MEBAmat 435

This is the new MEBAmat with performance package

• New carbide-compatible automatic saw for even larger dimensions
• Impressive performance package
• Measurable savings in terms of material, time and costs/cutting

The world’s leading metalworking trade fair EMO in Hanover once again proved to be the “place to be” this year if you don’t want to miss out on the trends and new products in the industry. The new MEBAmat 435 became a magnet for visitors to the stand of metal band saw specialist MEBA. The live experience of the new MEBAmat 435 hard metal-compatible automatic sawing machine with performance package and thin-cutting technology generated enthusiasm and reinforced the very clear message: More savings are not possible. The MEBAmat product family stands for networked, automated powerhouses for continuous use in single or multi-shift operation and fast, precise cutting. Whether soft or extremely hard material: only one machine is needed for the different sawing tasks. The new MEBAmat 435 has now been further developed on the basis of this successful platform. Even the standard version comes with even larger dimensions. The cutting values have been further optimized. This enables the high-performance machine to process even larger parts even faster with the usual reliability.

MEBAmat 435 with performance package and thin-cutting technology

If the user opts for the new machine with performance package and thin-cutting technology, the savings increase exponentially. The machine saws faster, has a higher cutting capacity, saves material and produces less waste, i.e. fewer chips. The reduction in cutting time creates additional sawing capacity. If we assume a material of around Ø 300 mm and a 42 CrMo heat-treated steel, the cutting time is just 1.37 minutes, which corresponds to a cutting speed of 350 meters per minute and a feed speed of 219 millimeters per minute. The MEBAmat 435 with performance package has a thinner cutting channel and powers through with a saw blade drive power of 15 kw. A HM Premium thin-cutting band saw blade is used for this. In comparison, standard saws without this thin-cutting technology achieve a cutting speed of 55 m/min, a feed speed of 24 mm/min and require a sawing time of more than 12 minutes.

Consistent power and speed using round material as an example

Figuratively speaking, the sawing process of round material normally takes place in such a way that the saw blade has little cutting surface at the upper edge and therefore initially runs through the material somewhat faster. If the saw blade enters the widest point in the middle, the sawing speed slows down due to the increased resistance or the wider cutting surface. With the MEBAmat 435 and performance package, the saw blade glides consistently through the material at the same speed. This also makes the cut extremely fast.

Proven savings

Very clear calculations and live tests on the new MEBAmat show: More savings are not possible. Despite the fact that the MEBAmat 435 with performance package means a higher initial investment, the maintenance costs are higher than for the standard machine and that the high-quality saw bands have to be replaced more frequently, the overall savings are enormous. When sawing with this technology, we are talking about a significantly higher utilization rate due to up to 80% shorter sawing time, 9 times more cutting performance and a real saving of 5 euros per cut, measured against the real sawing example mentioned.
