Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Bianco AFE PLC Fully-Automatic Right-Hand Vice Bandsaw designed to cut?
The Bianco AFE PLC Fully-Automatic Right-Hand Vice Bandsaw is aimed at repeat-length cutting where reducing scrap length is particularly important. The published range covers 330AFE PLC, 370AFE PLC and 420AFE PLC. Suitability for a particular grade or section should be confirmed against the actual job and model.
What cutting capacity is available on the Bianco AFE PLC Fully-Automatic Right-Hand Vice Bandsaw?
The published range includes 260mm, 280mm and 300mm round tube at 90° respectively. Capacity changes with material shape and, where relevant, mitre angle, so compare the correct model and angle in the Selmach specification table.
How does the automatic cutting cycle work on the Bianco AFE PLC Fully-Automatic Right-Hand Vice Bandsaw?
The machine uses automatic hydraulic vice feed with right-hand vice control and automatic bow-height return. This reduces repeated operator input between cuts, although loading, safe setup, blade selection and checks remain essential.
Can the Bianco AFE PLC Fully-Automatic Right-Hand Vice Bandsaw make mitre cuts?
The listed cutting capacities are for 90° straight cutting, not a published mitre range. Check the product specification for the exact material section and cutting angle before planning production.
Which bandsaw blade is used on the Bianco AFE PLC Fully-Automatic Right-Hand Vice Bandsaw?
The published blade specification is 3010 × 27 × 0.9mm, 3120 × 27 × 0.9mm or 3270 × 27 × 0.9mm by model. Blade tooth pitch and grade should be chosen for the material, wall thickness and cut frequency; Selmach can advise on suitable replacement blades.
What features or options are available for the Bianco AFE PLC Fully-Automatic Right-Hand Vice Bandsaw?
For this range, optional spray mist, chip conveyor, hydraulic bundle cutting and variable clamping pressure. Check which features are standard and which are optional on the quoted model, particularly if coolant management or material handling is important.
What should operators check when maintaining the Bianco AFE PLC Fully-Automatic Right-Hand Vice Bandsaw?
Follow the machine manual and isolate the saw before maintenance. Routine checks should include blade condition and tension, guides, coolant, swarf removal, vice operation and the feed system. A useful specification point is: The published specification gives a 25mm remnant and 800mm carriage stroke. Solid bar above 150mm is recommended for manual mode.
Can Selmach provide a Service Plan for the Bianco AFE PLC Fully-Automatic Right-Hand Vice Bandsaw?
Ask Selmach about a Service Plan and aftersales support for the Bianco AFE PLC Fully-Automatic Right-Hand Vice Bandsaw. The recommended service schedule and any included visits or parts should be confirmed for the exact machine, its age and operating hours rather than assumed from the product page.
