ARG 260 H

The ARG 260 H introduces a completely redesigned bandsaw arm featuring internal cavities that house wiring and coolant lines, protecting them from mechanical damage. Larger diameter running wheels reduce blade bending stress, extending blade life and improving overall cutting precision.

The hydraulic unit enables automatic lifting of the saw arm after the cut is completed. This significantly reduces operator fatigue, especially during repetitive cutting operations or medium production batches.

Cutting feed into the material is gravity-based, with continuous regulation through an oil damper relief valve. Once the cut is finished:

• The blade drive switches off automatically
• The arm rises to the preset position
• The machine is ready for the next cycle

This configuration ensures a balance between simplicity and operational efficiency.

Key points

• Hydraulic arm uplift after cut completion
• Increased cutting capacity up to 260 mm diameter
• Redesigned high-rigidity arm casting
• Large-diameter running wheels reducing blade stress
• Gravity-controlled feed with oil damper regulation
• Two-speed motor (40 / 80 m/min)
• Manual mitre cutting range 90°–60°
• Massive quick-clamping vice
• Integrated cooling system with adjustable flow
• Automatic blade tension and break detection
• 500 mm adjustable material stop included

The ARG 260 H is designed for professional users who require both reliability and workflow efficiency.

Technical advantages

Reinforced structural design

The framework is composed of grey cast iron castings, ensuring superior vibration absorption and structural stability. The massive base construction supports accurate cutting even with heavy workpieces.

The redesigned arm concept enhances:

• System rigidity
• Blade tracking precision
• Reduced vibration
• Extended blade service life

Hydraulic assistance

The integrated hydraulic unit simplifies daily operation. After each cut, the automatic uplift of the arm reduces manual effort and improves cycle time efficiency.

The adjustable uplift height allows optimization according to workpiece size, increasing operational flexibility.

Cutting performance

The industrial blade dimension (27 × 0.9 mm) supports cutting of:

• Carbon steel
• Stainless steel
• Tool steel
• Structural profiles
• Non-ferrous metals

The two-speed three-phase motor (400 V) allows blade speed selection according to material type, enhancing cutting accuracy and blade longevity.

Safety and reliability

The machine continuously monitors blade tension and automatically switches off in case of blade breakage, protecting both the operator and machine components.

The cooling system includes a high-performance pump with independent regulation on both guiding heads, ensuring optimal thermal management during operation.

Applications

The ARG 260 H is ideal for:

• Metal fabrication workshops
• Maintenance departments
• Locksmith operations
• Continuous production plants
• Steel profile cutting
• Solid bar processing
• Stainless and tool steel applications

It is particularly suitable for operations requiring repeated cuts with improved ergonomics but without full automation complexity.

Why choose the ARG 260 H

If your facility requires:

• Increased cutting capacity
• Semi-automatic efficiency
• Industrial durability
• Reduced operator fatigue
• Reliable European manufacturing quality

The ARG 260 H provides a robust and efficient solution positioned between manual gravity models and full CNC automation systems.

Within ANATECO’s portfolio, this machine serves as a high-performance hydraulic workshop solution for professional metal processing environments.

Conveyors

ACCESSORIES

Workpiece stop – Standard equipment

Robust stop with a 500mm scale for setting the required length of the material to be cut.

Frequency converter

Enables continuous blade speed regulation between 15–90 m/min. and thus setting the optimum cutting conditions for the given material.

Pressure device

Used to clamp the bundles of material to be cut. Ensures simple and reliable material clamping using a vertical contact pressure.

Material chute KL

Continuously joins the vice behind the cut and allows for easy slide of cut pieces into a container when cutting larger series. The chute construction consisting of 2 parts prevents leakage of the coolant.

Halogen lamp LA

Provides good lighting of the workplace of the machine. An invaluable tool especially when the lighting at the workplace is insufficient.

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.

Cleaning brush KDM

Steel cleaning brush, driven by driving wheel. Used to remove chips from the saw band behind the cut.

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.
