Description

Product Overview

The HYDMECH S-20A is a fully automatic horizontal band saw designed for efficient production cutting in fabrication and machine shop environments. With a 13″ × 18″ capacity and programmable control system, it delivers consistent, repeatable cuts with minimal operator involvement.

Its compact scissor-style design makes it ideal for shops that need automation without the footprint of larger production machines.

Applications

  • Production cutting environments
  • Machine shops with repeat jobs
  • Structural steel and bar stock cutting
  • Fabrication shops scaling into automation

👉 Built for automated cutting with strong efficiency and low cost per cut

Key Features

  • 13″ × 18″ cutting capacity for medium-sized material
  • Fully automatic operation with PLC programmable control
  • Automatic material indexing system for repeat cuts
  • Variable frequency drive for smooth blade speed control
  • Swing head scissor-style design for compact footprint
  • Miter cutting capability (up to ~60°)
  • Hydraulic downfeed and vise system for material stability
  • Replaceable carbide blade guides for accuracy

Why This Machine Matters

Manual & semi-auto saws:

  • Handling repeat jobs efficiently
  • Reducing labor without over-investing

👉 This is the entry point into real production cutting

When to Use This Saw

  • When running repeat production jobs
  • When cutting medium-size material regularly
  • When upgrading from semi-automatic saws
  • When space is limited but automation is needed
