Sandmeyer Steel Co., a manufacturer of duplex stainless steel plate products, has recently added a new bandsaw to its fully-integrated Bandsaw Cutting Center. It features a fully automated cutting head and plate feed, assuring the accuracy and repeatability of every cut. The center is designed to process large full-size plates as well as cut narrow bars, which can be stripped from plate to supply non-standard sizes and material types. Bandsaw cutting provides a better edge quality than plasma cutting and virtually eliminates taper and out-of square edges. It also does not have a heat-affected zone.
