Abstract: Traditionally, in order to avoid interfering with a work-piece such as a round material and an hexagonal material etc., an insert plate used as a saw blade side support of a band saw machine or a circular saw machine is provided at a position apart from the cutting site after passing the maximum cutting width, which results in the bending, vibration and noise of the saw blade, thereby decreasing the life of the saw blade. This problem is solved with two insert plates located at two positions on left and right of a work-piece to support the saw blade in a manner of moving them closing to the work-piece along the external shape of the work-piece from the cutting start and after passing the maximum cutting width by enabling them to move along the external side of the work-piece, therefore, one side of the insert plates takes a tapered shape so as to get into under the work-piece.

Abstract: A bandsaw machine which has a sawhead assembly in which a flexible endless bandsaw blade is trained around a pair of bandsaw blade wheels to cut a workpiece, with the blade being guided by a guide arm, includes a guide member on the guide arm, for holding the bandsaw blade in a vertical orientation by pushing the bandsaw blade from both sides. A rolling member is mounted on the sawhead assembly and is free to push a side surface of the bandsaw blade with a predetermined force so as to prevent vibration of the blade.

Abstract: A storage system for rods including a conveyor device and a crane system. The conveyor device is for feeding a working machine such as a cutting-off machine, and in particular for supplying and discharging rods to and from at least one roller path for feeding the rods into the working machine. The conveyor device includes a receiver device arranged at both sides of the roller path for conveying rods between a handling device of a stock of rods and the roller path, each receiver device having at least one receiver arm which is independently movable substantially vertically. The crane system includes a load crossbeam movable in the vertical direction for transporting a bar material, and load take-up device provided on the load crossbeam. The load crossbeam is subdivided into subcrossbeams which are movable individually.
