Hydraulic Unit; Vice Clamping Force Setting - Pilous ARG 330 SAF Instruction Manual

4.9. Hydraulic Unit

The hydraulic unit is installed in the machine base. It lifts the band saw arm, feeds the saw blade to the cut, feeds the arm to the cut
and clamps and unclamps the vice. When the MASTER SWITCH is on, the HYDRAULIC UNIT - START button serves for activating
the electrical system of the machine and at the same time for starting the hydraulic unit.

4.9.1. Vice Clamping Force Setting

The hydraulic unit is fitted with a PRESSURE REDUCTION VALVE. It enables setting the required vice clamping force
depending on the kind of the workpiece within the range:
13-35 bar for ARG 330 S.A.F., ARG 330 plus S.A.F.,
15-30 bar for ARG 380 plus S.A.F.., ARG 400 plus S.A.F., ARG 500 plus S.A.F. .
Turning the PRESSURE REDUCTION VALVE to the left reduces the pressure, while turning it to the right increases the
pressure (see picture). The specified pressure is shown on the pressure gauge.
If the pressure is set below the clamping force smaller than 13 bar (for ARG 330 S.A.F., ARG 330 plus S.A.F.) or than 15 bar (for
ARG 380 plus S.A.F.., ARG 400 plus S.A.F., ARG 500 plus S.A.F.), the safety PRESSURE CONTROLLER will not switch on and
the saw blade will not start.
