Tensioning

Tensioning is the operation whereby the band saw blade is elongated in the central area so that when it copies the profile of the flywheel when it covers it. This prevents deviation during cutting, avoiding that the blade should be while the log is being processed.


The tensioning grade depends on the Band Saw specifications, is determined using the lighted slit method and is expressed by the size of the gap between the blade and ruler, measured when the blade is bended to the same radius as flywheel. The tensioning operation will achieve at the same time the band blade back linearity. Band Saw blades produced by Evoluzione SRL are tensioned by automatic machines.
