Use and maintenance manual SHARK 282
Machine presentation
Functioning is completely manual: the operator, after having checked the
workpiece in the vice, grips the control lever and presses the bandsaw start
microswitch; with a downwards movement, the material is cut to the preset
length; the cutting head returns up at the end of the cutting operation, ready to
start a new work cycle.
In the MA version (Automatic Vice), a pneumatic cylinder applied on the vice
blocks the material between the jaws: the open/close control is located on the
base of the machine.
With the CCS accessory (Cut Control System), the machine can also perform a
semi---automatic work cycle. The operator, after using the selector located on the
control panel to choose the semi---automatic work cycle, clamps the material in
the vice and presses the button on the cutting head handgrip to start up the
bandsaw; the saw begins turning and the head commences its downstroke, the
speed of which can be adjusted using the control valve (head downstroke speed
regulator) located on the control panel. The head performs the cutting operation;
once the cut has been made, a limiter stops the cutting cycle, after which the head
is manually returned to its upper position so that, when a new workpiece is in
place, a new cycle can be started using once more the handgrip button.
Both the Automatic Vice and the Cut Control System are optional for the
SHARK 282 model; they can be factory installed on request made during the
ordering procedure, or may be installed by the user after the machine has
been bought.
