Overview
The ARG 520 DC CF-NC Automat is engineered for fully automated industrial cutting operations, where productivity and repeatable accuracy are essential.
The machine operates with a 41 × 1.3 mm industrial band blade, enabling precise cutting of large metal sections including stainless steel, alloy steels and tool steels.
A powerful servomotor feeding system combined with a planetary gearbox and ball screw mechanism ensures extremely precise material positioning, even when performing multiple feed cycles for long workpieces.
The system allows programmable feed speeds of 27, 42 or 50 mm/s, with a maximum single feed length of 600 mm.
Through its CNC control interface, the machine can execute fully automatic cutting sequences with minimal operator intervention.
Dual-column structural stability
The ARG 520 DC CF-NC Automat uses a massive dual-column support system moving on precision linear guides, providing exceptional rigidity during cutting operations.
This construction minimizes vibration and blade deflection when cutting large solid materials, ensuring high cutting accuracy even in the most demanding production environments.
The machine is designed specifically for perpendicular cutting, maximizing stability and productivity in automated industrial workflows.
CNC automated cutting system
A central CNC control unit with a 7.5-inch colour touchscreen enables intuitive operation and full automation of cutting processes.
Operators can program up to 60 different cutting programs, allowing rapid setup for repetitive production tasks. Each program can be annotated with references such as drawing numbers or material specifications.
The machine supports:
This flexibility allows the machine to adapt to different production workflows and material types.
Precision servomotor feeding system
The material feed system is driven by a high-precision industrial servomotor equipped with a planetary gearbox and ball screw transmission.
This configuration ensures:
The system also enables smooth motion of heavy metal bars and billets without compromising cutting accuracy.
Intelligent vice and guide system
Material clamping is achieved through a full-stroke double-jaw vice, which grips the material both before and after the cutting point.
The vice assembly moves along precision linear guides, ensuring consistent alignment during feeding operations.
To support cutting of uneven materials such as forgings, the vice system includes a dual-jaw opening mechanism that prevents feeding conflicts and maintains accurate positioning.
The blade guide block automatically moves together with the vice, positioning itself as close as possible to the cutting area. This reduces blade vibration and increases cutting precision.
Optimized cutting performance
The machine uses a frequency converter to adjust blade speed between 15 and 90 metres per minute, enabling optimal cutting conditions for a wide range of materials.
Additionally, both blade guiding heads feature automatic feed regulation, improving cutting speed, accuracy and blade lifespan.
The industrial hydraulic system controls:
This ensures consistent cutting performance even when processing heavy workpieces.
Industrial-grade chip removal and cooling
The machine base includes a screw chip conveyor located directly beneath the cutting area, ensuring efficient chip removal during continuous operation.
Chips can be directed into an optional metal container with a removable drip tray.
A high-performance coolant system with adjustable outlets ensures efficient cooling and lubrication of the blade during cutting operations.
The cutting area is illuminated by high-intensity LED lighting, improving operator visibility and safety.
The ARG 520 DC CF-NC Automat is designed for large-scale industrial cutting tasks, including:

Frequency converter – Standard equipment
Enables continuous blade speed regulation between 15–90 m/min. and thus setting the optimum cutting conditions for the given material.
Electrical cleaning brush – Standard equipment
Steel circular brush powered by and industrial motor with worm gearbox. Used to remove chips from the saw band behind the cut.
Pressure regulation – Standard equipment
Hydraulically controlled double-side automatic regulation of saw band feed into cut according to the resistance of the material to be cut. Significantly reduces the cutting time and service life of the saw band.
Screw chips conveyor – Standard equipment
Ensures smooth removal of chips from the machine. Reduces the time needed for the cleaning of the machine especially when cutting series of full materials producing large amount of chips.
Rinse spray gun – Standard equipment
For cleaning working space of the machine.
LED Light – Standard equipment
High-quality lighting of the work area by a line of powerful LESs with a cover. An invaluable tool especially when the lighting at the workplace is insufficient.
Material chute KL 640
Continuously joins the vice behind the cut and allows for easy slide of cut pieces into a container when cutting larger series.
Oil mist lubrication MM
Creates an oil mist that is sprayed onto the cutting edge. It replaces the use of a classic coolant, especially when cutting sections during which leakages may occur. Possibility of using organic oils.
Laser alignment LS
High-quality industrial laser projects the cutting line on the material to be cut. Makes the setting of the required material length simpler, faster and more accurate.
Hydraulic tensioning
Ensures convenient tensioning of the saw band via the central control panel. Optimum tensioning of the saw band is essential for its service life and cutting accuracy.
Saw band tension indicator CD
Ensures accurate tensioning of the saw band to a required value according to the pressure gauge and its control during the use of the machine. Optimum tensioning of the saw band is essential for its service life and cutting accuracy.
Signalling beacon M2
Signalling beacon is designed for a remote check of the working status of the machine. Dichromatic beacon is fitted with LED lights of a high luminosity and visibility from all directions, thanks to a unique shape of lenses.
Green light – indication of a working mode of the machine, sawblade is in the cut. After cutting operation and sawblade stopping the light switches off signalling that a next cut can be started.
Red light – indication of malfunction, e.g. broken sawblade, main motor overload, opened safety cover and other failures leading to the stop of the machine.
Signalling beacon M3
Signalling beacon is designed for a remote check of the working status of the machine. Trichromatic beacon is fitted with LED lights of a high luminosity and visibility from all directions, thanks to a unique shape of lenses.
Green light – indication of a working mode of the machine, sawblade is in the cut. After cutting operation and sawblade stopping the light switches off signalling that a next cut can be started.
Red light – indication of malfunction, e.g. broken sawblade, main motor overload, opened safety cover and other failures leading to the stop of the machine.
Blue light – indication of material ending etc.
Bevel gearbox with 5,5 kW motor
Bevel gearbox with stronger motor 5,5 kW increases cutting power. Efficient for highly productive cutting of tough metal, e.g. stainless steel.
Chip container SDB 520
For easy handling is chip container equiped with wheels and swivel chip bin.
Chip separator
The chip separator is a galvanized, finely perforated container for efficient collection of sawdust that has passed through a sieve in the base. This container is easily removable when filled and is easy to clean outside the machine.
Magnetic chip separator
For particularly fine chips that have passed through the sieves in the saw, a highly efficient magnetic separator is used. It saves time for cleaning and disassembling the cooling path and extends the service life of the cooling emulsion. This device is easily removable and easy to clean outside the machine by simply pulling the magnetic bars out of the housing.
