FORWARD (17 ): to move the cutting unit in the direction of the workpiece up to the minimum programmed point.
The corresponding led light shows that the tool is moving. By pushing TEST + 17 you can get the barfeed return.
For automatic machine only, if you press it within the TEST button -pos.4/dr.RI0055- it move the feeder forward.
OPEN VICE (18): push it to open the machine vice. The led light on indicates that the command has been set ( ex.
when the cycle starts by open vice, the vice will open again at the end of the working cycle).
For automatic machine only, if you press it within the TEST button -pos.4/dr.RI0055- it open the feeder vice
CLOSE VICE (19): push it to close the machine vice. The same as for the open vice (see above).
For automatic machine only, if you press it within the TEST button -pos.4/dr.RI0055- it close the feeder vice
CYCLE START(20):
it allows to start a semiautomatic cutting cycle (when the led light of the function F3 is not
flashing - pos. 25 / dr. RI0055).
On request we can also programme the machine so that this button is not operative (for ex. by connecting
the command to the pedal), in order to avoid unwanted startings (ask it to Service Assistance).
The corresponding led light indicates that the machine is working.
CYCLE STOP (21): it allows to stop the semiautomatic or automatic cutting cycle in each moment and to push
other buttons of the manual commands.
FUNCTION 1 = F1 (26):
If the led light is on, the returning stroke can be done with the tool in movement; if it is off
with the tool stopped.
FUNCTION 2 = F2 (27): it allows only the slow cutting stroke, if the led light is on (short cycle); it allows the
appro slow cutting stroke if the led light is off (normal cycle).
FUNCTION 3 = F3 (25): if led light is on, it stops the semiautomatic cutting cycle on the returning point (at the end
of the cut).
TOOL SPEED -1 (11): by pushing this button when the machine is not working you can pre-select the lowest cutting
speed (only for 2 speed machines ); if pushed when the tool is in movement there is a speed decrease (only
in machines with ESC). If the led is on, it means that the preselection has been made.
TOOL SPEED 0 (12): by pushing it when the machine is not working you can pre-select cutting speed 0. For safety
the function is not operative when machine is working. The led light on indicates that pre-selection has been made.
TOOL SPEED+2 (13): by pushing it when the machine is not working you can pre-select the highest speed (only for
2 speed machines); if pushed when the tool is moving, it determins a speed increase (only in machines
equipped with inverter = ESC). The led light on indicates that pre-selection has been made.
COOLANT ON IN SEMIAUTOMATIC CYCLE (24 ): by led light on the coolant pump is operative only in the
semiautomatic cutting cycle.
It is better if the working cycle time is longer than 15 seconds.
COOLANT ON (23
): by led light on, the coolant pump is always operative.
Use only if the working cycle time is shorter than 15 seconds.
If the machine is not working you can use the cleaning gun by pushing this button.
COOLANT OFF (22): by led light on, the coolant pump is always off, for example by dry cuttings or by setting up the
machine.
TEST (4) = Special functions for diagnostic
MODE (10) = Special functions for programming
The buttons on the right side (14 and 15) were used to memorize the cutting area on older versions of this saw.
15.2 - SETTING OF THE CUTTING LIMITS
Thanks to the new device which automatically detects the material, no memorization of the start and end-cut points
is required: the sawframe drops always quickly until the “position sensor” - 1/RI0465 - touches the material, then it
slows down and continues to lower according to the speed chosen by the user. The end-cut point can be easily
adjusted by moving the small rod
– 3/RI0465 – of the end-stroke.
