For putting available the bars to be cut in every cutting process, a counter
trough, which is to be opened or closed pneumatically, will be arranged
directly before the infeed conveyor.
As option, there can be delivered an indication for the bar diameter and for the
number of bars.
Normally, the counting of the bars to be cut for the following cutting process
will be realized from the gangway by part of a second operator.

Cutting line
Consisting of :
infeed conveyor
shears
measuring conveyor
Infeed conveyor :
A roller conveyor with driven conveyor rollers, reversible, roller distance
approx. 1000 mm. Approx. 6 m before the shears, the roller conveyor will
be lowered at every cutting process.
Shears :
In the frame, within a range of 0,5 m, the shear is arranged in such a manner
that it can be moved. The positioning of the shear will be realized
automatically with two velocities. On the side of the infeed conveyor is a
driven infeed roller which can be swivelled downwards by means of
pushbutton so that the bar residues can fall safely into the scrap bucket.

When scanning the following tag, the following data should appear at the
monitor:
Diameter 20
Desired pieces 10
Length 2521
Variant 1:
If the table for the cut data is empty, a tag can be scanned by
means of the scanner. The diameter of the tag will be entered in the
headline, there must only be entered the Material Length by means of
manual data input.
Now, there can only be scanned tags with this diameter.
The data on the tag must be coded in the PDF format according to the
Regulations of the BVBS.
Ten tags can be scanned maximally.
When having realized one position, a new tag can be scanned in this line.
The manipulation of the scanner has been described in the chapter "Options".
Variant 2:
One tag contains the data for one cutting order.
The data of the first tag will be indicated at the monitor. Further tags can be
scanned.
When having realized the first cutting order, the data of the following tag
appear automatically.
The data will be executed in that sequence in which they have been scanned.

Optimization
The optimization will be realized according to a simplified optimization

procedure. If various cut length have been entered in the table for the
cut data, the maximally 10 cutting positions will be combined, after having
manipulated the key F4= Optimization, in such a manner that a small
Residual Length is left. During the optimization, there will be considered
the Quantity of the bars which are to be inserted simultaneously and
which is to be taken from the upper line in the screen. It can occur that the
Quantity must be corrected downwards so that, during the further
optimization, the cutting position will be considered and finished.
Cutting positions with residual pieces exceeding the lower limit of the
"Quantity of bars" will not be considered during the optimization.
If the data have been read in by means of scanner, the box distribution will be
realized automatically during th optimization. The same can be modified
manually.
During the optimization, the quantity of the cuts of the selected cutting
positions will be entered in the column "Cuts".
The filling capacity of the boxes will not be monitored by the system. The
operator has to discharge the box in time.
When being realized one cutting position, there is to be optimized anew.
The box of the finished cutting position will not be occupied; it will only be
occupied if, por manual input, the operator has overwritten the box number
with "00000".
Data transmission from a Host-PC (superior system)
Two variants are possible:
Variant 1:
• The Host-PC transmits automatically 10 cutting positions towards the
operator PC.
• Optimization and processing will be realized, like in case of the scanner
operation, in the menu "Production".
• The Host-PC transmits new cutting positions automatically.

Variant 2:
• The Host-PC transmits optimized cut lists.
Every cut list can contain only 60 cutting positions.
• The transmitted cut lists will be stored in the user memory of the operator
PC.
• Maximally 60 cut lists with every one cutting position (or 60 cutting
positions) can be stored.
• In the menu "Production" will be indicated one cutting position.
• The cutting positions will be realized in the receive sequence.
• Realized cutting positions will be overwritten automatically through new
cutting positions.

7.4 Operation of the Machine
Before beginning with the production, following points are to be checked:
- the oil level at the hydraulic tank,

- is the system lubricated?,
- are all the safety devices functional?,
- are all the EMERGENCY-STOP buttons unlocked?
Now the machine can be switched on.
- The main switch at the switch cabinet is to be switched on

- The control is to be switched on
- The hydraulic motor is running
- The cut data are to be entred at the monitor.
In the mode of operation "Setting-up", there will be

deleted all the cutting data in the equipment.
The operator is responsable that no material will
be in the equipment.
Note !
The raw material, being sorted according to diameters, is stored on the

material supporting frame.
When appearing on the display screen the message No reference point, the
shear is to be moved, in the mode of operation "Manual", by means of the
button "Infeed conveyor < >“, into the final position at the measuring conveyor.

Insert concrete-steel bars into the counter trough
For taking off the material, the individual compartments in the material
supporting frame can be opened by means of twist switch.
According to the input at the monitor, Diameter and Quantity of the bars
which will be cut simultaneously, the material will be counted, through an
outlet oblique part, into the counter trough.
The front ends of the bars should not be inserted in such a manner that they
are displaced longitudinally to each other too much.
By means of the key "Counter Trough", the counter trough will be opened and
the material falls into the infeed conveyor.
Make even the material.
After having actuated the button "Even stopper", the 0,5 m stopper will be
moved upwards.
By means of the twist switch "Material < >", the material will be made even, at
the head end, before the stopper.
Now the material must be moved out of the shears range.
During the material transport, individual bars

can hook together and jump out of the conveyor.
A further person is not allowed to stay at the
machine.
The operator controls that nobody can be
injured through movements of the machine or of
the material.
Danger !

Start the automatic sequence.
Switch on the mode of operation AUTOMATIC at the mode selector switch.
The cutting process will be started by means of the button "F2 Start.
Cut length
- The length stopper will be moved upwards automatically,

the shear will be moved onto the cutting position.
- The material will be positioned in front of the length
stopper for the first cut length,
- the shear executes the cut.
During the transport and during the cut, the

concrete bars have to be side by side,
they must never be arranged disorderly.
That can cause malfunctions in the automatic
sequence and at the machine.
Warning !
Cut
When the material has reached the length stopper and when the shear is in its
cutting position, the cut will be realized automatically.
In this connection, a holding-down device prevents the "Jumping" of the cut
bars and the infeed conveyor lowers in the front range.

Distribution
- The box stopper will be moved upwards automatically

- The cut bars will be positioned in front of the box
stopper.
- The trough arms of the preselected collector trough
will be opened.
- The transfer device moves upwards and rolls the
material into the preselected collector trough.
During the production, the operator supervises

the machine from the control desk.
In case of danger, the machine can be stopped
button.
During the production process, the material must

never be bundled in the collector troughs.
Danger !
If further cut lengths are programmed, the material will be trasported again to
the respective stopper, the shear will be moved onto the cutting position, the
material will be cut and thrown into the programmed box.
Last cut
When the final cut has been made the guide roller lowers automatically. This
makes it easier for the residual scrap to fall out.
Remnants of bars, which are left, must be removed

from the shears by hand.
Warning!
Using the “Guide Roller down” key the latter can be swung downwards,
making it easier to remove the residual

Equipments with transport and distribution systems
So that, after the last cut, the new material can be made "Even", the selector
switch "Roller Conveyor Automatic 0 / 1" must be switched on.
Now, the material will be controlled in the transport and distribution system
automatically.
Now, the bars of the following cutting position, being in the counter trough, can
be thrown, in the mode of operation "Manual", onto the infeed conveyor and
they can be positioned in front of the even stopper.
The following cutting process can already be started.
Remove the material
The selector gates of the collector troughs can be opened, by means of the
button "Discharge", from the control desk and also from a control panel at the
end of the collector troughs, for discharging the crane.
An individual trough can be selected by means of the button immediately after
having switched on the crane discharge.
Now, the equipment is blocked for the transfer to this side. This side will only
be released if the button "Discharge" will be actuated anew.
