Close the safety guard then turn on the power to the machine. Close the head feed control knob to the “0” setting. ( 370PP Place the Automatic / Semi-Automatic switch in the Semi-Auto mode The hand symbol). Make sure head is in the up position (making contact with the upper parameter limit, this limit is the bottom one). Place the speed selector switch on either “1” or “2”.
Spindle speeds The larger or harder the material the slower the speed. The thinner or softer the material the faster the spindle speed. Example: 3" Solid cold rolled 25 RPM 2" Solid stainless 25 RPM 2" X 1/8" wall tubing 50 RPM 2" Solid aluminum 50 RPM Blade Selection For Non-Ferrous Cutting Head Same rules apply as with the Ferrous cutting head. Your selection of teeth configurations are more limited with carbide. For solid material from 2" to 4" (non ferrous) a 14" X 60 tooth blade is recommended.
BLADE SELECTION FOR NON-FERROUS HEAD Proper Blade Selection 370 Non-Ferrous Same rules apply as with the ferrous head in selecting the "Right Blade for the Material". The larger the part the more coarse teeth. The smaller or thinner the part, the more fine the teeth. An improper blade will sacrifice the cut safety and blade life Although the selection of teeth configurations, are more limited with carbide, here is a brief description of blade recommendations for certain size materials. 1.
Different blade types There are many different grinds for carbide. Positive pitch and negative pitch. You may select a positive pitch blade for more aggressive cutting. A negative pitch for the more thin material. Also, different thicknesses for the blade are available. The same rule applies here as for the Ferrous head, that high speed steel blade are available for the non-ferrous cutting head. These blades may work better for some applications. And are normally run at the 1500 rpm setting.
SETTING THE HEAD PARAMETERS Warning!!!!! Never depress the limit switches with your finger. Your finger could be crushed or amputated between the limit switch and cam block. Setting the head parameters This is quite simple and very dependable method of reducing “dead air” cutting. The above graphic illustrates the four basic parts of the head positioning system. A is the lower limit, adjustable cam block. B. is the machined T-slot way that the cams move vertically in. C.
feed flow control valve to stop the head just above the material. Never have the blade adjusted closer than ½” to the material to allow proper clearance. 5. After stopping the head, loosen the upper head setting cam. (the cam block on the bottom) Now raise this cam up to where it just touches the limit switch without depressing the limit switch button. Securely tighten this cam down.
The air pressure can also be reduced by turning the main incoming air regulator down. Turning this down will also slow the operation of the machine. WARNING!!!!! BE SURE CAM IS TIGHT; DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR Warning!!!!! Never depress the limit switches with your finger. Your finger could be crushed or amputated between the limit switch and cam block.
Loosen this handle and position it in an upwards position so it will not hit the casting while you rotate the head. With the handle loose turn the cutting head, using the rotation handle, to the angle needed, and lock down tightly when the angle is set. WARNING!!!!! HEAD MUST BE LOCKED IN POSITION, MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. There are preset stops at 90 and 45 degrees. Remove the positive stop on the left hand side of the cutting head to go beyond 45 degrees.
This adjustment is necessary when ever a different blade size is used on the machine. With a different blade size the center line of the blade will change. By adjusting this rear vise you may also achieve a more or less aggressive cut position. NOTE: When ever the rear vise is moved the feeder vise must also be adjusted, on the 370 PP. VERTICAL HOLD DOWN VISE EUROMATIC 370 PP Your machine may be equipped with a vertical hold down vise.
WARNING!!!!! DO NOT LET THE FEEDER VISE HIT THE VERTICAL HOLD DOWN DURING THE FEED CYCLE, THIS MAY CAUSE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE VERTICAL HOLD DOWN. ALWAYS CENTER THE HOLD DOWN FOOT IN-BETWEEN THE FEEDER VISE JAWS! HEAD DOWN FEED REGULATOR EUROMATIC 370 PP Your 370 PP may be equipped with the head feed regulator feature. This feature allows you to control the head feed pressure for cutting tubes and structural steel, at a faster rate.
SETTING THE BLADE PROTECTOR PARAMETERS 370PP CONTROL FUNCTIONS A. This scale shows the actual amps being drawn by the motor, during operation via LEDS. B. This scale allows you to program shut off amps. Wet approx. 2 amps higher than the freewheeling amps. (amp draw while machine is running, but not cutting) C. Write in area for recording parameters such as min. amp draw, blade shut off setting, max. Amp draws during cutting cycle and average constant amp draw. D. Test switch, for testing the scales LED’s.
On occasion you may need to recalibrate your blade protection device. Common problems that may create the need for recalibration may be. A: Low incoming voltage. When your incoming voltage is below the specified machine voltage, your amps being consumed by the machine will increase. This will not effect the operation of the machine, but it may cause the blade protection device to activate premature. B: Voltage fluctuation of incoming power. Warning signs of the need to recalibrate will be.
Warning!!!! The feeder vise must be placed in the forward position (This switch is located on the far right hand side of the lower control panel) Loosen the lock handle located by the bearing support. See Figure 1 below. Turning the feeder vise hand wheel in a counter clockwise direction, “dead head” the feeder vise against the screws end limit. The digital counter can now be set at zero with the feeder vise “dead headed” loosen the set screw in the collar of the counter.
Figure 2 Set screw Figure 3 EXAMPLE: The thickness of the blade you are using is .098. The counter is zeroed out. This will become your true zero point of the feeder. If the length of the part you cut is 10”, the feeder will feed the part 10.098” The counter will have a negative number of -.098. Note: The length of cut is figured from the right hand side of the blade. If you now “dead head” the feeder you will have a negative number -.098.
PROGRAMMING FOR MULTIPLE INDEXING A: Three things that must be determined before programming for multiple indexing. 1. Length of cut needed. How many equal strokes must be carried out to achieve this length Example: The length of cut needed is 42.75”. We know a single maximum feed index is 20”. The length we need will require us to index the piece 3 times. 2. Now that we have established that 3 indexes are needed, we divide our length by 3. In the example our length is 42.
G: On the piece counter, clear out the previous number that has been cut. Press the lower centered button to clear this number out. See graphic A this page. H: Enter into the counter the number of parts you need to cut. (If you run out of stock before this amount has been met, the machine will shut off) See figure B I: Example: Clear counter. Pressing individual buttons enter the number to be cut which shown here is 632 pieces. I: Place your material in position for cutting.
B: Check gullets of the blade. Check teeth and surface of blade. If a chip is packed or welded in the gullets do not use, a blade in this condition will "thump" each time the blade passes through the part and could cause breakage. This condition normally is evident when an over feeding conditions exists or when a blade is too fine for the material. The side of the blade should not have any type of smear or build up on it.
These are only examples of different types of fixtures, Dake does not manufacture these.
HEAD CHANGE INSTRUCTIONS (Initial set-up and adjustments) If you have purchased the optional ferrous or non-ferrous cutting head for your machine, there may be a few modifications needed for your machine. These modifications should be needed only once, during your initial set up. GUARD MODIFICATION If your machine was purchased as a ferrous machine, your Plexiglas guard will need to be relocated. You will need to unbolt the guard from its mounting, and shift the guard over to the right approx 2”.
system for the non-ferrous head, using a ferrous cover plate. This plate will need to be modified, adding a discharge tube connection. (Ref 2) WARNING!!!!! ONLY A SLING APPROVED BY OSHA AND THAT IS RATED FOR THIS WEIGHT SHOULD BE USED. C. Move all tubing and wiring clear of the head, and CAREFULLY AND SAFELY place a sling or strap around the head. This sling will be used in lifting the head from the column, so take care in placing this strap.(Figure B ref 3) Step 3: Removing the gib plates.
certain amount of jerking without the cylinder connected, this is normal. If the head jerks excessively future adjustments will be needed. Note: If cylinder piston restricts your from moving the head the full length of the column, remove the bottom air line from the cylinder, using compressed air, blow into the fitting and the piston will retract. F. If the gib blocks are too tight and can not be adjusted, it is recommended that the gib block faces be surface ground.
