ANTS MACHINE EQUIPMENT extend the service life of the saw blade, and at the same time remove the sawdust on the blade teeth to ensure its normal work. (10) Saw blade tension device Saw blade tension and blade breaking protection device: The blade tension device is installed at the back side of the idle saw wheel (at the left side of the saw frame).
ANTS MACHINE EQUIPMENT 5.2 Hydraulic system The hydraulic circuit composed of hydraulic pumps, valves, cylinders, oil tank, pipelines and other components completes the saw frame movements, the clamping of the workpiece, and the feeding of the workpiece under electrical control. The throttle valve can realize the stepless adjustment of the saw frame feeding rate, thus ensuring the sawing needs for different materials.

ANTS MACHINE EQUIPMENT 5.2 Electric system 5.2.1 Operation buttons 1. Manual and automatic switching: turn it to the left when manual operation is required, and turn it to the right when automatic operation is required. 2. Rear vise loosening or clamping: to control the feeding vises (rear vises) loosening or clamping.
ANTS MACHINE EQUIPMENT 14. Water pump switch: it can individually control the start/stop of the water pump. 15. When the switch 1 is turned to the manual mode, press button 6 and button 13 for 2 seconds at the same time, it could start the hydraulic pump. In case the touching screen is damaged, the operator could operate by buttons in this way.
