Introduction
The B240M is a high-performance bandsaw blade milling machine from Kesel, part of the new B Series. It builds on the success of the FS 2500 and is designed for enhanced productivity and precision in bandsaw blade production.

Specifications
The B240M features a hybrid core with a steel and mineral-composite machine bed and column, providing increased stiffness and dampening. It supports milling cutters up to 240 mm wide and can handle bandwidths up to 125 mm with a range of tooth profiles from 32 to 0.5 TPI.

Control System
The machine is equipped with the Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl platform, offering high performance and precision. It includes flexible architecture and automatic workflows for simplified NC-programming and integrated hydraulic controls.

Swarf Management
The swarf management system is optimized for emulsion or oil coolant, ensuring optimal cooling and rinsing. An optional fleece micro-filtering system can enhance surface finish.

Milling Capabilities
The B240M can mill carbon, bi-metal, and carbide-tipped backing materials. It features a hybrid machine bed and milling column with zero backlash drive units, ensuring smooth milling and optimized tool life.

Band Feeding and Transportation
The updated band feed system increases speed and reduces material wastage. It includes redesigned roller guides and a pneumatic band-packet holder for quick changeovers. The zero-loss feed system ensures efficient use of materials.
