A 75HP (55kW), severe duty, cast iron, 1780rpm, NEMA premium efficiency induction motor with a tachometer and thermistor protection is provided as standard. The spindle motor speed is infinitely variable and rated to 3,200 RPM to be able to achieve constant Vc of 16,000sfm/80m/s at a wheel diameter down to 22” or at 12,000sfm/60m/s at 16.5”. The drive includes standard VFD features as well as ProfiSafe communications, Safe Torque Off (“STO”), Safe Stop One (“SS1”), Safe Limited Speed (SLS) and other safety-related functionality. Motor control system also includes a stand-alone “zero-speed” safety monitoring relay. The drive and PLC monitor cutting power and actual wheel speed and can abort overly aggressive cuts to protect the operator and machine.
Using dynamic braking, the main spindle motor is rapidly stopped at the end of cut by the VFD. Braking is important for productivity since the door interlocks will not unlock until the zero-speed safety relay detects that the wheel is no longer spinning. For automated installations, the wheel “hovers” over the work piece and remains running during part repositioning to minimize cycle time.
For setup and wheel change, the Y-axis is positioned by the operator jogging buttons on the operator station which actuates a proportional directional valve (provided safety interlock conditions are met). For semi-automatic cutting cycles, the PLC controls all clamping and axis movement according to the selected speed settings.
The hydraulic system is energized by an appropriately sized power unit complete with variable displacement pump, reservoir, pressure relief valve, proportional-directional valves, counterbalance circuits, pressure override circuits, and associated control switches and safety valving. The power unit also controls hydraulic work clamping, if so equipped.
System allows operator to program the finish part lengths and process multiple cuts on a bar. An up to 25’ (7.6m) working length raw stock canted infeed roller conveyor and programmable bar positioner is provided for automatic bar processing. Includes a hand-held touch screen HMI for base loader/positioner and for interface with the saw operations. Allows operator to program cut lengths and number of cuts. Saw system will then cut bar to programmed lengths and keep track of number of good pieces (ignores stub ends).
Roller conveyor is made up of replaceable 2.75”Dx0.3” wall rollers on A80 double-shielded bearing on 1” hex axles on 7.5” centers set 1-5/8”low in 8”@11.5# channel frames. Conveyor sized for stock weighing up to 5,000 lbs (2,275 kg) and is rated for rolling 4,300#/ft. When a raw bar is manually or automatically loaded, the AC, absolute encoder, servo motor and gear box driven pusher advances the raw bar to a flip- up stop to establish overall length. The stop then retracts, and the bar is advanced into the cut position. Once at cut position, the bar is clamped, and cut. The bar then advances to the next cut position thereby pushing the cut piece out of the cut zone and on to the exit conveyor. The operator controls the part length, stub end disposition, and number of cut pieces through job menu entries on the touchscreen HMI. The system can be programmed to flash a light and make audible sounds when saw blade needs to be changed, when bar feeder is empty, or when a short bar-end needs to be manually extracted.

The Everett Industrial Solutions Cutoff System is not your typical tool-room type saw. It is
designed, tooled, and programmed for production-cutting and when combined with robotic or
mechanical part handling and positioning accessories, can be the center of a highly automated
production cell. Highly trained and skilled operators are not required and that fact was carefully
considered when we designed the health and safety aspects of this highly automated cutting
system.
The saw is built on a structural weldment with integral fork pockets and wireways.
A strategically placed baffle impinges sparks from the cut and decelerates larger particles so they
drop into the easily removable debris drawer for clean out. The saw head and work holding
devices are aligned on ground top plates mounted to the base. The compact design minimizes
required floor space.
The saw system is controlled by our intuitive Sever-It, menu-based abrasive cutting software. The Sever-It software is comprehensive and controls not only the cutting recipe but also all machine movement, machine monitoring, maintenance, and manual operations of the machine system. The software is equipped with multiple user groups that allow selective access to administrative, maintenance, process engineering, and operator users so the machine operates consistently shift-to-shift and day-to- day. The menu, safety, and cutting routines are proprietary to Everett, no source code is provided.
The Sever-It software automates the machine and operator functions of a typical manual, dirty, noisy, and high residual-risk saw run by a skilled and experienced operator…without the difficulty of hiring, training, and retaining an operator. Standard features include:
Sophisticated cutting routines
Simple changeover and process controls
Wheel diameter tracking
A machine learning algorithm for improved performance
Advanced system protection features
