Cosen Band Saw Has Smart Control Cosen Saws USA, Charlotte, N.C., offers the Cosen CNC-430, a fully automatic programmable band saw with a 16.9-inch cutting capacity. The enclosed machine features Cosen’s Smart CNC Control, which allows customers to enter the material type, shape and dimension that they wish to cut. Based on this input, the program automatically recommends cutting rates and blade speeds for the most efficient cut. Operators or engineers can easily upload work order data directly from a desktop via USB, which minimizes errors and maximizes operating efficiency. Unique to the CNC-430 is its automatic blade break-in feature. This helps shops better manage blade life based on data for up to 10 different blade types. It also comes equipped with a Save-a-Blade function in which the blade retracts slightly immediately after the cut is complete, thereby increasing blade life. Standard on the CNC-430 are automatic first cut and V_Drive systems. Options include a chip conveyor, blade deviation detector and roller conveyors.
