MACHINE CONSTRUCTION & FEATURES

Machine Base - The machine base is designed and produced with electro-welded steel components for maximum rigidity and support.  A chip removal auger and removable 9-gallon coolant tank are built into the base.  Leveling bolts are located at corners of the machine. 

7.5 HP Motor -  Heavy-duty gearbox and 7.5 HP motor, which is controlled by an AC inverter drive.  Blade speed is easily adjusted from the control console and the wide range of available band speeds allows for efficient cutting of many types of material.

Blade Wheels - High quality cast iron wheels with heavy-duty wheel & gearbox shaft bearings.

Blade Guides - replaceable carbide insert guides housed in two heavy duty cast iron guide arms provide cut accuracy of    + / -   .002” per linear inch of material and excellent vibration dampening.  The hydraulically powered idler side guide arm allows for easy adjustment for proper guide arm spacing.

Powered Blade Brush - driven off the blade drive wheel keeps the blade gullets clean, helping to maximize blade performance and life.

Blade Tensioning - hydraulic blade tensioning provides consistent automatic blade tension while allowing quick and easy un-tensioning for blade changing.

Coolant System - a centrifugal pump immersed in the 9-gallon coolant reservoir delivers ample coolant flow through carbide faced and nozzle guides. Flow cocks are present for coolant quantity adjustment. 

Hydraulic System - a 3HP driven hydraulic pump supplies system pressure.  The system pressure through 3-position directional valves controls all vising, head up/down, head swing, shuttle movement, and blade tension functions The pump and motor assembly and hydraulic manifold complete with all function directional valves all swing out with the hydraulic compartment door for easy service access, and minimal downtime.

Hyd-Mech’s Direct Down feed system provides easy adjustment of both head feed rate and cutting pressure. Machine sawing chart provides proper blade speed, tooth pitch, feed rate and feed force recommendations. Saw head control includes fast approach control feature for quick set ups.  Feed rate is displayed on PLC in linear inches per minute during the sawing operation via rotary encoder.

Electrical System - the electrical control components are housed in a console in the front of the machine.  The operator manual switches and PLC control are conveniently located in the console.  Components and wiring are neatly laid out and labeled for easy troubleshooting.

Panel with Standard PLC Control including Adjustments for Head Feed Rate, Pressure and Vise Pressure Controls  - conveniently located in the front of the machine, to the right of out feeding material, the selector switches and pushbuttons allow the operator to manually control all machine functions including emergency stops. The Mitsubishi PLC 500 fully programmable controller allows for automatic production of jobs consisting of single angle parts.  Machine can automatically swing the head, alternating between two different programmed angles, producing parts with a different angle on each end. The operator enters job information through the PLC interface keypad.  The information required will be desired part length, quantity of pieces and the required angle at each end of the part.  Up to 99 different jobs can be entered into the PLC memory, and can be called up and performed at any time.   Also, a job queue function allows up to 5 jobs to be picked from the memory, and run consecutively.

In Manual mode  - the PLC displays blade speed, feed rate, angle, and length system readout     A single part operation can also be performed while in the Manual mode.  The operator simply enters the desired part length, presses the cycle start button, starts the blade, and the machine will index that length, cut it off and raise the head back up.  The  PLC 500 has an angle ‘go to’ function, which allows the operator to enter a desired angle and have the machine automatically move the head to that angle.

In Automatic mode - the PLC displays blade speed, feed rate, part length, quantity required, and number of pieces cut (And angle information with optional PLC 500)

Blade Drive -      the blade drive motor is controlled by a Mitsubishi inverter drive.  Provides smooth operation and infinite adjustment from 50 to 350 sfm.

Laser Light –    Projects a crisp line of laser light along the blade line. This feature can be used     for fast length measurements or as a cut marker.

OPTIONAL FEATURES

Full Capacity Bundling - THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS! Full Capacity Overhead Bundling - hydraulically powered overhead clamp that moves down on the material from above.  Its downward (clamping) and upward (unclamping) movement are controlled and timed with the opening and closing of the moveable vise.  Very effective, and necessary for bundle cutting various material shapes, widths & sizes. Can also be effective in dampening of cutting vibration.

Out of Stock Switch - mounted on the shuttle vise, when the vise closes and no material is between its jaws, the machine hydraulics will shut down. (The cut in progress at the time of the switch being tripped is to be finished before shut down occurs) This option allows the machine to be left unattended with no danger of the machine continuing to cycle with no material left.

Vertical Rollers - two 3” diameter rollers mounted vertically at each side of the end of machines in feed conveyor.  Assists in material alignment. 

Variable Vise Pressure - allows for adjustment of the clamping pressure of both vises.  Recommended for thin wall tubing and other light material applications where standard vise pressure may deform the material.

Digital Angle Display - console mounted digital readout display for indication of angles for head position.(Not necessary when PLC 500 option is selected as angle display is incorporated into PLC 500).

Mist Lubrication System – air mist system providing blade lubrication and cooling.  Alternative to standard flood system.
