The Conair CTS Saw is an on- or off-line sawing device capa-  
ble of both on-demand and continuous cutting.  
WHAT IS THE  
CTS SAW?  
Conair CTS Saws can cut extrudable plastics and rubber both  
on- and off-line. Other extrudable materials-foods, ceramics,  
magnets, soaps, etc.-may also be cut depending on specific  
application requirements.  
TYPICAL  
APPLICATIONS  
CTS Saws are available with different cutting capacities (5, 7,  
and 9 inches) to suit your specific needs. The standard saw  
orientation is right-to-left, saws can also be made with a left-  
to-right orientation (see Specifications in this section). (The  
illustrations in this User Guide represent the standard right-to  
left configuration.)  
CTS saws are limited to a specific range of product sizes  
based on each unit's cutting capacity.  
Different materials, line speeds, temperatures and material  
cross-sections can result in different cutting torques. If you are  
changing any of these parameters, consult your Conair service  
personnel to be sure your equipment can handle the changes.

DESCRIPTION  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The Conair CTS saws are designed for the inline cutting of  
profiles, pipe and tubing of a wide variety of sizes.  
HOW THE CTS  
SAW WORKS  
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.

POSITIONING  
THE CTS SAW  
1
Move the saw into position. Place the saw in posi-  
tion downstream of the belt puller.  
CAUTION: Lifting  
To avoid personal injury or damage to the saw,  
lift the saw using a forklift or hoist with straps  
that have been positioned at the saw's center of  
gravity.  
Saw  
Determine the best distance from the belt puller to  
the CTS Saw.  
2
For flexible products, the saw should be as close as  
possible to the puller.  
For rigid products, leave enough space to allow  
the product to flex during the cutting cycle. In some  
cases, it may be necessary to allow 6-8 feet between  
the puller and saw.  
Align the saw with the extrusion line.  
3
4
Measure the centerline height of the extrudate as  
it exits the extrusion die. Adjust all equipment on the  
extrusion line (sizing tank, cooling tanks, belt puller, and  
saw) to this height.

CAUTION: Handle with care.  
The encoder is a delicate piece of equipment  
and must be handled gently.  
INSTALLING THE  
ENCODER  
Conair uses bi-directional encoders to ensure that only product  
that moves forward is counted.  
Installing the encoder consists of sever-  
al parts:  
the encoder  
the measuring wheel  
the connecting cable  
Wheels  
The encoder is fitted with a 1 foot cir-  
cumference wheel which rides on  
either the upper belt of the belt puller or (for  
Encoder  
rigid profiles and pipe) on the extrudate itself upstream of the  
puller.  
Connecting  
Cable  
The encoder is supplied with an integral mounting bracket.  
How and where you attach the encoder to the puller depends  
on your particular puller and application.  
If the wheel rides on the puller belt, make sure that its lin-  
ear alignment is the same as the belt. Place the wheel near  
the center of the belt to minimize bouncing. Try to avoid  
cracks and other belt features that may affect accuracy.  
Make sure the location allows you to keep the wheel  
clean. Any small buildup on the wheel will affect its cir-  
cumference and change the cut length.  
After the encoder is installed, attach it to the saw control using  
the supplied cable. The cable has been hard-wired to the con-  
trol at the factory.

DANGER: Sharp blades!  
INSTALLING THE  
SAW BLADES  
Most injuries caused by saw blades occur when  
the saw has been turned off. Handle blades  
with care at all times.  
Always wear cut-resistant gloves when the  
blade guard is open and when handling  
blades.  
Always lock out power to the saw before  
opening any guards.  
Always wait until the saw blade has com-  
pletely stopped before opening the saw  
guard. (approximately five minutes)  
CTS saws are equipped with several safety  
devices to ensure safe operation. Never remove  
or disable these devices to sustain production.  
Operating without these devices can cause  
severe injury.  
Open the rear access door of the machine.  
Remove the screws that retain the blade door  
1
2 to the blade shroud and hinge open the door.  
IMPORTANT: Always note the blade tooth direction  
when removing blade to insure that the replacement  
blade is installed the same. Rotating a carbide blade in  
the wrong direction will usually damage the blade. As  
standard, the blade rotation should have the top of the  
blade rotating away from the front or operator side of the  
unit.  
Remove the hex nut.  
3
The blade is held on with a hex nut tightened on the motor  
arbor shaft. Based on either right to left or left to right saw  
operation, the hex nut will be either a left hand or right  
hand thread. A right to left saw operation means that the  
product is entering the saw from the right side. A right to  
left operating saw will use a left-handed threaded arbor.  
This is done to insure that the arbor nut will want to con-  
tinually tighten during blade rotation. The motor has an  
arrow on the housing to indicate the arbor rotation.  
Remove the hex nut using the spanner wrench provided to  
hold the blade shaft. The saw blades will be removable at  
this time.

The machine frame is constructed of welded steel that has  
been primed and painted to resist corrosion and provide a  
maintenance free finish. The frame is supported by, four level-  
ing screws, that both permanently fix the position of the unit  
and also help accommodate any uneven flooring. These  
screws have a welded hex nut to allow adjustment with a  
wrench.  
MACHINE  
FRAME AND  
SUPPORT  
SYSTEM  
The motors and machine components are mounted inside the  
frame and completely guarded for operator safety.  
These and all guards should always remain securely in place  
when machine is running and should be re-installed after any  
maintenance procedures that have required their removal.  
The saw blades are mounted to and driven by a 3500 RPM  
arbor motor. This motor is mounted on a pivot assembly,  
which guides and secures the saw blade through the cutting  
process.  
BLADE HEIGHT  
ADJUSTMENT  
There is adjustment for how high the saw blade will extend  
through the table depending on the product being cut. For  
maximum cut cycles, the saw blade should be adjusted so that  
the blade just passes through the product before returning  
home. Too much blade extension will waste valuable time and  
limit the amount of cuts that will be available per minute. This  
adjustment is made externally with the hand knob positioned  
at the rear of the cutting table. Turning the knob counterclock-  
wise will allow the blade to extend farther up through the  
table and turning the knob clockwise will reduce the amount  
that the blade will come up.

As with the blade height adjustment, there is also a require-  
ment to adjust the product clamps to adequately clamp differ-  
ent size products. The clamps are reversible and can be used  
for clamping round or flat items. If you are running a round  
product such as pipe or tubing, the side of the clamp that has a  
"V" notch should be used and for flat surfaced products, the  
straight side of the clamp should be used.  
UPPER CLAMP  
ADJUSTMENT  
To remove and/or adjust each clamp assembly:  
Lock out and tag out the power to the saw. See  
Section 1: Introduction, How to use the Lockout Device.

priate air supply to the machine. With the power on, the  
control panel will have the power on light illuminated.  
To start the saw motor, push the start button.  
Once the saw motor is started, push the yellow manual cut  
button and the machine will start its automatic cycle. The  
clamps will come down and the table will begin to travel  
away from its home position. Immediately after this hap-  
pens, the saw pivot assembly will raise the blade up  
through the table slot until it reaches its up limit switch.  
Upon reaching this switch, the saw pivot will immediately  
return down through the table, the clamps will raise and the  
table will return to its home position, completing one  
cycle.  
IMPORTANT: An important reminder is that the speed  
settings of the pneumatic flow controls will affect the  
cycle time of the machine. The flow controls must be set  
properly to a compromise between cycle time and cut  
quality. Flow control settings should be adjusted at this  
time and fine-tuned during the initial phase of the saw  
operation.

DANGER: Sharp blades!  
Most injuries caused by saw blades occur when  
the saw has been turned off. Handle blades  
with care at all times.  
Always wear cut-resistant gloves when the  
cutting chamber is open and when handling  
blades.  
Always lock out power to the saw before  
opening the cutting chamber.  
Always wait until the saw has completely  
stopped before opening the cabinet door.  
CTS saws are equipped with several safety  
devices to ensure safe operation. Never remove  
or disable these devices to sustain production.  
Operating without these devices can cause  
severe injury.  
The Troubleshooting section covers problems directly related  
to the operation and maintenance of the saw. This section does  
not provide solutions to problems that originate with other  
equipment. Additional troubleshooting help can be found in  
manuals supplied with the other equipment.  
IDENTIFYING THE  
CAUSE OF A  
PROBLEM  
The main problems you will see with the saw are:  
Saw operation problems, which focus on problems that  
are clearly related to the operation of the saw’s electrical  
control systems.  
Plastic product quality concerns, which deal with prod-  
uct characteristics that may be related to saw operation.  
Of course, other sections of the extrusion line also influ-  
ence the quality of the extruded product. This section  
does not provide solutions to problems originating with  
other equipment on the extrusion line.  
Additional troubleshooting help can be found in the manufac-  
turer’s manuals included with this User Guide.

Off Length  
Length Counter  
The Length Counter displays counts only when the  
machine is started and soft key On/Off is on. If the machine  
is stopped or soft key On/Off is off, this counter will be  
forced to zero.  
The length counter resides in the servo drive. The main  
screen shows snapshots of the count value that is read over  
the communications channel. A slight delay in updates will  
be noticed.  
If a negative symbol is shown to the left of the count value,  
the encoder signal is reversed, i.e. rotating in the wrong  
direction. The Saw will not function while the encoder is  
going negative. It is possible to correct this by using the  
Direction function on the Maintenance Area page found in  
the Menu area. This will be shown later in the Menu  
section of this manual.  
On/Off Softkey  
Under the count in the center of the bottom line of the  
display is a soft key labeled On or Off. Pressing this key  
while On is displayed will disable the counter. Likewise  
pressing this key while Off is displayed enables the  
counter. Pressing the stop button forces the counter off.

Homing  
A defined Home location is required for all servo-  
positioning applications. After initial power up, Home must  
be found. All moves are relative to the home location.  
The Home cycle occurs once after initial power up in  
response to the Start push button being pressed.  
There are two kinds of home sequence, home seek and  
home already.  
Home Seek  
If the saw table has been stopped away from the home  
location and the power to the machine switched off, upon  
reapplying power, the first motion will be a home seek.  
Pressing the start push button begins the home seek cycle.  
The table reverses towards the home sensor at reduced  
speed. Once it finds the home sensor, the table will  
decelerate to a stop approximately 0.0136 in. later. This  
position is set to 0.000 at end of home.

It is possible for the table to be in the home area already. In  
this case, the table will move forward until it moves off the  
home sensor. After this, motion is similar to the previous  
description.  
After a successful home has been completed, if the saw is  
stopped and the power to the machine is left on, the table  
position is still known. When the saw is restarted, the table  
will return at the cut cycle, table return speed.
