Single Cut with the Specimen Positioning System with the DATUM OFF
Function
When the DATUM function is in the OFF position, the SPECIMEN QUANTITY equals the total
number of cuts.
1. Adjust the BLADE SPEED, FEED RATE, CUTTING LENGTH, SAMPLE THICKNESS, and
BLADE THICKNESS.
Press the SCROLL button until the desired parameter is highlighted and adjust the
parameter values using the INCREASE or DECREASE buttons.
2. Adjust SPECIMEN QUANTITY to 1.
3. Use the SCROLL button to scroll to the L4 Screen.
4. Press the DATUM button to the OFF position.
5. Position the specimen using any of the required chucks.
6. Use the SCROLL button to scroll to the L1 Screen.
7. Press the PUMP MOTOR button to the ON position and position the coolant flow as desired.
8. Press the CUTTING CYCLE button to the ON position. The blade will begin to rotate at the
selected speed, the coolant will begin to flow, and the automatic feed will begin to advance.
The SPECIMEN QUANTITY parameter field will display 1 of 1 as the number of cuts.
The blade advances to cut the specimen determined by the CUTTING LENGTH
parameter value. As the blade advances the numerical value on the display screen will
start to decrease.
9. When the DISTANCE REMAINING field reaches .00, the blade turret will retract, the saw will
automatically return to the SOFT HOME position and turn OFF.
SOFT HOME is the location that the blade will return to when the DISTANCE
REMAINING field reaches .00.SOFT HOME is established by positioning the specimen
and determining where the first cut is to be made.
If after the CUTTING CYCLE is completed and more cuts are desired from the remaining
specimen, re-position the specimen first before pressing the CUTTING CYCLE button to the ON
position.
If the specimen is not re-position, the blade will advance and make an “air” cut first before cutting
the specimen.
