15.11- AUTOMATIC CYCLE
Setting up the cutting length is the only step which can’t be made by using the control panel, all other
operations can be programmed thanks to the keyboard. – picture RI0055. Choose the blade speed using the
buttons (-1) and (+2) – Pos. 11,13/RI0055) and the blade working modality which can be:
F1 on = the blade runs while the material is forwarded (recommended when the cutting very short lengths):
push the button F1 – 26/RI0055 – to turn on the corresponding led.
F2 off = the blade stops while the material is forwarded (recommended when cutting longer cutting lengths –
it allows to get a longer blade life): push the button F1 – 26/RI0055 – to turn off the corresponding led.
Set up the saw for the automatic cycle, by pushing at the same time the buttons TEST (4/RI0055) and
F3 (25/RI0055). The led by the button F3 flashes when the machine is in automatic mode. To go back
to the semiautomatic cycle, use the same combination of buttons until the same led doesn’t flash anymore.
*Select the number of cuts to make: while pushing F2 (27/RI0055), push repeatedly the buttons
13,14/RI0055 to increase or 11,15/RI0055 to reduce such number, which appears on the display – from 1 up
to 9999. When releasing F2, the number is memorized.
*Select the feeder strokes: while pushing F1 (26/RI0055), push repeatedly the buttons 13,14/RI0055 to
increase or 11,15/RI0055 to reduce the number, which appears on the display – from 1 up to 29. When
releasing F1, the number is memorized.
*Reset the piece counter: while pushing F3 (25/RI0055), push the button 12/RI0055. When releasing it,
the piece counter is set to zero.
* Push the Start button I (20/RI0055): the feeder moves to the required position, both vices close, the led
by the button I (20/RI0055) flashes, signaling that the automatic cycle can begin (STAND-BY).
* The automatic cycle starts by pushing again the button I (20/RI0055). The electronic driver makes a
self-checking, and in case the aforementioned operations have not been properly carried out the cycle does
not begin and an error message appears on the display. The reason of the problem has to be removed to
start the automatic cycle.
DURING THE AUTOMATIC CUTTING CYCLE THE PRESENCE OF THE USER IS NOT REQUIRED AND
