Description
Automatic Bar Stock Cutting for Machining Operations

The PMI Panther H-360A is an automatic bar stock bandsaw designed to prepare raw material for subsequent manufacturing processes. Automatic cutting reduces the repetitive operator involvement associated with producing multiple blanks from the same stock. This is particularly valuable for machine shops processing recurring part quantities, where consistent cutoff lengths help establish predictable material allowances for downstream CNC operations.

15-Inch Cutting Capacity for Larger Material Blanks

With cutting capacity approaching 15 inches, the H-360A accommodates substantial round stock and other industrial metal sections. As a 15 inch automatic bandsaw, it provides manufacturers with a dedicated cutting solution for workpieces that exceed the capacity of smaller shop equipment. The larger cutting envelope supports material preparation for turned components, machined parts, and other applications requiring substantial starting stock.

Dual-Column Guidance for Consistent Saw-Head Movement

The H-360A incorporates a dual-column structure that supports the saw head during its cutting stroke. This arrangement provides guided movement through the workpiece, helping maintain stability as the blade encounters changing material cross sections. As a production dual column bandsaw, the machine is configured for repeated cutoff operations where saw-head rigidity and controlled blade advancement are important to the cutting process.
