SC (Column): The SC saws are highly versatile, guillotine-style machines designed to provide exceptional straight cutting capability in multi-shift, high production environments. Applications include the cutting of steel, aluminum, and alloys.

SVT (Vertical Transversal): Vertical band saw machine allows the cross cutting of plates, sheets, blocks and structural steel. Applications include tool steel and alloys.

SVL Plate Saw (Vertical Longitudinal): Vertical plate saw allows the longitudinal cutting of plates, sheets, and blocks. Applications include tool steel, aluminum, alloys, stainless steel sheets, and plates.

SVC Plate Saw (Vertical Combined): A combined vertical band saw machine allows for cross and longitudinal cutting, combining the characteristics of the SVT and SVL band saw machines.

Gantry: Horizontal band saw machine with mobile head to cut heavy blocks and round pieces. Gantry machines are designed for vertical, horizontal and angled cuts without repositioning the material. Applications include tool steel, ingots, and mold steel.

Soitaab band saw have cutting capacities that range up to 120° Machines are available in semi-automatic, automatic and super automatic models. Semi-automatic, automatic and super automatic models. Semi-automatic and super automatic machines make a series of cuts or different cuts of the same block of material. All lines offer options that will address all your cutting needs.

Horizontal band saw machine suitable for cutting round, squares, and rectangles. Applications include steel, aluminum, and alloys. Models available include: SC1050, SC1250, SC1500 and come in semi-automatic and super automatic modes.

The SC machines are versatile cutting systems, that provide the following features: Hydraulic band tension, welded steel head, cast iron band wheels, and guide arms. The head travels via ball screws and is actuated by a vector motor. The band speed is electronically adjusstable.

The PLC can program up to 400 cutting subroutines, includeing the parameters for blade speed feed rate, and cutting pressure. The depth of cut is also adjustable.

The vises operate on linear bearings that open and close by ball screw and vector motors.

Hydraulics control the blade tension and guide arms.

This vertical band saw machine allows the cross cutting of plates, sheets, blocks, and structural steel.

Models available include: SVY1250, SVTC1500, SVT2000, SVT2500, and come in semi-automatic and super automatic modes.

The super automatic machine has shuttle vice that allows programming of a series of different cuts.

The SVT machine head contains the three cast iron band wheels driven by a vector motor.

The PLC can program up to 400 cutting subroutines, including the parameters for blade speed, feed rate, and cutting pressure. The depth of cuts is also adjustable.

The vises operate on linear bearings that open and close by ball screws and vector motors.

Hydraulic control the blade tension and guide arms

The head movement is made on ball screws and actuated by a vector motor.

This vertical band saw machine allows the longitudinal (length wise) cutting of plates, sheets and blocks. Applications include tool steel, aluminum and alloys, stainless steel sheets and plates.

Models available include: SVL3000, SVL4000, SVL6300, SVL8300 and come in semi-automatic and super automatic modes. The super automatic machine has a shuttle vise to hold the material. The operator then has the ability to make a series of parallel cuts automatically.

The head movement is made on ball screws and is actuated by a vector motor.

The SVL machine arch contains the three cast iron band wheels driven by a vector motor. The head feeding is made on ball screws and is actuated by a vector motor.

A hydraulic power pack controls band tension and power guide arm.

The PLC can program up to 400 cutting subroutines, including the parameters for blade speed, feed rate, and cutting pressure. The depth of cut is also adjustable.

The vises operate on linear bearings with vector motors. They open and close with hydraulic cylinder.

A combined vertical band saw machines allows for cross and longitudinal cutting, combining the characteristics of the SVT and SVL band saw machines. Models available include: SVC6300, SVC8300 and come in super automatic mode.

These machines have a rotating blade guide that enables both transversal and longitudinal cutting, without repositioning the material.

This vertical machine with parallel arch gives the operator the ability to cut in two directions without moving the material. The SVC machine head contains the three cast iron band wheels driven by a vector motor. The arch feeding is made on ball screws and is actuated by a vector motor.

The PLC can program up to 400 cutting subroutines, including the parameters for blade speed, feed rate, and cutting pressure. The depth of cut is also adjustable.

Hydraulic power packs control band tension and power guide arm.

The vises operate on linear bearings with vector motors. They open and close with a hydraulic cylinder.

Horizontal band saw machine with mobile head to cut heavy blocks and round pieces. Gantry machines are designed for vertical, horizontal and angled cuts without repositioning the material. Applications include tool steel, light alloys, ingots, and mold steel.

Models available include: Gantry 1250, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000 and come in semi-automatic and super automatic modes.
