    TECHNICAL FEATURES(See FIGURE 6/7)

    All machines are provided with high precision components and are carefully assembled.Every assembling stage is repeatedly checked by a skilled staff in order to ensure a highquality standard during each cycle phase.

    The machine mainly consists of: a welded steel structure base, on which the electric systems arelocated; on the head are located the motors and the mechanisms that make the blade and thehead move.The head (of very thick aluminium casting) is guided in a precise way and without vibrations.The blade tension is manually adjustable by the blade stretcher.The blade is assembled on two well sized blade wheels and guided in the cutting area by twocouples of sliding blocks (blade guide) that are already adjusted..The cutting head forward movement is manual with spring balance.The main cutting action is made electromechanically. The main motor activates the motor bladewheel by means of a reducer. The cutting blade is started by pressing the start pushbuttonlocated on the handle.The piece forward movement must be carried out manually; it is possible to perform cuttings ofdifferent lengths on the same piece by means of a scale.FMBs.r.l. carries out all the necessary tests before delivery. Thanks to this service the sawingmachine is tested and calibrated for the type of working required.

    For technical specifications see below.

    The technical data are only indicative and they can changed without prior notice. The machineproduction speed depends not only on its configuration, but also on the blade quality and onthe material to be cut.

    Make sure the work piece is property located on the cutting table (it must be flat

    against the whole table surface).

    By means of the wheel, move the vice to the piece to be cut and firmly clamp it.

    For those models supplied with clamping/unclamping fast manual drive lever (FIGURES

    17/18/19, POS.10)the material to be cut must not be entirely clamped by the vice hand

    wheel so to allow to carry out this operation using the clamping/unclamping lever.

    Make sure that the lubrication tap located on the head is open (N.B.: some materials can

    be cut without coolant liquid use)

    WARNING

    Because of its dimensions, the cut piece might come out and/or fall in the tank closeto the vices or even fall on the ground, presenting the risk for the operator ofpersonal injury. Its consequently necessary to use a roller table (optional) on whichthe material to be cut can be safely positioned.

    To obtain angled cuts, unlock the lever and, keeping the head in position of cut end, rotateit to the right, up to the desired angled.Read the angle stated on the revolving support plate and on the reference small plate.The 0, 45 and 60 positions are provided with mechanical retainers already calibrated.Anyway it is possible to carry out possible adjustments.FOR ORION MODEL ONLY:In order to carry out cuttings inclined between 45 and 0,it is necessary, before revolving the head, to turn the two closing handles out and translate

    the moving vice unit from the left to the right side of the working surface and afterwards,block the two closing handles. For 0 to 60 cuttings follow the inverse operation.

    For a good machine operation, we recommend to keep always the blade guides clean andlubricated with cooling, lubricating fluid. A good cut can be obtained, following thefollowing instructions:

    Assemble the blade correctly, tension and release it respectively before and after use

    by means of the blade tensioner handwheel

    Know well the material to be cut.

    Adjust the cutting speed for the type of material to be cut.

    Use quality cutting blade. Use blade teeth fitted to the thickness and to the other features of the material to be cut.

    Carry out the first cuts without forcing; a new blade must be properly run in.

    Use abundant quality lubricant.

    Clean the blade guide frequently.

    Check the bearing and the carbide guide efficiency status inside the blade guides.

    The cutting forward movement depends on the above.

    We recommend the operator to act carefully.

    IMPORTANT:The distance between the carbide guide tips should range from 0,95 mm up to 1 mm

    [0,037 in up to 25.4 in]. This record can be carried out screwing and unscrewing thebearings support screw(FIGURE 20 Pos.2).

    WARNING

    During the machine use, the operator must always wear: proper protective glasses,

    ear defenders, safety shoes, specific gloves,

    BEING CAREFUL NOT TO APPROACH THE BLADE WHILE IT IS MOVING,IN ORDER TO PREVENT FROM BEING DRAGGED BY THE BLADE ITSELF.

    WARNING

    Some protection devices (ear defenders, glasses, gloves) might sometimes be dangerous(as for example gloves).According to the rules about the Safety Hygiene and Health protection at Work, the usermust take into consideration all the risks concerning and deriving from the use of themachine, included the relative and/or consequent risks.

    WARNING

    The possible risks due to the machine use (type of cut material, vapours, particular oils,

    piece falling etc.), that is all the risks and problems concerning and deriving from the useof the machine must be solved, as it is provided for the firm rules.

    WARNING

    If during the cut the blade breaks, the stretcher would not keep the sufficient blade tension.The blade would collapse at once and stop turning.The motor located on the head would keep turning, with no danger at all, until the operatorpresses the button driving the blade rotation.To keep the work cycle on, it is necessary to substitute the broken blade with a new one(see above mentioned procedure).Be particularly careful when the head guard is taken down and the blade is unthreadedfrom the blade wheels and from the head. During these operations always use protectivegloves.

    In case the blade is locked in the piece to be cut, unthread the blade first from the head asdescribed in chapter blade replacement, and then, with the help of pincers, pull theblade upwards and, at the same time , in the opposite direction than that of rotation.

    RESIDUAL RISKS

    One of the residual risks the machine may present is the high temperature of some of itscomponents (motors, bearings, hydraulic power pack, blade, etc) even after when it hasstopped working. It is therefore important, once all working operations are over, tomake sure nobody accidentally touches these parts until they have cooled to atemperature lower than 40-50C [104 122 F].

    The blade is not protected inside the cutting area: it is therefore forbidden to touch itduring operation and the user must be adequately trained for that.

    It may occur that the user touches the piece and the vice while they are clamping(only intentionally).

    According to the shape of the piece to be cut, a part of the blade can remainuncovered during the cutting phase.

    CUTTING VERY THIN, SMALL AND/OR MOULDED PIECES, A PART OF THE BLADE

    (BETWEEN THE VICE SLIDING PART AND THE MOVABLE BLADE GUIDE)

    REMAINS UNCOVERED, THOUGH THE BLADE GUIDE IS PROVIDED

    WITH A GUARD. THIS PART CAN NOT BE FURTHER REDUCED

    AND IS SIGNALLED BY MEANS OF A WARNING PLATE.

    THE OPERATOR MUST NEVER APPROACH THE BLADE, WHEN IT IS MOVING

    The coolant liquid, used to lubricate and cool the blade, may spill on the floor andcause falls. Be careful! Keep the floor clean. To avoid this risk the use of the NBoptional is suggested.

    Cooling and lubricant products if employed in the proper and correct way, do notpresent any risk for the user.

    Nevertheless, the continuous and prolonged contact with these products, if not carefullywashed away, may cause skin reddening, irritations and dermatitis

    During the blade replacement operations, the risk of abrasions may occur: wear alwaysprotective gloves and safety glasses. Do not remove the plastic protection covering theblade teeth until when the blade is not mounted on the band saw.

    The machines equipped with inverter or condenser, after switching off , may retain

    residual current: its consequently necessary to wait a few minutes before touchingelectric components.

    For machines equipped with G optional only:When machine is on, do not put the hands in the pneumatic cylinder moving areaDANGER OF LIMBS CRUSHING!A relevant plate signals this danger.

    OILS TOXICOLOGICALINFORMATION (see TABLE 14)

    All the lubricants listed below, if correctly employed, are not dangerous for the user.Nevertheless, in case of emergency, adopt the following remedies.

    OPTIONAL DESCRIPTION

    NB1NB2This band saw machine is equipped with a blade and cutting cooling device. To improve

    the cutting quality and reduce pollution risk, moreover to avoid the risk of pools of cooling

    liquid on the floor (possible cause of accidental falls) , we suggest to use the NB optional.

    A small amount of lubricant injected in a low-pressure airflow proved effective in carrying

    out high impact lubricant-coolant functions. This is obtained by means of positive

    displacement micro-pumps injecting the oil through a capillary tube to a final nozzle. At the

    same time, the low-pressure air flowing inside another tube, coaxial to the first one,

    reaches the final nozzle as well.

    The lubricant atomizes into the airflow that leads it to the desired area by means of a well-aimed spout, without producing polluting fumes.

    USE AND MAINTENANCE

    a) Steadily fasten the group close to the machine, if possible;

    b) Carefully connect the 8x6mm [5/16x15/64] air tube, with the 2,5x1,5mm

    [3/32x1/16] capillary oil tube inside, (see further on). Check the proper

    deformation of the sealing bicones.

    FIGURE 25

    c) Fill the tank with clean new oil. Only use oils with 100cStoke/40C max. viscosity

    [100cStoke/104F] , not aggressive with regards to nylon tubes and rubber and

    Vitonseals.

    d) Beware of compounded oils containing chlorine. Chlorinated oils etch polymers

    (rubbers and thermoplastics).

    e) Carry out the compressed air connection from the network to the input filter,

    ensuring a 4 to 6 bar pressure [58 to 87 PSI].

    WARNINGIt is quite normal to experience a slight leakage from the rod and piston seals

    and this may eventually drain the regulator. Periodically check that the level

    indicator (when unit is in retracted position) is at least 5mm from the face of the

    reserve tank. To refill inject class H hydraulic oil into the inlet valve marked

    OIL. Using the correct syringe any excess oil will discharge automatically from

    a small hole in the side of the main reservoir body.

    V

    The blade rotation speed is proportional to the material toughness; this means that the

    tougher the material is, the slower the blade rotation should be (See TABLE 7/8). The

    standard machine is equipped with only two speeds; the slow one, if constantly used , may

    cause the motor fall down because of the not sufficient blade motor cooling ventilation.

    The V speed variator allows to constantly range the rotation blade speed from 20 to

    100m /1 [3940 to 19685 foot/hour]so giving the opportunity to choose the most suitable

    speed without causing any problem to the blade motor.

    VARMEC variators are built on the principle of the transmission of force by dry friction

    between a friction cone and a friction ring on a shaft with two moving parts along the axis

    (See FIGURE37).

    The force of pressure between the friction cone and the ring is generated by the thrust

    given by a dovetail coupling depending on the couple drawn on the output shaft. A spring

    between the friction ring and the output shaft maintains a slight contact pressure between

    the two elements when the machine is used unload, hence the possibility to adjust the speed

    from standstill.

    The speed is regulated gradually and continuously thanks to the control wheel which moves the

    friction cone along the radius of the friction ring by means of the pinion coupling and rack.

    The usual speed variation range is 1:5; this can be increased using twin-polarity motors.

    The adjustment pinion can be moved using the handwheel.

    ISTRUCTION FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE

    a) When installing, check that the main voltage corresponds to that shown on the ratingplate (FIGURE 5,POS.5). We remind you that is compulsory the use of a protection device.

    b) The motor variator must be mounted in the specific position for which it has been ordered:call the supplier for advice if this is not the case.

    c) If the motor variator is intended for use in dusty or humid conditions, you will need to fit aprotection cover.

    d) The variators are supplied complete with lubricant and have already had a short

    running-in period. However, we recommend that you do not use the variator withmaximum loads during the first 20/30 hours of operation.

    e) The variators are supplied complete with lubricant and have already had a shortrunning-in period. However, we recommend that you do not use the variator withmaximum loads during the first 20/30 hours of operation. If using solvents, make surethat these do not come into contact with the lips of the oil seal. All output shafts have athreaded hole on the top, for use in fitting the drive elements. Do not key on the drivepulleys, frictions, pinions and so on by hammering as this is likely to affect the variatoroutput shaft, so damaging the bearings and graphite ring in variators. Loosely mount allthe components on the shaft, applying only enough manual pressure to mount them or bytightening a washer screw at the top of the output shaft.

    f)

    If the variator keeps slipping, these are the possible causes:

  • 7/23/2019 manual Olimpus.pdf

    51/64

    Saw Blade Machine

    MMAANNUUAALLSSEERRIIEESS 54

    check that the friction ring is not worn down to its

    metal support. If so, replace it;

    check that the graphite ring and the friction cone are

    not greasy. If so, clean them with a clean cloth,

    slightly soaked in trichlorethylene;

    momentary overloading from a possible blockage in the

    driven machine can cause knocking from spalling or

    partial dipping of the friction wheel. Small grooves maydisappear by themselves. If noise continues, the friction

    ring should be replaced (before doing this, check with

    our technical department).

    FIGURE 38

    g) If the number of output revolutions happens to vary by itself, i.e. without your giving aspecific command, you will need to tighten the screw (POS.2,FIGURE 38)which adjusts the

    correct friction of the control wheel.h) The motor variator can function with either clockwise or anti-clockwise rotation, and you

    SUGGESTIONS

    A constant cleaning of the sawing machine is necessary to obtain a good performance.

    In addition to what has been previously said above about the correct use of the machine,follow the instructions below:

    Act on the head limit switch nut, when the blade dimensions must be modified; inparticular as for the different range of heights available on the market.

    The sawing machine blade is provided with protective guards; anyway there is anarea, which is not protected and is particularly dangerous for the hands; this area islocated behind the vice and it is signalled by the proper pictogram, be particularlycareful and adopt all the precautions.

    The machine must be provided with proper rollers according to the dimensions of the

    material to be cut. Position a suitable container, collecting the cooling and lubricating fluid, at the end of

    the rollers.

    Adopt all the necessary precautions in order to avoid that any projection of cutmaterials can cause injury for the user or for other people near the machine.

    NEVER DISABLE the safety micro switch of the blade cover.

    It is strictly forbidden to change, tamper with and/or remove the plates fixed on themachine.

    ALL THE AREA NEAR THE BLADE IS DANGEROUS WHEN THE BLADE IS MOVING.ONCE THE CYCLE HAS STARTED, THE OPERATOR MUST BE PARTICULARLY CAREFULNEVER TO APPROACH THE BLADE WITH THE LIMBS (HE SHOULD NOT ALLOW

    ANYONE TO APPROACH TOO).

    GREASING

    The machine mobile parts are equipped withsome lubricators allowing a precise lubrication ofall components.After about 500 working hours the blade wheelbearings must be greased.

    All the bearings assembled on the machine are already lubricated with an

    appropriate quantity of grease to protect the internal parts and to prevent anydust and humidity intrusion.Be careful not to put too much grease since this can cause some mechanicaldeformations to the seals. Lubricate not only the blade wheel bearings but alsothe roller slide ways by means of a brush.
