Zero-waste machining: AP 81.57 TC 3

BTM presents the AP 8.5 TC automatic head-to-tail bandsaw, a solution designed for zero-waste machining and complete material optimization. The machine is developed for high productivity industrial applications, where precision, continuity and waste reduction are key elements.

It is an automatic bandsaw and it features an inclined arc, which allows for a more precise and accurate machining of materials, even when used for long periods of time.

Thanks to head-to-tail technology, the bar can be fully exploited, improving the efficiency of the production process and significantly reducing residual material.

Head-to-tail technology for zero-waste machining

The AP 8.5 TC zero-waste bandsaw is designed for breaking down bar residue, thanks to a system that allows both ends of the material to be machined.

This approach allows to maximize the use of the raw material, reducing waste and optimizing production costs. The automatic cutting cycle ensures operational continuity and reduces operator intervention.

Intelligent material management makes the machine ideal for repetitive, high-volume production.
