Roller Table Conveyor
Heavy-Duty Roller Tables & Material Handling Conveyors for Industrial Band Saws
Big Stone Machinery manufactures heavy-duty modular roller tables, powered infeed conveyors, and automated hydraulic cross- transfer conveyor systems engineered specifically for industrial horizontal and double-column band saws. Built in our 4,650 m² (~15,000 sq ft / 50,052 sq ft) manufacturing plant in Qionglin Township, Hsinchu County, Taiwan, our material handling solutions support structural steel fabricators, steel service centers, and heavy engineering facilities. Designed to handle raw stock from compact billets up to 15-meter (49.2 ft. ) long structural H-beams with section loads from 1,000 kg/m (672 lbs/ft) up to 5,000 kg/m (3,360 lbs/ft), Big Stone conveyors eliminate crane bottlenecks, safeguard operator safety, and maintain precision 0.1 mm cutting accuracy across continuous production shifts.
Engineered Material Handling Systems & Product Portfolio
In this product category, Big Stone showcases our complete material handling architecture. Note that our flagship production model listed with standalone technical catalog specifications is the Hydraulic Cross-Transfer Conveyor System (Product ID: 731809). All other roller table variations are modular engineered accessories tailored to your workshop layout and saw configuration:
Hydraulic Cross-Transfer Conveyor System
The flagship automated loading/unloading solution featured in this category. Utilizes heavy-duty hydraulic lifting cylinders and synchronized transverse transfer arms (strictly hydraulic driven, eliminating failure-prone servo chains) to stage multi-ton structural beams and transfer them smoothly onto the saw infeed line.
- Drive Type: Heavy-duty hydraulic cylinder lift & transverse push arms (No servo chains)
- Staging Capacity: 3 to 6 parallel structural beams or bundle packs
- Crane Elimination: Reduces overhead crane cycle delays by up to 75%
- Compatibility: DMS, DMA, and AW series heavy double-column band saws
Material Feeding System: Hydraulic or Electric Motor Driven
Engineered for extra-long material infeed runs up to 15 meters (49.2 ft.). Driven by high-torque electric gear motors or hydraulic drives without fragile variable frequency inverters (VFD) or chain drives, providing dependable raw profile advancing in dusty metal fabrication environments.
- Drive Type: Heavy-duty electric motor or hydraulic direct drive (No VFD inverter, no chains)
- Feed Capacity: Structural H-beams, hollow sections, and solid bars up to 15 m (49.2 ft.)
- Load Rating: Up to 5,000 kg/m (3,360 lbs/ft) heavy steel section capacity
- Guidance: Optional vertical containment guide rollers prevent lateral drift
Standard Heavy-Duty Non-Powered Roller Tables
Modular idle roller conveyor tables constructed from heavy-gauge structural channel frames and precision ball-bearing solid steel rollers. Engineered for smooth manual material movement or passive outfeed discharge support.
- Modular Lengths: 1m, 2m, 3m, and 5m (3.3, 6.6, 9.8, 16.4 ft.) standard interconnecting sections
- Roller Construction: Heavy-wall steel tubing with sealed double ball bearings
- Height Adjustment: Heavy leveling screws matching saw table pass-line height (600–850 mm / 23.6"–33.5")
- Applications: Standard infeed and outfeed runs for all Big Stone band saws
DMA & DMS Miter Auxiliary Roller Tables
Specialized angle-cutting support tables configured strictly as passive/gravity idle roller support (no motorized drive) to follow the swing radius of miter-cutting band saws without interfering with the cutting head or vise mechanisms.
- Drive Type: Strictly passive / gravity idle roller support (No motorized drive)
- Miter Compatibility: Accommodates miter swings from 90° straight cut to -60° / +60° miters
- Proximity Support: Provides close-coupled stock support near the saw blade entry
- Compatibility: Big Stone 450M, 500DMA, 610DM, 650DMS, 705DMS, 800DMS miter saws
Forklift-Accessible Heavy Material Loading Infeed Tables
Designed with recessed frame channels and reinforced entry guides to allow forklift tines and crane lifting slings to lower full steel bundles directly onto the roller bed without striking or damaging the structural table chassis. Reduces material handling damage and improves loading ergonomics for steel warehouse operators.
- Design Feature: Recessed side channels for unobstructed forklift fork and crane sling entry
- Load Capacity: Heavy structural frame rated up to 10,000 kg (22,046 lbs) bundle drop impact
- Roller Protection: High-impact shock mounts under heavy-duty bearing housings

Standard Saw Inclusions & 3-Step Selection Guide
Standard Factory Inclusions by Band Saw Series
- DMS Semi-Automatic Series: Standard DMS machines have NO infeed and NO outfeed roller tables included. Fabricators must select modular optional roller tables (available in 1m, 2m, 3m, and 5m lengths) based on shop floor requirements.
- DMA CNC Automatic Series: Standard DMA machines include an infeed powered servo roller table of approximately 2,300 mm (7.5 ft.). Outfeed roller tables are not included and can be ordered as optional modular accessories (1m, 2m, 3m, 5m).
- 15-Meter Long Material Infeed: For handling 15-meter raw bars and beams, Big Stone supplies strictly powered/motorized infeed tables (not servo), ensuring rugged reliability under high inertia.
3-Step Engineering Selection Process
- Calculate Material Length & Tonnage: For bars under 3 meters (9.8 ft.), standard non-powered gravity tables suffice. For beams exceeding 6 meters or bundles over 3,000 kg (6,614 lbs), motorized infeed is recommended.
- Assess Workflow Frequency: High-volume production lines cutting hundreds of pieces daily achieve rapid payback by investing in the Hydraulic Cross-Transfer System (Product ID: 731809).
- Check Pass-Line Height & Angular Clearances: Verify saw table pass-line height (600–850 mm / 23.6"–33.5") and miter swing clearances (-60° to +60°) before finalizing layout.
