6 ALS 4.0 P R O D U C T M A N U A L EN 2.2 Axes of Motion Refer to Figure 2 (on page 7). S Blade Motor Spins the saw blade (not shown, motor located inside enclosure) L1P Printer Motor Feeds lumber beneath the printer head and into L1 (not shown) L1 Infeed Feeds lumber and measures length L2 Outfeed Coordinates with L1 axis to feed lumber and measure length A Angle Sets the cut angle B Bevel Sets the bevel angle (optional) T Traverse Translates the saw blade across the lumber Z Vertical Raises and lowers the blade 2.3 Infeed and Outfeed System The Pushers and Clamps are sets of rollers attached to the L1 and L2 drives. These rollers help maintain control of the lumber as it moves through the saw to ensure cuts are made accurately. CLAMP PUSHER Figure 3 2.3.1 Clamp The Clamp is a set of three black urethane-coated rollers that "clamp" the lumber down onto the drive belt. The picture on the right shows the L2 Clamp, located directly above the drive belt. L1 contains an identical Clamp. 2.3.2 Pusher The Pusher is a set of small rollers that that "push" the lumber against the back fence rollers as it is fed through the saw. It is part of the L-drive assembly toward the front of the saw, as shown in the picture of L2 on the right. An identical Pusher can also be found on L1. 1.2.3 Service Requirements ! CAUTION The use of a qualified electrician is required to ensure the following service specifications are properly met. Electrical • Main Service • 220-248VAC, 100A, 3PH, 60Hz (50Hz optional) • Y-configuration preferred (delta acceptable) • Phase Voltage Imbalance – 6 V • e (Vt) – ≤ 50 Vsec @ ≤ 1 occurrence per half hour V t = V i × t Where: V t = Transient Voltage (Vsec) V i = Instantaneous Voltage (V) t = time (sec) • Secondary Service • 120 VAC, 20A, 1PH, 60 Hz (50Hz optional) • This must be a dedicated line. • Line conditioner recommended. Air • Place coalescer immediately prior to machine to insure dry, oil-free air. • Machine has a factory installed filter with pressure regulator. ! CAUTION Introduction of oil to air system will damage seals. NOTE 110 PSI is the minimum recommended pressure in the main air line. 2. Getting to Know the ALS 4.0 2.1 System Overview Figure 1 (on page 7) indicates the names of the various major components of the ALS 4.0 system. NOTE Standard infeed and small parts conveyor not shown in Figure 1.
