Foreword
In response to modern production technologies, MEP S.p.A. has developed the
new 320 SX---SXI band saw, which is the latest addition to the SHARK range.
This work tool has been designed as a simple and reliable answer to the wide
range of cutting needs of the modern workshop.
The SHARK 320 SX---SXI has a sturdy structure and silent and safe operation. It
produces minimal waste (1.2 mm) and is extremely versatile, making it ideal for a
variety of cutting applications such as stainless steel, light alloys, alluminium,
copper and bronze. It also offers exceptional speeds and the utmost precision.
Its high cutting capacity enables it to handle both single workpieces and bundles,
which, combined with the possibility of making inclined cuts from 60 left to 45
right, make this machine the ideal solution for satisfying the wide range of cutting
needs of machine shops, turneries, structural steel shops and engineering
workshops.
Featuring new structural elements, functions and work cycles, the SHARK
320---SX---SXI is available in seven models specially designed to offer greater
performance flexibility in response to the different needs of customers.

Machine presentation
Depending on the model in your possession, the machine can operate in MA-
NUAL, SEMI---AUTOMATIC and SEMI---AUTOMATIC/DYNAMIC mode.
The table below indicates the different model configurations based on their
production cycles:
SET DUTY LUX
OPERATING MODE
Manual operating cycle n n n n
Semi---auto./Dynamic operating cycle n n n n
Semi---automatic operating cycle n n n n n n
Special cutting cycles n n
In Manual mode, after making sure the workpiece is correctly clamped in the
vice, the operator grips the head control lever and presses the band saw start
micro---switch. The head will then move downwards to cut the material at the
preset length.
TheSemi---automatic/Dynamic cycle instead controls semi---automatic operation

of the band saw, with the exception of the head stroke setting for which the
operator may manually set the cutting head start point. In fact, after setting the
head downstroke speed, the operator simply positions the vice 2---3 mm from the
workpiece and lowers the cutting head blade to within about 10 mm of the stock.
He then presses the handgrip button to start the band saw. The vice now clamps
the piece and the cutting head lowers to cut it. The blade then stops, returns to its
start position and the vice opens again.
N.B. The Semi--automatic/Dynamic cycle is particularly useful for cutting workpieces

of different sections requiring variable cutting strokes.
In Semi---automatic mode, after setting the head cutting stroke on the control
panel and the head downstroke speed, the operator positions the vice 2---3 mm
from the workpiece and presses the start button (or optional foot pedal if fitted)
on the control panel to start up the band saw. The vice then clamps the material,
the head lowers, cuts the piece and returns to its start position, at which point, the
vice opens again.
The special cutting cycles are essentially three additional settings which allow the
operator to:
1. immediately open the vice after a cut (HDL);
2. bring forward the START times during the Semi--automatic/Dynamic cycle;
3. transmit the HDL and HUL signals to the Measuring and Display System (MDS) if
connected to the machine.

General recommendations
LIGHTING
Insufficient lighting for the types of operation envisaged may constitute a safety
hazard for personnel. For this reason, the customer is required to install a
suitable lighting system in the designated machine installation site which is free of
glare and effectively eliminates areas cast in shadow. Lighting in the work
environment must in any case be no less than 500 LUX (Reference standard ISO
8995---89, “Lighting in work environments”).
CONNECTIONS
Make sure the power supply cables and pneumatic supply lines comply with the
maximum machine consumption values listed in the “Machine Specification”
tables and, if necessary, replace.
EARTHING SYSTEM
The earthing system must comply with the characteristics specified by STAN-
DARD EN 60204---1.
OPERATOR POSITION
The work positions of the machine operator are shown in the diagram below.

Version 25IM
Operator recommendations
Always wear suitable protective eyewear.
Always make sure the guards and protections are correctly positioned
before using the machine.
Always keep hands and arms well clear of the cutting zone while the ma-
chine is operating or the blade is still in motion.
Do not wear loose clothing with long sleeves, loose gloves, bracelets,
necklaces or any other item that may become entangled in the machine
during operation. Tie long hair up.
Before cutting, make sure the workpiece is correctly supported on both

sides of the machine by the support arm (standard) or OPTIONAL ac-
cessories, such as the feed and discharge roller tables shown in the dia-
gram below. Before removing the devices supporting and moving the ma-
terial, fasten the latter in place using the machine’s clamping devices or

Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before carrying
out maintenance work, even when the machine is operating abnormally.
Any maintenance work on the hydraulic or pneumatic circuits must only

be carried out after first depressurising the systems.
Safety and accident prevention 3--3

MEP S.p.A.
Never undertake dangerous operations or operations not envisaged by

the operation in progress, i.e. removing swarf or metal shavings from the
machine while it is cutting, or supporting the workpiece with your hands,
either inside or outside the cutting zone. The machine must aid and not
hinder the operator.
Following maintenance, adjustments or repairs, always remove any

equipment, tools or other objects used from the work zone. Keep the
work area clean.
Before starting a cut, make sure the workpiece is securely clamped in the
vice and that the correct machine cycle has been selected. The diagrams
below illustrate the correct clamping procedures for different profile sec-
tions on our range of machines.
Do not use the machine to cut pieces that exceed its cutting capacity as
indicated in the machine specifications.
Never move the machine while it is cutting.
Never use blades different in size to those indicated in the machine spe-
cifications.
When cutting very short pieces, make sure they are not dragged behind
the support shoulder, where they may jam the blade.
When using the pneumatic or hydraulic vice in automatic mode, make

sure the jaws effectively clamp the workpiece (the maximum travel of the
vice is only 8 mm) and that the clamping pressure is correct.
When working on the band saw, only wear gloves to handle stock and
change or adjust the tool. Always perform one operation at a time and
never engage both hands with objects at the same time. Keep hands
clean.

Version 25IM
Attention: if the blade jams in a cut, press the emergency stop button im-
mediately. If this does not free the blade, slowly open the vice, remove
the piece and check the blade or blade teeth for breakage. If necessary,
replace the blade.
Before carrying out repairs on the machine, always consult MEP’s Tech-
nical Assistance Service or representative in the machine destination
country.

«The emergency stop device immediately shuts down all the dangerous and non ---
dangerous functions of the machine.»
= Chapter 6, Section 2, Sub---section 4, Point 7, “Safety guards”:
«The removal of safety guards protecting dangerous parts or zones of the machine
causes the machine to shut down immediately. When the guards are returned to
their original position the machine must be reset in order to resume work.»
...Emergency devices fitted on the SHARK 320 SX---SXI:

1. Emergency stop: a positive safety--type mushroom head button is mounted on the
control panel. It features a red head on a yellow background to make it more
visible. To release the button, simply turn it 45˚. After the emergency situation has
been resolved, the machine must be reset.
2. Thermal--magnetic circuit--breaker with undervoltage coil: this device
incorporates two power failure protection systems. In fact, in the event of a power
failure, this device disconnects all the electrical components, causing the machine
to immediately shut down and prevents it from automatically starting up again
when power is restored. This device also resets the thermal relay fitted to protect
against current overloads.
3. Pressure contact for monitoring blade tension: the machine stops immediately if
the blade breaks or pressure in the tensioning cylinder drops.
4. Blade guard: a coded--key micro--switch trips if the blade guard is inadvertantly or
intentionally opened during the machine operating cycle, causing the machine to
shut down immediately.

Airborne noise emissions

Noise can seriously impair hearing and is therefore one of the problems
addressed by legislation in different countries. In accordance with the provisions
of EEC Machine Directive 98/37/CE, the methods used to establish noise
threshold limits for machine tools are set out below. This chapter indicates the
airborne noise levels generated by the SHARK 320 SX---SXI during its various
operating phases and the methods used to measure them. The law governing this
procedure in Italy is D.M. 277/91, enacting EEC Directives 80/1107, 82/605,
83/477/, 86/188 and 88/642.
Noise emissions measurement procedure

Noise emissions are recorded using an integrator noise---meter which measures
the mean, continuous and weighted sound pressure detected in the work place.
Noise pollution is determined by three parameters: level, frequency and duration.
The mean sound level (L eq) combines these three parameters to produce one
simple indicator. It works on the principle of equal energy and represents the
continuous stationary level, expressed in dBA, containing the same energy as the
real fluctuating level over the same period of time.

Basic instructions for carrying out a cutting cycle
Manoeuvring the cutting head
On all SX and SXI models, the cutting head may be operated by the head “up”
and “down” buttons of the Head Positioning System (previously illustrated in the
key for the control console keyboard), which are enabled in SEMI---AUTO-
MATIC mode.
Head “up” key Y+ Head “down” key Y---
On DUTY and LUX models, the cutting head may also be operated by the
handgrip in both MANUAL and SEMI---AUTOMATIC/DYNAMIC mode.
Optimum distribution of the head’s weight is controlled by the traction force of
the spring located at the back of the machine to facilitate head positioning by the
operator.
The handgrip on the head control lever also guarantees the operator a firm grip
when starting up band saw rotation by pressing the micro---switch activation lever,
incorporated in the grip itself.

Version 25IM
Clamping the work piece in the vice
Vice opening and closure are controlled by the corresponding buttons on the
control console. However, to ensure that the workpiece is securely clamped in the
vice, proceed as follows:
" Make sure the workpiece dimensions do not exceed the machine’s cutting ca-
pacity.
" Make sure the piece is correctly supported on both sides of the machine.
" Move the vice to within 2---3 mm of the workpiece using the handwheel.
2--3 mm
" Press the vice closure button.
" Make sure the workpiece is securely clamped in the vice by trying to move it
manually.

MEP S.p.A.
Rapid vice positioning

By means of a simple device the vice can be slid back and forth to accelerate vice
opening and closing operations.
" Grip the lever illustrated in the figure below and rotate in a clockwise direc-
tion: the vice is now free to slide back and forth to the required position.
Once positioned, release the lever to lock the vice in place.
" Finally, position the vice to within 2---3 mm of the workpiece using the hand-
wheel.
Rapid vice translation

For angled cuts, the vice may be translated to the left or right along a prismatic guide.
" Release the locking lever illustrated in the figure below.
" Position the vice to the right or left and lock the lever.

Version 25IM
Width of cut
The machine is fitted with protections which protect the entire blade stroke,
leaving exposed only the part of the blade required to make the cut itself, as
specified by current standards. The width of the cut is determined by the
longitudinal section of the workpiece, so that only the part of the blade required
to make the cut is actually exposed.
" Position the workpiece on the work table in proximity to the blade down-
stroke trajectory and clamp it in the vice.
" Slacken the ratchet lever on the sliding shaft of the front blade guide head.
" Position the mobile front guide head near the workpiece so that the down-
stroke trajectory exceeds the mobile vice jaw.
" Tighten the ratchet lever to lock the head’s sliding shaft.

MEP S.p.A.
Check list prior to cutting cycle

To guarantee complete safety during cutting, always run through the following
check list before starting work:
" check the blade tension;
" make sure the blade guide head plate is locked in the correct position;
" make sure the cutting angle is correct and the cutting head is locked;
" make sure the workpiece is properly clamped in the vice;
" make sure the blade teeth are suitable for the job in hand;
" make sure the speed setting is appropriate for the type of material to be cut;
" make sure all the protections are correctly positioned and locked;
" check the lubricant/coolant level and make sure the electric pump is switched on;
" make sure the blade downstroke speed and cutting pressure are correct.
Manual operating cycle (DUTY and LUX versions)

symbol to select low speed and the button marked by the “hare” symbol to
select high speed.
N.B. If the machine is equipped with the optional inverter, set the speed for the type
of material being cut using the potentiometer on the control console.
" Program the lubricant/coolant spray using the corresponding button on the
control console and adjust the delivery rate using the cocks on the blade guide
heads. It is also possible to set the lubricant/coolant delivery mode.
N.B. The machine is delivered without lubricant/coolant to facilitate shipment and

storage. Therefore, before activating the lubricant/coolant spray, prepare an
emulsion of water and lubricant/coolant oil (5--6% oil). For further information
about types of lubricant/coolant oils, refer to the section on Consumables in
Chapter 8.

MEP S.p.A.
" Grip the head control lever and start blade rotation by pressing the micro---
switch on the handgrip. The head downstroke speed is manually controlled by
the operator.
" The motor starts up and rotates the blade; at the same time, the lubricant/
coolant pump starts up.
" Once the piece has been cut, return the head to its raised position.
" Free the piece from the vice and open using the “open” button.

Version 25IM
Semi--automatic operating cycle (SET, DUTY and LUX versions)
Semi---automatic cutting sequence:

" Position the workpiece in the vice.
Warning During this programming phase of the cycle, do not position the workpiece per-
pendicular to the blade so that the head may be moved up and down without
colliding with the workpiece.
" Select semi---automatic mode by pressing the corresponding button on the

control console (not necessary on SET models, this being the only cycle avail-
able).
" Select the required cutting speed in accordance with the type of material
being cut (tortoise = low speed; hare = high speed).

MEP S.p.A.
" Position the cutting head about 10 mm from the workpiece using the up (Y+)
and down (Y---) arrow keys.
" Press the HUL (Head Upstroke Limit) memory button to save the head start
position at the beginning of the cycle.
" Lower the head to the end---of---cut position by pressing the down (Y---)
arrow key.
" Press the HDL(Head Downstroke Limit) memory key to determine the final
position of the head at the end of the cut. As soon as you have pressed the
HDL memory key the vice will close and the head will return up to the HUL
position ready for cycle start.
" Shut off the head descent speed regulator (zero) located on the front right of
the base on SET and DUTY models, and on the control console on LUX mo-
dels. This prevents inadvertent movement of the cutting head once the cycle
starts.
" Correctly position the workpiece in the vice and calculate the length of cuts
(using the cut---to---size rod).

Version 25IM
" Open the vice using the relative button and manually move the vice towards
the material, leaving a minimum distance of 23mm. (as illustrated in the
Manual cycle).
2--3 mm
" Start the cutting cycle by pressing the foot pedal.
N.B. On LUX versions, the cycle may also be activated from the control console: to
do this simply select the type of start required using the corresponding key (the
led will illuminate to confirm the selection) and press the cycle START button.
" After you have given the START command, the blade starts to rotate, the vice
clamps the workpiece and the coolant spray is activated. The cutting head will
remain in the start position until the head descent regulator located on the
front right of the base is opened (clockwise rotation).
Warning Adjust the head downstroke speed in accordance with the type of material
being cut, the blade rotation speed and the quality of finish required.
" Once the piece has been cut (HDL position), the blade stops rotating, the cut-
ting head returns to the HUL position and the vice opens. The machine is
now ready to start a new cycle.

MEP S.p.A.
Semi--automatic / Dynamic operating cycle (DUTY and LUX versions)
Semi---automatic / Dynamic cutting sequence:

How to read the wiring diagrams

With the introduction of the new standardised wiring diagrams, the following gives an illustration of the way
in which they have been drawn up.
Each sheet of the project contains a box which gives the following information:
The numbers indicate the co-

lumns into which the entire dra-
wing is divided
MARIO ROSSI
Indications of the
model of machine
Indication of the pa-

Indications of the date production started ge number
MARIO ROSSI Identification of the designer
Identification of the Reference Standard

Versione 25IM
Each component in the wiring diagram is identified by a unique alphanumeric identification code, in com-
pliance with regulations:
The wire is identified by the

code --W4
This symbol identifies the wire
with its relative number and co-
lour
MARIO ROSSI
These symbols, known as potentials, are used to provi-

The motor is identified by the code --M1 de page references: the first number indicates the page
to be referred to, the second number, after the dot, iden-
tifies the column on that page; example /11.8 indicates
that the wire continues on page no. 11 in column 8
The pages following the wiring diagrams contain the following lists:
1. components list (list of all components) and terminals list (list of all the terminals) with the follo-
wing information:
- in--house article code;
- identification code;
- reference, no. of the page and column on which it can be found;
- description;
- manufacturer

2. wires list (list of all wires) with the following information:

- in--house article code;
- identification code;
- description
- section of wire (mm2);
- colour of wire;
- start: indicates the component (identification code and contact number) at which the wire starts;
- end: indicates the component (identification code and contact number) at which the wire ends;
e.g.
CODE CABLE DESCRIPTION SECTION NO. COLOUR START END
022.0141 --W7 RESET+EMERGEN- 0.50 317 WHITE --S3 4 --K10 14

In this example, wire no. 317 white, identified as ---W7, starts from contact no. 4 on component ---S3, and
ends at contact no. 14 on component ---K10.

Adjustments

This chapter describes the operations required to adjust the electronic, mechan-
ical and pneumatic systems on the SX models, and also the hydraulic systems on
the SXI models. By following these instructions, you can “customise” your
machine to suit the type of cut required, thereby optimising cutting times.
Displaying and editing the set--up parameters

The machine set---up parameters may be programmed directly from the control
console.
" Power up the machine at the main switch located on the left hand side.
" Sequentially and simultaneously press the SETUP and BAR/PSI keys to dis-
play the machine set---up menu.
7--1
MEP S.p.A.
" Once inside the SET---UP menu, use the following three keys to navigate
through the different menu screens:
HDL HUL CONSOLE or FOOT
Head Head PEDAL START
Downstroke Limit Upstroke Limit
" The HDL key (Y) allows you to change parameter settings in increments of
one unit.
" The HUL key (") instead has two functions: it is used to save parameter set-
tings and navigate inside the SET---UP menu.
" The console or foot pedal START selection key allows you to zero the current
parameter setting.
N.B. The set--up procedure on LUX models is further simplified by an LCD display
which enables you to display the parameters indicated in the table below. For
this reason, the following set--up description is confined to the SET and DUTY
models only.

Set--up on SET--DUTY models

These models do not feature a message display. The parameter settings are
therefore programmed by the different led configurations of the following console
buttons:
BAR/PSI SPEED 1 NO SPEED 2
(TORTOISE) SPEED (HARE)
LED
The term “led configuration” denotes the combination of illuminated and

extinguished leds which, for simplicity’s sake, are coded as follows: 1 (one) =
illuminated and 0 (zero) = extinguished. Taking the optional INVERTER
configuration (parameter 4) as an example, the combination of illuminated and
extinguished leds is as follows:
0 0 1 1
At the same time, the CUTTING VICE CLOSURE led indicates the variable
setting, i.e. YES (1) = led illuminated and NO (0) = led extinguished:
1 0

Machine working pressures

This section describes the procedure required to adjust the working pressure of
the cutting vice and head on both the SX models (pneumatic) and SXI models
(hydraulic). Both adjustments are determined by the type of material being cut.
The vice clamping pressure must be adjusted to accommodate pieces prone to
deformation or which are unstable during cutting.
The head downstroke speed is set by a flow regulator located on the machine base
on SET and DUTY models, and by a potentiometer located on the control
console on LUX models.
SET--DUTY MODELS LUX MODELS

Version 25IM
Hydraulic pressure on SXI models

On SXI models, the cutting vice and head pressure is altered by adjusting the
hydraulic power packs. The hydraulic power pack marked M1 on the motor---
pump unit actuates the head while the hydraulic power pack marked M2 actuates
the vice cylinder.
Warning Both the pneumatic and hydraulic vices have a maximum travel of 8 mm. This
means that after positioning the workpiece on the work table and before start-
ing the cycle, the moving jaw must be positioned to within 2--3 mm of the work-
piece as previously described in Chapter 5.

On SXI --- LUX models, the working pressure may be adjusted by the regulators
mounted on the pressure side of the hydraulic power packs which display the
working pressure on two pressure gauges. SXI --- DUTY models are instead fitted
with a single regulator mounted on the vice actuator hydraulic power pack.
It is in any case possible to adjust both pressure settings on all SXI models using
the pressure relief valve mounted on the hydraulic power packs, following the
procedure described below.
N.B. The preset working pressure on SXI models is 16 Bar for the head during cut-
ting, 20 Bar for the head during the return phase and 25 Bar for the vice, both
during opening and closure.
" Open the door in the machine base and slide out the hydraulic power pack.

side the base.
Warning The hydraulic power pack pressure gauges are only mounted on the pressure
side. Consequently, to display the return pressure, connect a pressure gauge
to the fitting provided.
Pneumatic pressure on SX models

On SX models, the compressed air is treated and cleaned in the air intake by an
air treatment unit, which, if adjusted, stabilises the pressure at about 6 Bar,
irrespective of the pressure in the factory circuit. The user must provide a
compressed air system complying with the characteristics given in Chapter 4.

" Slacken all the lock nuts on the grub screws, using a hex wrench to hold the
screws firm.
" Open the vice as far as it will go.
" Adjust the slight pressure exerted by the grub screws on the gib, starting with
the first two in contact with the lead screw.
" After adjusting the two grub screws, tighten the lock nuts, again holding the
grub screws firm with a hex wrench.
" Finally, close the vice until another two grub screws coincide with the lead
screw.

chine console display.

Version 25IM
" Using the handwheel, tension the blade to 60 Bar = 800 Kg (this value is dis-
played on the pressure gauge of SET and DUTY models).
Attention The machine enters emergency status if the blade tension is too slack. A
pressure contact (pressure switch) disables blade start--up if the blade is not cor-
rectly tensioned, since it might otherwise slip off the wheels, cut poorly or wear
prematurely. This should always be born in mind when using the machine.
Cutting head stroke

The head cutting stroke is defined by the cut start position (Head Upstroke
Limit) and cut end position (Head Downstroke Limit) which are electronically
programmed by the control console as previously described in Chapter 5. The
cutting head is also equipped with a mechanical stop which defines the bottom
limit of its stroke.
" To adjust this stop, use two hex wrenches, one to lock the nut and the other to
tighten or slacken the stop screw.

Blade guide components

Band saw blades offer enormous advantages to cutting applications, without
requiring any special skills by the operator. A description follows of the blade
guide adjustments required to ensure correct operation of the saw.
Blade guide heads

The first blade adjustment involves adjustment of the heads. The blade guide
heads comprise the blade guide plates which ensure correct longitudinal align-
ment, the blade steady buttons which control vertical blade flexure, and the
coolant supply cocks.
Blade steady buttons

The blade steady buttons prevent upward blade flexure caused by the vertical
action of the cutting force. These buttons are fitted on both the front and rear
heads, and need no adjustment.
BLADE GUIDE HEAD
BLADE STEADY BUTTON
Blade guide plates

The plate contact points feature widia inserts which guide the blade longitudinal-
ly. A small amount of play must exist between the plates and blade to ensure that
the blade runs smoothly and perpendicular to the work table.
BLADE GUIDE HEAD
BLADE GUIDE
PLATES

Version 25IM
Thanks to the widia inserts, the working life of the guide plates is practically the
same as that of the machine itself. However, if due to wear or the assembly of a
new blade with a different thickness, the amount of play between the plates and
blade changes, the plates must be adjusted as follows:
" Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
" Slacken the blade tension using the handwheel.
" Open the front blade guard by undoing the fixing screw and rotating it as illus-
trated in the figure below.
" Wear protective gloves when making this adjustment.

" Make sure there is a small amount of play between the blade and guide plate
inserts.
Adjustments 7--31
MEP S.p.A.
" If the amount of play is not sufficient for the blade to run smoothly, adjust the
locking torque of the two grub screws with an Allen key.
" Replace any worn plates by removing the plate fixing screw.
" Repeat the above sequence of steps on the rear blade guide head.
" Refit the front blade guard.
" Tension the blade and power up the machine again.

Version 25IM
Blade
The adjustments required to ensure correct operation of the blade are described
below. For further information about band saw blades, refer to Chapter 9 which
provides a more detailed description of the different types of blade.
Tool changeover
Optimum working conditions both enhance operator safety and extend the tool’s
service life. The cutting tool should in any case be replaced when poor cutting
performance starts to affect productivity. The tool changeover procedure is
described as follows:
" Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
" Slacken the blade tension using the handwheel.
" Open the cutting head cover by unscrewing the two knobs and hooking it onto
the galvanised lever on the back of the head.
" Open the front blade guard by undoing the fixing screw and rotating it as illus-
trated in the figure below.
Adjustments 7--33
MEP S.p.A.
" Remove the rear blade guard by undoing the two fixing screws using an Allen
key.
" Wear protective gloves when changing the blade.

" Remove the worn blade by sliding it off the flywheels and front and rear
heads.
" Fit the new blade into the front blade guide head.
" Make sure the back of the blade is facing the flywheel stop and that the teeth
along the lower part of the blade are inclined towards the head pivot
" Make sure there is a small amount of play between the blade and guide plate
inserts.
" Repeat the above sequence of steps on the rear blade guide head.
" Fit the blade on the flywheels and remount the front and rear blade guards.
" Close the cutting head cover, correctly tension the blade and power up the
machine.

Version 25IM
Blade perpendicularity
The perpendicularity of the blade to the work surface, and also the blade tension,
are vital for achieving straight cuts. This adjustment is carried out with the help of
a workshop square, which should be placed adjacent to the blade resting on the
work surface.
" Position the square on the cleaned work surface and rest it against the blade,
close to the right vice jaw at a point where the blade teeth do not prevent con-
tact.
" Slacken the head fixing screw (A) and adjust the two grub screws (B) if the
blade touches the square at the bottom. If the contact point is instead located
at the top of the square, slacken screw (A’) and tighten grubs screws (B’) to
the same torque until the blade is perpendicular to the square.
Adjustments 7--35
MEP S.p.A.
" Position the square on the work surface near the front head.

Blade orthogonality
The procedure for correcting and adjusting the blade to 0˚and 45˚ right and 45˚
and 60˚ left in order to make cuts at right angles to the fixed vice jaw is described
below.
To make orthogonal adjustments at 0˚, use a workshop goniometer or a simple
90˚ square. Operation sequence:
" Lower the head.
" Position the goniometer or square against the fixed vice jaw adjacent to the
blade.

Version 25IM
" Slacken the turntable lock lever.

" Remove the knob illustrated in the figure below controlling the eccentric lock
pin.
If the degree of error read on the goniometer is equal to or less than 1 degree,
proceed as follows:
" Using an Allen key, slacken the eccentric pin grub screw and rotate it until
the error is corrected.
If instead, the degree of error read on the goniometer is greater than 1 degree,
proceed as follows:
" Remove the eccentric pin completely.
" Turn the head until the error is corrected.
" Refit the eccentric pin, tighten down the grub screw and remount the knob.
" Lock the turntable using the lever.
Adjustments 7--37
MEP S.p.A.
Warning To adjust the 45˚ and 60˚ fixed points, you will need a workshop goniometer
or an instrument that can measure the exact angle of the blade. This operation
can also be performed to adjust the blade to 45˚ right, since a head angle
control pin is also mounted on the left hand side of the work table.
Operation sequence for blade adjustment to 45 degrees:
" Turn the head to 45 degrees (left or right).
" Position the goniometer on the work table and measure the angle between the
vice jaw and blade.
" Once you have identified the degree of error, adjust the pins by gripping the
pin with an Allen key and slackening the lock nut with a normal wrench.
" This done, adjust the depth of the pin inside the turntable until the error is
corrected.

The front flywheel must be adjusted so that it is aligned with the rear wheel. The
purpose of this adjustment is to make sure the back of the blade remains about 1
mm from the edge of the flywheel during rotation. This prevents premature wear
to the blade which, due to excessive friction with the edge, may crack.
" Slacken the blade tension and open the cutting head cover.
" Slacken the grub screw and, using a mallet, tap the shaft in or out.
" Finally, close the cover and set the blade in motion.
" Check the distance between the blade and edge of the wheels.
" If necessary, repeat the above operation until a gap of 1 mm is obtained be-
tween the back of the blade and edge of the wheels.
Adjustments 7--39
MEP S.p.A.
Warning On LUX models, take care not to damage the cutting force sensor mounted
just 1--2 mm from the front flywheel when adjusting the wheel.
To return the sensor to its original position, proceed as follows:

" Tighten down the sensor so that it is touching a solid section of the wheel sur-
face.
" This done, slacken the sensor by half a turn (equal to a distance of about
1 mm from the flywheel) and lock the ring nut while holding the sensor in
this position.
Rear flywheel
Rear flywheel alignment is closely linked to adjustment of the front flywheel. As
before, the purpose of this adjustment is to ensure that the back of the blade
remains about 1 mm from the edge of the wheel during rotation.
" To adjust, slacken all the locking screws on the flywheel and manually move it
in or out until the blade is correctly distanced from the edge of the wheel. Re-
tighten the screws and check alignment by rotating the blade a few times. If
necessary, readjust.

Maintenance and
consumables 8
The rugged construction of the SHARK 320 is designed to guarantee years of
dependable performance. The machine in fact requires little maintenance,
although, as is the case with all machine tools, certain adjustments must be made
over the course of time, particularly if the machine is not regularly serviced or is
used without due care.
This chapter is consequently intended as a care and maintenance check list to
ensure years of troublefree service from your machine.
Role of the operator

The person responsible for operating and maintaining the machine must adhere
to the following regulations in order to safeguard both his own safety and that of
fellow workers, and also the machine:
- Make sure that both you and other machine operators work in full com-
pliance with applicable safety regulations and standards. To this end, always
make sure the safety devices are correctly positioned and in good working or-
der and fully observe personal safety requirements.
- To guarantee maximum productivity, make sure the work cycle is correctly
performed by checking:
n that the main parts of the machine are in correct working order;
n the sharpness of the blade and correct operation of the coolant spray;
n that the correct work parameters are set for the type of stock being cut.
- Make sure the quality of the cut is sufficient to guarantee a final product free
of any defects.
Maintenance requirements
- Always open the power disconnect device and press the emergency stop
button before carrying out routine or special maintenance work on the
machine.
- For optimum machine performance, only use original spare parts supplied by
MEP S.p.A.
- On completion of maintenance work, always make sure that any old parts and
work tools have been removed from the machine before starting up again.
- Any operation performed which does not comply with the instructions for use
and maintenance given in this handbook, may seriously jeopardise operator
safety.
- Therefore, always study and follow the instructions laid down in this user and
maintenance handbook and observe all the indications on the machine itself.

Routine maintenance
This section lists the various routine maintenance procedures:
Daily
" Remove all swarf from the machine (preferably with a non---fibrous cloth).
" Empty the swarf collection drawer (located on the right of the base).
" Top up the lubricant/coolant level.
" Check the blade for wear and, if necessary, replace.
" Check, clean and adjust the blade cleaning brush and, if worn, replace.
" At the end of each working day, slacken the blade tension to 5 Bar (70 Kg) to
prevent any unnecessary and damaging strain on the tool.
Weekly
" Remove all swarf from the machine.
" Clean the vice and lubricate all the articulated joints and sliding surfaces with
a good quality oil.
" Check the position of the blade tensioning piston, which should protrude
44 mm from the blade tensioning cylinder. If this is not the case, top up the
cylinder as described in Chapter 7.
" Check vice translation. If it is not precise or is prone to transversal play, ad-
just as described in Chapter7.
" Top up the lubrication circuit inside the turntable by means of the ball---type
lubricator located at the front.
" On SXI models, check the oil level in the hydraulic power pack and, if necess-
ary, top up. Check for oil leaks in the hydraulic hose connections and make
sure the hoses are free of kinks.
Monthly
" Make sure the blade is perpendicular to the work surface and, if necessary,
adjust as described in Chapter 7.
" Make sure the blade is orthogonal to the workpiece rest shoulder and, if
necessary, adjust as described in Chapter 7.
" Make sure the 0˚notch on the fixed work table is aligned with the graduated
scale on the turntable and, if necessary, adjust by regulating the 0˚stop. This
done, check the perpendicularity and orthogonality of the blade.
" Check the precision of the 45 and 60 left stops and the 45˚ right stop and, if
necessary, adjust as described in Chapter 7.
" Check the condition of the widia inserts and blade steady button and, if worn
or chipped, replace. Also check their position and, if necessary, adjust as de-
scribed in Chapter 7.
" Thoroughly clean the water tank and electric pump filter.

Maintenance of operating units

During maintenance work on the SHARK 320, special attention should be paid to
operating units such as the blade tensioning cylinder (the replenishment of which
is dealt with in Chapter 7), the air treatment unit and pneumatic circuit on SX
models, and the hydraulic power pack and hydraulic circuit on SXI models. The
worm reduction gear instead requires no maintenance.

Cutting speed and
choice of tools 9
The cutting speed is determined by the blade rotation speed and head feed speed.
While the latter depends on head movement, the blade rotation speed may be
either fixed or variable. This chapter indicates the cutting speeds obtainable on
the standard machine version, and also the speeds obtained using the optional
electronic speed control (inverter).
When using the SHARK 320, the correct blade must always be selected for the
type of material being cut. This chapter explains the limitations and specific
applications of the different types of blade available.
Cutting speed
Standard machine
The standard version with 2/4---pole motor has the following cutting speeds:
- Speed 1 = 40 m/min. (4 poles)
These speeds are selected using the polarity change switch on the control panel.
Machine with 4/8-- pole motor (optional)

The machine may be supplied with the optional 4/8---pole spindle motor to
achieve the following cutting speeds:
Machine with inverter (optional)

The inverter is an electronic instrument installed on the SHARK 320 to control
the rpm of the spindle motor. This instrument simplifies special cutting jobs by
adjusting the blade rotation speed to suit the kind of material being cut. It thus
optimises blade usage, since you can adapt a blade not designed for a specific type
of material and avoid premature blade wear.
The inverter’s specifications are set out below as listed earlier in the “Machine
specifications” table.
Cutting speed: Speed 1 20 to 45 m/min.
Speed 2 35 to 90 m/min.

Choice of blade
When using band saws to cut metals, the correct tooth pitch, i.e. number of teeth
per inch (25.4 mm), must be selected to suit the stock being cut. The following
guidelines indicate the tooth pitch required for different types of cut:
- Thin---walled materials, such as sheet steel, pipes and profile sections require
a fine tooth pitch. 3 to 6 teeth should always be engaged in the depth of the
material at any one time.
- Large transversal sections instead require a coarse tooth pitch for easier chip
formation and improved tooth penetration.
- Soft materials (aluminium alloys, mild bronze etc.) also require a coarse
tooth pitch.
Tooth pitch
The number of teeth per inch selected therefore depends on a number of factors:
- the size of the section;
- the hardness of the material;
Version 25IM
- the thickness of the wall.

As a general rule, large dimensions require a coarse tooth pitch, while small
dimensions require a finer tooth pitch. In any case, alway make sure that at least
six teeth are engaged in the cut at any one time, using the thinnest vertical walls
transversal to the blade as a reference.
The following table provides a general guide of the number of teeth per inch
required in terms of material hardness:
MILD < 61 HRB HARD > 65 HRB

STEELS < 55 Kg/mm2 STEELS > 65 Kg/mm2
NR. TEETH / INCH NR. TEETH / INCH

MINIMUM 3/4 5/8
OPTIMUM 4/6 6 / 10
MAXIMUM 8 / 12 10 / 14
Cutting speed and downstroke speed

The cutting speed, expressed in m/min, and the downstroke speed, expressed in
cm2/min, are limited by the heat generated at the tips of the teeth. If the down-
stroke speed is too high, the cut will not be straight, either vertically or horizon-
tally.
As already mentioned, the cutting speed depends on the resistence (Kg/mm2) and
hardness (HRB) of the material and the size of the widest sections to be cut. The
downstroke speed instead depends on the stock section. It therefore follows that
large---section, solid or thick---walled materials (th > 5 mm) may be cut at high
downstroke speeds in accordance with the chip removal rate of the tool. Thin---
walled materials, such as narrow---gauge pipes or profile sections, must instead be
cut at low, constant downstroke speeds.
When working with a new blade, it must first be run in by reducing the down-
stroke speed to about half the normal operating speed (60 to 70 cm2/min on
normal steels), for a period commensurate with a removed surface area of about
300 --- 600 cm2.
Types of chip:
- Very fine, fragmented chips indicate that the downstroke speed and/or cutting
pressure is too low.
Cutting speed and choice of tools 9--3

MEP S.p.A.
- Thick and/or blue---coloured chips indicate excessive strain on the blade.
- Long, spiral---shaped chips indicate optimum cutting conditions.
Lubricant/coolant fluid
The lubricant/coolant system must function correctly to prevent the blade teeth
and stock cutting zone from overheating. The lubricant/coolant must also be
delivered at the rate and pressure needed to remove the chips from the cutting
zone. Only use quality lubricants to prevent tooth abrasion or the welding of chips
onto the teeth (seizure).

Version 25IM
Blade structure
The most commonly used blades are bi ---metal ones made from a silicon steel
body offering excellent fatigue resistance, and super high ---speed steel teeth. The
two parts are welded together using an electronic or laser---welding technique.
Standard teeth types are defined as M2 and M42. The main difference between
them is that M42 type teeth are harder due to the cobalt added to the steel.

Blade types
3150 x 27 x 0.9 mm blades are fitted on the SHARK 320. Their length can be
varied from 3130 mm to 3180 mm using the blade tensioning device. In addition
to their size and number of teeth per inch, blades also have other geometric
characteristics that vary depending on their particular application:
- tooth cutting angle (rake);
- tooth pitch;
- Multiple set configurations (i.e. different teeth patterns).
Conventional rake
0˚ rake with constant pitch
Suitable for general---purpose applications such as small or me-

dium---section cast iron and steel and rolled materials; ideal for both
straight and angled cuts.

MEP S.p.A.
Positive rake
9---10˚ positive rake with constant pitch
Suitable for cutting all types of materials, and in particular,

low carbon steel and non---ferrous materials. Also suitable for
large---section and diameter cuts.
Variable pitch rake

These blades feature groups of teeth with different pitches and, hence, different
tooth dimensions and relief angles. They are also available in M2 and M42
versions with zero or positive rakes. The alternating pattern of different teeth
helps eliminate vibrations and noise. This in turn extends the working life of the
tool and improves the surface finish of the cut.
A further advantage of this type of blade is the wide range of

materials it can cut, both in terms of type and dimensions.
0˚ rake with variable pitch

This type of tooth form is ideal for cutting single pipes and profile sections or
medium---sized bundles within the machine’s capacity range.
Available pitches: 3---4 / 4---6 / 5---7 / 5---8 / 6---10 / 8---12 / 10---14.
9 to 10˚ positive rake with variable pitch

This tooth form is ideal for cutting large, heavy---gauge pipes and profile sections
as well as solids, within the machine’s capacity range.

Version 25IM
Available pitches: 3---4 / 4---6.
Set:
The term set refers to the section of material removed by the blade during cutting
(width), due to the offset position of the teeth in relation to the back of the blade.
Standard or splayed set

This term describes an alternating tooth pattern comprising one tooth angled to the
right, one tooth angled to the left and one straight tooth.
Suitable for general---purpose applications on materials of more than 5 mm in

thickness. Also suitable for cutting steel, castings and hard non---ferrous ma-
terials.
Undulated set
This term describes an undulating tooth pattern that alternates to the right and
left.
This type of set is associated with very fine teeth and is used to cut narrow---gauge
pipes and profile sections (1 to 3 mm).
Alternating group set

This term describes a tooth pattern comprising a group of teeth angled to the
right, one straight tooth and another group angled to the left.
This type of set is associated with very fine teeth and is used to cut extremely
narrow---gauge sections (less than 1 mm).
Alternating set
This term describes an alternating tooth pattern with one tooth angled to the
right followed by another tooth angled to the left.
This type of set is used to cut mild non---ferrous materials, plastics and wood.

Troubleshooting
tables 10
This chapter describes the inspection and troubleshooting procedures for the
SHARK 320. Regular inspections and adequate maintenance are essential to
ensuring the machine’s trouble---free operation and long service life. This chapter
is divided into two parts: the first section deals with blade and cutting problems;
the second section instead deals with general machine operating errors. This
troubleshooting guide has been specially compiled to facilitate the identification
of faults and indicate the corrective measures required to eliminate them.
Blade and cutting diagnostics

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Blade scored or scratched ' Widia inserts chipped or worn . Replace

' Widia inserts loose or tight . Adjust
' Widia inserts dirty . Clean and re--adjust
Cutting surfaces scored ' Blade teeth worn . Replace blade

' Downstroke speed too fast . Reduce downstroke speed
' Cutting speed too slow . Increase cutting speed
' Blade teeth too wide . Replace with finer tooth blade
' Free blade guide head too far away . Move blade guide head closer so as
to leave exposed only the part of the
blade needed to effect the cut
' Blade tension low . Adjust to rated tension

' Broken teeth on blade . Check and replace blade
Blade path fault ' Front flywheel position incorrect . Make sure band is correctly posi-
(cuts bellied both vertically tioned on the wheel. Adjust position
and horizontally)
of wheel under the blade, by moving
the wheel shaft
' Flywheels worn . Replace
MATERIAL MATERIAL
' Gaps full of swarf . Clean inside machine using blown
air
' Blade guide head alignment . Check and adjust
10--1
MEP S.p.A.
Premature tooth wear ' Teeth angled in the wrong direction . Fit blade so that teeth point in the
right direction
' Blade run in wrongly . When using a new blade, the cutting
and downstroke speeds must be re-
duced to half the normal operating
speed. After the blade has been run
in (about 300 cm2 for hard materials
and about 1000 cm2 for soft ma-
terials), the cutting and downstroke
speeds may be returned to their
rated levels
' Material too hard . Check cutting speed, downstroke
speed and blade pressure para-
meters, and also the type of blade
used
' Material defects . Surface defects: oxides, sand, sur-
face hardening or hardened inclu-
sions in section.
Reduce cutting and downstroke
speeds or clean surface
' Cutting speed too high . The teeth slide on the material with-
out cutting: reduce cutting speed
' Downstroke speed too slow . The blade runs over the material
without removing it: increase down-
stroke speed
' Insufficient coolant . Check coolant level and clean fluid
lines and jets
' Incorrect fluid concentration . Check and use the correct con-
centration
' New blade inserted in a partially . The cutting surface may have been
made cut subjected to a localised heat--in-
duced alteration, making it harder:
recommence cut using a slower cut-
ting and downstroke speed. A tooth
from the old blade may be left in the
cut: check and remove before re-
starting work
' Flutter . Blade tension too low: tighten.
Tooth shape or pitch unsuitable:
change type of blade used.
Widia blade steady buttons too far
from the blade back: adjust guide
heads, by rotating them slightly to
bring them closer to the back of the
blade

Version 25IM
Cuts not orthogonal or inclined ' Head downstroke speed too fast . Reduce head downstroke speed
' Widia inserts worn . Replace
' Inserts loose . Adjust width
' Blade guide head positioned wrongly . Move mobile head up to the work-
piece to leave free only that part of
the blade actually needed to make
the cut
' Orthogonality of blade to workpiece . Check and realign the blade guide
rest shoulder heads and then readjust the blade
using the 0 adjustment pin so that it
is orthogonal to the shoulder. This
done, adjust the 45 right and left
stops using the corresponding
screws
' Perpendicularity of blade to work . Check and realign the blade guide
surface heads and then adjust the blade
using the corresponding screws so
that it is perpendicular to the work
surface
' Blade tension incorrect . Set pressure to 60 Bar
' Blade worn . Replace blade
' Tooth pitch unsuitable . A blade with too many teeth per inch
is probably being used. Change
blade for one with a coarser tooth
pitch
' Cutting speed too slow . Increase cutting speed
' Wrong coolant . Check the water and oil emulsion;
check that none of the holes or
hoses are blocked; direct the jets
correctly
' Broken teeth . Check the hardness of the material
being cut
Teeth broken ' Cutting speed too high . Reduce cutting speed
' Downstroke speed too high . Reduce downstroke speed
' Cutting pressure too high . Check and set to correct pressure
' Tooth pitch unsuitable . Teeth too close together: change
pitch
' Tooth gullets full of swarf . Check the blade--cleaning fluid jets
. Check blade--cleaning brush
' Swarf welded to teeth and gullets . Check blade--cleaning fluid jets
. Check blade--cleaning brush. If the
swarf is not removed from the blade
it will be drawn back into the cut and
weld to the teeth, causing the teeth
to break
Troubleshooting tables 10--3

MEP S.p.A.
Teeth broken (continued) ' Material defects . The material may have altered sur-
face areas, such as oxides or sand,
or subcooled inclusions in the sec-
tion. These areas are much harder
than the blade and will cause the
teeth to break: scrap or clean these
materials
' Workpiece not clamped . The blade may break if the work-
piece moves during cutting: check
the vice, jaws and clamping pres-
sure
' The blade stops in the cut . Cutting pressure too high: check and
restore to rated pressure
. Downstroke speed too fast: reduce
speed
. Cutting speed too slow: increase
. The blade slips on the flywheels:
either the wheels are worn and need
to be replaced or the blade tension is
incorrect (too low) and must be re--
adjusted
' New blade inserted in a partially . The cutting surface may have been
made cut subjected to a localised heat--in-
duced alteration, making it harder:
recommence cut using a slower cut-
ting and downstroke speed
. A tooth from the old blade may be
left in the cut: check and remove be-
fore restarting work
' Widia inserts positioned incorrectly . Adjust the position of the inserts, es-
pecially the width, since blade thick-
nesses can exceed the manufac-
turer’s declared tolerance ratings
' Widia blade steady buttons . Two widia blade steady buttons are
located in the top of the blade guide
heads which press on the back of
the blade to transmit cutting pres-
sure. If these buttons are too far from
the blade, the blade may be prone to
an up and down undulating action or
abnormal vibrations, liable to cause
the teeth to break: adjust the position
of the heads by rotating them down-
wards so as to bring the blade
steady buttons up against the back
of the blade
' Sections with large thickness vari- . The cutting speed and downstroke
ations speed must be chosen to suit the
most critical part of the cut
' Teeth angled in the wrong direction . Fit blade so that teeth point in the
right direction

Version 25IM
Teeth broken (continued) ' Blade run in wrongly . When using a new blade, the cutting
and downstroke speeds must be re-
duced to half the normal operating
speed. After the blade has been
worn in (about 300 cm2 for hard ma-
terials and about 1000 cm2 for soft
materials) the cutting and down-
stroke speeds may be returned to
their rated levels
' Insufficient coolant . Check coolant level and clean fluid
lines and jets
centration
' Blade tension too high or too low . Check and reset to rated tension
Blade broken ' Cutting speed too high . Reduce cutting speed
' Downstroke speed too high . Reduce downstroke speed
' Cutting pressure too high . Check and set to correct pressure
' Tooth pitch unsuitable . Teeth too close together: change
pitch
' Workpiece not clamped . The blade may break if the work-
piece moves during cutting: check
the vice, jaws and clamping pres-
sure
' Widia inserts positioned incorrectly . Adjust the position of the inserts, es-
pecially the width, since blade thick-
nesses can exceed the manufac-
turer’s declared tolerance ratings
' Widia blade steady buttons . Can exert a milling action on the
back of the blade if worn or chipped,
causing cracks to appear from the
back towards the teeth
' Position of blade on wheels incorrect . The blade may be scraping against
the edges of the flywheels: this prob-
lem is generally caused by blades
which are deformed or incorrectly
welded (conical). Adjust the position
of the front flywheel by moving the
pin, or change the blade
' Blade tension incorrect . If the blade tension is too high or too
low, the blade will be subjected to
abnormal stress: set the tension
back to the rated value
' Blade weld fault . The point at which a blade is welded

is its most critical point; problems
could be caused by welds which are
not perfectly aligned or have inclu-
sions or blowholes: replace blade

MEP S.p.A.
Blade broken (continued) ' Free blade guide head . The head is too far away from the
workpiece: move the head closer,
leaving free only that part of the
blade actually needed to make the
cut
' Teeth in contact with the material be- . Always check the position of the
fore starting the cut blade before starting a new job, es-
pecially when working in semi--auto-
matic mode
' Widia inserts . If worn, the inserts can score the
blade, weakening it even to breaking
point. If the inserts are too far apart,
the blade will whip, striking both the
inserts and the material. Replace or
adjust
' Insufficient coolant . Check coolant fluid level; clean cool-
ant lines and jets
centration
' The blade stops in the cut . Cutting pressure too high: check and
restore to rated pressure
. Downstroke speed too fast: reduce
. Cutting speed too slow: increase
. The blade slips on the flywheels: in-
correct or low blade tension; reset or
increase

Version 25IM
Troubleshooting (control console diagnostics)
This section deals with the problems which may occur during machine operation.
The MEP 20 controller allows you to test all the machine’s electric and electronic
devices by checking the status of the input and output signals on the IUD/IUV
card (see Chapter 6).
As with the SET---UP parameters, the alarm and emergency diagnostics system
varies from model to model. This is because the message display on the LUX
version is not available on the SET and DUTY models, and also, because the SX
models (electro---pneumatic) have a different functional configuration to the SXI
models (electro---hydraulic).
Warning The diagnostics procedure described below applies to all Shark 320 SX--SXI
models in the LUX version only, since only this version is equipped with a
message display. The diagnostics function is instead only available on the SET
and DUTY versions if a display is connected to the machine console.
Displaying the diagnostics menu

" Power up the machine at the main switch on the left hand side of the base.
" Sequentially and simultaneously press the CHECK and BAR/PSI keys to
open the machine’s diagnostics menu.

MEP S.p.A.
Diagnostics system on SX models (LUX)

Once you have opened the diagnostics menu, a set of characters, each correspon-
ding to an OUTPUT signal on the MEP 20 controller, is displayed.
For further information about the machine’s outputs, refer to the electrical and
electronic diagrams illustrated in Chapter 6 of this manual.
List of IUD--IUV card OUTPUTS

The IUD/IUV card is mounted on the electrical panel inside the machine base.
Coolant electric pump Lock solenoid valve
Vice Opening / Closure Head air delivery solenoid valve
Head Downstroke / Upstroke Regenerator solenoid valve
Speed 2 Not used
Speed 2 -- D--S Not used
Speed 1 Inverter start
Button id. number
" Digits 0 and 1 on the top line of the display, indicate the OFF (0) or ON (1)
status of each output. Simply activate or deactivate the devices corresponding
to the outputs to test their operation.
" Each time you press the relative button, the screen display changes from 0 to
1 or vice versa.

Version 25IM
Testing the control console keyboard

Each console key has an identification number which is displayed on the diagnos-
tics screen after the letter “K”, when the key is pressed. For example, if the
button for the second speed is pressed (HARE button), next to the letter “K”, the
figure 02 appears:
U:00001000010 0 K:02
127 000 255 077
If the “K” digit does not change when you press the HARE key, the fault may be
attributed to the console key, which does not close the circuit when pressed.
Error diagnostics
After testing the console keyboard, test the electrical and electronic devices
installed on the machine.
" Press RESET to enable the controller’s Outputs.
" Following the key diagram illustrated below, test the actuator for the output
selected.

(CUTTING HEAD CYLINDER SERVOVALVE)
This number allows you to establish whether the
fault is caused by the potentiometer, connections or
IUV card. To check, turn the potentiometer and see
whether the 3---digit number changes as you turn the
knob.
Step motor potentiometer
CURRENT TRANSFORMER INDICATING BLADE

MOTOR ABSORPTION
If the blade motor current display is blank, the fault
may be caused by the “CURRENT TRANS-
FORMER”, display, connections or IUV card input.
Current transformer
HEAD CYLINDER TRANSDUCER POTENTIO-

METER (CUTTING HEAD POSITION)
If the value displayed on the screen does not change
when the head is moved up or down, the fault may be
caused by the transducer potentiometer, connections
Head position potentiometer or IUV card. To check, move the head manually and
see whether the value changes on the display.
STRAIN GAUGE FOR BLADE TENSION

TRANSDUCER (ELECTRONIC BLADE
TENSIONER)
If the blade tension value does not change when you
turn the blade tensioning handwheel, the fault may be
caused by the tensioning device, display or IUV card.
To check, tension or slacken the blade and see whether
Blade tensioner the value changes on the display.

MEP S.p.A.
Machine alarms and emergencies

The machine’s MEP 20 controller notifies the operator of any alarm or emergen-
cy condition which may occur during production by way of acoustic and visual
signals. This section lists the messages shown on the display on LUX models and
indicated by the flashing led configurations on the SET and DUTY models.
Led coding on SET and DUTY models

This section describes how to interpret the status of the indicator leds on the SET
and DUTY models, which unlike the LUX versions, are not equipped with a
display.
" For this purpose, we will examine the leds on the following keys:
Coolant spray Coolant closed Coolant open Vice closure
gun
LED
Warning For simplicity’s sake, flashing leds are identified as 1 while extinguished leds
are identified as 0.
" For example, in the case of the alarm message shown below (as displayed on
LUX models):
PRESS RESET
COMMAND INHIBITED
" the flashing leds on the SET and DUTY models are as follows:
0 1 0 0
N.B. The alarm message “COMMAND INHIBITED” indicates a conflicting command.

For example, if, during a semi--automatic cycle a foot pedal START is program-
med and the cycle is then activated from the console, the two conflicting com-
mands cause the machine to shut down.
We must also consider the status of the alarm or emergency condition (active/
inactive). The alarm/emergency status is indicated by the led on the CUTTING
VICE OPENING key:
