Abstract
A feed vise is configured to position a work material on a pass line. A band saw blade has zero twisting, and is configured to cut the work material into a length smaller than a diameter of a driving wheel. A product discharge vise has product discharge vise jaws. The product discharge vise jaws clamp the work material, and the band saw blade is configured to be lowered and cut the work material. After the cutting is completed, the product discharge vise is configured to discharge a product, which is obtained by cutting the work material, below the pass line, while the product discharge vise clamps the product.
Claims17
A band saw machine comprising:
- a feed vise configured to position a work material on a pass line, the work material being carried in from an upstream side to a downstream side:
- a band saw blade, which is wound around a pair of wheels and rotates and travels without being twisted, configured to cut the work material, which is positioned by the feed vice, into a length smaller than a diameter of the wheels, by lowering from above the pass line;
- and
- a product discharge vise that has a vise jaw for clamping the work material, configured to, clamp the work material on a downstream side of a cutting position of the work material before the work material is completely cut by the band saw blade, continue clamping the work material after the cutting, be lowered while clamping a product obtained by cutting the work material, and discharge the product below the pass line.
A control method of a band saw machine, comprising:
- positioning a work material on a pass line by a feed vise, the work material being carried in from an upstream side to a downstream side;
- cutting the work material by lowering a band saw blade from above the pass line, which is wound around a pair of wheels and rotates and travels without being twisted, into a length smaller than a diameter of the wheels, the work material being positioned in the positioning;
- clamping the work material on a downstream side of a cutting position by a product discharge vise that clamps the work material, before cutting of the work material is completed;
- and
- discharging a product, which is obtained by cutting the work material in the cutting, below the pass line, while the product discharge vise clamps the product.
