Olimpus 1 XL

Structural beams and fabricated sections approaching 40 inches in width require cutting equipment with sufficient clearance to accommodate the entire workpiece. The FMB Olimpus 1 XL bandsaw is designed for these demanding applications, providing an extra-wide cutting envelope for large structural profiles, rectangular tubing, and heavy fabrication stock. Its configuration supports industrial manufacturers processing substantial material widths where conventional bandsaws cannot provide the necessary cutting clearance.

 

Olimpus 1 XL Features: 

  • Semi-automatic operation with hydraulic saw head and clamping
  • Straight-cut structural configuration
  • 20-inch round capacity
  • 40-1/2-inch maximum width capacity
  • 10° cant saw head
  • Hydraulic blade tensioning
  • 1-1/2-inch-wide saw blade
  • 5.5 HP saw motor

Description
40-Inch Cutting Width for Large Structural Sections

The Olimpus 1 XL is a 40 inch wide structural saw developed for applications involving exceptionally broad metal profiles. Large beams, rectangular tubing, and fabricated sections often exceed the horizontal cutting capacity of standard industrial bandsaws. The extended cutting envelope accommodates these wider workpieces, providing manufacturers with a dedicated solution for processing structural material that would otherwise require alternative cutting methods or additional material preparation.

Accommodate Wide and Irregular Material Geometries

Overall workpiece width is only one consideration when cutting oversized structural material. Flanges, hollow sections, and fabricated profiles can introduce variations in blade engagement and workholding requirements throughout the cutting stroke. The FMB Olimpus 1 XL bandsaw provides the clearance needed for these challenging geometries, allowing operators to select appropriate cutting conditions based on material thickness, cross-sectional shape, and the requirements of the finished component.

Straight Cutoff Preparation for Heavy Fabrication

As an extra wide cutoff bandsaw, the Olimpus 1 XL is suited to preparing large structural members for subsequent machining, welding, and assembly operations. Its expanded cutting width supports material preparation for heavy equipment frames, industrial machinery structures, and substantial fabricated assemblies. This capability is particularly valuable when processing components whose dimensions make conventional sawing equipment impractical.
