more about the
ARG 300 plus E

Manufactured by PILOUS, the ARG 300 plus E is a high-capacity gravitation band saw designed for continuous industrial use and professional metalworking workshops. It combines a modernized cast-iron arm structure, bilateral mitre flexibility and optimized mechanical performance within a manually controlled gravitation system.

Engineered for durability and precision, the ARG 300 plus E delivers reliable cutting accuracy across a wide range of materials while maintaining operational simplicity.

Overview

The cutting process follows a gravitation principle:

  • Feed into the cut is controlled by the weight of the arm
  • Fine feed adjustment is achieved through an oil damper butterfly valve
  • The blade drive switches off automatically once the cut is completed

Manual arm uplift is supported by adjustable tension springs, allowing operators to set the optimal lifting force according to workpiece characteristics.

The vice system enhances versatility with continuous bilateral angle adjustment:

  • Up to 60° to the right
  • Up to 45° to the left

The rotating turntable moves together with the saw band, preventing blade contact with the vice loading surface during angular cuts.

Key points

  • Advanced hollow closed-section cast-iron arm design
  • Manual gravitation feed with fine oil damper regulation
  • Automatic blade stop after cut completion
  • Bilateral mitre cutting: 60° right / 45° left
  • Adjustable arm uplift with tension springs
  • Industrial band size 27 × 0.9 mm
  • Two-speed motor: 40 / 80 m/min (400 V)
  • Optional frequency converter (15–90 m/min) – PLUS E.F. version
  • Massive quick-clamping vice system
  • Integrated cooling system with independent regulation
  • Adjustable workpiece stop with 250 mm scale

The ARG 300 plus E elevates gravitation cutting with enhanced rigidity and angular flexibility.

Technical advantages

Closed-section arm construction

The most advanced arm casting concept creates a hollow closed section along the entire load-bearing length. This ensures:

  • Exceptional structural stiffness
  • Maximum cutting accuracy
  • Reduced vibration
  • Extended blade service life

All electrical wiring and coolant lines are concealed within the arm, protecting them from damage and contamination.

Blade replacement and cleaning are simplified by a hinged rear cover that locks securely in the open position.

Mechanical durability

The robust framework consists of grey cast iron castings, guaranteeing effective vibration absorption.

Overdimensioned bearings, tensioning components and rotary elements extend overall machine lifespan in long-term industrial use.

Large-diameter running wheels and three-side hardened steel blade guides ensure precise band tracking and cutting consistency.

Drive and cutting optimization

The industrial electric motor with worm gearbox provides maintenance-free and quiet operation.

Standard two-speed configuration (40 / 80 m/min) supports material-based speed selection. The ARG 300 PLUS E.F. variant includes a frequency converter for continuous speed regulation between 15–90 m/min (2.2 kW motor), optimizing cutting conditions across various materials.

Cooling and operational control

The integrated cooling system includes a high-performance pump with independent flow regulation on both guiding heads.

Ergonomically positioned electrical and hydraulic controls ensure straightforward and safe operation.

Applications

The ARG 300 plus E is suitable for:

  • Non-stop production facilities
  • Metal fabrication workshops
  • Maintenance departments
  • Structural steel processing
  • Mitre cutting of frames and profiles
  • Stainless and tool steel cutting
  • General-purpose industrial metal cutting

Its bilateral angular flexibility makes it particularly effective for complex structural assemblies.

Why choose the ARG 300 plus E

If your operation requires:

  • High structural rigidity
  • Extended mitre cutting flexibility
  • Mechanical simplicity with advanced engineering
  • Long blade service life
  • Industrial-grade durability

The ARG 300 plus E provides a refined gravitation solution with enhanced performance and versatility.

Within ANATECO’s portfolio, this model positions as a premium manual gravitation bandsaw for professional environments demanding precision and structural strength.

Accessories

Workpiece stop – Standard equipment

Simple stop 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.

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.

Workpiece stop 500 mm

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

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.
