Press the SAW button on the left-hand side of the screen and set the timer values as shown below. To
determine the kerf, measure a short board with square ends, saw it in two, put the two pieces together
and measure the overall length of the resulting two pieces. The difference between the original length of
the board and the length of the two boards together is the kerf.
Saw Parameters

SAW KERF
– This value is the length of material the saw blade removes with each cut. If all
part lengths are off by the same amount from nominal dimension then the saw kerf may need to
be adjusted.

SAW CLAMP TIMER
– This is the delay time after vertical clamp is activated before the saw
advance is activated. Because there is no sensor for the vertical clamp, this timer will need to be
set to 300ms at minimum. The vertical clamp needs to be fully engaging the part before saw is
advanced. If either the vertical clamp flow controls or stop position are adjusted this value may
need to be increased.

SAW TIMER
– This is the delay time after saw advance is activated before the saw is
deactivated. The new saw versions have sensors to monitor saw position so this timer value
need to be set to 0.

SAW UNCLAMP TIMER
– This is the delay time after saw advance is deactivated before the
vertical clamp is deactivated. The new saw versions have sensors to monitor saw position so
this timer value need to be set to 0.
Now press the SCAN button on the left-hand side of the screen and set the Scan Start Position and Scan
Speed values as shown below.
Enter the value for the Parameter called PUSHER LENGTH also found in the picture below. After a scan
the pusher arm should drop behind the stock material with the retaining plate on top of the board and the
main plate behind the end of the stock, shown in the diagram below. If you are noticing after scanning
that the main plate of the pusher arm (or flyswatter) is dropping down on top of the board or if the retaining
plate is not above the end of the stock material then there is likely a problem with either with the board
end sensor or the value entered in the PUSHER LENGTH parameter. If the
flyswatter main plate is
dropping on top of the stock, increase PUSHER LENGTH. If it is going too far back and the flyswatter
stock retaining plate is dropping down behind the part then decrease the PUSHER LENGTH. When the
pusher or flyswatter drops down behind the stock, it should be positioned as shown in the diagram below.
There is a video that describes how to adjust the length sensor. Here is a link:
