Installation Preparation
Saw-ADD LLC will provide:
Customer will provide:
The installation can be done in one weekend and will require removal of existing guides, welding new guide sub-bases, guide alignment, mounting J-boxes and electrical termination. Mounting the electrical J-boxes and conduit can be accomplished in advance.
Saw-ADD LLC will provide:
- The Saw-ADD guide holders are built to the same dimensions as your current guide holders or acceptable adjustments in size and to receive the same guide blocks.
- Sensors, mountings for guide holders and drivers with 0 to 10-volt output.
- Saw-ADD PLC program installation and startup assistance.
Customer will provide:
- Dimensional drawing or sketch of existing guide holder with dimensions.
- Four high speed analog input channels for a Twin and 8 for a Quad with RTS of 2 ms (to the PLC that is controlling the log feed speed and in a high speed task of less than 10ms update).
- Three twisted pair shielded signal wires in conduit from the PLC analog inputs to each J-box to be mounted on each saw within eight feet of the lower saw guide.
- J-boxes large enough to hold the 2, 5x4.5x1 inch din rail mounting sensor driver modules.
- Half inch flexible conduit (max 8 ft. length) to each lower guide from the J-boxes, and pulling in the sensor cable with prewired connector to the sensor drivers.
- Mounting of the Saw+ADD guides which may require welding a new sub-base to the bandmills.
- Sufficient drive horsepower and braking capacity (braking resistors or regen) to decelerate the log feed at a rate of 150 inches per second squared is recommended.
