Manual chip conveyor handle and chip bucket.
CHIP CONVEYOR
The chips generated while sawing can be removed from the bottom of the machine with the help of the optional chip con-
veyor. Rotation of the chip conveyor crank will operate the conveyor in the direction of rotation of the crank. A chip bucket
is available as an option with the chip conveyor option. The crank handle and chip bucket are shown here.
HYDRAULIC CHIP CONVEYOR
An option available with the V18 APC is the hydraulic chip conveyor drive which provides an easier means of cleaning
out the chips that accumulate while cutting. A Chip Conveyor control switch for the hydraulically driven chip conveyor is
located on the operator control panel.
HEAD BACK LIMIT ADJUSTMENT
For machines with the canted head option, the blade is further from the material at
the table than it is at the top of the guide arm height. The higher the material height,
the farther back the head must travel to allow the material to clear the blade when it
is being shuttled forward. When cutting lower materials, the head back travel distance
can be limited and thereby reduce the cycle time for each cut. The head back limit
handle is located on the control mounting arm. It can be pulled out (full back position)
or pushed in.
With the handle pulled fully out, fully retract the head. Load and close the vise on the
material, advance the head so the blade is approximately 1/4” from the material at its
widest point. Push the handle fully in, retract the head, and pull the handle out slowly
until the head begins to retract. At this point the handle should be turned (either way)
to lock its position. This procedure should be repeated whenever different material is
to be cut.
COOLANT FLOW
A generous flow of coolant should be applied in order to increase
production and blade life. The machine is provided with an indepen-
dently controlled coolant spout. This spout should always flood the
blade with coolant. Slight adjustment may be required when changing
the blade speed. A properly adjusted flow of coolant should cover the
blade which in turn will carry it into the cutting area. Flow adjusting tap
is shown at Console side in the photo.
NOTE: When cutting materials that do not need coolant (cast iron)
some coolant flow is required to provide blade lubrication in order to
prevent blade scoring by the carbides.
