Cutting result adjustment for models 360 INOX Series / 460 INOX Series
Improving possible misalignment of the cut
The cut is affected by many factors, e.g. the size of the
pipe, the material, the wall thickness, the quality of the
pipe's surface, the roundness, welded seams, blade
condition, feed rate, operator's experience. For this
reason, the saw may move to left or right cussing
unperfect cut (see Fig K).
If the cutting result is not square, blade alignment can
be adjusted.
CAUTION! Blade alignment adjustment is very
effective and can lead to blade and/or saw damage if
adjusted too much.
Before making the adjustment, note the bodyplate
alignment (FIGURE M/b 2), in case it is needed to
return back to the original setting.
Loosen the two screws securing the bodyplate
(FIGURE M/b 1 and 2. Turn the bodyplate to the
required direction and secure the two screws. Make
only small adjustments at a time.
If the cutting line goes from right to left (FIGURE K/a),
turn the bodyplate clockwise
If the cutting line goes from left to right (FIGURE K/b),
turn the bodyplate counterclockwise.
CAUTION! The adjustment indicator located in the
back of the adjustment plate does not give the exact
measurement to adjust. The indicator shows only the
direction of adjustment and the category of magnitude.
The laser beam can be used to aid in correct
adjustment.
1. Mark the reference line precisely on the pipe at an
angle of 90 degrees in the longitudinal direction.
2. Place the saw on the pipe so that the red line of the
laser is next to the reference line at an angle of 90
degrees. Tighten the griper to the normal tension level.
Check if the laser line and reference line are parallel. In
FIGURE M/A the laser beam is not parallel with the
reference line.
3. Release the two locking screws of the adjustment
plate (FIGURE M/b 1 and 2).
4. Adjust the motor unit to the left or right as needed to
get the laser beam and the reference line parallel. In
FIGURE M/c the laser beam is parallel with the
reference line.
5. Tighten the locking screws of the adjustment plate
very tightly.
CAUTION!
If the motor unit is adjusted with the laser,
the gripping device must be attached to the pipe with
normal tension. This ensures that the saw fastening
corresponds to the normal condition of operation.
