Why HEMA band saws are the right choice
HEMA provides stable, reproducible cutting processes for demanding materials. The difference is evident where standard solutions reach their limits: with high-quality materials, high precision, and thin kerfs combined with high productivity.
Specialization in lightweight materials
We focus on cutting lightweight materials and core materials such as honeycomb blocks and rigid foams. Thanks to this specialization, we develop cutting technologies that enable excellent material utilization with maximum precision, minimal kerfs, and high productivity.
Focus on the entire cutting process
At HEMA, we view the cutting process holistically. To achieve this, we tailor material properties, saw blade geometry, machine settings, and cutting parameters specifically to your application. This ensures reproducible cutting results, even in multi‒shift operations.
In-house production of cutting tools
We develop and manufacture saw blades, guides, and cutting tools ourselves within the Wintersteiger Group. This allows us to precisely match the tool geometry to your application and achieve an optimal cutting result.
Your problem is our priority
The starting point for every band saw solution is your specific task. Based on the material, the component geometry, and the process requirements, we design machines that are custom‒fit to your production environment.

Practical examples from the field
How companies work with HEMA band saw solutions
Two typical application scenarios show how HEMA band saw systems reduce material usage, stabilize processes, and thus lower our customers' costs.
Precise cutting of honeycomb blocks for the aviation industry
Companies in the aviation and aerospace industry process honeycomb blocks into core structures for sandwich components, such as cabin interiors. Dimensional accuracy and reproducible quality are crucial in this process. With HEMA band saw solutions, honeycomb blocks can be divided into thin, reproducible panels with a minimal kerf and a cleaner cut pattern. Specialized saw blade geometries ensure optimal cutting results.
How companies benefit in concrete terms:
Precise Cutting of Rigid Foam Cores for the Wind Power Industry
Rigid foam blocks made of PET, PVC, EPP, and PMI are processed into core materials for various applications, including marine use as well as the manufacturing of wind turbines and sandwich panels. High precision, minimal kerfs, and stable cutting processes are decisive factors here. Solutions from HEMA cut rigid foam blocks reliably into panels or wedge-shaped segments. High feed rates and optimized saw blade geometries enable reproducible cuts with a minimal kerf.
