The ARG 260 Plus gravitation bandsaw offers increased 260 mm cutting capacity, redesigned high-rigidity arm construction, and extended bilateral mitre capability. With manual uplift supported by adjustable springs and ergonomic control, it provides precise, durable and flexible cutting performance for professional workshops.
Manufactured by PILOUS, the ARG 260 Plus is the enhanced gravitation version of the proven ARG 250 series. It combines increased cutting capacity, a newly engineered high-rigidity arm, and expanded bilateral mitre functionality in a mechanically robust configuration designed for professional workshops and continuous production facilities.
With maximum cutting diameter increased to 260 mm and improved structural design, the ARG 260 Plus delivers precision, durability and operational control without hydraulic or CNC complexity.
Overview
The redesigned bandsaw arm features internal cavities that house wiring and coolant lines, protecting them from damage while improving structural rigidity. Larger diameter running wheels significantly reduce blade bending stress, extending blade life and improving cut accuracy.
Blade replacement and maintenance are simplified via a hinged arm cover that remains open in the upper position for easy access.
The cutting process is gravity-fed, with continuous feed regulation through an oil damper relief valve. Once the cut is completed, the blade drive automatically switches off.
Manual arm uplift is assisted by adjustable tension springs, allowing the operator to set optimal lifting force depending on material weight and cutting conditions. Additionally, the uplift system includes a height-adjustable lever for improved ergonomic operation.
The “Plus” configuration enhances versatility and structural integrity within the gravitation category.
Enhanced mitre capability
The vice system allows continuous bilateral adjustment:
The rotating turntable moves with the blade, preventing contact with the vice loading surface and protecting machine components during angled cutting.
Fixed stops at key angles simplify repetitive production tasks.
Structural stability
The framework is constructed from grey cast iron castings, ensuring effective vibration absorption and long-term dimensional stability.
The large base and reinforced arm turning system provide:
Cutting performance
The industrial blade (27 × 0.9 mm) supports cutting of:
The three-phase two-speed motor (400 V) allows blade speed selection between 35 and 75 m/min, optimizing performance according to material type.
Ergonomic control
Adjustable tension springs and a height-adjustable uplift lever reduce operator strain during repetitive operations.
The integrated cooling system with high-performance pump enables independent regulation on both guiding heads for efficient thermal control.
The ARG 260 Plus is ideal for:
Its expanded angular range makes it particularly suitable for structural assemblies and frame manufacturing.
If your workshop requires:
The ARG 260 Plus delivers structural strength and precision in a refined gravitation configuration.
Within ANATECO’s portfolio, this model serves as a premium manual gravitation solution for professional metalworking operations demanding flexibility and durability.
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.
Auto-start descent of the arm
In standard machines, the control valve of the arm descent has to be shut after the arm uplift and by the next arm descent, the descent speed has to be set again. In this version, the control valve is additionally fitted with an electro-hydraulic valve, which remains after the arm uplift in the set position. After saw blade start, it is automatically released and the arm descents into the cut at a set speed. Thus, setting of the descent speed for each cut falls off. This significantly eliminates operator error and thus protects the saw blades, and increases also productivity of the machine. An ideal help when cutting material in larger series.
