    FOUNDATION, LEVELLING AND ANCHORING The machine location should be carefully selected. A flat concrete floor area should be chosen. It should have enough free space surrounding the machine to enable free access for safe operation and maintenance. The machine must be leveled in both directions i.e. along and across its in-feed conveyor especially when machine is to be inserted into a larger conveyor system.
  • Page 17: Barfeed Installation

    BARFEED INSTALLATION The H28A 120 machine is calibrated, adjusted, leveled, and inspected in the factory before shipping. The machine is partially disassembled for shipping purposes. The two main parts of the machine are the front section and the conveyor section. The installation consists of the following sections: 1.
  • Page 18 2 Bolts As mentioned earlier, the conveyor should be leveled in both directions (page 1.2); across and along the infeed conveyor. Six leveling screws are provided, three down each length of the conveyor. Steel plates are to be placed under each screw to prevent their sinking into the concrete floor.
  • Page 19 To safely ship the conveyor, weldments and brackets are added to secure the conveyor to its base and to prevent the shuttle from moving. Once the conveyor has been leveled to the bandsaw, remove supports. A shuttle support bracket must be removed in-order for the shuttle to move. The bracket is located on the same side as the shuttle gearmotor assembly.
  • Page 20: Cable Tray Covers

    CABLE TRAY COVERS Remove the three cable covers that line the barfeed table. Unpack and unravel the cable track holding the wires and hoses for the barfeed shuttle. Once all cables/hoses have been connected, re-install cable tray covers and bolts. Fasten the two brackets that will hold the cable track in place.

  • Page 29: Section 2 - Operating Instructions

    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 30: 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.
  • Page 31 NOTE: If an emergency situation arises during any operation, use the large red mushroom EMERGENCY STOP button located on the control panel to shut down the machine. 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 32: Manual Mode

    SERVICE MODE The SERVICE MODE allows the user to adjust the various PLC parameters. The user will be prompted for a password. Contact Hyd-Mech Group Limited to access this mode. MANUAL MODE Pressing this key will put the saw in MANUAL MODE.
  • Page 33 PLC Operator Interface and Labeled Buttons MANUAL MODE MANUAL MODE is the default mode. All functions are enabled when in MANUAL MODE. The screen will look as follows:...
  • Page 34: Single Cut Mode Operation

    SINGLE CUT MODE OPERATION In MANUAL mode, the PLC allows the operator to initiate a SINGLE CUT MODE to cut one piece at a desired length. Closing the front vise automatically initiates Single Cut Mode. Follow the procedure below. 1. A trim cut should be made before initiating the SINGLE CUT MODE operation 2.
  • Page 35: Automatic Operation

    AUTOMATIC OPERATION To enter AUTO MODE, the FIXED VISE must be closed, putting the saw in SINGLE CUT MODE. When the AUTO MODE key is pressed, the red indicator will come on. The screen will change to the JOB display window as shown below and will be ready for editing or starting a new job.
  • Page 36: 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 37: Parameters

    PARAMETERS The parameters can be accessed by pressing the ser- vice mode button on the panel. These parameters can be changed without a password.

  • Page 42 STEP 3: DETERMINE OPTIMUM BLADE PITCH - TEETH PER INCH (T.P.I.) Selecting a blade with proper tooth pitch is important in order to achieve optimal cutting rates and good blade life. For cutting narrow or thin wall structural materials a fine blade with many teeth per inch (T.P.I.) is recommended. For wide materials a blade with a coarse pitch should be used.
  • Page 43 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 44 The following table gives examples of the optimum blade speeds for different materials. MATERIALS OPTIMUM BLADE SPEED (ft/min) (m/min) 5” (125mm) Diameter Solid Carbon Steel 12” (300mm) I-Beam 4” x 4” (100mm x 100mm) Rect. Tube 1/4” (6mm) Wall 4” (100mm) 400 Stainless Steel 2”...
  • Page 45 FEED RATE, continued 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.

    GEARBOX LUBRICATION (H28A WITH A603 GEARBOX) The H28A-120 with the A603 gearbox requires 15 litres (3.96 US gallons) of Mobil SHC 634 synthetic oil.. This oil has an ISO Viscosity Grade of 220 that is optimum for ambient temperatures from 20-40 Deg C [70-104 Deg F]. If the machine will be operated for prolonged periods at ambient temperatures below 20 Deg C [70 Deg F] an oil of ISO Viscosity Grade 150 should be substituted.
  • Page 54: Output Shaft Lubrication

    OUTPUT SHAFT LUBRICATION Always follow Lock-out Procedures before performing this lubrication. Band tension load is carried by a grease lubricated spherical bearing. A grease fit- ting is accessible through the spokes of the blade wheel, as shown at point G in the accompanying illustration.
  • Page 55: Lubrication

    LUBRICATION The design of the saw is intended to minimize maintenance, although periodically certain moving parts do require lubrica- tion. We recommend that this periodic lubrication be done once a month using any general-purpose grease.

  • Page 62: Plc Troubleshooting

    PLC TROUBLESHOOTING Problem 1 (for automatic models with a shuttle) PLC is not measuring lengths Possible causes: 1. Encoder a. Pinion gear is loose on the encoder shaft b. A bad encoder 2. Encoder Cable a. Bad connections at the encoder or the PLC b.
  • Page 63 Problem 2 (for automatic models with a shuttle) Inaccurate Lengths in Auto Mode Possible Causes: 1. Encoder a. Pinion not engaging the rack all the way from front to back. b. Mechanical interference. c. Pinion loose on the encoder shaft. 2.
  • Page 64 If the display does not read as specified: - Check the encoder pinion gear to be sure it can run smoothly down the rack and that the gear and rack teeth engage over the entire travel of the shuttle. - Check that the pinion gear is tight on the encoder shaft. - Check the encoders cable connections, a loose connection could easily cause this concern.
  • Page 65 GENERAL RULE: Lowering the parameter value = longer shuttle travel = longer parts Increasing the value = shorter shuttle travel = shorter parts Problem 3 (for P Models, disregard all references to a shuttle) Auto Cycle Not Being Completed In auto mode, the PLC controls the saw functions through output relays. For a certain function to be actuated, the PLC must first see specific input(s).
  • Page 66 As mentioned, beside each input and output terminal there is a bank of red LED’s. Each light corresponds to an input or output. An input LED will light when it’s specific input signal is being received at the PLC and output LED’s will light when the PLC commands specific outputs.
