Overview
The ARG 640 DC S.A.F. is developed specifically for industrial cutting of large solid materials and heavy workpieces. The machine uses a 54 × 1.6 mm industrial band blade, providing exceptional cutting capacity and high productivity when processing large metal profiles.
Its dual-column arm support system moving on precision linear guides guarantees outstanding structural stiffness and minimal vibration during cutting operations. This ensures highly accurate cuts even when working with thick or high-strength materials.
The machine operates through a semi-automatic hydraulic cycle that automates the entire cutting process once activated. After the operator presses the start command, the system performs material clamping, cutting, arm lifting and vice release automatically.
Manual control mode is also available, allowing operators to control individual functions of the machine when required.
Dual-column cutting structure
The ARG 640 DC S.A.F. features a massive dual-column support structure that guides the saw arm along precision linear guides.
This design dramatically increases machine rigidity and reduces vibration during cutting operations. As a result, the blade remains stable even when cutting large solid metal sections.
The machine is designed specifically for perpendicular cutting, maximizing cutting accuracy and productivity in industrial environments.
Semi-automatic hydraulic cutting cycle
The integrated hydraulic system automates the entire cutting cycle with a single command.
The sequence includes:
This automation reduces operator workload and improves production efficiency when performing repetitive cutting tasks.
When needed, the machine can be switched to manual mode, allowing operators to control all machine functions individually.
Advanced touchscreen control interface
Machine operation is managed through a touchscreen control panel located on the ergonomic central console.
The display provides real-time operational data including:
The system also displays the recommended lifting height of the saw arm based on the material cross-section being processed.
This interface simplifies operation while allowing operators to monitor cutting performance and machine status efficiently.
Optimized cutting performance
The machine includes a frequency inverter that allows continuous blade speed adjustment between 15 and 90 metres per minute.
This enables optimal cutting conditions for a wide range of materials, including:
Proper blade speed selection significantly improves cutting precision and extends blade lifespan.
Industrial chip removal and cooling system
The machine base includes a solid screw chip conveyor located directly below the cutting area, ensuring efficient chip removal during continuous cutting operations.
The integrated high-performance coolant system allows adjustable coolant flow to both guiding heads as well as additional outlets. This ensures proper cooling and lubrication of the blade throughout the cutting process.
The cutting area is illuminated by high-intensity LED lighting, improving operator visibility and safety.
The ARG 640 DC S.A.F. is designed for heavy industrial cutting applications including:
Its robust construction and semi-automatic operation make it ideal for high-load production environments requiring reliable cutting performance.
The ARG 640 DC S.A.F. combines high cutting capacity with exceptional structural stability and advanced hydraulic automation. Its dual-column design ensures maximum rigidity during cutting operations, while the touchscreen control interface allows efficient monitoring and operation.
Within the ANATECO industrial equipment portfolio, the ARG 640 DC S.A.F. represents a high-performance solution for heavy-duty semi-automatic metal cutting.
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.
Electrical cleaning brush – Standard equipment
Steel circular brush powered by and industrial motor with worm gearbox. Used to remove chips from the saw band behind the cut.
Pressure regulation – Standard equipment
Hydraulically controlled double-side automatic regulation of saw band feed into cut according to the resistance of the material to be cut. Significantly reduces the cutting time and service life of the saw band.
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.
Bevel gearbox with 7,5 kW motor – Standard equipment
Bevel gearbox with motor 7,5 kW increases cutting power. Efficient for highly productive cutting of tough metal, e.g. stainless steel.
Hydraulic tensioning – Standard equipment
Ensures convenient tensioning of the saw band via the central control panel. Optimum tensioning of the saw band is essential for its service life and cutting accuracy.
Hydraulic pressure device HVP
The massive full-stroke pressure device ensures optimum vertical clamping when cutting workpieces in bundles. Hydraulics-controlled pressure plate with adjustable lifting height is guided through linear guidance and it clamps the workpiece along the full length of the vice. The lifting height according to the size of the workpiece is simply adjustable through a touchscreen and the clamping is synchronized with vertical vice.
Material chute KL 640
Continuously joins the vice behind the cut and allows for easy slide of cut pieces into a container when cutting larger series.
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.
Signalling beacon M2
Signalling beacon is designed for a remote check of the working status of the machine. Dichromatic beacon is fitted with LED lights of a high luminosity and visibility from all directions, thanks to a unique shape of lenses
Green light – indication of a working mode of the machine, sawblade is in the cut. After cutting operation and sawblade stopping the light switches off signalling that a next cut can be started.
Red light – indication of malfunction, e.g. broken sawblade, main motor overload, opened safety cover and other failures leading to the stop of the machine.
Additional roller PV
To be installed instead of the slide behind the cut. Facilitates the feed of the material when cutting long workpieces.
Additional vice behind the cut ADV
The double-sided workpiece clamping prevents unwanted movement of the workpiece during cutting, reduces vibrations and spares the saw blade.
Scraper chip conveyor SDA
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. Ideal for small brittle chips and cast iron chips.
Plate Chip Conveyor SDC
The plate chip conveyor is equipped with a steel plate conveyor belt on which the chips fall and are carried by transverse scrapers into a prepared collection container. This full plate belt with protrusions prevents chips from sticking to the belt. The solid plates of the belt, on the other hand, prevent small chips from flowing through the belt. This type is also suitable for aluminum chips.
Chip container SDB
For easy handling is chip container equipped with wheels and swivel chip bin.
