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.
1
Wait at least five minutes for the blade to stop
completely.
2
Pull the hitch pin from the clamp keeper pin
and remove both pins.
3
Slide the clamps to the desired position.
4
Re-insert the keeper pins.
5
Re-install the hitch pins.

IMPORTANT: The clamps should be set approximately
1/8"-1/4" above the product in the "up" position to allow
for positive clamping. Always check to see if setting is
correct before operating in line.
This equipment is powered by either 230 or 460 VAC , Three
Phase, as specified on the machine nameplate.
POWER SUPPLY
Connect the machine power through a fused discon-
1
nect of proper rating. Make sure the power is grounded
through the power cable to the plant electrical ground.
The operator control panels are located on the front of the saw
frame. The pneumatic control panel is located to the left of the
operator controls platform. It consists of a pressure regulator,
pressure gauge, and flow controls. All items are labeled, easily
accessible and lockable.
CONTROL
PANELS
The electrical control panel is located just to the right of the

The carriage travel, blade pivot and clamp assemblies are
moved with air cylinders. The speed of the movement of the
carriage assembly is controlled by flow controls located on
the operator panel. Clockwise rotation will slow the table
speed and counterclockwise rotation will increase the table
speed.
PNEUMATIC
CYLINDER
OPERATION
The blade pivot assembly is moved up and down with an air
cylinder located below the table. It is controlled by flow con-
trols mounted on the operator panel. These are labeled table
up speed and table down speed. Clockwise rotation will slow
the table movement speed and counterclockwise rotation will
increase the table movement speed.
The clamp assembly is moved up and down by air cylinders
mounted above the clamp. They are controlled by flow con-
trols mounted on the Cylinders. Clockwise rotation will slow
the clamp movement speed and counterclockwise rotation will
increase the clamp movement speed.
The table and clamp pressure setting is adjusted with a pres-
sure regulator located on the operator panel. The pressure
level setting is displayed on the gauge located above the regu-
lator. The table and clamp pressure should never exceed 60
PSI.

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.

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.
