25 ALS 4.0 P R O D U C T M A N U A L EN When the job used in this example is cut, the 20 ft. 2x4 SP SS boards will be cut first as they are first on the pick list. The saw computer will continue to ask for this size and grade lumber until all 13 boards are cut into the required truss components. At this point the saw computer will ask for the next grade and size lumber listed on the pick list which has been sorted from highest to lowest grade lumber. 3.9 Additional Options: The options defined below can be found on Figure 31 in Dimensions-Quantities (Section 3.5.3). They are listed to increase familiarity with their purpose. Please heed the caution statement below before changing the default values. ! CAUTION The following options are used in troubleshooting situations. They should only be changed from their default values per instruction from Alpine Equipment Customer Service. • Quick Camber Adj. – Adjustment input for components where the camber is known • Non-Optimize Look Ahead – Refer to section 3.8.5 • Max Pieces Per Stock – Limits the number of pieces placed on each board • Trailing Dbl. Cut Spacing – Spacing between pieces following double cut trailing end • L1 Grip Distance – Distance from L1 to blade • Minimum Transfer Length – Minimum length to transfer control from L1 to L2 • Minimum 4+ Cut Piece – Shortest 4 cut piece length • No Ejection Max Length – Length that will drop onto waste conveyor • Backfeed Eject Max Length – Maximum Length of piece that will be sent to small piece conveyor instead of the waste conveyor • Return Waste Length – Minimum length of pieces to be sent to the waste conveyor NOTE The waste shift options listed below are used for troubleshooting and should only be adjusted with the assistance of Alpine Equipment Customer Service. • Waste Shift Length – Length (in decimal feet) to transfer to front of stock piece when making squaring cut on the board Figure 47 6. Now, click or touch Create Pick List in AUTO (circled in Figure 47). 7. The Pick List will overlay the Piece Select Screen shown in Figure 48. 8 Figure 48 NOTE This list can be printed and used to pick lumber in the yard. 8. Most of the material required on this example list (Number 8 on Figure 48) is 2x4 SP #1 and SP #2 in 14 and 20 foot length. In this case it would be advantageous to store one bunk of each grade of lumber at the saw. Other sizes and grades required for the job should be picked before cutting is started. The pick list not only shows the required lumber, but also the order in which it is required. ! CAUTION It is very important that this order be maintained in the picked lumber as no pieces requiring high grade lumber will ever be placed on lower grade lumber.
