General information

The ANAB automatic sharpening machine X5 Is an automatic grinding machine for sawing

and machine chains. Through the operation and adjustment possibility of the machine,

almost all chain types can be ground.

By automatically sensing the cutting teeth the grinding wheel is always in the correct

position. The machine works electro-pneumatically and is equipped with a programmable

control unit.

The electrical equipment is protected in the lower part of the machine.

The construction is designed for long and uninterrupted operation, only simple servicing is

required.

Service work or re - adjustment of the machine should always be carried out by trained

Personnel.

The following settings must be made before the sharpening process:

Adjust the chain gauges

Gap setting

Adjusting the depth / depth measurement delimiter

Adjust the tooth length

Compressed air

Number of cutting teeth

Adjust the sharpening angles αand β.

Safety regulations

For all work on the machine (e.g. when profiling the grinding wheel)

Wear protective clothing, gloves and facial masks!

In the vicinity of the machine, hearing protection should be used!

Always use grinding wheels recommended by ANAB!

Always check saw chains for damage before sharpening

(e.g. damaged teeth or rivets)!

Settings

Sharpening:

The ANAB X5 Is designed for sharpening saw chains with a tooth pitch up to 20 mm and a

drive link thickness of up to 3.0 mm.

Before sharpening:

In principle, it is possible to grind difficult or damaged chains, but for safety reasons it is

not recommended.

Check the chains carefully before grinding. Pay particular attention to cracks on the rivets

and discard damaged or worn chains.

Common chain damage - for example:

Stiff, tight chains, badly lubricated chains with seized rivets.

Strong impact or abrasive damage to the cutting teeth.

Bent teeth or links.

Fatigue damage, cracking on the rivets.

Too short cutting teeth (the tooth length must be min. 5 mm)

Strikingly unequal length of the cutting teeth.

Very unevenly ground chains.

Dry chains, loose rivets.

Working principle:

The machine scans each cutting tooth separately as the saw chain advances and recognizes

independently whether a "left" or "right" cutting tooth is in the sharpening position.

Accordingly, the grinding wheel is pivoted and then the grinding unit is moved for

sharpening.

Settings

Compressed air:

The compressed air should be shut off with the air shut-off valve when the machine

is not in use.

Slowly open the shut-off valve.

Adjust the air pressure with the valve to 6 bar on.(See page 19).

Drive link thickness:

1. Loosen the locking handle under the chain holder.

2. Set the correct drive link thickness using the adjustment

knob .

3. Increase or decrease the gap between the chain rail

plates with the adjusting knobs for drive link, so

that the chain runs easily.

4. Close the locking handle again.

Adjustment of the tooth division

1. Turn off the compressed air.

2. Loosen the clamping lever for the tooth-setting.

(see Figure 1).

3. Slide the holder to the correct value on the scale.

4. After adjustment, tighten the clamping lever.

Figure 1

5. Check the feed for the current chain.

You can do this in step operation do.

Settings

Feed setting:

The changes to the feed setting only need to be made when changing to another

chain type.

Power and compressed air are switched on. The right grinding wheel is tense.

(See the table page 4)

1. Place the chain in the chain holder.

2. Loosen the lock and turn the grinding wheel up with the hand wheel

3. Move the chain so that a cutting tooth is in front of the tooth feed.

If you press the feed down, check whether the correct feed-

sensor Is actuated. (See Figure 2)

Figure 2

Distance between feed plate and drive elements

This setting is necessary to ensure the feed pushes

the chain only on back of a cutting tooth and not on

a connecting member.

1. Go to the Step operation side. (Press the start-

button for more than two seconds.)

2. Proceed step by step until a cutting tooth

has been advanced.

3. Use the rotary knob to adjust the distance to

drive to approx. 0.5 mm

Settings

Grinding depth and grinding rate:

1. Make sure you have that grinding wheel turned up. Then switch the power on

with the main switch .

2. Press the start button longer than two (2) seconds to get to the step operationpage.

3. Press the step button again . The machine now starts a feed, at the same time the

grinding wheel moves to the right position. Press once so the feed is returned.

4. When the next short press on the step button, the grinding wheel goes down and remains

below. The lowering speed is adjusted with the rotary knob. (for up to 15 seconds).

5. Use the hand wheel to turn down the grinding wheel and check the grinding quantity.

If the grinding rate is too great, i.e. the grinding wheel is too far on the cutting tooth, it

can be reduced with the rotary knob . (Rotate anti-clockwise).

6. If the grinding quantity is too small, you can increase the grinding quantity using the

rotary knob . (Rotate clockwise)

7. If you are satisfied with the setting, leave the step operation page by briefly pressing the

stop button . To set the counter to zero press the stop button for more than two (2)

seconds.
