Bandsaw Requirements Summary
This document specifies technical requirements for a bandsaw machine needed by the Metals Technology section for repeatable manufacturing operations. The bandsaw must feature a 120° dual swivel head (60° left/60° right) for precise angle reproduction, a 31.5" material pass height to accommodate metal stock sizes ranging from 0.25" to 2.5", and a control panel positioned at minimum 3 feet from the cutting head for personnel safety. The machine must include a recirculating coolant system with passive filtration for continuous cutting of hardened steels, variable vise pressure for accurate clamping without metal damage, and digitally displayed angle positioning for precise cutting alignment. Additional required features include adjustable saw blade guards, semi-automatic cycling for cutting multiple same-sized pieces, automatic overload feed protection to prevent blade snapping, hydraulic clamping vise, hydraulic blade tension, and a driven band brush to prevent metal chip clogging.
The bandsaw must meet specific performance and spatial constraints. The band drive motor must exceed 3 horsepower to accommodate hardened steel cutting, with variable band speed ranging from over 300 feet per minute (fpm) down to below 80 fpm to process metals including stainless steel, nickel chrome moly, machining steel, tool steel, titanium, Inconel, beryllium copper, brass, and aluminum. The machine must fit within the facility's floor space constriction of 150" width by 65" length with no height restrictions. The technical specifications indicate the procured bandsaw will feature a 5 horsepower band drive motor, 65-328 fpm band speed, hydraulic blade tension, a 1.25-inch by 212-inch saw blade, 1 horsepower hydraulic motor with 3-gallon reservoir, flood coolant system with mist lubrication, and a 5-gallon coolant reservoir. The machine will require 460V-60Hz-3ph electrical configuration with 9 amps full load amperage, weigh 2,646 pounds, and provide 31.5" material pass height and 136" width by 45" length by 65" height floor dimensions.

BANDSAW REQUIREMENTS
The Metals Technology section’s requirements for repeatable manufacturing is listed as follows:
• A 120° Dual Swivel Head (60° left/60° right) needed to reproduce precise angles
• a 31.5” Material pass height to accommodate various metal stock sizes (0.25”- 2.5”)
• a control panel with a safe distance (min. 3 ft) from cutting head and vise allow personnel a safe distance from blade operation/head movement
• a recirculating coolant system with passive filtration to allow continuous/repetitive cutting of hardened steels and chip clogging; for requests in the past, OSDS and Metals Tech have made parts in quantities of 5-100+
• variable vise pressure allowing accurate clamping force to hold stock or parts without damaging the metal
• digitally displayed angle position for precise cutting alignment. This allows personnel to line up angle and approximate length needed without bringing the cutting blade near fingers when adjusting said parameters
• adjustable saw blade guards to prevent unnecessary blade stick-out
• semi-automatic cycling for cutting multiple same sized pieces without personnel having to feed metal after each cut. This grants faster production times and reduces human error
• Automatic Overload Feed Protection to prevent the blade from snapping during an interrupted cut or improper speed/feed rate
• a Hydraulic Clamping Vise to produce correct pressure on various stock/part sizes and shapes
• hydraulic blade tension to ensure the blade is not over or under tensioned to prevent premature failure of the blade or larger blade kerf
• driven band brush to prevent metal chips from clogging the blade, causing premature failure
• Band drive motor must have a rating of more than 3 horsepower to accommodate hardened steel cutting
• The section has a floor space constriction of 150” width and 65” length, no restriction on height. The machine must fit into these parameters
• Variable band speed must reach over 300fpm to below 80fpm to cut metals such as stainless steel, nickel chrome moly steel, machining steel, tool steel, titanium, Inconel, beryllium copper, brass and aluminum stock.
