1. Pre-Installation Site & Auxiliary Preparation

The CD-1600 machine measures 1105×2800×1750 mm and weighs 2650 kg. It must be placed on flat, hardened cement ground with a load capacity of no less than 3 tons and flatness tolerance within 2 mm per meter. Reserve over 1.2 meters of clearance around the machine for operation and maintenance, and keep it away from damp and corrosive environments.

It adopts standard 380V/50Hz industrial power to match the 7.5~15KW motor, requiring an independent leakage protection distribution box with reliable grounding. The air supply works under 0.4~0.8 MPa; equip an air compressor and oil-water separator with air pipes no less than 12 mm inner diameter to deliver dry moisture-free compressed air. Use a forklift for transportation and lift only the dedicated lifting points on the frame. Never bump the cutter head, servo components or electric cabinet, as impact will damage the stress-relieved cast steel frame, leading to deformation and precision loss. Prepare spirit levels, shock-absorbing pads, special aluminum cutting fluid and fastening tools in advance.

2. Machine Positioning, Leveling & Fixation

Lay shock-absorbing pads under the machine feet after positioning. Calibrate horizontal and vertical balance with a precision spirit level, keeping the deviation within 0.1 mm per meter, then lock the machine with anchor bolts. Tilted frame directly causes skewed cutting, exceeding the machine’s ±0.2 mm cutting tolerance and accelerating wear of servo grinding gears and heavy-duty linear guide rails. After leveling, clear packaging debris off the worktable and guide rails, check intact dust-proof strips, and reserve chip removal grooves for daily aluminum scrap cleaning.

3. Connection of Electric, Pneumatic & Lubrication Systems

Connect three-phase power cables firmly with proper grounding, and inspect circuits for short-circuit risks before power-on. Jog the motor to verify spindle rotation matches the marked direction; reverse rotation will crack the saw blade. Adjust air pressure to the recommended 0.6 MPa after piping connection, inspect all pipelines and lifting cylinders for air leakage, and test the automatic lifting function repeatedly under no-load. The machine automatically adjusts blade lifting height based on plate thickness to reduce saw blade wear.

Fill the tank with special micro-lubricant for aluminum cutting and unclog cooling nozzles. The centralized mist cooling system extends saw blade service life by 30%. Unobstructed oil paths are essential to cool the spindle running at 1500~3500 r/min, avoiding aluminum adhesion, blackening and burrs on cut surfaces.

4. Saw Blade Assembly & Stroke Commissioning

Lock the spindle with power cut off, mount a dedicated aluminum cutting saw blade sized φ405~φ500, and fasten flange plates evenly. Rotate the spindle manually to check for eccentric blade swing — the spindle precision reaches 0.005 mm, and misalignment will create uneven cut surfaces. Set cutting strokes on the CNC system. Driven by servo grinding gears, the cutter head moves back and forth freely. The maximum cutting width is 1600 mm and height 150 mm, with customized widening and heightening available. Commission arbitrary adjustment of cutting width and ensure smooth travel without abnormal noise.

5. No-Load Test Run & Precision Calibration

After all pipelines and wiring are installed, run the machine without load for 30 consecutive minutes. Confirm stable spindle operation across all speed ranges and smooth movement of the cutter head and oil supply system. Cut a standard aluminum plate and re-measure dimensions; stable tolerance within ±0.2 mm means qualified installation. Recalibrate frame balance and servo origin if precision fails to meet standards. Test emergency stop and safety guards simultaneously to guarantee operational safety.

6. Final Handover & Production Notes

Lubricate all guide rails and lead screws, clear all sundries and file machine parameter documents. During the first 72 hours of production, inspect air pressure, lubricant volume and frame balance every 2 hours. Avoid irregular operations such as unleveled installation, moisture-laden air supply and non-specified cutting fluid, which trigger CNC alarms, disabled blade lifting and blocked pipelines, to sustain long-term high-precision stable cutting.
