The Gator GFTO Series is a heavy-duty, pivot-type automatic bandsaw designed for 90° production cutting. It features a sophisticated hydraulic shuttle-feed system that ensures high-speed material indexing. Whether you are cutting solid bar, heavy-wall pipe, or RHS, the GFTO is engineered for 24/7 reliability in the most demanding industrial environments.
Key Technical Specifications:
Operation: Fully Automatic Hydraulic Shuttle Feed.
Control: PLC Interface with multi-job memory (Store different lengths/quantities).
Cutting Angle: 90° Straight Cut (Optimised for maximum speed and rigidity).
Feeding: Precision hydraulic shuttle vice with multi-stroke capability for long lengths.
Blade Protection: Integrated motion sensor (Automatic shut-off if the blade breaks or jams).
Bundle Clamping: Included a hydraulic top-press for cutting entire packs of steel at once.
Capacity: Models available for medium to heavy-duty industrial sections.
Top 5 "Gator GFTO" Advantages:
True "Lights-Out" Production: Program the machine and let it run. The fully automatic cycle handles everything from material indexing to frame return, allowing your shop to produce while you sleep or focus on other tasks.
Unmatched Repeatability: The hydraulic shuttle feed system ensures that the first cut is identical to the last. This eliminates the need for manual "measuring and checking," speeding up your downstream assembly.
Maximum Bundle Efficiency: Why cut one when you can cut twenty? The integrated bundle-clamping system allows you to process entire packs of RHS or Pipe in a single cycle, multiplying your daily output.
Heavy-Duty Pivot Design: The pivot-type frame offers a compact footprint with extreme rigidity. This reduces vibration, which in turn extends your blade life and provides a cleaner surface finish.
Smart Cuttings Management: Features an integrated chip conveyor (optional on some models) and a high-volume coolant system to keep the work area clean and the blade cool during high-speed production runs.
