Figure 12. PLC Control Box Cutting Speed Selection Brobo Group SA350/400 Semi-Automatic Saw comes with fully adjustable feeding speed. Feeding speed is adjusted at the Feed Rate control valve (Figure 12). The hydrocheck unit feeds at constant force hence the cutting speed will vary also according to the thickness of the cut section.
3.2. Preparation for Operation The following procedure is recommended for the correct cutting using the Brobo Group SA350/400 Semi-Automatic Saw WARNING – SAFETY GEAR Protective clothing, safety glasses and gloves should always be worn while loading parts, operating the machine, or undertaking any maintenance work on the saw.
