Hardwood Surface Blocks

Hardwood

Surface Blocks:

Are attached to each stringer support to provide a non-marring surface for the plate stock These are replaceable as required. Note the ball transfer units recessed in between the blocks which raise plate stock for easy movement and positioning. 

Saw Components

Components :

Base Table -  Rail Beam -  Run Out Tables - Saw Blade Assembly - Motor -  Hold Down Clamp

Coolant System

The saw consist of  a base table which supports the main  rail beam that carries the saw blade assembly unit, with the motor and coolant system  mounted above.

The Run Out Table is made up of stringers in any length desired, they house a ball transfer system that is raised or lowered  by a air activated (push /pull) system, which is used to move and position plate stock for cutting.

The Motor ranging from 5 to 15 HP turns the spindle at 1700 to 2400 RPM using a belt drive from motor to the spindle.

The Hold Down Clamp device which is air operated is raised to load plate  and when lowered it adjusts to plate stock thickness while maintaining  constant hold down pressure with solid contact across the entire plate stock.

The Coolant System provides controlled supply of water soluble coolant to the cutting blade.

 

General Saw Operation

Operation:

In general, plate stock is loaded either via a overhead crane, or a forklift onto the run-out table while the Hold Down Clamp system is in the raised position.

The ball transfer system is then raised by air activated power and the plate  is moved into position by a single operator against the fence, then moved along the fence to the desired length of cut. For multiple cuts, a backgage block can be clamped onto the fence to provide a repetitive reference point.

The ball transfer system is lowered leaving the plate stock in solid contact with the non marring hardwood surface blocks.

The Hold Down Clamp is lowered, it adjusts to the thickness of the plate stock, exerting constant pressure (supplied by air) onto the plate stock  during the entire cutting operation.

The feed rate is set, the saw motor is started, and the Feed drive motor is engaged for constant feed pressure.

Once cutting is complete the blade assembly is returned to home, the hold Down Clamp is raised, the Ball Transfer System is raised  the cut plate is moved ,unloaded the remaining stock is repositioned or moved.
