Care and maintenance is absolutely necessary to maintain the functionality of the machine and its components. This includes: check
and adjustment of band saw guide heads
•
machine
cleaning
•
metal chips removal
•
removing metal chips from the internal part of the
band saw arm
•
coolant replacement
•
lubrication of sliding surfaces
•
checking of supply lines for damage
•
vice checks
•
screw
connection checks
•
limit switch checks
Check protective devices
Check the protection devices for possible damages and faults prior to the start of everyday work.
Check power cable
Check in regular intervals, at least once a week: integrity of electric installation
•
integrity of connections and relief from
pulling

Cleaning
Clean the machine in regular intervals (always at the end of the shift, or if required, during the shift). Use suitable cleaning agents. Do
not use solvents (e.g. nitro thinner). Do not use compressed air! Compressed air would blow delicate chips and dirt particles under
sliding elements or endanger the health of personnel by flying particles.
Danger of injury!
Carry out the maintenance work only if the power switch is off or if the machine is disconnected from the mains.
AUTOMATIC MODE
(see Section 4.1.2)
1) You have selected AUTOMATIC MODE .
2) Turn on the HYDRAULIC UNIT START , unless you have already done so in step 3).
3) Open the vice in ARG 260, 300 and 330 manually, using a rotary wheel. In ARG 520 DVC automat, press it and hold it. In ARG
520 DC automat,,the bar simultaneously moves along the movable guide head with the vice. In ARG 260, 300 and 330 is it necessary
to move the bar of the movable guide head manually in front of the fixed bar.
4) Click on the “SERIES” button, enter into any line, for example line 1, the length, the number of pieces, the height of the material, the
type of the feed (usually gradual >> for short pieces, return > for longer pieces) and then confirm the whole series (see Section
4.1.5). To exit the screen, press the ESC button. For further assistance with filling in of the height of the cut material, you can use the
table "ARM UPLIFT HEIGHT H SETTING" under the button (only in selected machines). Do not fill in value which is lesser than
40 mm.
5) Click on the "PRIMARY POSITION" button, the arm ascends to the highest position and the feeding vice arrives at the zero
position. Thus reaches the vice as well as the arm their primary positions and the machine becomes ready for the insertion of new
material.
6) Insert material. Insert the material underneath the blade in the case that you will want to downcut the material, i.e. deburr the
surface and, at the same time, the downcutting calibrates the saw to the zero level. After downcutting, the saw will feed the exact
length of the newly set workpiece. In case you do not wish to execute any downcutting, move the material as close as possible to the
saw blade. The accuracy, with which you perform this movement, will be included in the resulting workpiece.
7) Make sure the control valve is closed.
8) Turn on the SAW BLADE START button and the Correction pop-up window will appear. Click on the continue button to resume the
cycle. The saw blade will get started and the material will be clamped. Set the desired saw blade speed by a SAW BLADE SPEED
CONTROLLER.
9) The arm will execute the cut and will subsequently ascend to the height that has been preset in the series. According to the set
number of pieces, next cut will be performed or the series will be ended. The overall duration of the series will appear in the pop-up
window.
10) Set up a new series or insert new material to continue cutting.
