KBS DG Bandsaw for Structural Steel KBS DG Bandsaw for Structural Steel

The Kaltenbach KBS DG range of heavy duty band saw machines combine an extended miter range - 45 both ways and down to 30 one way - with large material capacity, particularly at acute miter angles. Flexibility is the key: these machines are true all-rounders incorporating the latest innovations in machine tool technology: frequency-regulated motors; portal column design; linear bearings throughout. A full range of ancillary handling/measuring equipment is available to tailor the KBS machine to your specific requirements. Primary applications include: structural fabricators, OEMs, and wherever larger framework is called for.  Kaltenbach’s Separate Torque Suspension System creates dynamic independence of the bandwheel tension and main motor gearbox, ensuring low vibration and longer service life.   Standard equipment includes:
