PMI UPCUT SAWS PROVIDE FAST, ACCURATE, AND SAFE CUTTING
Pat Mooney Inc.?s PMI Upcut Saws quickly and accurately saw aluminum extrusions with a burr-free mirror finish. The upcut design of the saw blade, where the saw is housed under the worktable and travels up through the work piece, promotes safe operation, as well as easy chip removal and a longer blade life.
PMI Saws are equipped with strong drive systems (5 ? 7.5 hp saw motors) that enable maximum cutting force and chip removal. This additional power also extends the life of the saw blade between regrinds. For extreme precision, PMI Saws include pneumatic clamping systems with adjustable clamping pressure to prevent distortion of thin wall profiles. The top clamp holds the work piece on each side of the saw blade to deliver a burr-free cutoff part. This clamp is controlled by its own cylinder and is adjustable according to the size of the work piece.
The saw blade feed is also pneumatically controlled. Full control of the feed rate results in accurate cuts and a long blade life, while control of the saw blade travel allows for faster cycle times. PMI Saw worktables are precision ground and coated with chromate. This prevents marring on the exterior of the work piece. Additional safety features include a safety machine enclosure that protects the worktable, two-hand cycle start activation and a safety limit switch.
Pat Mooney offers a PMI-18 CD Upcut Saw with a saw blade size of 18 in x 1 in bore and a table size of 26-1/3 in x 26 in, and a PMI-20 Upcut Saw with a saw blade size of 20 in x 1 in bore and a table size of 35-5/8 in x 35-5/8 in. The PMI-20 features a turntable that allows the set up of any mitre cut in seconds. A positive lock of the table is released and then built-in handles allow for easy turning of the saw blade approach. Several positive stops via the locking pin enable rapid and accurate set up of the angle to be cut.
