Rapid automatic blade brake
📞 1 225-424-8804Rapid automatic blade brake
Echidna was the first to design and introduce an hydraulic braking system to its excavator saw range.
The automatic blade brake stops the blade almost instantaneously when the power to the saw has been removed.
Operation
The Echidna automatic blade brake operates when power to the saw drive is reduced.
It quickly slows the blade to a stop using the internal hydraulic circuit.
The added advantage is that the brake operates automatically, and stays on when power is removed from the saw. The blade is locked at all times unless the saw is in use.
This is an important safety feature designed and developed by Echidna.
Being integral to the hydraulic circuit of the rock saw, the brake does not contain parts that wear. This means there is no maintenance required, no periodic replacement of parts, and no contamination of the the working parts of the saw with abrasive powder from worn brakes.
Other Echidna Diamond Rocksaw Features
Through-Hub Water Distribution
Improve blade life and cutting rates with optimised water distribution.
Reversible Blade Spin
For site protection and horizontal cutting.This is a feature of all Echidna diamond tipped saws, including high speed and multiple blade models.
Narrow body for trenching
One of our design criteria is to minimise the width of the saw, to allow it to be inserted into trenches.
Bearing Hub
The construction of the front bearing hub and its sealing arrangement gives a life time warranty for protection against any dirt entering the bearing space and even allows to use the saw fully submerged in water.
Adjustable shield
Composite, rotating safety shield provides maximum protection and allows flush cutting
Rotating Stand
The standard stand for all Echidna diamond saws has a rotating cradle. Rotating the cradle allows easy regripping if cutting on alternate sides of the excavator.
Convert to Multiblade saw
The robust construction of the spindle bearing support or all of the Echidna diamond rock saws allows for the mounting of two or more blades, with an offset spacer for cutting of trenches.
Trenches from 20mm up to 500mm in width can be cut this way.Multiple blades can be fitted for quarrying finished slices of stone.
For wider trenches, we recommend using our DX2 range of diamond saws, with blade(s) on either side of the saw.
