A guiding device for a saw band or a sawblade of a sawing machine is provided, which has at least one holder with at least one gliding part and/or at least one roll for an at least temporary gliding and/or rolling contact with the saw band or sawblade. The at least one gliding part and/or the at least one roll is provided on the holder in a movable fashion in reference to the holder, with the at least one gliding part and/or the at least one roll being movable in reference to the holder via at least one piezo-actuator, essentially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the saw band or sawblade. A sawing machine with such a guiding device is also provided.

A sawing machine for bevel cuts having an upper saw portion with two running wheels, one of which is motor driven, a saw band which rotates about the running wheels, a lifting and lowering device for the upward and downward movement of the upper saw portion to move the saw band with a sawing advance movement in a sawing region, a transport path for supplying a workpiece in a supply direction to the sawing region, a frame, on which the upper saw portion is retained and which is pivotable about a vertical axis in order to adjust a bevel angle between the saw band and the supply direction. A movable sawing table is arranged in the sawing region for positioning the workpiece to be sawn and a clamping vice for clamping the workpiece during the sawing operation. The sawing table and the clamping vice are constructed to be movable in and counter to the supply direction.

An anti-vibration arrangement for a band saw blade in a band saw machine, which is constructed to cut a workpiece by shifting the endless band saw blade running in a circulating manner to a cutting direction, wherein nozzles are provided for injecting high-pressure cutting liquid toward each side face of the body of the band saw blade on the entering-side where the band saw blade enters into a cut groove of the workpiece formed by the band saw blade in the cutting process of the band saw machine.

A method for obtaining a diameter is provided. The method is to be applied to a multi-roller module system and includes: designating a target linear velocity associated with a wire moving in the multi-roller module system, and a value of a presumed diameter parameter associated with a diameter of a main roller; calculating an initial rotational speed of the main roller; measuring a current rotational speed of the fixed-diameter rotating component; calculating an actual linear velocity of the wire; and determining that the value of the presumed diameter parameter equals an actual diameter of the main roller when it is determined that the ratio of the target linear velocity to the actual linear velocity is equal to one.

A horizontal band saw machine includes a pair of jaws, a pair of saw blade wheels, a band saw blade looped over the saw blade wheels, a pair of saw blade guides, a contact guide attached to the other of the pair of jaws, a coupling bracket connected to the other of the pair of saw blade guides to locate a distal end thereof below the other of the pair of saw blade wheels, and a follower member provided at the distal end of the coupling bracket. The contact guide and the coupling bracket are configured to move one of the pair of saw blade guides until the follower member contacts with the contact guide when the band saw blade is fed circularly in a state where the band saw blade is clamped by the one of the pair of saw blade guides.
