ARG 300 plus F

Manufactured by PILOUS, the ARG 300 plus F is a modernized gravitation band saw built upon the long-standing ARG 300 series platform. Featuring a completely redesigned saw arm and integrated frequency-controlled blade speed, this model delivers exceptional structural rigidity, cutting precision and operational efficiency for demanding metalworking environments.

Engineered for professional workshops and continuous production facilities, the ARG 300 plus F combines mechanical simplicity with advanced performance control.

Overview

At the core of the ARG 300 plus F is a newly developed cast-iron arm forming a hollow closed section along all load-bearing points. This advanced structural concept guarantees:

• Outstanding system stiffness
• High cutting accuracy
• Reduced vibration
• Extended saw band service life

Electrical wiring and coolant distribution are fully concealed within the arm, protecting critical components from mechanical damage.

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

The gravitation cutting system operates through:

• Weight-controlled arm feed
• Continuous regulation via oil damper butterfly valve
• Automatic blade drive stop after cut completion

Manual arm uplift is supported by adjustable tension springs, allowing optimization according to material characteristics.

Key points

• Redesigned hollow closed-section cast-iron arm
• Integrated frequency converter (15–90 m/min)
• Manual gravitation feed with oil damper regulation
• Automatic blade stop after cutting cycle
• Bilateral mitre cutting: 60° right / 45° left
• Rotating turntable aligned with saw band
• Industrial band size 27 × 0.9 mm
• Massive quick-clamping vice system
• Large stable base with reinforced arm turning system
• Integrated cooling system with independent flow control
• 500 mm hinged material stop included

The “plus F” configuration enhances cutting efficiency through frequency-controlled speed regulation.

Technical advantages

Frequency-controlled cutting optimization

The integrated frequency converter allows continuous blade speed adjustment between 15 and 90 m/min. This enables precise adaptation to:

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

Optimized speed selection directly improves surface finish, cutting accuracy and saw band longevity.

Structural durability

The robust machine framework composed of grey cast iron castings ensures excellent vibration absorption.

The overdimensioned running wheel bearings, tensioning system and rotary components significantly extend machine service life.

Large-diameter running wheels combined with precise three-side hard-metal blade guiding guarantee accurate band tracking and consistent cutting performance.

Advanced mitre flexibility

The vice system enables continuous bilateral angle adjustment:

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

The rotating turntable moves with the saw band, preventing damage to the vice loading surface during angled cutting.

Fixed stops simplify angle positioning for repetitive tasks.

Ergonomic and maintenance-friendly design

The adjustable tension springs facilitate smoother manual arm uplift.

Ergonomically placed controls allow intuitive operation.

The integrated cooling system with high-performance pump supports independent flow regulation at both guiding heads for optimal thermal management.

Applications

The ARG 300 plus F is ideal for:

• Industrial fabrication workshops
• Continuous production plants
• Structural steel processing
• Frame and profile mitre cutting
• Stainless and tool steel applications
• General-purpose metal cutting

Its frequency-controlled capability makes it particularly suitable for environments requiring optimized cutting parameters across varied materials.

Why choose the ARG 300 plus F

The ARG 300 plus F provides a high-performance gravitation solution with advanced control and mechanical strength.

Within ANATECO’s portfolio, this model positions as a premium gravitation bandsaw for professional metalworking facilities demanding precision and performance optimization.

Accessories

Workpiece stop – Standard equipment

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

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.

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.
