Repeatable cutoff production requires accurate material positioning as well as a stable cutting process. The PMI Panther H-400S incorporates servo-controlled automation into a dual-column bandsaw platform designed for metal stock up to 16 inches in diameter. By combining controlled material advancement with automatic cutting operation, the H-400S supports consistent cut lengths across repeated production cycles. Its configuration is suited to manufacturers preparing bar stock and other metal sections for CNC machining and downstream manufacturing processes.
PMI Panther H-400S Features:
The PMI Panther H-400S uses servo-controlled positioning to manage material advancement during automatic cutting operations. Precise stock movement is particularly important when producing multiple components to the same length, where positioning variation can affect downstream machining allowances and material utilization. As a servo controlled automatic bandsaw, the H-400S supports programmed cutoff operations with controlled material indexing between cuts.
The H-400S features a dual-column saw-head configuration designed to support stable blade movement through larger metal cross sections. Its 16-inch cutting capacity accommodates substantial round stock and other industrial materials requiring a rigid cutting platform. The 16 inch dual column bandsaw construction helps maintain saw-head alignment during the cutting stroke, providing mechanical stability for demanding cutoff applications.
Preparing consistent raw material blanks is an important first step in many CNC machining operations. The H-400S functions as an automatic production bandsaw for manufacturers processing repeated cutoff lengths from bar stock and other metal sections. Servo-controlled indexing and automatic cutting allow successive workpieces to be prepared with reduced manual repositioning, supporting efficient material preparation for turning, milling, and other secondary operations.

The PMI Panther H-400S is intended for manufacturers running 16-inch round automatic production. Its NC-controlled fully automatic production bandsaw format determines how material is positioned, secured, and processed.
The Panther H-400S is an NC-controlled fully automatic dual-column bandsaw with 16-inch round capacity, servo ballscrew feed control, hydraulic split front vise, variable blade speed, and automatic chip handling. The correct configuration is determined by the full part range: material, oriented cross-section, length, angle or feature access, tolerance, batch size, tooling, coolant, and handling requirements.

The Panther H-400S is an NC-controlled fully automatic dual-column bandsaw with 16-inch round capacity, servo ballscrew feed control, hydraulic split front vise, variable blade speed, and automatic chip handling.
The indexing system advances stock to the programmed cutoff position for each cycle.
Blade speed, feed, vise pressure, and material data are established around the actual section being processed.
Stored jobs reduce repeated data entry when the same component returns to the schedule.
The automatic dual-column saw is specified for round stock up to 16 inches.
A servo-controlled ballscrew manages feed rate, with the target value entered through the touchscreen.
The hydraulic split vise supports the material close to the blade on both sides of the cut.
An automatic chip conveyor removes accumulated swarf from the cutting area during extended batches.
