    seCTIOn 2 - OPeRATInG InsTRUCTIOns This section has been prepared to give the operator the ability to set up the saw for most cutting situations. Before cutting any material, the operator should be familiar with all operations and controls as well as the basic cutting theory described below.

  • Page 22: Plc 100 Control System

    PlC 100 COnTROl sYsTeM OPERATION OVERVIEW The PLC is a programmable logic controller that allows the operator to run the machine in both manual and automatic modes. All of the machine functions are also controlled from the PLC operator interface. There are four function buttons on either side and eight function buttons below the display.

The PLC operator interface is used in all four operating modes: 1. Manual Mode – permits the operator to control all machine functions using the pushbuttons, as well as the operator interface function keys.

  • Page 28: Working With A Queue

    WORKInG WITH A QUeUe The purpose of a QUEUE is to allow the operator to run several jobs (maximum of 5) in series if they are of the same material and shape. To run a QUEUE, it is necessary to program in all job values as is done with programming a single job. After the jobs are programmed in, press QUEUE, press CLEAR to clear the QUEUE, and enter the desired JOB #’s in the desired sequence.

  • Page 29: Hydraulic Feed Control

    HYDRAUlIC feeD COnTROl The hydraulic feed control is mounted on the front of the machine. The FEED RATE VALVE (FRV) sets the maximum feed rate when the blade encounters little or no resistance, as when cutting thin cross-sections, or falling freely without any work piece. The FEED FORCE VAVLE (FFV) sets the degree of slow down as the blade encounters resistance from the work piece.

  • Page 30: Cutting Parameters Chart

    CUTTInG PARAMeTeRs CHART A full size CUTTING PARAMETERS CHART is mounted on the idler door of the saw. The chart contains five steps for the operator to follow in order to achieve optimum performance of the saw. Examples of the correct use of this chart are on the following pages.
  • Page 31 STEP 2 - SET FEED FORCE LIMIT The Feed Force Value was originally developed as a means to limit maximum feed force, to prevent crooked cuts, espe- cially in wide materials. While it is possible to set the Feed Force Limit low enough that a dull blade would just stall and rub against the work piece, this may result in sluggish feeding.
  • Page 32 STEP 4 - DETERMINE OPTIMUM BLADE SPEED, V (ft./min/) (m/min.) The relationship between optimum blade speed and effective material width for various materials is represented on the graph shown. The graph shows that as effective material width gets wider or as material gets harder, lower blade speeds are recom- mended.

  • Page 34 Feed Rate for Blade Pitches Other than Optimum Pitch If the saw is fitted with a blade coarser than optimum (e.g. 1.4/2.5 TPI) we can still use the graph, but we go to the 1.4/2.5 curve. As a result we find that the FEED RATE is decreased to 1.3 in/min (133mm/min) for this blade. If however, the machine is fitted with a finer than optimum blade (e.g.
  • Page 35 MeCHAnICAl COnTROls Chip Auger Throttle A throttle valve is provided to permit regulation of chip auger speed. Speed should be between 7 to 10 rpm. Speeds below 5 rpm may result in stalling of the auger. Never adjust the auger speed with the auger running. Always turn the hydraulic pump off before adjusting auger speed, because the auger starts automatically with the head feed.
