110 volt electric foot switch is used instead of pneumatic foot switches
No compressed air consumption
Less maintenance and more reliable than pneumatic foot switches
Solenoid Pneumatic Valve
110 volt solenoid controlled pneumatic valve
Very reliable and less moving parts than pnuematic controlled valves
The pneumatic mufflers mounted on this valve set are for a maximum cycle speed of 90 cycles per minute.
This can easily be changed via the pneumatic mufflers to decrease individually the up and down cycle speeds.
This style of valve makes it easy to integrate an automated pusher system to this saw. Every manufacturer of automated pusher systems
has their own requirements. As standard equipment on this saw, we have switches for confimation of piston location of the cylinder and
a pneumatic solenoid valve for them to connect to for integration to pneumatic this saw.
Pneumatic Cylinder
A high quality tie-rod style designed cylinder is used.
Pneumatic integrated cushions on the top and bottom of the cylinder. The cushioned cylinder decreases the pounding of the cylinder as
it reaches the end of its' stroke. This increases the life of the cylinder. This makes the saw run smoother than normal pneumatic cut
off saws which relates to a better quality cut.
A large 1" diameter rod is used to increase the longevity of the cylinder.
The cylinder is assembled with Magnalub-G Teflon based grease. When lubrication is not used in the FLR, the lief of the cylinder, per
the manufacturer, is 50 million strokes. This relates to less time to maintain the operation of this saw.
Reed switches are mounted on the top and bottom of the cylinder. The reed switdches read the position of the piston head. These
electrical switches are more reliable and require less maintenance than pneumatic switches.
The industry's most durable and smoothest operating cut-off saw
