Adjusting Flow Rate Of Cutting Fluid; Loading Work - Amada vm Series Operator's Manual

Adjusting flow rate of cutting fluid

Loading work

When the BLADE START button or CUTTING FLUID button is pressed,
the cutting fluid pump starts, and the cutting fluid discharges through
each nozzle.
Adjust the flow rate of the cutting fluid to suit the material type and size
of work to be cut and the cutting rate.
Three cock levers for adjusting the flow rate are located near the
stairway of the bed.
The lever 1 adjusts the flow
rate through the upper saw
blade guide nozzle.
The lever 2 adjusts the flow
rate through the lower saw
blade guide nozzle.
Turn the lever 3 to the left
to supply the cutting fluid to
the upper and lower saw
blade guide nozzles. Turn
the lever 3 the right to
supply the cutting fluid to
the cleaning hose nozzle.
Lift the work with a crane or forklift truck, and gently place it on the table
while taking care not to shock the machine.
When the machine is equipped with the laser beam unit (option), press
the LASER BEAM ON button (option) to turn on the laser beam for
positioning the work at a scribed line. (The laser beam automatically
turns off 5 min later.)
After positioning the work, clamp the work with the optional clamping
kits or other fixtures.
WARNING
NOTICE
Unless securely clamped, the work may vibrate during cutting or may not be
cut straight. Be sure to securely clamp the work.
If the fixtures are higher than the work, fully check that they do not touch the
machine (e.g., driven wheel cover or upper saw blade guide).
