Overview
The ARG 640 DC CF-NC Automat is engineered for fully automated industrial cutting of heavy and large-section materials. The machine operates with a robust 54 × 1.6 mm industrial band blade, providing superior cutting stability and high productivity when processing large metal profiles or solid bars.
The machine is equipped with an advanced servomotor-driven workpiece feeding system, supported by a planetary gearbox and ball screw transmission. This configuration ensures precise positioning and reliable feeding of even extremely heavy workpieces.
Three programmable feed speeds are available:
The system allows a maximum single feed length of 600 mm, making the machine ideal for repetitive cutting of long materials in automated production environments.
Heavy-duty dual-column cutting structure
The ARG 640 DC CF-NC Automat features a massive dual-column arm support system moving on precision linear guides, ensuring exceptional structural stiffness during cutting operations.
This configuration significantly reduces vibration and blade deflection when cutting large solid materials. As a result, the machine achieves extremely precise cuts even in demanding industrial conditions.
The design is optimized for perpendicular cutting, maximizing stability and productivity in automated cutting operations.
High-performance CNC automation
Machine operation is managed through a central CNC control panel equipped with a 7.5-inch colour touchscreen.
The control system enables programming of up to 60 cutting programs, allowing fast setup for repetitive production tasks. Each program can be labeled with identification details such as drawing numbers or material types.
The machine supports three operating modes:
This flexibility allows integration into a wide range of manufacturing workflows.
Precision servomotor feeding system
The workpiece feeding system is powered by a high-performance industrial servomotor with planetary gearbox and ball screw transmission.
This design ensures:
The system maintains high feed accuracy even under heavy industrial loads.
Advanced vice and guide system
Material clamping is performed using a full-stroke double-jaw vice that securely grips the workpiece both before and after the cutting point.
The vice assembly moves along precision linear guides, maintaining perfect alignment during feeding and cutting operations.
For cutting irregular materials such as forgings, the vice system features a dual-jaw opening mechanism. Both jaws temporarily open during feeding to prevent contact conflicts and ensure precise positioning of the workpiece.
The blade guide block automatically moves together with the vice jaw, positioning itself as close as possible to the cutting zone to improve stability and cutting accuracy.
Optimized cutting performance
The machine includes a frequency converter that allows blade speed adjustment between 15 and 90 metres per minute.
This capability ensures optimal cutting parameters for different materials such as:
Additionally, both blade guiding heads include automatic feed regulation, improving cutting speed while extending blade service life.
Industrial chip removal and cooling system
The machine base integrates a screw chip conveyor positioned directly beneath the cutting area, ensuring continuous chip removal during automated production.
Chips can be transported to an optional metal container equipped with a removable drip tray.
The machine also includes a high-performance coolant system with multiple adjustable outlets to ensure proper lubrication and cooling of the blade.
A high-intensity LED lighting system provides clear illumination of the cutting area for improved operator visibility and safety.
The ARG 640 DC CF-NC Automat is designed for heavy industrial metal cutting, 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.
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.
Bevel gearbox with 7,5 kW motor – Standard equipment
Bevel gearbox with motor 7,5 kW increases cutting power. Efficient for highly productive cutting of tough metal, e.g. stainless steel.
Hydraulic tensioning – Standard equipment
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.
Hydraulic pressure device HVP
The massive full-stroke pressure device ensures optimum vertical clamping when cutting workpieces in bundles. Hydraulics-controlled pressure plate with adjustable lifting height is guided through linear guidance and it clamps the workpiece along the full length of the vice. The lifting height according to the size of the workpiece is simply adjustable through a touchscreen and the clamping is synchronized with vertical vice.
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.
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.
Additional roller PV
To be installed instead of the slide behind the cut. Facilitates the feed of the material when cutting long workpieces.
Scraper chip conveyor SDA
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. Ideal for small brittle chips and cast iron chips.
Plate Chip Conveyor SDC
The plate chip conveyor is equipped with a steel plate conveyor belt on which the chips fall and are carried by transverse scrapers into a prepared collection container. This full plate belt with protrusions prevents chips from sticking to the belt. The solid plates of the belt, on the other hand, prevent small chips from flowing through the belt. This type is also suitable for aluminum chips.
