Product 100% Made in Italy

Semi-automatic hydraulic double miter + electronic speed variator

550 BSA VAR-E

Semi-automatic hydraulic double miter saw designed for cutting large sections.

It is built with a massive base structure and cast iron components, one-piece welded steel head combined with a 34 mm (1”1/4) blade height, a powerful gearbox motor 4 kW (5.5 HP) with electronic variator to ensure maximum stability and outstanding cutting performance. The high-quality construction and the compact footprint make this model unique in its range.

Thanks to the Carif Patented Hydraulic System with feed and pressure regulator, the 550 can cut any type of material and thickness. The blade cuts through the material with constant auto-regulation according to the material cross-section, significantly improving performance and extending blade life.

All dimensions stays for solid material

Cutting capacity: Ø330 mm (13″); 550×220 mm (21.6″ x 7.8″) | 500×300 mm (20″ x 12″)

  • No installation required. Plug in and start cutting.
  • 2 years warranty
  • Instruction manual and spare parts list
  • Free technical support by phone/email

FEATURES

The main feutures of 550 BSA VAR-E

FRAME

The Heavy duty welded structural steel frame precision-machined on our machining center in a single setup, guarantees the cutting of solid bars up to 330 mm diameter (13”) and 550 mm (21”) plate.

WHEELS

Made of ductile cast iron of a diameter 400mm (dia. 16”)  to ensure high tensile strength and wear resistance.

MAIN CONTROL

Ergonomic control panel with integrated display for managing all cutting functions: speed adjustment, cut start position memory (Start/end cut positions are memorized by the potentiometer on the arm pivot. The blade returns to the starting position at the end of the cycle. Possibility of performing intermediate cuts), piece counter, coolant system, Mist system(opt) laser (opt), and work light (opt)

ECCENTRIC ROLLER

The roller lifts the material slightly above the support surface to facilitate the feeding of heavy short pieces.

BLADE SWITCH AND LOAD CELL

Blade tension is displayed and controlled through a load cell, while the blade switch stops the machine in case of blade breakage or drive wheel slippage.

GEAR BOX MOTOR

Powerful 6.5Hp motor paired with Heavy-duty worm gear reducer to ensure high torque, transmitted directly to the drive wheel through a Ø65 mm transmission galvanized shaft.

POTENTIOMETER

Salvataggio del punto di inizio taglio. A fine ciclo l’arco ritorna automaticamente alla posizione impostata. Possibilità di modificare la posizione di fine taglio.

WORKPIECE SURFACES

Large workpiece support surfaces provide a practical working area.The tables are independent of the saw arm rotation.Once worn, the tables can be turned upside down, always providing a new working surface.

CHIPS TANK

Large chip tray complete with a perforated tank that allows coolant to pass through while retaining swarf. Easy to clean.

All CARIF models 260/320/450 are completely Hydraulic: closure of the vice, bow feed and pressure.

Closure of the vice, bow feed and pressure. The Carif hydraulic patented system has been designed with 2 commands: BOW FEED and CUTTING PRESSURE.
Thanks to this system the blade regularly descends, with a constant auto-regulation for every material type, section and thickness.

Increased productivity: No operator during cutting cycle, Ø stops.

Longer blade life: Slows down the bow descent without straining the blade when worn out.

Always straight cut: Auto-regulation of blade-stress based on material hardness and section.

Fast cutting operations: Fully hydraulic cycle. More efficiency.

Easy to use: Practical, simple and ergonomic operations.

Why choose a Carif band saw

The heavy-duty structure ensures outstanding cutting performance on all types of materials and section sizes. All cutting capacities and technical data specified are referred to solid materials: whether cutting standard steels or high-strength materials, a CARIF band saw gives the same reliability and cutting efficiency.

Cutting perpendicularity is tested and guaranteed within decimal tolerances, with a maximum deviation of 0.2 mm every 100 mm.

Below you can find a few cutting examples. All cutting videos can be watched in the dedicated video page.

Note: To achieve optimal cutting performance and maintain straightness, it is essential to properly adjust the carbide inserts on the blade guides, to set the right cutting parameters Bow feed and cutting pressure. Additionally, the blade quality and, last but not least, the correct TPI configuration play a crucial role.

FAQ

Can this machine cut an HEB 300 beam?

Yes. Up to +45°, it can cut sections up to 300 × 300 mm.

 

What is the difference between the 550 BSAVAR and the 550 BSA models?

550 BSAVAR 550 BSA
4 kW motor with inverter 2-speed 2.4 kW motor
Control panel with display mounted on swing arm Control panel fixed to the machine
Potentiometer for memorizing cut start/end positions Handle for arm stop position on the return cylinder
Rapid positioning to the cutting point managed by an additional electro_valve connected to the bow cylinder Manual approach to the cutting point through feed control lever
Load cell for blade tension control directly from the display Mechanical blade tensioning system
Optional accessories (minimum lubrication, laser, light) managed directly from the front control panel. Very practical. Optional accessories (minimum lubrication, laser, light) controlled by separate buttons

Which model is recommended when using outfeed roller tables?

The variable-speed model is recommended, as it allows the blade position to be controlled directly from the front display. This makes it very convenient for the operator to memorize the cut start/end positions.
