Olimpus 1

Processing structural material approaching 20 inches in size requires a bandsaw designed for more than conventional shop cutoff work. The FMB Olimpus 1 bandsaw provides a large cutting envelope for substantial metal sections, including structural beams, rectangular tubing, and heavy fabrication stock. Its industrial configuration supports manufacturers preparing oversized components for machinery, structural assemblies, and other applications where material dimensions exceed the capabilities of smaller bandsaws.

 

Olimpus 1 Features: 

  • Semi-automatic operation with hydraulic saw head and clamping
  • Straight-cut structural configuration
  • 20-inch round capacity
  • 18-inch square capacity
  • 10° cant saw head
  • 1-1/2-inch-wide saw blade
  • Variable blade speed from 52 to 394 FPM
  • 5.5 HP saw motor

Description
20-Inch Cutting Capacity for Oversized Stock

The Olimpus 1 is a 20 inch structural bandsaw designed to accommodate large metal sections that exceed the cutting capacity of conventional fabrication equipment. Its expanded cutting envelope provides the clearance required for substantial structural profiles, heavy-wall tubing, and other oversized workpieces. This makes the machine suitable for manufacturers processing large material cross sections as part of equipment construction, structural fabrication, and industrial component production.

Cutting Through Heavy Structural Cross Sections

Large structural members introduce demanding cutting conditions because blade engagement can change considerably throughout the workpiece. Wide flanges, thick material walls, and varying section geometries require careful consideration of blade selection, cutting speed, and feed conditions. The FMB Olimpus 1 bandsaw provides the capacity needed for these applications, allowing operators to establish cutting parameters appropriate to the material and cross-sectional geometry.

Preparing Large Components for Downstream Manufacturing

As a large section cutoff saw, the Olimpus 1 supports the initial material preparation required before welding, machining, and assembly. Cutting oversized stock to the required length is an important step in manufacturing machine frames, structural supports, heavy equipment components, and industrial fabrications. The machine’s substantial cutting envelope allows these larger workpieces to be processed within a dedicated metal sawing operation.
