Introduction
The FS-2500 is an advanced bandsaw blade milling machine, succeeding the FS-2000, and is part of Kesel's range of large bandsaw blade milling machines. It incorporates the Siemens CNC Sinumerik 840 Dsl control system and optimized Siemens servo drive units, enhancing productivity, quality, efficiency, and operability.

Specifications
The FS-2500 is designed for efficient tooth profile milling of carbon and bi-metal bandsaw blades, as well as backing material for carbide-tipped bandsaw blades, with a band width of up to 125 mm and a profile milling range of 32 - 0.5 TPI. It features a milling head with a high-power drive, a maximum RPM of 450, and a milling arbor SK 50. The machine's clamping system has a 40% reduced lifting on the clamping jaw, with a clamping width of 60 mm and a possible band height of up to 125 mm.

Pay-out System
The pay-out system can store up to 40 steel bands, with variable adjustment for band feed-in stations to reduce changeover times and prevent damage. Various vertical and horizontal pay-out and take-up systems are available to meet customer requirements.

Milling Process
The FS-2500 offers zero backlash drive units and a specially designed power transmission for high running smoothness and tooth quality. It supports both climb milling and conventional milling processes, making it suitable for larger tooth profiles and smaller bands.

Control System
The Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl control system allows for complete and flexible NC-programming, with an optimized user interface that includes entry screens and forms for direct parameter input.

Cooling and Swarf Removal
The machine uses emulsion as a cooling lubricant, with a magnetic filter roller for fine filtration and a belt conveyor for chip removal. The coolant system has a filling capacity of 900 liters.

Options and Accessories
Additional milling accessories, clamping equipment, coiling systems, cutter changing units, and fine filtration systems are available. The Kesel 0 Loss System ensures zero loss band in-feed, and a user interface with templates for milling parameters is offered.

Dimensions and Weight
The machine measures 2,940 mm in length, 3,600 mm in depth, and 2,510 mm in height, with an approximate weight of 13,000 kg, including the control cabinet.

Conclusion
The FS-2500 bandsaw blade milling machine is a versatile and efficient solution for manufacturers worldwide, offering extensive possibilities for tooth profile milling processes and accommodating various band sizes.
