Description
Electronic Powered Cross Feed for Radial Arm and Beam Saws
Upgrade your cutting operations with the Electronic Powered Cross Feed. This factory-installed option converts a manual saw into a semi-automatic powerhouse. Perfect for large-scale wood and metal cutting applications, this system enhances precision, efficiency, and safety, making it ideal for industries such as fenestration, sign manufacturing, metal roofing, post and beam construction, and more.
Key Features and Benefits
Semi-Automatic Operation
- Transforms manual saws into semi-automatic systems for improved efficiency.
- The carriage is controlled by a remote-mounted control panel, operated with the push of a button.
Customizable Cutting Parameters
- Speed Adjustment: Adjust feed rates to optimize cutting for different materials, such as slower speeds for thick or dense materials and faster speeds for thinner or softer materials.
- Length of Cut Adjustment: Cam stops allow easy adjustment of carriage travel, ensuring precise, repeatable cuts while saving time.
Remote Control Panel
Mounted separately on a tripod, the control panel includes:
- Arbor Motor Start/Stop Station
- Emergency Stop (E-Stop)
