ALO 187-C – The World’s Fastest Band Saw Setting Machine
Designed for maximum productivity, the ALO 187-C combines world-leading setting speed with outstanding setting quality. The innovative setting head sets all teeth both sides, simultaneously, enabling high-speed processing of longer set groups and harder band materials.
A unique advantage is the ability to run bands with either tooth direction, eliminating the need to re-coil blades before setting. This reduces handling time and improves production efficiency.
The integrated SGS camera system ensures precise tooth positioning throughout the process, eliminating the slipping issues often associated with older setting machines. Continuous monitoring and automatic adjustment of set and symmetry provide consistent quality, improved accuracy, and reliable production performance.
187-C is a setting machine that can handle all segments of production (meat, fish, wood, bi-metal)
With world-leading speed, dual tooth-direction capability, and camera-guided positioning, the ALO 187-C sets the benchmark for modern band saw setting.
Loopmaster – The future of band saw loop manufacturing
The Loopmaster is transforming band saw loop production by combining automation, flexibility, and operator-friendly design in one intelligent system.
By reducing manual handling and simplifying production, operators can work safer and more efficiently while significantly improving consistency, repeatability and overall loop quality. All functions are controlled through the proven ALO 177, making operation simple and intuitive with no robotics experience required.
Designed for maximum flexibility, Loopmaster produces welded loops of varying lengths directly from the same master coil, eliminating time-consuming changeovers while ensuring consistent quality and high productivity.
With multiple systems already delivered and more installations planned, manufacturers around the world are experiencing the benefits of increased automation, improved weld quality, and streamlined production with a highly attractive ROI, Loopmaster is setting a new standard for modern band saw loop manufacturing.
