New from Pat Mooney Inc. - The Saw Company, the Nishijimax NHC- 100ND Cutoff System features an exclusive patent-pending remnant reduction device designed to greatly reduce the amount of the remnant in auto cycle. When the amount of incoming bar is less than 90 mm + cut length, the NHC-100ND automatically shifts the length setting device to an NC controlled gripper vise on the out feed side of the saw blade. This device will grip the bar end from the out feed side of the saw blade and continue until the final bar end is 30 mm. This process is automatic. The NHC-100ND will continue to cycle as long as bars remain on the table or until a pre-determined number of cuts are made. “Pat Mooney Inc. exclusively offers the Nishijimax Systems that can cut more parts per hour and more parts per blade than a standard production saw.Asingle Nishijimax CNC Carbide Cutoff System can replace three to four production saws,” said a company spokesperson. A 15.5 HP induction motor drives the saw blade spindle via reduction gearbox. The RPMo utput of the gearbox is controlled by a FREQROL inverter drive. This system is designed to provide precision torque control, with constant torque maintained throughout the RPM range. This is especially important when sawing throughmaterials at high sawing rates. The NHC-100ND’s precise feed rate is set automatically, and input chip load is maintained through Nishijimax’s exclusive NC Saw Spindle Feed Axis. The saw blade feed rate is controlled via an AC servo motor with encoder, a Mitsubishi programmable servo drive and a precision ball screw. Compared to hydraulic systems, there is no fluctuation for temperature or condition of the oil, and job set up takes less than five minutes with the CNC controller, said the company. Other features of the NHC-100ND include Nishijimax’s original powder metal saw blade brake designed for zero vibration when the blade enters the cut. Agearbox oil chiller maintains constant gearbox temperature throughout 24/7 operation, thereby extending the life of the gearbox and the saw blades. NHC-100ND saw blade lubrication is supplied via air to the cutting edge of the blade with a precision-metered system. No flood coolant is used. The lubricant is used during the sawing of the material. The material clamping system is a hydraulic 4- point system with both horizontal and vertical clamps. Proximity switches monitor all clamping functions. Clamping pressure is adjustable. The saw blade housing is mounted to the NHC-100ND saw head. The housing contains the saw blade. The saw blade is guided into the workpiece with ceramic guides. These guides provide 6- point contact to help eliminate blade wobble or deflection during sawing. TA-4 and ST-4 Kanefusa blades are available from Pat Mooney for usewith Nishijimax Systems. “These high-performance saw blades allow material to be cut faster and with much less material loss due to kerf,” said the spokesperson. “The tooth design allows every tooth to remove an entire chip.” Pat Mooney is the exclusive importer and sales/service agent for Nishijimax Cutoff Systems.Alongwith Nishijimax, Pat Mooney’s line includes a complete range of Danobat saw systems, FMB band Saws, PMI precision upcut cold saws for aluminumprofiles, manual cold saws, Kanefusa saw blades and cold saw blades.
