Double Mitre Cutting SawSW 553/553-R Argus

SW 553/SW 553 - R Argus Double Mitre Saw – High Performance Cutting with NC Precision

The SW 553/SW 553 - R Argus double mitre saw is designed for precise, efficient, and reliable cutting of large profiles. Featuring one NC axis for accurate length positioning and pneumatic outward tilting of the saw blades, the machine delivers high cutting performance combined with excellent repeatability for professional production environments.

Rigid Machine Bed for Maximum Stability

The machine bed is built as a torsion - free welded steel construction and equipped with round guideways in the longitudinal direction. This robust design ensures smooth operation, high rigidity, and consistently accurate cutting results even under heavy - duty use.

Powerful Saw Units for Large Profiles

The saw units are driven by a 3.0 kW motor (400 V/50 Hz) and achieve a cutting speed of 73 m/s. The saw feed is linear from back to front and hydropneumatically controlled, with a manually adjustable, infinitely variable feed rate.

The saw stroke length is manually adjustable and automatically controls the return stroke. Pneumatic outward swiveling allows preset angles of 90°, 45°, and 22.5° against fixed stops, while intermediate angles can be adjusted manually for maximum flexibility.

The machine is supplied as standard with two carbide circular saw blades Ø 550 × 30 mm, Z 140. Each saw unit includes a chip extraction port Ø 80 mm and pneumatic safety guards.

Moving Roller Conveyor for Optimal Profile Handling

A 2.4 m moving roller conveyor, mounted on the right saw head, ensures reliable support of long and heavy profiles. A horizontal clamping cylinder securely fixes the workpiece during cutting.

Precise NC Length Positioning

The left saw unit is fixed on the machine base, while the right unit is motor - driven and movable.

Positioning accuracy: ± 0.15 mm

Maximum traverse speed: 22.5 m/min

The NC length positioning automatically compensates for saw angles and profile height, ensuring precise results for straight and mitre cuts.

Automatic Profile Height Measurement

Automatic profile height measurement with longitudinal compensation guarantees consistent accuracy across varying profile dimensions.

Reliable Clamping System

Each saw head is equipped with one horizontal and one vertical pneumatic clamping cylinder. In the event of a pressure drop, the horizontal clamps remain engaged, ensuring maximum operational safety.

Optimized Material Support

A pneumatically swiveling material support positioned between the saw heads improves stability and handling during the cutting process.

Safe and Ergonomic Two - Hand Operation

The machine is operated via a two - hand control system. The profile is clamped by pressing one button; pressing the second button within 1.5 seconds initiates the cutting cycle. Releasing either button immediately retracts the saw blade, ensuring maximum operator safety.

Modern Control System and Advanced Software

Control is handled by an industrial PC with Windows Embedded and a 10” HMI touchscreen. The powerful software supports:

Single - cut processing

Cut list processing and management

Creation of cut lists via keyboard

Import of cut lists via USB or network

Automatic corner angle calculation and incremental cutting

Overlength cuts

Short cuts from 5 mm cutting length

Trim cuts

Management and printing of labels with data or barcodes
