SpeedCut 17
Operating Instructions
1. Fill the MQL Lubrication System container to the 70 oz. line with the provided Advanced
Metalworking Lubricant. For additional lubricant, contact Elliott Tool Technologies.
2. For initial operation, check hydraulic oil levels and add oil as needed.
3. Set Frame Limits if necessary. See page 18 for instructions.
4. Ensure all Emergency Stops are released.
5. Raise the frame by pressing and holding the FRAME RAISE button. Release FRAME RAISE
button when frame reaches a position so the blade is above the vessel.
6. Follow Bundle Setup Instructions on page 16 to place vessel in cutting position.
NOTE:
Ensure tube sheet is placed in a position that will not prohibit blade motion during cut.
7. Adjust the Blade Guides to be about one inch from the widest point of the vessel.
8. Press and hold FRAME LOWER button to lower the frame. Release button when blade is very
close, but not touching the vessel. If more rapid traverse in lowering the frame is desired, this
can be accomplished by turning the cutting speed control dial to “TRAVERSE” in a counter-
clockwise direction.
NOTE:
When FRAME LOWER button is activated the yellow FEED ON light on top of the
control panel will turn on. When the frame reaches the lower feed stop limit switch, the
FRAME LOWER button is deactivated and the light will turn off.
9. With vessel in proper position for cutting and clamped, push BLADE START button
to start blade drive motor and wait for blade speed to be reached.
NOTE:
Always start at a low speed.
10. Turn COOLANT switch to ON. Check to ensure adequate coolant is being applied onto blade.
11. Push FRAME LOWER button, which energizes blade micro switch and solenoid valve circuit.
The machine will then start its controlled cutting action. The frame will automatically stop
when it reaches the lower limit switch.
12. When cutting begins, notice the action of the blade micro switch located in casting
above the blade on the left blade guide assembly. This micro switch will regulate the cutting
force applied to the blade throughout the cut.
NOTE:
Should the blade become stuck or jammed, the REVERSE JOG button may
be pressed to momentarily reverse the direction of blade to un-stick it. However
the REVERSE JOG button should never be pressed for more than a few seconds.
The bandwheels are pitched to keep the top of the blade against the flange while
rotating in the forward direction. Running the blade in reverse for more than five revolutions
will cause the blade to work itself off the bandwheels.
13. Upon completion of the cut, remove the bundle from the working area.
14. Remove the tube sheet.
CAUTION
!
Ensure tube sheet has been properly secured
to avoid serious injury or damage.
Do NOT raise Clamping System until prepared
to remove the tube sheet.
