3. Installation
3.1. Space Requirements
You can install the machine on any suitable and even floor (concrete) in a factory hall. Observe the allowed floor load. The machine
should be aligned using the underlay sheets under the base anchors (not included in the shipment).
While preparing the cutting, the operating staff is allowed to move around the machine only when the machine is not running. When
the machine is running, the operator has to stay only at the control panel so that he/she is able to switch off the machine any time. The
operator must also ensure that no other persons are present in or near the working area of the machine. No unauthorised personnel
may enter the danger zone. To prevent injury, the danger zone must also be level and free from any foreign objects and obstacles.
Recommendations/requirements:
• Allow for sufficient space for the feeding and removal of the workpiece and the machine maintenance - the operator's working area
should be delineated at 1 m minimum around the machine and 0.5 m around the roller conveyors.
• In order to ensure safe handling of workpieces and protection of the space behind the cut from falling cut-off pieces, one or more
roller conveyors must be installed, possibly a container for falling cut-off workpieces.
• Install a lift mechanism for heavy workpieces.
• Ensure proper lighting at the workplace.

3.2. Removal of Temporary Transport Beams and Fixation of the Machine
Use a pallet truck/a crane to lift the machine and place it directly on the desired location in the workplace. Unscrew the bolts that hold
the machine in place and remove the transport beams. Lift the machine with a crane, remove the beams and lower the machine onto
the floor. Level the machine by laying metal sheets under its legs, possibly anchor to the floor. Remove the anticorrosion film and dust
from sliding surfaces and apply oil. Ensure connection to the mains (see section 3.4.). Pour the coolant (maximum 30 litres) into the
tank; the fluid will gradually flow into the container in the base. The hydraulic unit is fitted with two filling holes that are covered by red
transport caps during the transport (see section 6.5.). The cap that is more accessible to the operator has to be removed and
replaced by a filling cap, otherwise a risk of making the entire system inoperable arises, along with the risk of pump damage.
When handling coolants, risks linked to hazardous substances cannot be avoided. Observe the national
norms and recommendations/manufacturer’s or your company’s operating instructions related to safe
handling of coolants.
3.3. Machine installation
Protect the machine against humidity, rain and dust!
The machine may be operated in the ambient temperature between + 5° and + 40°C. The average air temperature must not exceed +
35°C within 24 hours.In temperatures below + 5°C the conventional coolants should be replaced by coolants designed for respective
temperatures. In addition to that, replace the oil in the hydraulic unit for a less viscous one.
3.4. Connection to the Mains
Such operations must be carried out only by persons with electrician qualifications!
Make sure that the grid voltage, the voltage protection and the connection voltage comply with the power requirements specified in
the point 2. Technical parameters. Only current protection of S characteristics can be installed (for a frequency converter). When
connecting the machine to the mains (3 NPe 50 Hz, 400 V, TN-S), mind the colour coding of wires carefully: L1 brown, L2 black,
L3 grey, N blue, PE yellow-brown. Improper connection of the neutral or PE wires may lead to damage of the electrical
equipment or to and electric shock! Connect the power cable to a protected 16 A socket, in case of direct connection to the mains it
is necessary to fit the supply with a lockable Power switch. If the motor rotates in an incorrect direction, swap the conductors L1
brown and L2 black on the junction box.
Failure to observe the aforementioned may lead to incorrect rotation of the bandsaw and the coolant pump.
Danger: Damage to the machine!
3.5. Releasing the ARG 520 DC CF-NC
The arm is fastened to both columns for transport. Release the arm by removing the M10x60 Allen bolts on both columns. Note:
During operation, ensure a clearance of approximately 5 mm between the M16x45 setting screws and the saw arm in the
lower position with the moving guide fully open. Set during machine assembly.

Horizontal metal-cutting band saws allow for cutting of a wide range of different materials. Machines ARG 260 CF-NC, ARG 300 CF-
NC and ARG 330 CF-NC are articulated/swing NC automatic machines in which the arm moves along a curve while descending. By
contrast, the ARG 300 DCT CF-NC, ARG 330 DC CF-NC and ARG 520 DC CF-NC are 2-column NC automatic machines, in which is
the saw blade arm fitted on linear guidings and moves along a line. This ensures maximum rigidity of the entire system, ideal course
of the descent and thus also the accuracy and speed of the cut.
As the cutting tool, a welded saw blade is used, which is tensioned mechanically via a blade wheel. The saw blade is driven by an
impeller, which is driven by a single-speed motor via a worm-gear unit (conical face gearbox in the version of ARG 520 DC CF-NC
with optional accessories). In the machining zone, the saw blade guided through the saw blade guide heads. Outside the machining
zone the saw blade is protected by moving and fixed guards. The machine is equipped with a frequency converter that allows
a smooth regulation of the saw blade speed in the range of 15-90 m/min. Material clamping and the arm feed into the cut and back are
controlled hydraulically. The servo motor and the ball screw ensure high speed and maximum accuracy of material feeding.
Maximum length of a single feed is 500 mm, in ARG 520 DC CF-NC 600 mm. The control unit allows for programming of up to 60
programmes for quick setting of the feed length and number of pieces. Each program can be made active (the cut is performed) or
passive (the cut is not performed). Also, each programme can be annotated, e.g. by the drawing number. After programming and
pressing the only switch in the automatic mode, the whole cutting cycle is performed - moving of the material to the pre-set length by
the movable vice, workpiece clamping by the fixed vice, starting of the saw blade, the cut, stopping of the saw blade, lifting of the arm
to the upper position (adjustable) and opening od the fixed vice. The machine continues cutting according to number of set pieces,
and in case there are also other set programs, the machine will proceed with cutting of the other series. All functions can be controlled
separately. The machine can be controlled in fully automatic, semi-automatic or manual mode. The vice pressure control is included
in the basic version of the machine. NC machines are equipped with a removable container for the sawdust. In machines ARG 260
CF- NC, ARG 300 CF-NC, ARG 300 DCT CF-NC and ARG 330 CF-NC, it is possible to cut at an angle in the range of 90° - 45°.
Swinging of the arm is performed manually.

After pressing the button SERIES, a screen for viewing
and setting of the cut series will appear on the display.
Downcutting is used for cutting off the end of the newly
inserted material. Insert the material so that the cut is
under the saw blade (the material will not move during
downcutting). After pressing the downcutting button, both
vices will clamp, the cut will be performed, the arm will
ascend to the upper position and the left vice will be
released. The right vice will still hold the material prepared
for serial cutting. It is not necessary to perform the
downcutting when it is not needed.
For example, when switching from the MANUAL MODE to
the AUTOMATIC MODE, the machine does not
automatically switch to the starting position. Therefore is it
necessary, after checking the position of the material etc.,
to press the PRIMARY POSITION button - the hydraulic
unit will switch on, the arm will ascend to the upper
position, the vices will release and the left vice will move to
position 0 mm.
