Amada PCSAW530X/AX Automatic Pulse Cutting Bandsawing Machine
Automated Bandsaws With Pulse-Cutting Technology for High-Speed Cutting
Band saws with pulse cutting technology have been designed for economical use under toughest production conditions. For Users who demand the highest demands on cutting performance and quality, based on decades of experience, the optimum approach between tool and machine was developed.
The pulsation moves the saw up and down rapidly, generating a wave-like motion that has a positive effect on the cutting behaviour of the sawteeth, therefore reduces the cutting resistance and guides to increased blade lifetime.
The pulse cutting technology developed by AMADA has revolutionised band sawing like no other process. Predefined loading and unloading of the band saw blade in the feed direction generates a wave-like up-and-down motion of the saw band that has a positive effect on the sawing process.
The main advantages are:
- low cutting resistance
- more effective tooth contact
- low thermal load due to shorter chipping and improved cooling action of the cooling lubricant
- larger band saw blade service life
Basically, it is possible to use either carbide tipped or bimetal bandsaw blades in the metal distribution. The corresponding sawing parameters for more than 200 materials are stored in the CNC controller for both band types. If special materials such as Hastelloy or Inconel are sawed, the AX version is recommended where saw feeding takes place via a precision, servo-electric ball screw drive. In contrast, the PCSAW 530 X model operates with the proven servo-hydraulic AMADA saw feed.
Features
- 3D Automatic Adjusting Wire Brush
- Blade Deviation Monitor

- Cutting Feed Controlled by Servo Motor(530AX)
- Cutting Feed Controlled by Hydraulic Pressure-Flow Control Valve(530X)
- Cutting Fluid Level Detector
- Motion Detector
- Large Area Chip Conveyor
- Windows Based CNC Controls
Because of the larger quantities of saw chips resulting from the enormous cutting performance, AMADA paid special attention to perfect chip removal with the PCSAW 530.
On the one side, the a new „3D double wire brush unit“. Two automatically adjusting wire brushes ensure very effective brush-off of the saw chips.
The subsequent, smooth removal of the chips is taken over by an extensively dimensioned scraper conveyor.
The new AMADA solution for manual sawing of small remnants which allows shorter material lengths to be inserted from the front of the machine is particularly interesting for many users.
After entering the desired cutting length into the CNC controller, a robust stopping plate fixed to the feeding vice is positioned to the corresponding cutting length, against which the material to be sawed can be pushed. The otherwise essential and timeconsuming measuring of the material is no longer necessary.
A large number of innovative ideas were realised during conception of the new PCSAW 530 model for maintenance and process monitoring
- Cooling lubricant level monitor
- Tool-free chip filter removal
- Cutting accuracy monitor
User-Friendly CNC Machine Controller
- Interactive menu control
- Integrated material database for bimetal and carbide tipped band saw blades
Servo-Electric Ball Screw Drive
- Exact feed control
- Constant feeding speed
3D Double Wire Brush
The two automatically adjusting wire brushes of the new "3D double-brush unit" guarantee thorough brushing of the sawed chips, automatic positioning of the brushes, wear monitoring and wear indication on the screen.
Wide Scraper Conveyor
- Conveyor width = 520 mm
- Extensively dimensioned
- Situated completely under the saw band line
- Smooth chip removal
Stop Plate for Remaining Pieces
- Easy manual sawing up of remnants
- minimum length 35 mm
