Important Automatic Cycle Operating Reminders
1.
The operator may adjust band speed, coolant flow,
rapid approach rate, and/or feed force at any time
during the sawing process.
2.
During automatic cycle, control of the machine starts
at the job displayed when the
Auto (F6)
button is
pushed. The only way to turn
Auto
off is to push
the button again.
3.
To run jobs in automatic cycle:
(a)
Stock to be cut
must be clamped by both vises;
(b)
The job to be
cut must be displayed on the screen;
(c)
Push the
Auto (F6)
button;
(d)
Move the
Saw Head Control
selector to "DOWN/AUTO";
(e)
Push the
Band/Cycle
Start
button.
4.
To interrupt automatic cycle:
(a)
Move the
Saw
Head Control
selector to "HOLD" (this will stop saw
head fall and saw band);
(b
) Push the
Auto
button
to switch machine operation to the "MANUAL mode;
(c)
To resume cut after interuption, move the
Saw
Head Control
selector to "DOWN/AUTO" and then
push the
Band/Cycle Start
button.
10.
After the cut has been completed, the saw band
will shut off with the saw head in the down position.
Next:
(a)
Raise the saw head by moving the
Saw
Head Control
selector to "UP" (move the selector
to "HOLD" when the desired saw head height is
reached);
(b)
Unclamp the index and fixed vise
jaws;
(c)
Remove the cut-off piece.
Automatic Operation Preview
1.
Automatic machine operation allows the processing
of single jobs or run lists A or B of ten (10) jobs in
each list. Each job can be programmed to produce
a different length and number of cuts. When the
programmed jobs have been completed:
(a)
The saw
head will stay down;
(b)
the band drive motor will shut
off;
(c)
The
Display
will show "Jobs Complete".
2.
The following are helpful operating reminders:
•
If the number of cuts done is
less
than the number of
cuts programmed, the machine will cut the remainder
of the parts requested for that job.
•
If the number of cuts done is
equal to or greater
than the number of cuts programmed, the machine
will not cut any more parts on that job.
•
Every time automatic operating mode is selected,
the machine will take a "crop cut" to square the end
of the stockpiece (this is done to insure the best part
accuracy).
It is the operator's responsibility to
position the stock for this cut.
Automatic Operation
1.
Start the machine by following steps 1 through 7
from the preceding
"Manual Operation"
section.
Be sure that both the index and fixed vise jaws
are clamped.
2.
Enter job information into the job library. Each job
has a number assigned by the machine control.
The operator must enter length of cut and number
of cuts information for each job.
3.
Select the specific job to be run by:
(a)
Push the
Jobs (F4)
button and "Jobs" screen appears.
(b)
Enter the job number and then push ENTER.
4.
Edit the job if necessary. See the Control Console
section referring to the
"Operator Work Station"
previously in the "Operation" chapter for information
on this process.
