Faceplate 1.1 Intended Use The only acceptable use for the MD10D is as a length gauging system. Never place any material on the conveyor/table except the piece to be cut. Any other use is not intended and is a misuse of the gauging system.
1.4 Danger zones -The moving carrier -The area between the face plate or moving carrier and the saw, drill, puncher or any other machines These areas are always dangerous and have the potential to harm the operator or others. There are special safety precautions when working inside these areas.
2. Basic safety hints 2.1 Read and follow all hints inside the Instruction Manual Basic requirements for the correct use of the gauging system or the machine are the knowledge of the basic safety hints and the safety precautions. This instruction manual contains the most important safety hints. This instruction manual, especially the safety hints and precautions must be followed by every person working with this gauge or machine.
3. Installation Brake Handle Digital Readout Guide Rail Carriage Faceplate Setup conveyor/table (if purchased) Attach the guide rail to the conveyor/table with the supplied HDWE Slide on the carriage assembly and attach end bumper stops. **Carriage assembly may already be mounted onto guide rail.** Note: LCD displays is powered by 1 ‘C’...
3.1 Conveyor / Table Installation (optional, applicable if purchased) Assemble the conveyor legs to the appropriate height with the supplied nuts and bolts; typically the leg height is adjusted so that the height of the rollers or tabletop matches that of the machine bed of the saw, drill, etc. ...
Once rail is aligned and holes are drilled (if necessary), mount rail to conveyor/table using the supplied M8 screws, washers, and t-nuts via the t- slot of the bottom side of the guide rail. *T-nuts may already be inserted into bottom side of guide rail. MD10D Table top...
4. Basic Operation 4.1 Stop Operation Brake Handle Lock Release 4.2 Set Stop Position 1. Release brake (see above illustration) 2. Move stop to position using the digital display 3. Lock brake (see above illustration)
Maintenance jobs as described in this chapter may only be done by authorized and trained personnel. **Prior to any maintenance of the Kentucky Gauge or accessories, please ensure the machine is not in operation and corresponding equipment is in “off” position.
5.5 Cleaning the carriage Remove chips, grease and any items on the conveyor/table that would be deemed in the pathway of, or causing an unwanted obstruction of, the carriage/gang stop. This should be done several times per day if the machine is in heavy use.
6 DRO Operation Program (programming/change parameters) UP (increase value of selected digit) Shift left (select digit) Save (save data 6.1 Setting Datum (Referencing the system) By setting the datum or referencing the system, the operator is setting up the system so that the distance from the stop face to the saw blade is correctly displayed on the digital readout.
6.4 Changing from Absolute Measuring to Incremental Measuring The display can be changed from absolute measuring (unit displays actual distance from saw blade) to incremental or relative measuring (unit displays distance from last position). Pressing the P and * buttons together toggles these modes. Note: INC is shown in the display when the unit is running in incremental mode.
7. DRO Parameter Mode 7.1 Entering Parameter Mode Press P button for 3 seconds to enter setup mode. “SEtUP” will be shown in the display. Press button to enter Menu 1 (parameter mode) 7.2 Editing Parameters Press P button to select next Parameter and Parameter setting. Press * button to save entered values 7.3 How to exit Parameter Mode Press P button until you reach final parameter rESEt.
