The PILOUS System NC range consists of NC-controlled roller conveyors, measuring systems and material feeding devices designed to improve the performance of manual and semi-automatic PILOUS bandsaws. By enabling quick stop repositioning, accurate length setting and faster material feeding, System NC helps workshops reduce handling time, improve cutting accuracy and increase productivity.
Overview
The PILOUS System NC range includes roller conveyors with NC control, designed to significantly expand the capabilities of manual and semi-automatic PILOUS bandsaws. These systems improve material handling, length setting and feeding accuracy, making them a practical upgrade for workshops that require faster, more precise and more repeatable cutting preparation.
The latest generation of NC measuring systems and feeding devices allows the operator to reposition the material stop quickly and accurately to the required length directly from the saw operator’s position. Compared with manual stop systems, this significantly reduces handling time and helps create a smoother cutting workflow.
The NC feed device / material pusher can move cut material under the saw band accurately and much faster than standard automatic bandsaws. A key advantage is the ability to perform one-time feeding of lengths exceeding 500 mm, improving efficiency when preparing repeated cuts or longer material sections.
The main advantage of System NC is the upgrade from manual measuring and stop positioning to NC-controlled length setting. This allows the operator to set the required cutting length more quickly, more accurately and with less physical handling of the material. In production environments where repeated cuts are required, this can reduce non-cutting time and improve overall saw utilisation.
The NC-controlled stop systems are especially useful when working with manual or semi-automatic bandsaws. They allow these machines to perform with higher efficiency and better repeatability, without requiring a full CNC automatic saw. This makes System NC a cost-effective way to modernise an existing cutting workstation.
The NC feed device / material pusher adds another level of productivity by moving the cut material under the saw band accurately and at higher speed. This improves feeding consistency and helps reduce the limitations normally associated with manual material movement or standard automatic feeding systems.
PILOUS System NC is suitable for metalworking workshops, fabrication companies, maintenance departments and production environments using manual or semi-automatic bandsaws. It is particularly useful where repeated cutting lengths, accurate stop positioning and reduced handling time are important.
Typical applications include bar stock cutting, profile cutting, tube and section cutting, batch preparation, repeated length cutting and general material preparation for welding, machining or assembly.
System NC is a strong choice for users who want to improve cutting efficiency without replacing their existing manual or semi-automatic PILOUS bandsaw with a full CNC automatic machine. It brings NC-controlled measuring, stop positioning and material feeding into the cutting process, increasing productivity while keeping the workflow familiar to the operator.
For workshops, the commercial value is straightforward: faster setup, reduced handling time, improved length accuracy and better repeatability. The operator can control the required length from the saw position, reducing unnecessary movement and improving daily cutting throughput.
