more about the
ARG 300 DCT CF-NC Automat

Manufactured by PILOUS, the ARG 300 DCT CF-NC Automat represents the dual-column evolution of the legendary ARG 300 CF-NC platform. Designed for heavy industrial production and non-stop operation, this fully automated CNC band saw integrates a unique closed-section cast-iron arm with a rigid dual-column support system moving on precision linear guides.

Engineered for high-volume cutting of solid materials and large cross-sections, the ARG 300 DCT CF-NC delivers maximum structural stiffness, exceptional feeding accuracy and long saw blade service life.

Overview

The core innovation lies in its entirely new arm design. The massive grey cast-iron arm forms a hollow closed section along its full load-bearing length. In combination with the dual-column support system, this configuration ensures:

  • Outstanding structural rigidity
  • Precise and stable cutting under heavy load
  • Reduced vibration
  • Extended saw blade lifespan

Unlike conventional dual-column systems, this model incorporates an original arm swing mechanism allowing angular cutting while maintaining the structural advantages of the two-column design.

Continuous manual angle adjustment from 90° to 45° enables both straight and mitre cuts in automatic or manual modes.

Key points

  • Dual-column CNC automatic system
  • Closed-section hollow cast-iron arm
  • Linear guide dual-column support for maximum rigidity
  • Servo-driven material feed with precision ball screw
  • Three programmable feed rates: 27 / 42 / 50 mm/s
  • Maximum single feed: 500 mm
  • 7.5” colour touchscreen CNC control panel
  • Up to 60 programmable cutting programs
  • Frequency-controlled blade speed: 15–90 m/min
  • Hydraulic clamping with adjustable vice pressure
  • Floating feed vice for uneven materials
  • Manual mitre cutting 90°–45°
  • Heavy-duty grey cast iron framework

This machine is engineered for uninterrupted industrial cutting performance.

Technical advantages

Dual-column structural superiority

The combination of:

  • Massive grey cast-iron arm
  • Closed-section hollow arm construction
  • Dual-column support moving on linear guides

creates exceptional stiffness across the entire cutting system.

This ensures:

  • High precision during cutting of full materials
  • Dimensional consistency in heavy cross-sections
  • Stable performance in continuous production

CNC feeding precision

The industrial servomotor paired with a precision ball screw guarantees:

  • High-speed feeding
  • Maximum positioning accuracy
  • Reliable multi-step feed for long workpieces

Up to 60 programmable cutting programs can be stored and annotated, enabling fast configuration for repetitive production runs.

Hydraulic control and versatility

Hydraulic systems manage:

  • Workpiece clamping
  • Arm feed movement
  • Adjustable vice pressure

The floating feed vice design ensures accurate positioning even with uneven or crude workpieces.

The machine can operate in:

  • Fully automatic mode
  • Semi-automatic mode
  • Manual mode

providing flexibility according to production requirements.

Frequency-controlled cutting optimization

Continuous blade speed regulation between 15 and 90 m/min allows precise adjustment for:

  • Carbon steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Tool steel
  • Large structural profiles
  • Heavy solid materials

Optimized blade speed enhances cut quality and extends blade life.

Industrial stability and durability

The entire framework is composed of grey cast iron castings with a massive feeding system structure and large machine base.

The base includes a large removable chip container and allows installation of an optional worm chip conveyor.

Large-diameter blade wheels, three-side hardened steel blade guides and overdimensioned bearings ensure long-term mechanical durability.

Applications

The ARG 300 DCT CF-NC Automat is ideal for:

  • Heavy industrial production plants
  • Steel service centers
  • High-volume serial cutting
  • Processing of large cross-sections
  • Continuous non-stop manufacturing
  • Stainless and tool steel cutting
  • Heavy structural steel applications

It is particularly suited for operations where structural rigidity and feeding precision are critical.

Accessories

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.

Material chute – Standard equipment

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.

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.

Hydraulic pressure device NC

Used to clamp bundles of material to be cut. It provides reliable clamping with hydraulically operated vertical pressure, working within the machine’s cycle. It is installed on the fixed vice and feeding vice.

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.

Screw chips conveyor SD

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.

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.

Chip container SDB

For easy handling is chip container equipped 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.
