Abstract
A band-saw for sawing metal parts such as bars has a work unit which is capable of displacement in the vertical direction above the workpiece support table. The work unit has two distinct lateral portions located on each side of two vertical guide sleeves and serving as supports for a vertical driving wheel and a vertical guide wheel of the saw-blades, the work run of which is placed horizontally above the location of the workpiece. Two vertical columns forming part of the moving unit are slidably mounted within the two vertical sleeves, the lower ends of which are fixed on the horizontal table. The ends of the vertical columns are rigidly fixed to two horizontal cross-members which are located respectively at the top and at the bottom and which connect together the two lateral portions of the moving work unit so as to form a closed frame.
Claims5
A horizontal band-saw comprising a workpiece-supporting table, a work unit mounted for vertical movement relative to the table, said unit having two lateral portions located on opposite horizontal sides of said table each said portion serving as a support for a respective vertical wheel for driving and guiding an endless saw blade that passes about said wheels, the saw blade having two horizontal runs that extend between said wheels respectively above and below said table, two vertical sleeves fixed to said table, and two vertical columns each of which is slidable vertically in a respective one of said sleeves, said vertical columns having upper and lower ends, said lower ends of said vertical columns being secured to a horizontal crosspiece that interconnects said two portions at the bottom of said unit and said upper ends of said columns being secured to a horizontal crosspiece which interconnects said portions at the top of said unit.
