Mitek Automated Component Saw Cyber A/T

The waste conveyor and optional incline conveyor belting usually needs replacing every 3 years, depending on use and maintenance. Use the following steps as a guide for replacing either the main belt or the incline belt.

1. Place the saw in the Semiautomatic Mode by pressing the SEMI-AUTO button on the touch screen’s Main Menu.

2. Use the WASTE CONVEYOR button to run the conveyor until the lacing connection is near the head roller at the drive end.

3. Turn off all power to the saw, following approved lockout/tagout procedures.

4. Relieve the tension on the belt using the tensioning bolts (next to the roller).

5. Using a pair of pliers, remove the wire that is threaded through the lacing and save the wire for reassembly.

7. Clean the sawdust and chips from the entire length of the metal conveyor bed.

Lubricate the lumber stop rack and pinion with a kerosene and oil mixture

Check that all labels can be easily read

Check external wiring for kinks and wear

Check that heel cut skid bars, center lumber support, and floor truss web riser bars are in good condition and height is properly adjusted

Clean the following components with a rag and light cleaning solvent: Square drive shaft, Length scale, Angulation scales, Slides and castings

Check saw blade taper lock bushings

Check oil levels in the unsealed gearboxes and add oil if necessary

Place the saw in the Semiautomatic Mode by pressing the SEMI-AUTO button on the touch screen’s Main Menu.

Enter 90° for all blade angles.

Place a board on the conveyor so that it will not touch the blades as it passes them.

Use the infeed conveyor FORWARD jog button to move the board until it is under the hold-down and on the lumber guide.

Mark the board on both sides of the flight on both sides of the machine.

Move the board to the exit side and stop it before it leaves the lumber guide.

Measure the distance between the mark and the flights.

If the measurement is more than 1/16 in., continue with this procedure.

Blade draft refers to the correct angle of a saw blade so that the leading edge of the blade contacts the lumber and the trailing edge does not. An accurate blade draft prevents splintering of the lumber. Figure 2-29 illustrates proper blade draft.

The angle should be very slight and is set by MiTek during manufacturing. Small adjustments may be necessary after certain maintenance is performed.

Checking the Blade Draft at 90°:

1. Place the saw in the Semiautomatic Mode by pressing the SEMI-AUTO button on the touch screen’s Main Menu.

2. Enter 90° for all blade angles.

3. Enter 1-3/4 for all the blade centerlines.

5. Press the INITIATE SETUP button.

6. Press the START button to start the blades.
