About this file
This document is a Statement of Objectives (SOO) for procurement of a Vertical Tilt-Frame Band Saw, Hydraulic, Fully-Featured. The government requires a heavy-duty, hydraulically powered metal cutting band saw designed for high-capacity, precision cutting of structural materials with maximum versatility, automation, and safety features. The machine must feature a tilting frame capable of performing complex miter cuts up to 60° left and right of vertical with electronic touch screen positioning control.
The required salient characteristics encompass core capabilities including a canted saw head fixed at 3° forward approach angle, an advanced blade guidance system with rotating carbide and ball bearing roller guides with self-tensioning design, and a 10-horsepower blade drive motor. Material handling and clamping requirements include an 8,000 lbs minimum workload capacity, a full-stroking hydraulic main vise measuring 9.5" high by 15" wide with 60° faceplates, variable vise pressure control, powered chip conveyor, right-to-left work entry configuration, laser alignment light, and flushing hose. The control system must include a programmable logic controller with a 12" color touch-screen, hydraulically positioned and locked upper blade guide arm, and a dual lubrication system providing both flood coolant and selectable mist lubrication. Technical specifications include maximum cutting capacities of 20.0" round at 90°, blade size of 18'2" length by 1-1/2" width by 0.050" thickness, variable blade speed of 30-650 feet per minute, feed force of 0-350 lbs, maximum blade tension of 45,000 psi, and hydraulic oil and cutting fluid capacities of 10 and 2 gallons respectively.

SECTION 1: ITEM IDENTIFICATION
• Nomenclature: Vertical Tilt-Frame Band Saw, Hydraulic, Fully-Featured
SECTION 2: GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A heavy-duty, hydraulically powered metal cutting band saw for high-capacity, precision cutting. The system must be fully configured with all manufacturer-specified salient characteristics and optional features for maximum versatility, automation, and safety. The machine's design must feature a tilting frame to perform complex miter cuts.
SECTION 3: REQUIRED SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS
A. Core Capabilities & Frame Design
1. Miter Cutting Frame: Saw frame must be capable of tilting up to 60° left and right of vertical, with positioning controlled electronically via a touch screen.
2. Canted Saw Head: Saw head must be fixed at a 3° forward approach angle to optimize cutting efficiency on structural materials.
3. Advanced Blade Guidance System: Must feature rotating easy-load combination carbide and ball bearing roller guides with a self-tensioning design.
4. 10-Horsepower Blade Drive: For tough-to-cut applications.
B. Material Handling, Clamping & Automation
1. Work Load Capacity: Machine bed and structure must support a minimum workload of 8,000 lbs.
2. Primary Vise System: Must be equipped with a full-stroking hydraulic main vise (9.5" high x 15" wide) with 60° faceplates and a second machine vise.
3. Variable Vise Pressure Control: The hydraulic system must allow for the adjustment of clamping pressure.
4. Powered Chip Conveyor: Must be equipped with a powered conveyor system to automatically remove cutting chips.
5. Work Entry: The machine must be configured for opposite hand (right-to-left) work entry.
6. Laser Alignment Light: Must be equipped with a laser projected for quick spotting of the cut to be made.
7. Flushing Hose: Must include a hose to wash away chips from hard-to-reach places.
C. Control System & Lubrication
1. Programmable Logic Controller (PLC): Must have a programmable control with a 12" color touch-screen.
2. Automated Guide Arm: The upper blade guide arm must be hydraulically positioned and locked via controls at the operator's station.
3. Dual Lubrication System: The machine must be equipped with both a standard flood coolant system and a selectable mist lubrication system.
