Multiply Workshop Efficiency With Automatic Metal Cutting Machines
Increase the efficiency of your high-volume industrial workshop with automatic metal-cutting, bevelling and drilling machines. These advanced models save time and improve accuracy and safety.
Here are the top 8 automatic and semi-automatic machines that can take your workshop’s productivity to the next level.
Automatic Bandsaws
Auto and semi-auto bandsaws offer a range of features that make them ideal for high-volume production.
MACC Semi-Auto Bandsaw
MACC semi-automatic bandsaws, like the Special 411 MS, take productivity to the next level by automating essential elements of the cutting process. After setting the desired feed rate, blade speed and material position, these machines handle the rest.
MACC semi-auto bandsaws come in a variety of sizes and capacities, but they all follow the same automated process:
- The operator inserts the material
- The operator presses the start button
- The material is clamped in the vice
- The blade motor starts
- The bow lowers and cuts the material
- The blade motor stops
- The bow rises and the vice opens
MACC Special 702 GA
If you’re looking for a semi-auto bandsaw with a large cutting capacity, the MACC Special 702-GA has the largest at 550mm while other semi-automatic models have peak cutting capacity between 260mm and 460mm.
This model has an added automatic swivelling feature that sets the angle after pressing the start button.
The MACC 700DI semi-auto large capacity machine offers the same functions and capacity at the 702GA, but the swivel head is performed manually by the operator. This machine is a standard stocked machine by MACC Australia in the Brisbane showroom, and is available for testing and demonstration.
MACC 391 AVG Fully Auto Bandsaw
The best machine you will find for high-capacity metal cutting work—this CNC-controlled machine provides hands-off control over quality and cut length while freeing up operators to handle other tasks simultaneously.
The MACC 11” Fully Auto Swivel Head Bandsaw lets you set and forget, allowing your workers to get on with other jobs while the machine does the cutting for you.
Optional configurations can also be added to this model including a fully guarded version for extra safety, as well as a single or double vertical vice for bundle cutting. This machine also features a 10” touch screen control panel which is extremely easy to use. Cutting operations can also be entered into the MACC computer software and then sent to the machine.
Semi-automatic coldsaws
Semi-automatic coldsaws are perfect for large production runs, as they minimise machine interference. With these machines, you only need to set up the machine for the right cut, and then they do all the work for you.
MACC Semi-Auto Swivel Head Coldsaw
MACC semi-auto coldsaws, like the NEW 350 S handle all the key elements of the cutting process automatically, such as closing and opening of the vice, starting and stopping of the blade motor and downstroke and return of the cutting head.
This means you can focus on other important tasks without constantly monitoring the machine's operation. Due to the hydraulic operated strong and controlled downforce of the cutting head through the material, semi-auto coldsaws are also much faster at cutting than manual machines.
MACC Semi-Auto Vertical Coldsaw
If you're looking for a more rigid option with superior finish quality, consider the MACC Semi-Auto Vertical Coldsaw. These machines offer decreased chatter levels and consistently produce high-quality cuts.
The 315mm model even features an adjustable material stop and electrical recirculating coolant system for enhanced efficiency.
Automatic plate bevelling machines
Auto bevelling machines streamline the bevelling process by automating feed movement while maintaining accuracy—increasing efficiency and productivity in your workshop.
ITM ABM 30 Auto-Feed Portable Bevelling Machine
The ABM 30 automatically glides across steel plates, needing no track to travel in both directions. It can create a double-sided bevel, eliminating the need to turn the plate over.
Specs:
- Bevel width: up to 30mm
- Bevel angle: -70° to +70°
- Max. plate thickness: up to 60mm
ITM ABM 50 Auto-Feed Double-Sided Beveler
The ABM 50 has all the features of the ABM 30 with an added digital control panel, and much larger bevelling capacity. The operator can adjust exact bevel geometry and cutting parameters electronically.
Specs:
- Bevel width: up to 50 mm
- Bevel angle: 15–60°
- Plate thickness: 8–80mm
Auto-feed magnetic base drilling machines
Holemaker PRO 35 AUTO
