Variable Vise Pressure Knob
This knob is used to adjust the force applied to the work piece by the vises and bundling clamps. Lower force can avoid
deforming the work piece when cutting light structurals and tubes. Clockwise knob rotation increases clamping force. The
adjustment range is as follows.
Limit Gauge Indication Vise Force Clamp Force
Maximum 600 psi 1800 lbs 450 lbs
Minimum * 200 psi 600 lbs 150 lbs
* Lower pressure may result in erratic vise movement.
Chip Auger Throttle
A throttle valve is provided to permit regulation of chip auger speed. Speed should be between 7 to 10 rpm. Speeds below
5 rpm may result in stalling of the auger. Never adjust the auger speed with the auger running. Always turn the hydraulic
pump off before adjusting auger speed, because the auger starts automatically with the head feed.
MECHANICAL CONTROLS
Out-of-stock Collar
The collar is located on the lower guide shaft of the Shuttle Vise, and is locked in position by a brass thumbscrew. The
action of the collar is to trip a limit switch and shut down the saw when the shuttle
vise closes without encountering a work piece.
The Out-of stock collar must be reset for each new work piece width.
Proceed as follows:
• Loosen the thumbscrew, move the collar to the outer end of the shaft,
and re-tighten.
• Start the saw and clamp the Shuttle Vise on the work piece.
• Loosen the thumbscrew, move the collar in until it just touches the limit
switch, and re-tighten.
If the Out-of stock limit switch is tripped during any automatic cycle, the cycle
is halted when the saw is shut down. However, the PLC retains all job and que
information, including quantities cut, so that when the cycle is manually restarted,
it will continue from the same point.
