Commissioning; Security Check; Cutting Procedure - Pilous ARG 330 SAF Instruction Manual

5. Commissioning

5.1. Security Check

Is everything in perfect condition with regard to safety and technical condition?
Are all protective devices mounted properly?

5.2. Cutting Procedure

Danger of injury!
No cover on the saw blade in the cutting area!
High risk of injury in the operating area of the blade!
1) Release the arm in the band saw ARG 380, 400, 500 plus S.A.F. (see section 3.5.)
2) The TOTAL STOP button is unlocked. Turn on the POWERSWITCH. The operation system turns on the control panel display. A
yellow screen will appear, showing: "Close the arm cover, unlock the TOTAL STOP and press the yellow-lit SAFETY button". Press
the SAFETY button.
3) The MAIN MENU will initialize. Turn on the HYDRAULIC UNIT START
4) Select the MANUAL MODE
MANUAL MODE
5) You have selected the MANUAL MODE.
6) Switch the saw arm end stroke switch to position 0. Keep raising the arm into the upper position
MODE) so that the saw blade is above the cut material. Meanwhile, the display (see section 4.1. MANUAL MODE) shows the current
position of the blade over the bearing surface. Stop the lifting.
If the arm is unnecessarily high, bring the arm down
and shut off the CONTROL VALVE.
7) Open the vice (see section 4.4.).
8) Insert the workpiece and set the desired cut length.
9) Clamp the vice.
10) In ARG 330, move the movable bar in a way that allows moving the guide head towards the cut workpiece to the distance of 30-50
mm.
11) Make sure the control valve is closed.
12) Turn on the SAW BLADE START, which will start the saw blade. Set the desired saw blade speed by a SAW BLADE SPEED
CONTROLLER.
13) Start the arm descent.
14) Set the optimum arm descent to the cut speed by gradual loosening of the CONTROL VALVE and carry out the cutting.
15) Lift the arm into the upper position
16) Open the vice.
17) Insert a new workpiece, or move the current one.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE
5) You selected the SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE
6) By editing the value, you set the height of the uplift into the upper position in order to bring the blade above the cut material. You can
edit it repeatedly, but only as regards the upper position. The ARM STROKE LIMIT SWITCH must be in position 1.
7) Lock the CONTROL VALVE.
8) Open the vice.
9) Insert the workpiece and set the desired cut length.
10) Clamp the vice. Clamping the vice is not entirely necessary. If you clamp the workpiece and execute the cutting cycle, the
cutting will be carried out and the workpiece will remain clamped. If you do not clamp the workpiece and execute the cutting cycle, the
automatic workpiece clamping will occur and after the final cut, the vice will unclamp automatically.
11) In ARG 330, move the movable bar in a way that allows moving the guide head towards the cut workpiece to the distance of 30-50
mm.
12) Make sure the control valve is closed.
13) Start the cycle by the SAW BLADE START button to start both the saw blade and the arm descent (possibly also the workpiece
clamping, see the point 10). Set the desired saw blade speed by a SAW BLADE SPEED CONTROLLER.
14) Set the optimum arm descent to the cut speed by gradual loosening of the CONTROL VALVE and carry out the cutting.
15) If you wish to keep the arm in the lower position after the cutting has been finished, switch the ARM END STROKE SWITCH into
position 0 or into position 1, if you wish to move the arm into the upper position (adjustable height).
16) Insert a new workpiece, or move the current one.
, or SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE
and control the descent speed by a control valve. Stop the descent
, or use the ARM END STROKE SWITCH 0->1.
