The S23 is a pivot style, mitering bandsaw . Providing exceptional miter cutting capability for multiple light and medium duty applications.  Based on Hyd-Mech’s popular S20 model, the S23 is solidly built to give you maximum productivity. 

A hydraulic power pack option provides a power assist for head lift and open & closing of the vise.

 

MACHINE CONSTRUCTION & FEATURES

 

The machine base is designed and produced with electro-welded steel components for maximum rigidity and support.

A removable 6 US gallon coolant tank is built into the base.

Leveling bolts are located at corners of the machine.

The machine weighs a sturdy 2,000 lbs and can support a 5,000 lb workload.

A 36” roller infeed table and 27” outfeed table provide ample support for a wide variety of work pieces.

 

The machine carries a 1 1/4” blade, which is driven by a heavy-duty gearbox and 5 HP Variable Frequency Drive controlled motor. The band speed is infinitely variable from 75 to 350 sfm allowing for efficient cutting of many types of material.

 

Blade Wheels - 19” high quality cast iron wheels with heavy-duty wheel & gearbox shaft bearings.

 

Blade Guides - replaceable carbide insert guides housed in two heavy duty cast iron guide arms provide cut accuracy of  + / -   .002” per linear inch of material and excellent vibration dampening.  Both guide arms are easily adjusted for proper guide arm spacing.

 

Powered Blade Brush - driven off the blade drive wheel keeps the blade gullets clean, helping to maximize blade performance and life.

 

Blade Tensioning - mechanical tensioning assembly allowing quick and easy untensioning for blade changing.  Factory preset hardstop for tensioning assembly provides consistent blade tensioning.

 

Vising – heavy-duty sliding and fixed vise jaws with quick locking mechanism that provides tight grip on long or short stock material.

 

Head Swing – accurate and quickly adjusted angle cutting is provided through an easy swing head frame. The easy to read angle scale allows for positioning of the head in 1º increments from 90º to 30º, and a cam lock brake provides reliable locking in the desired position.

 

Coolant System - a centrifugal pump immersed in the 6 US gallon coolant reservoir delivers ample coolant flow through carbide faced and nozzle guides. Flow cocks are present for coolant quantity adjustment.  A wash down hose with spray gun is also mounted at the front of the machine for machine / parts wash down.

 

Electrical System & controls - the electrical control components are housed in a cabinet on top of the head.  The operator manual switches, conveniently located in the front of the cabinet, allow the operator to control blade start & stop functions as well as control head feeding.  The 3 position feed valve provides head hold, head feed, and rapid down function positions.  Cabinet access is clean and quick for easy servicing / minimal downtime.

 

 

MACHINE OPTIONAL FEATURES

 

Worklight - 120V worklight positioned to provide extra lighting over workpiece / cutting area.

 

Blade Breakage Switch – limit switch assembly that is actuated when the blade breaks and will shut the blade drive off.

 

Workstop - adjustable material stop that can be set up to provide a measured position of up to 40” from the blade.

 

Hydraulic Power Pack –1/4 HP hydraulic power pack provides powered head up and powered opening & closing of the vise.

 

Full Capacity Hydraulic Overhead Bundling - hydraulically powered vise arm that clamps down on the material from above.  Its downward (clamping) and upward (unclamping) movement are controlled and timed with the opening and closing of the side vise.  Very effective and necessary for bundle cutting various materials. Can also be effective in dampening of cutting vibration.

 

Mist Lubrication System – air mist system providing blade lubrication and cooling.  Alternative to standard flood system.
