AMADA INTRODUCES HKB6050

LA MIRADA, CA, March 4, 2003 -- Amada Cutting Technologies, Inc. (ACT; www.amadabandsaw.com) has rolled out the HKB6050, a fully automatic, double-posted full capacity bundle cutting band saw. The 10,000 lb. machine, measuring 122" x 138" x 85" has a number of standard features including:

Full capacity bundle vise. Extremely rigid and heavy duty vising for fast, accurate cutting of full capacity (20" x 20") bundles using all types of materials. Positive clamping on all sides of the bundle virtually eliminates movement of the pieces being cut.
Automatic trim cut. The patented device gives the operator the option of whether or not a trim cut is needed. Expensive set-up times are reduced, which increases productivity.
Auto guide arm positioning. Eliminates the possibility of operator error in the initial setup. The guide arms will always be as close as possible to the pieces being cut.
NC back gauge auto feed. Has a conveniently located operator's station with controls for the NC back gauge, which cuts pressure and flow for fast set up and economic cutting.
Cutting rate digital display. Shows desired feed rate - can be preset and verified prior to starting cutting operations.
Blade deviation monitor. Monitors any blade deviation created by improper feeds and speeds, and assures straight and accurate saw cuts.
