Kongsberg C-series
The Place to cutter methods; Low Advance and Repick and Advance can be selected to help
minimize the risk of collision between the board and the cutter beam.
1 - Low Advance To Cutter
The Low Advance to Cutter method causes the board to be lowered to the support table with
the leading edge of the board short of the cutter conveyor. The board lowers until the plunger
sensor detects the support table.
When the support table is detected, the beam will raise the board to a low preset position and
will advance the board in this low position onto the cutter conveyor to the 150mm overlap
position. See section 8.9.1.4. jhbe
Note:
The Low Advance method is the preferred method for transferring boards to the cutter
conveyor
2 - Hold at Place Position
After placing the board onto the cutter conveyor the feeder typically releases the board and
returns to home position.
When enabled, the Hold at Place Position feature causes the suction cups to remain on the
board after the board is placed onto the cutter conveyor.
The suction cups raise off of the board and the gantry returns to Home position when the
digital Release Board signal is applied to the i-BF and the cutter moves to convey the board
forward to the cutting position.
The Release Board signal is applied to the i-BF each time the cutter conveyor is moved forward
by the table beam.
Holding the board flat on the cutter conveyor is useful when warped materials are being
processed so that the cutter beam can take the board.
