| CIRCLE SAW LEVELER |
|
| Armstrong's automatic circle saw Leveler is ideal for
the 16" to 32" (400mm to 815mm) diameter splined arbor saws
widely used in guided rotary gangs. |
Double-acting
leveling rolls center the saw
The saw is clamped between a pair of three-piece leveling rolls which
automatically center the saw and level in both directions on every
pass.
Perfect pressure every time
Every Armstrong Leveler comes with a hardness testing gauge to
determine the hardness of each saw as they enter the filing
room. Heavier, harder saws are ensured of getting additional
pressure needed for leveling.

| Built Armstrong tough for years of service |
| Armstrong has been serving the needs of filers since
1902 and continues to deliver new and innovative equipment to increase
productivity and quality. |
| The Armstrong Circle Saw Leveler Features: |
- Vertical design eliminates the effects of gravity and
makes the machine much easier and safer to load.
- Color touch screen makes it especially easy to learn and operate
the Armstrong Leveler. The screen display continually reports
the saw's
condition during the leveling process so the operator immediately
knows if an additional pass is needed.
Never needs "tramming" (the troublesome realignment
of the machine to saw that operators of other machines must frequently
make)
because the sensor moves with the four carbide rails that stabilize
the saw to a perfectly flat plane.
- Operators can choose from two leveling modes by pressing one
button on the touch screen. Most saws can be leveled in the
standard
mode that makes two passes over the entire saw plate. A 22" (550mm)
saw can be leveled in less than 8 minutes in this mode. More severely
out-of-level saws are "mapped" first, so the biggest lumps
are pre-leveled before automatically proceeding to make the two "standard
mode" leveling passes.
- Saws "float" on the centering mandrel, just as they do on
splined saw arbors, so the eye does not distort the flatness of the
saw plate. The Armstrong Leveler works to within 3/4" (20
mm) of the O.D. of the eye.
- The Armstrong Leveler "remembers" how
the head filer wants the saw to be leveled and stores up to six
different saw
type settings
to minimize set-up and reduce operator time. More saws
can be leveled each shift
- A non-contact sensor and superior saw stabilizing system
allows the saw plate to be mapped and leveled simultaneously.
The
Armstrong Leveler
works faster than machines that must first rotate
every saw 360 degrees - or more - before leveling can take
place. Simultaneous
mapping and
leveling allows the Armstrong Leveler to get more work
done each hour.
|
The
vertical configuration makes saws easy to load, while carbide rails
and three piece "transformer" rolls keep them stabilized.
With this configuration, leveling and mapping can take place simultaneously
and a 22" diameter saw can be completely mapped and leveled
in less than 8 minutes.
The color touch screen makes it easy to operate the Leveler and
reports the saws' condition before and during leveling. The
operator always knows exactly how many passes are needed. The
leveling
parameters for up to six different saw types are stored so
every saw can be leveled to the head filer's specifications.
