The ARG 300 DCT CF-NC Automat is a dual-column CNC automatic band saw engineered for heavy-duty industrial production. Featuring a unique closed-section cast-iron arm, servo-driven precision feed and frequency-controlled blade speed, it delivers exceptional rigidity, cutting accuracy and reliability for large-scale metal processing operations.

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:
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.
This machine is engineered for uninterrupted industrial cutting performance.
Dual-column structural superiority
The combination of:
creates exceptional stiffness across the entire cutting system.
This ensures:
CNC feeding precision
The industrial servomotor paired with a precision ball screw guarantees:
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:
The floating feed vice design ensures accurate positioning even with uneven or crude workpieces.
The machine can operate in:
providing flexibility according to production requirements.
Frequency-controlled cutting optimization
Continuous blade speed regulation between 15 and 90 m/min allows precise adjustment for:
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.
The ARG 300 DCT CF-NC Automat is ideal for:
It is particularly suited for operations where structural rigidity and feeding precision are critical.
If your production requires:
The ARG 300 DCT CF-NC Automat delivers premium CNC automation combined with exceptional mechanical strength.
Within ANATECO’s portfolio, this model positions as a top-tier dual-column CNC bandsaw solution for high-demand industrial environments.
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.
