Abstract
A double-saw band saw machine includes a base, a first band saw unit, a second band saw unit, a feeding unit and a clamp unit. When an object to be sawn is located in a sawing area between the first and second band saw units, the first and second motors control the first and second frames to move toward each other along the first axial direction, so that the first and second band saw blades can be used to cut the object to be sawn simultaneously. Hence, the sawing efficiency of the double-saw band saw machine is improved, and the replacement interval for the first and second band saw blades is extended.

A double-saw band saw machine comprising:
- a base including a frame seat located in a first axial direction, a feeding seat which is located in a second axial direction perpendicular to the first axial direction and disposed at one side of the frame seat, and a clamp seat which is located in the second axial direction and disposed at another side of the frame seat;
- a first band saw unit disposed on the frame seat and movable along the first axial direction and including a first frame slidably mounted on the frame-seat slide rails, two first rotating wheels mounted on the first frame, and a first band saw blade wound around the two first rotating wheels;
- a second band saw unit being mounted on the first frame seat and movable along the first axial direction to move toward or away from the first band saw unit, the second band saw unit including a second frame slidably mounted on the frame-seat slide rails, two second rotating wheels mounted on the second frame, and a second band saw blade wound around the two second rotating wheels;
- a feeding unit rotatably mounted on the feeding seat and movable along the second axial direction;
- and
- a clamp unit disposed on the clamp seat and movable along the second axial direction.
A method for sawing an object by using the double-saw band saw machine as claimed in claim comprising the following continuous steps:
- using the feeding unit to rotate the object and drive the object to move along the second axial direction toward the clamp unit;
- measuring the inner and outer diameters of the object to be sawn, then putting the object on the clamp unit;
- releasing the object from the feeding unit, and moving the feeding unit out of the cutting area between the first and second band saw units;
- and
- moving the clamp unit toward the feeding unit along the second axial direction to make the object stay in the cutting area between the first and second band saw units, then making the first and second band saw units move toward and away from each other by moving along the first axial direction, so as to saw the object.
