GALAXY 105 PC
Precision single blade panel saw with electronically positioning clamp equipped pusher for automatic rip and cross cutting.

Base unit

Sturdy machine base with precision saw bed, designed to allow easy access to the internal mechanical parts for service and maintenance purposes.
The single side structrure ensures the maximum rigidity and solidity; the two rails for the saw carriage run are located in two processed supports of the base unit for their whole lenght: the result is an efficient dispersion of the pressure of the saw carriage

Saw carriage
An innovative saw carriage with two independent motors for main blade and scorer with heavy duty frame, runs, by means of centrifuged wheels, on accurate top and bottom hardness rails in the rear part of the base unit.
The vertical location of the rails in the same part of the base unit makes the whole structure extremely solid.
High precision vertical movement of the main blade and of the scorer is realised with THK guides. Every blade has its own motor.

A pneumatic device (Gabbiani Macchine patent) allows a quick and easy change of the two blades.
Rack and pinion mating for the motion transmission to the saw carriage. This solution ensures a better cutting quality thanks to the continuous traction of the pinion's teeth on the rack's ones.

The inverter allows the continuous adjustment of the saw carriage speed from 6 up to 60 m/min
The chips produced during cutting operations are discharged from the machine by means of a conveyor placed at the base of the machine and connected to the main extraction plant.
Pressure beam
The innovative hold down pressure beam houses holes, able to fit the grippers eliminating the interference zone with them. In this way the grippers never leave the book, neither during the last cut or the rear trim, until the pressure beam has gone down.
The pressure beam slides on bilateral guides and the vertical movement is obtained by two pneumatic cylinders with adjustable air pressure.
The rack and pinion system ensures the perfect parallelism between the pressure beam and the machine bed.

Pusher
The pusher unit consists of a sturdy tubular steel beam equipped with gripping devices. The clamps can be manually moved and fixed into position at given points along the entire span of the pusher beam.

The pusher beam runs on contoured bronze wheels rolling along hardened steel guides fitted onto two support beams.
The positioning of the pusher is transmitted to CNC by a magnetic strip. This is a separate system from the pusher drive one to avoid errors due to the rack and pinion's clearance and intense mechanical stresses that cause power distorsion, thus the magnetic strip guarantees a remarkable positining precision.
Movement of the pusher is driven by a static inverter which allows adjustment of the forward speed to machining requirements, maintaining a constant maximum return speed.
A practical room placed above the blade tool changing area enables to allocate extra sets of blade and also usuful tools of frequent use. Two pneumatical rapid connections placed at each opposite sides of the cutting line offer a usuful cleaning device for the panels exiting the machine.

The front air tables can slide on a prismatic guide untill the blade changing area out of the cutting line, creating in this way a wider area for the deposit of the sized panels, and also helping the handling of the generated strips in the cross cutting area.
The operator position has been studied to guarantee a better control of all machine functionalities during all working phases. The articulated arm on which the PC monitor is positioned, assures a wide operating area without interference with the machine functionalities, since it can easily move outside the cutting line. The opening of the pressure beam cover allows the operator to view the different loading phase at any time while remaining in his working ideal position closed to the PC monitor.
The protection fences placed on the machine pusher supports allows the utilisation of the space underneath the machine as small deposit area for the row materials, and enables to recuperate partially some of the space occupied by the panel saw.
The standard machine includes:
· automatic side aligner for cross cut
stroke : 70 - 1200 mm
· n.1 set of blades (main blade and scoring blade)
· quick pneumatic set/release of blades for easy changing of blades. The system consists of one flange that locks mechanically the saw blade against the spindle. The flange is pneumatically released by means of compressed air, making possible to change the blades in a short time, with no need of any spanner.
· safety device consisting of compass moving elements following the profile of the panels stack.
· saw carriage with two independent motors for main and scoring blade.

Software:
"WinCut designed for single beam " software working in Windows environment.

The operator has the option of moving through the use of F-key buttons or pointing a mouse. Furthermore the program guides the user through everyday programming by prompting the operator for the following input or step. During automatic operations the user loads the program to be run and the PC guides the user through the cutting sequence both graphically and by text description. Changes in pattern colours simulate the actual cut to let the operator know what parts are coming off the saw and which require further cutting. The saw gives a word by word description of what the saw is doing at the current cutting sequence, so the operator can read along with the cutting sequence.
The PC greatly increase productivity by allowing the operator to write and prepare cutting lists while the saw is running in automatic mode. (Multi-tasking)
The control system constantly monitor all machine functions. Thus, if the machine stops working for any reason, the operator can refer to a diagnistic screen to determinate what and where problem is.


Machine functions
· automatic mode: execution of programs and/or lists of programs
· semiautomatic mode: execution with 4 different measurements, which can be set using the keyboard and/or with automatic measurement of strip width (autosetting)
· passage from automatic to semiautomatic mode during program execution (for any cut) and returning to automatic mode (starting again the program from the point at which it was interrupted)
· multitasking that allows to program or use of every control function even during machining.

Warning:
the description of the control system includes functions that are present only with a suitable panel saw mechanical or electrical set up. As a result, the mortises, autosetting and label data editor in each program are present only with the relative optional devices, shown in

Editor - Grafico
The Software integrated in Wincut enables programming through icons. The operator must select the kind of cut in the icon bar and enter the cut features. Programming is therefore more intuitive and immediate.

Cutty
Cutty is the optimization software running in the saw PC It allows the user to obtain cutting programs starting from the board and the finished panel without typing any cutting instruction.
Cutty generates optimized cutting layouts; the layouts are converted automatically into cutting programs for the saw managing software: the user has not to type any cutting instruction.
