Starting the wire saw
Proceed as follows:
9
Diamond wire is mounted
9
The control unit is connected to the mains and the water supply.
9
The wire saw is connected to the control unit.
9
The compressor is connected to the control unit.
9
The EMERGENCY OFF control unit is deactivated.
9
The pneumatic valve is in position B.
9
The pressure regulator is set to 1 bar.
▶
Press the start push-button (lamp lights up green).
▶
Now start the cutting process by slowly turning the potentiometer clockwise
(position 1-2).
▶
Check the direction the saw wire is running while at a low wire speed. When the wire
is turning in the correct direction, the wire will be drawn over the lower swivel roller.
▶
Once the wire is tensioned, it is possible to increase the wire speed to 20-22 m/s.
▶
Increase the working pressure via the pneumatic valve until the display on the main
motor indicates 25-35 A.
INFORMATION
The machine will cut automatically when the load and wire speed have been set to an
optimum. The wire is taken up in the wire store until the stroke is completed and the
machine is turned off automatically via the safety switch. This safety function prevents
the wire tension dropping, the wire dropping out of the rollers and the machine becoming
jammed due to a lack of attention.
