It has acquired technological know-how, developed during years of research in strict touch with manufacturing departments and international commercialization.
The blades descent is controlled by a pneumatic system that clamps the mouldings on the working bench through a couple of cylinders. The machine is equipped with a pneumatic device that allows the blades to return upwards using low air consumption & at a quick speed.
DIMENSIONS EQUIPMENT The overall dimensions are reported on the complete drawing The following equipment refers to standard machines. of the attachment 9.2-A 2.7.1 Standard TECHNICAL DATA The machine is supplied complete with: We have indicated below the machine’s technical data and N.
IT is obtained by releasing the pushbuttons on the bed of the saw. (uncontrolled stop) STOP CATEGORY 1 Controlled stop by disconnecting the air & electric service to the machine SAFE WORKING PROCEDURES The machine is projected and realized to eliminate any risk connected with its use.
4. INSTALLATION 4.1 SHIPPING AND HANDLING The shipment must be performed by qualified technical staff. The machine has to be shipped in a safe way to avoid any damage to its parts. All the protections, guard devices and doors must be properly closed and clamped. The machine has to be shipped like positioned for installation.
PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS To install the machine it is necessary to prepare a working area adequate to the machine’s dimensions, lifting devices chosen and length of mouldings to be used. Fig. 4.3 A - minimum distances (expressed in mm) for installation A= Container of pieces to be worked B= Container of worked pieces...
ASSEMBLY The machine assembly is assembled by the customer following the instructions listed below: • Remove by using a lever (ex: a big screwdriver) the nails fastening the crate to the pallet: at this point the crate can be lifted off of the saw.
CONNECTIONS To avoid any problem during the machine’s setup, it is suggested to follow what is described below. 4.6.1 Pneumatic connection On the machine’s left side, are located the padlockable lubricator- filter (B), the pressure regulator of the clamp cylinders (C) and the flow adjuster to increase or reduce the speed of blades descent.
• The laws and the technical norms in force in the place and at the moment of installation. • The data described on the main power lockout switch & motors. • Connect the machine to the electric network & make sure that it is properly grounded. The power supply must have the following requisitions: •...
• Put the main switch on position 1, by turning it clockwise. • In the same way, turn the on/off clamp switch, placed under the main switch, on position 1. • Press the two pushbuttons simultaneously, located on the working bench to raise the blades & clamps. ADJUSTMENTS...
