Conair CTS 7, CTS 9, CTS 5 manual HOW the CTS SAW Works

Page 13

The Conair CTS saws are designed for the inline cutting of profiles, pipe and tubing of a wide variety of sizes.

Located as part of the extrusion line downstream of the extruder, the CTS performs five sequential functions in the cut operation as follows:

1.The saw table begins to travel with the product in a linear motion then the clamps lock the product to the table.

2.The saw blade travels up and through the product

3.The saw blade returns to its down (home) position

4.The clamp releases the product

5.The saw table returns to its starting (home) position and readies for the next cycle

These functions are preformed automatically with contact clo- sure by means of either depressing the manual cut pushbutton or by activating a flag switch mounted downstream of the unit as standard.

There are available options that also initiate the cut cycle including an internal timer, electronic length counter, or any other device that has a N.O. (normally open) contact.
