Setting Band Saw Arm Ascent Height; Cooling System - Pilous ARG 260 S.A.F. Instruction Manual

4.9. Setting Band Saw Arm Ascent Height

This system enables the setting of the height of the saw arm ascent just above the workpiece. It is particularly important when the
workpiece is being cut in series where it substantially reduces the cutting cycle time in comparison with the situation where the saw
arm returns to the upper position.

4.10. Cooling System

The pump and the coolant tank, which are mounted in the machine base, are the basic elements of the cooling system. You can
remove the coolant tank without the pump. The coolant pump conveys the coolant via hoses, valves and guide heads to the saw
blade. The volume of the coolant is regulated by the valves on the guide heads. The coolant cools down and lubricates the saw blade
and flushes away metal chips. The pump switches on and off when the saw blade drive is started or shut down. There is a setting
container in the coolant tank, which needs to be cleaned during regular checks depending on the material to be cut. It is important that
the pump is always immersed in the coolant that facilitates its cooling. If the level of the coolant gets too low during cutting, the
pump will be irreparably damaged.
There is an overflow opening in the coolant tank, ensuring the right volume of the coolant in order to prevent
flooding of the pump (danger of burning the pump). If you fill in too much coolant, it may leak under the saw.
When handling coolants, risks linked to hazardous substances cannot be avoided. Observe the manufacturer's
and/or your company's instructions and recommendations referring to safe coolant handling.

Settings procedure:
The arm is located in the lower end position. Loosen the
locking lever of the arm uplift selector and set the required uplift
on the setting scale (approximately 5-10 mm above the section
of the cut material) and tighten the locking lever again.
The arm is lifted above the lower end position. Switch the
machine to MANUAL mode. Switch the saw arm end stroke
switch to position 0. Press the button START DESCENT. This
opens the valve and the arm will descend to the lower end
position. Loosen the locking lever of the arm uplift selector and
set the required uplift on the setting scale (approximately 5-10
mm above the section of the cut material) and tighten the
locking lever again.
