Wellsaw 1316S-Auto - Manual (Page 17)

Automatic operation is simple to set up and easy to start.
The following is in addition to the manual operation of the
machine and describes all of the factors for successful
operation. The Quick Start Guide also contains the basic
procedures for automatic operation. Automatic mode can be
started in “Single Length”, “Quick Job” or “Multiple Job”. The
Automatic startup is the same for single and multiple length
cutting.
1. The blade speed should be known before attempting to
cut any material. Consult the chart in this manual or the
blade supplier for this number.
2. Set both vises approximately 1/8 inch away from the
material while they are in the “open” position.
3. Set the cutting head height so the head stops approxi-
mately 1/4 inch above the material.
4. Move the material under the blade manually or by
clamping the barfeed vise and using the barfeed in
manual mode to move the material and then clamp the
saw vise. The barfeed vise can be open or closed when
starting in auto. The position of the barfeed can be any-
where between 0 and the cut length to start in auto.
5. For a single length, enter the cut length desired in
LENGTH =. Enter the “QUANTITY” if only a certain
number of parts are to be cut. I the machine is to cut
the current length until it runs out of stock, leave the
QUANTITY = 0.
6. Set the cutting force and cutting head feed rate control
to the desired value.
7. Set the cutting pressure low (30-40) and the feed rate
low (2-4) if you do not know where to start.
8. Next, to begin cutting automatically, Start the saw
blade, push the “AUTO” button (Red light should come
on next to the auto button showing the machine is in
auto mode) and then push the “HEAD LOWER/ CYCLE
START” button. The machine will begin to make the trim
cut and the barfeed will move to the cut length position
and clamp the material.
9. The machine can be cycle stopped by pushing the auto
button again (which puts the machine in manual mode,
red light). Immediate stop can be made by pushing the
“HEAD RAISE” BUTTON. The machine will also stop
if it runs out of stock or the “QUANTITY” number has
been cut.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
MANUAL OPERATION
After reviewing the push buttton descriptions and the cutting
saw controls in the main saw operation manual, a manual
machine movement or part cut can be made.
A manual cut can be made by simply:
1. Clamping the part in the saw vise.
2. Adjusting the cutting force if necessary.
3. Closing the cutting head approach valve by rotationg it
clockwise to zero.
4. Starting the blade and adjusting the speed for the mate-
rial to be cut.
5. Pushing the head lower push button.
6. Slowly opening the cutting head approach valve so the
cutting head begins to lower and cut the material.
After the cut is complete, the blade will stop and the cutting
head will raise.
Steps 2,4 & 6 can be omitted when the operator becomes
profi cient and the material is the same as previously cut.
