HE&M Saw ’s Material Handling
System is a system that offers a full range of material handling
capabilities. These systems are powerful, rugged tools handling heavy
structural material, all controlled by the operator from a conveniently
located console. This system can be utilized with various HE&M Saw
models (V120 and up, H130 Horizontal Pivot and up, all Dual-Column saws,
and all Wide Flange saws).
An increase in production and the ability to handle big
loads efficiently are the key points of this handling system. Without a
handling system, materials have to be held with the use of cranes and/or
fork lifts and the personnel to operate them in order to enter material
into the saw. This is time consuming because material handling time can
sometimes exceed cutting time. The HE&M Saw Material Handling System
uses a cross transfer truck system to hold the material until it is
ready to be fed into the saw. Each truck can hold up to 5,000 lbs. From
there the material can be positioned onto tables. Hydraulically powered
rollers move the material into the saw. While the material is being cut,
the next piece of material can be loaded onto the cross transfer trucks.
HE&M Saw ’s Material Handling System has a modular
design that provides convenient walk-through areas. This is one of the
major differences between HE&M Saw's system and other systems. This
feature allows the operator to walk between sections of the tables for
ease of monitoring the material, saving valuable time.
The saw has bi-directional vises and top clamps
that allow bundled and imperfect material to pass. The discharge vise is
capable of going under
the blade to grab the last cut part. The chip conveyor is designed to
handle trim cut ends that are less than 10 " long and drop them into a
chip bin, separated from coolant. The entire system is coolant panned
allowing the system to capture coolant, avoiding spills and overflow
which is unsightly, dangerous, and environmentally unsound. Once the
material is on the discharge side it then can be moved to a cross
transfer truck system ready for shipping. Saving time and increasing the
production rate, HE&M Saw ’s Material Handling System is definitely a
cost saving addition for a growing business.
