The ARG 300 plus H.F. hydraulic-gravitation band saw combines a redesigned hollow cast-iron arm, automatic hydraulic uplift and frequency-controlled blade speed (15–90 m/min). With bilateral mitre capability and robust construction, it delivers precise, stable and efficient cutting performance for demanding industrial environments.
Manufactured by PILOUS, the ARG 300 plus H.F. is a high-capacity hydraulic-gravitation band saw developed from the legendary ARG 300 platform. Featuring a completely redesigned hollow cast-iron arm, automatic hydraulic uplift and frequency-controlled blade speed, this model delivers superior rigidity, precision and productivity for demanding industrial environments.
It is engineered for continuous operation plants and professional workshops where reliability, structural strength and optimized cutting parameters are essential.
Overview
The new-generation saw arm is built as a hollow closed-section casting across all load-bearing points. This construction guarantees:
All electrical wiring and coolant distribution are fully integrated within the arm structure, protecting them from mechanical damage.
The hydraulic unit automatically lifts the arm after the cut is completed. Uplift height is adjustable according to workpiece dimensions, enhancing workflow efficiency in repetitive or series cutting.
Feed into the cut is gravity-based and continuously adjustable via an oil damper butterfly valve. Once the cut finishes, the band drive switches off automatically and the arm returns to the preset position.
The plus H.F. configuration combines hydraulic support with advanced speed regulation.
Structural durability
The machine framework consists of grey cast iron castings, ensuring excellent vibration absorption and long-term stability.
The massive arm turning system and wide loading surfaces provide exceptional rigidity, even when cutting heavy full materials.
Large-diameter running wheels and three-side hardmetal blade guiding guarantee precise tracking and extended blade life.
Overdimensioned bearings and tensioning systems further increase operational durability.
Hydraulic efficiency
The hydraulic uplift mechanism significantly reduces manual effort and improves cycle efficiency in medium production batches.
Adjustable uplift height allows adaptation to different workpiece sizes.
Frequency-controlled performance
Continuous blade speed regulation between 15 and 90 m/min enables precise adaptation to:
Optimized speed control improves cutting accuracy, productivity and saw band longevity.
Angular versatility
The vice system allows continuous bilateral angle adjustment:
The rotating turntable moves with the saw band, preventing damage to the vice loading surface during angular cutting.
The ARG 300 plus H.F. is ideal for:
It is particularly suited for operations requiring hydraulic assistance combined with optimized blade speed control.
If your operation requires:
The ARG 300 plus H.F. offers a powerful combination of mechanical strength and advanced performance control.
Within ANATECO’s portfolio, this model positions as a premium hydraulic-gravitation solution for professional metalworking facilities demanding precision and productivity.
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.
