Sterling STC 440 DGAS CNC Twin-Column Automatic Bandsaw

The Sterling DGAS range of twin column CNC vice feed automatic bandsaws provide unique double mitre capability, offering a production solution for automatic mitre cutting in both small and large sections.

With the addition of a touchscreen CNC control, the CNC system then controls the cutting process entirely throughout the cycle dictating the angle of cut and length of cut to extreme accuracy.

The controller allows:

• Customisable Steps: You can enter up to 10 different steps, each with adjustable length and angle values.
• Program Storage: A total of 30 different programs, each containing 10 steps, can be saved for future use.
• Visual Material Shape: The material shape for the selected step is displayed on the screen.
• Material Width Measurement: The material width is measured via an encoder in the feeder vice. If the measured width differs from the entered value, the machine will not start the cutting process.
• Minimum Cutting Length Calculation: The system automatically calculates the minimum material length that can be cut, based on the entered width and angle values.
• Automatic Angle Selection: When processing the next length, the system automatically selects the length closest to the last angle for optimal cutting.
• Dual Feeder System: For longer materials, the rack and pinion system is used, while the ball screw axis is engaged for shorter materials.
• Z-Axis Monitoring: With the encoder on the Z-axis, the bow position and speed are displayed on the screen, allowing for real-time monitoring.

The DGAS has the capability to be programmed offline for removal of operator error. The servo drive system can reduce the cutting tolerances close to zero error margin.

STC DGAS is ideal for mass production and bundle cutting of solid material, tube and profile.
