The FMB Athena H34A is a fully automatic enclosed dual-column bandsaw for high-production cutting with a 14-inch round capacity, 20-inch material indexing stroke, and SMARTCUT process support. A.W. Miller Technical Sales supports manufacturers throughout New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Southern New Jersey, and Quebec with applications engineering, installation, training, and service support.
Two-column guidance, polymer-concrete vibration damping, ballscrew material indexing with encoder feedback, servo-valve feed control, a material table for recommended cutting conditions, and scrap-minimization technology give the H34A a process-control focus beyond basic automatic sawing.
Applications commonly evaluated for the Athena H34A include:
Stored cutting programs and recommended cutting data help standardize setup across changing materials and jobs.
The dual-column structure uses damping material to reduce vibration transmitted through the saw structure.
Ballscrew indexing with encoder feedback supports repeatable material positioning for cut-length production.
The enclosed design helps contain chips and coolant during automated production cycles.
The published capacities include 14-inch round, 14-by-14-inch square, and 14-by-18-inch rectangular stock at 0 degrees.
FMB’s SMARTCUT system stores programs and supports cutting-condition selection so operators can recall established jobs rather than rebuilding the setup from scratch.
A ballscrew with encoder controls the 20-inch indexing stroke, providing controlled stock positioning during automatic cycles.
The material is used for vibration absorption, helping isolate the cutting process and support stable saw-head movement.
