Bundle Setup Instructions
Bundle Support Table
The Bundle Support Table should be positioned in front of the SpeedCut, with the uppermost pair of
tubes running perpendicular to the saw blade. It is important to place the tube bundle so the centerline
of the bundle is aligned with the centerline of the Bundle Support Table.
Depending on the size of the tube bundle, it may be necessary to utilize two or more Bundle Support
Tables in order to properly secure the load. If multiple tables are used, be sure to center the bundle on
each table and center all tables in the middle of the exposed saw blade.
Once the bundle has been placed onto the Bundle Support Table(s), use the included Ratchet Strap(s)
by running each Strap completely around the bundle and through the open midsection of the table.
Tighten the Strap via the ratchet to ensure the bundle remains secure.
NOTE:
This is especially beneficial to prevent rolling when cutting smaller bundles.
Tube Sheet Support Table
If using the Tube Sheet Support Table in conjunction with the Clamping
System, please see the Clamping System Installation Instructions.
If the table is to be used alone, the basic operations are as follows:
1. To set the cut off depth of the Anvil and the Eyebolts, loosen the
130GN Hex Bolts from the Anvil and the 171K Nuts from the
Eyebolts, slide the Anvil and Eyebolts into position (Figure 9). The
tube sheet should be centralized on the Anvil with the curved face
of the sheet having maximum contact with the Anvil.
NOTE:
Ensure
tube sheet is not tilted forward or backward while resting on the Anvil.
2. After the tube sheet is centralized and making maximum contact with
the Anvil, run the Ratchet Strap from one Shackle over the top of the
tube sheet to the other Shackle. Tighten down the Ratchet Strap to
secure the tube sheet.
Clamping System
1. Raise the saw frame so the saw blade is safely above the tube sheet.
2. Raise the Clamp Head with the pendant switch so the bottom of the head is even with
the raised saw blade. If necessary, move the Anvil at this time so it is straddling the base
of the Clamp Beam.
3. Position the tube bundle so the tube sheet is resting on the Anvil (without any tilting)
directly below the Clamp Head. The rest of the bundle should be supported by the
Bundle Support Table(s).
4. Once the tube sheet is in an ideal position for bundle cutting, press and hold the down
button on the pendant switch to lower the Clamp Head and release pendant switch when
full weight of Clamp Head is resting on top of tube sheet. The clamp head must be low
enough to relax all tension from hoist cable, but not create excess slack.
5. With the Clamp Head in place, attach the Ratchet Strap to one Shackle on the Tube
Sheet Support Table, run the Strap over the top face of the Clamp Head and attach to the
Shackle on the other side of the Tube Sheet Support Table. Two dowel pins are provided
as guides for feeding the Strap over the Clamp Head. Finally, tighten the Ratchet Strap
sufficiently over the Clamp Head to provide additional downward pressure firmly securing
the tube sheet throughout the cut.
