The saw bow
The saw bow consists of the drive members (gear motor or
variable speed motor, flywheels), tightening and guide (blade
tightening slide, blade guide blocks) of tool and cutting angle
adjustment.
The vise system
The automatic vise clamps on this
machine exert great pressure on the
clamped workpieces when they are activated. Use extreme
caution when placing, positioning and clamping stock with
the vise clamps.
1A
This machine utilizes the function of two vises (1A) to perform the
automatic feed operation. The vise system consists of a slotted
bench vise and shuttle vise for three point clamping and feeding
of the work material. The shuttle vise has a two-sided hydraulic
system that allows it to clamp and feed irregular pieces without
binding.
The approach sensor
2A
The approach sensor (2A) reduces operation cycle time by
allowing the saw bow to approach the work piece quickly and
then slow to the cutting rate just before blade touches the work
piece.
The nesting clamps (optional)
Nestling clamps are used for bundle cutting operations. They
press down the material allowing the grouping of many small
diameter workpieces. This provides efficiency for cutting many
small, equally sized pieces. These clamps are hydraulically
operated and are connecting to the bench vise and shuttle vises.
Blade breakage sensor
3A
The Model
9684486
Automatic Band Saw is equipped with
automatic power shut-off safety sensor (3A) to help prevent
machine damage when a blade has been broken.
This blade breakage sensor determines the movement of the
blade flywheel. If the blade is broken or the blade tension is too
loose the flywheel will not move. The sensor recognizes the lack
of movement and shuts down the machine.
The base
The base is the structure supporting the saw bow (the bow pivot
point and respective blocking system), the vises, rollers, feeding
and coolant systems.
