• Inductive Sensors
8 made-in-Germany sensors from IFM reference IN5125 monitor the key grinding motions and ensure they do not exceed the safety limits.
This includes the followings:
– Backward limit point
– Forward limit point (GP start)
– Forward limit point (GP end)
– Outfeed / Infeed limit point
– Bevel angle zero / limit point
– Feed pawl limit point
– Tool Adjustment Protection
– Top/Face Position Switching Point

IFM Inductive Sensors

• Yuken Solenoid Valves
5 Solenoid Valve from Japanese Yuken DSG-01 series regulate the hydraulic fluid for the controls of grinding path, feed pawl, large pitch, saw blade clamp and clearance angle brake.

Solenoid Valves

• Full Safety Enclosure
The machine enclosure comes with a safety sensor from the German Schneider to ensure that both doors are closed before starting the grinding operations.

Door Safety Sensors

• Heat Exchanger
This Made-in-Taiwan equipment cools down the electronic components inside the electrical cabinet and ensures the best conditions for industrial applications.
