In order for the user to move towards a full understanding of how the machine
works, which is described in detail in the chapter 5, this chapter deals with the
main units and their locations.
2--1
MEP S.p.A.
Cutting head
The cutter head makes the cut. It is contained inside guards preventing accidental
contact with the tool and moving parts. It is moved by an electro---mechanical
cylinder (step motor), and runs on a twin linear guide with ball---bushing sliding
blocks. This system makes the structure highly rigid, providing a better cutting
finish with less vibration and noise.
Cutting vice
The vice is the unit that clamps the workpiece during cutting; it consists of a vice
support, commonly known as a “lead nut” fixed to the work table on which a
mobile jaw is mounted. The vice is operated manually by a handwheel and locked
by a Pneumatic cylinder.
The control panel has a protection rating of IP 54 and contains the electronic
equipment. Access to the control panel is protected by a safety panel mounted on
hinges and fastened with screws, specially designed to prevent tampering. The
control panel swivels on two articulated joints so that it can be positioned by the
operator for greater ease---of---use and safety.
Feeder
Base
This unit features a large coolant collection surface which conveys the coolant to
the rear tank via the tank cover, and a swarf collection drawer. An electric pump
is housed inside the tank which draws the clean fluid from the filter system.
General recommendations
LIGHTING
Insufficient lighting for the types of operation envisaged could constitute a safety
hazard for the persons concerned. For this reason, the machine user must provide
lighting in the working area sufficient to eliminate all shadowy areas while also
avoiding any blinding light concentrations. (Reference standard ISO 8995---89
”Lighting in work environments”).
CONNECTIONS
Check that the power supply cables and pneumatic feed systems comply with the
maximum machine absorption values listed in the “Machine Specification” tables;
replace if necessary.
3--1
MEP S.p.A.
EARTHING
The installation of the earthing system must comply with the requirements set out
in IEC STANDARD 204.
OPERATOR POSITION
The position of the operator controlling machine operations must be as shown in
the diagram below.
Do not use the machine without the guards in position. Replace the poly-
carbonate windows , if subject to corrosion.
Do not allow hands or arms to encroach on the cutting zone while the
machine is in operation.
Do not wear oversize clothing with long sleeves, oversize gloves, brace-
lets, necklaces or any other object that may become entangled in the ma-
chine during working; long hair must be tied back and bunched.
Always disconnect the power supply to the machine before carrying out
any maintenance work whatsoever, including in the case of abnormal
operation of the machine.
The operator MUST NOT perform any risky operations or those not
required for the machining in course (e.g. remove swarf or metal shavings
form the machine while cutting).
Remove equipment, tools or any other objects from the cutting zone; al-
ways keep the working area as clean as possible.
Do not use the machine for cutting pieces which exceed the cutting ca-
pacity described in the technical specifications or are less than 5 mm
Before starting any cutting operations, ensure that the workpiece is se-
curely held in the vice and the machine has been set correctly. A number
of examples of how to clamp the different profiles correctly in our ma-
chines are shown below.
When cutting very short pieces, make sure that they are not dragged be-
hind the support shoulder, where they could jam in the blade.
When using the pneumatic vice (version MA) check that the jaws actually
move right up to and effectively block the piece, as the maximum travel
in only 6 mm, and check that the clamping pressure is correct.
When working on the bandsaw, only wear gloves when handling materials
and tool change or adjustment operations. Only carry out one operation
at a time and do not hold more than one item or operate more than one
device simultaneously. Keep hands as clean as possible.
Warning: if the blade jams in the cut, press the emergency stop pushbut-
ton immediately. If this does not free the blade, slowly release the vice,
remove the piece and check that the blade or its teeth for damage, if
need be replace the blade.
Before carrying out any repair works on the machine, consult the MEP
Technical Service; this can also be done through an agency in the country
in which the machine is being used.

H Chapter 5 Section 6 Sub--section 1 ”Emergency stop device”: “the emergency
stop device immediately stops all the dangerous and other functions of the ma-
chine”.
H Chapter 6 Section 2 Subsection 4 point 7 “Safety guards”: “the removal of
safety guards protecting dangerous parts or zones of the machine causes the ma-
chine to shut down immediately. When the guards are returned to their original
position the machine must be reset in order to resume work”.
...Emergency devices applicable to the TIGER 370 CNC---MR:
1. Emergency stop: a non---return mushroom---head pushbutton, colour red on
yellow background, is located on the control panel of the machine. To release
the pushbutton, the actuator must be rotated 45° . After the emergency situ-
ation has been resolved, the machine must be reset.

Electromagnetic compatibility
As from 1 January 1996 all electrical and electronic appliances bearing the CE
marking that are sold on the European market must conform to Directive
2004/108/CE e 2006/95/CE and 2006/42/CEE. The prescriptions regard two
specific aspects in particular:
1. “EMISSIONS: during its operation, the appliance or system must not emit spurious
electromagnetic signals of such magnitude as to contaminate the surrounding
electromagnetic environment beyond clearly prescribed limits”;
2. “IMMUNITY: the appliance or system must be able to operate correctly even when
it is placed in an electromagnetic environment that is contaminated by disturbances

" To switch on the machine, turn the main switch located at the rear, on the
right---hand side of the electric cabinet;
The above sequence (ON and RESET buttons) must be performed each time the
machine is switched on.
Make sure that the disk rotates properly. To do this, proceed as follows:
" make sure the machine is not in emergency status (red mushroom head but-
ton released); otherwise, release the emergency stop button and press
RESET;
" set the cutting head downstroke adjuster by means of the specific selector;
" set the speed of the disc by means of the relevant potentiometer;
" enable motor rotation by activating the blade motor selector on the control
console;
" start disc rotation using the start pushbutton on the control panel or the pedal
control (if machine is equipped);
" if all the above operations have been carried out correctly, the disc motor will
start up and the disc will start to turn.
Attention Ensure that the blade moves in the correct direction as shown in the
above figure. If it does not, simply reverse two of the phase wires on the ma-
chine’s power supply input.
The sawing machine is now ready to start the work for which it was designed.
Chapter 5 provides a detailed description of the various functions of the machine
and its operating cycles.
This chapter analyses all the machine functions. We begin with a description of
the pushbuttons and other components on the control panel.
The control console is housed inside the control panel in an IP 54 rated housing
which is tamperproof and resistant to dust and moisture. The control panel
swivels on two articulated joints so that it can be positioned by the operator for
greater ease of use and safety. The figure below shows the control panel of

these are not necessary.
Initially the machine could be configured in any way, therefore the first series of
operations to be carried out is to set the machine for the material to be cut.
" Bring the cutting head to the upstroke limit, using the manual head lift but-
ton;
" open the cutting vice and the infeed vice by rotating the relative handwheels;
then adjust the position of the anti---chip vice indicated by the arrow.
" After this second operation, check that the pneumatic piston is in open posi-
tion. To do this, use the supply vice and cutting vice opening buttons.
38 5--13
MEP S.p.A.
" The second series of operations are to fit the material to be cut: place the ma-
terial between the vice jaws, and draw one end under the blade in order to
perform an initial cut to initialize the cuts.
" After inserting the material, bring the moving jaws for the cutting and feeder
vices to within 2÷3 mm of the workpiece;
" activate the automatic pneumatic vices to block the piece, using the two vice
closing buttons;
to avoid deformation when the tubes are thin walled, or the blocking force of the
vices is not sufficient for materials which are particularly hard or with articulated
sections, adjust the vice pressure by means of the regulator located inside the
base.
Preparing to cut
" Close the protection and press the reset button;
" adjust the cutting stroke by memorizing the head upstroke limit (FCTI): bring
the cutting head near the material using the head downstroke button.
" Memorize the cutting start position by pressing the FCTI (Head Upstroke
Limit) button. The FCTI indication will appear at the top of the display on
the right hand side.
Programming cuts
Once the material to be cut has been inserted and blocked, bring the cutting head
to the FCTI (Head Upstroke Limit) position, set the cutting dimension indicated

" Pressing the RUN/PROG button, the operating display screen returns, where
no parameter has been changed yet. To activate the new program set, press
CLEAR. With this operation you will obtain two results:
1) the data of the previous program is deleted from the memory;
2) the data of the new program is entered.
" After pressing CLEAR, the display screen will show the data of the new pro-
gram being executed.
N.B. Whenever CLEAR is pressed in the automatic operation mode in the multiple
programming, with the machine stopped, the operation in progress is reset.
This means that if the machine has performed some cuts of the first program,
and it is stopped by pressing CLEAR, the cuts already executed are reset.
When the machine restarts it will start from the initial cut and therefore from the
first cut programmed. If the machine is stopped by pressing CLEAR during the
execution of a program after the first, for example the second or third, the di-
splay will return to the first program of the series programmed, resetting the
number of cuts executed in all the programs performed until that moment.
When the machine is restarted, the machine will start from the initial cut, i.e.
from the first cut of the first program.

machine: for example, when the machine is started without having set the pro-
gram to be executed, or when the cut or supply are not correct, or whenever it
is necessary to momentarily stop the machine.
BEGIN CUT = Pressing RESET the display returns to the operating screen and the machine re-
turns to the cutting start position. This is to correct the necessary parameters and restart the cycle.
CONTINUOUS CYCLE = If during the cut or material supply something falls into the machine,
a tool or cloth or something else, it is necessary to stop the machine by pressing STOP to draw it
out. Press START to activate the machine again.

FOREWORD
This drive allows you to control a step motor, using the input steps (STEP---IN).
The motor completes one step on the LOW---HIGH transition of this signal.
When the DIRECTION input is connected to +12 Vdc/+24 Vdc the motor will
turn clockwise. When it is disconnected, or connected to 0V the drive will turn
anti---clockwise.
When the ENABLE input is connected to +12 Vdc/+24 Vdc the drive is disabled
(current on motor = 0) resulting in the rotation of the motor being interrupted.
When it is disconnected, or connected to 0 V, the drive will be re---enabled and
the motor will be energised after at least 1 step is started.
When the CURRENT REDUCTION input is connected to +12 Vdc/+24 Vdc
the current on the motor will be reduced. When it is disconnected or connected to
0V the current will be returned to the regular level.
The rate of acceleration/deceleration, the current, and the step division, can be
adjusted using the dip---switches and trimmers on the card (see tables).
The two outputs allow the machine to display if the drive is protected
(READY_OUT) and if positioning in progress has finished (BUSY).

SIGNAL FUNCTION
DISABLE Disables the power bridge (current on motor=0)
Reduces the current on the motor. The percentage reduction can be set
CURRENT REDUCTION at from 25% to 50% of the regulated current using dip A1.
Select the direction of rotation. The signal must remain stable for at
DIRECTION least 50 microseconds before and 50 microseconds after the low---high
transition of the STEP---IN signal.
The motor carries out a step on the low---high transition of this signal.
It is preferable to use a square wave with a duty---cycle of 50 %.
The absence of this signal for 0,5 sec determines the automatic reduc-
STEP---IN tion of the current (stand---by condition). The percentage reduction for
stand---by can be set at 25% or 50% of the regulated current, using dip
A1.

Mechanical systems
Cutting head stroke
The head cutting stroke is defined by the cut start position (Head Upstroke
Limit) and cut end position (Head Downstroke Limit) which are electronically
programmed by the control console. The cutting head is also equipped with a
mechanical stop which defines the bottom limit of its stroke:
" to adjust this stop, use two hex wrenches, one to lock the nut and the other to
tighten or slacken the stop screw.

Replacing tool
As we have already said, this machine uses different kinds of blades according to
the material to be cut. The procedures described below, however, also apply in
the event of wear or breakage of the blade. To replace the blade, proceed as
follows:
" switch off the machine and position the head so that the disc is easily accessi-
ble;
" the machine is equipped with a vertical pneumatic vice that can be moved
away from the guard by unfastening the screw fixing it to the support;
" remove the screw with knob to free the plexiglass guard cover and lift it off in
a vertical direction;
" use a 19 mm spanner to slacken the hexagonal screw that locks the disc, turn-
ing the spanner in the direction of rotation of the disc; remove the old disc
and insert the new one, making sure that the centering pins fit correctly into
the holes in the disc.
Attention Make sure that the teeth on the cutter blade are facing in the direction of rota-
tion. When changing the tool, turn the cutter blade until drive is engaged to
eliminate any backlash in the drive pins.
N.B. Adjust the position of the blade--cleaning brush, or replace it when worn.
Attention If disks are fitted with diameters less than 370 mm, adjust the head mechani-
cal stop screw as described above.
Feeder
Should the feeder at a later stage in time become misaligned with the cutting
table, then use the levelling devices located on the side of the machine and the
loading table to restore. Misalignment can be measured using a workshop
standard ruler or a straight bar section.
" Lower the rear guard rail.
" Place the ruler on top of the feeder to check that the feeder is parallel to the
cutting table.

TIGER 370 CNC---MR is built to be sturdy and long---lasting It has no need of any
special maintenance, though, like all other tools, it needs adjusting from time to
time, especially if not regularly looked over or used without due care.
This chapter, therefore, is intended as a guide for those who want to look after
the machine and get the most out of it for as long as possible.
The person operating and maintaining the machine must follow these instructions
for his own safety, as well as for the safety of other personnel, and in the interests
of machine productivity:
H check that his own work and that of the other operators of the machine always
complies with the relevant safety standards. Therefore, check that the safety
devices are in position and work perfectly and that personal safety requirements are
complied with.
H ensure that the working cycle is efficient and guarantees maximum productivity,
checking:
n the functions of the main components of the machine;
n the sharpness of the blade and coolant flow;
n the optimum working parameters for the type of material.
H check that the quality of the cut is that required and that the final product does not
have any machining defects.

MEP S.p.A.
Maintenance requirements
H All ordinary and extraordinary maintenance must be carried out with the power
switched off and the machine in emergency condition.
H To guarantee perfect operation, all spare parts must be MEP S.p.A originals.
H On completion of maintenance works, ensure that the replaced parts or any tools
used have been removed from the machine before starting it up.
H Any behaviour not in accordance with the instructions for using the machine may
create risks for the operator.
H Therefore, read and follow all the instructions for use and maintenance of the ma-
chine and those on the product itself.
General maintenance
Daily
The daily maintenance operations to carry out on the machine are as follows:
" remove all swarf from the machine (using compressed air or preferably
thread---free cloth;
" top up the lubricant/coolant fluid level;
" check the wear of the blade and change if necessary;
Weekly
This section lists the operations to be carried out for the monthly maintenance of
the machine.
" clean thoroughly the water tank and the electric pump filter;
During maintenance work on the TIGER 370 CNC---MR, special attention should
be paid to operating units such as the transmission box.
Transmission box
After 100 work hours, empty the drive box using the following procedure:
" remove the outlet plug, collect oil in a container for used oils; to speed up the
operation remove the inlet plug positioned on the top of the head;
" once the operation is complete, replace the outlet plug and fill with AGIP
BLASIA 460 oil, or equivalent, up to the point indicated by the level plug po-
sitioned on the right---hand side of the head;
" after every 2000 working hours repeat the oil change operation.
Consumable materials
It is essential to use specific oils for the pneumatic and lubricant/coolant circuits.
The oils suitable for each of these circuits are listed below.
The machine is supplied with AGIP BLASIA 460 oil, ISO and UNI symbol
CC460. However the following oils can be regarded as compatible or with
equivalent characteristics:
Transmission box:
--- capacity Kg. 10
Coolant tank:
--- tank capacity 5050 litres
--- oil concentration 5---6%
Cutting speed
Basic version
The inverter is an electronic instrument fitted to the TIGER 370 CNC---MR for
varying spindle motor rpm. This device facilitates the operator’s task to execute
special cuts, by adapting the rotation speed of the tool to the specific material.
Blade use can thus be optimised, inasmuch as a blade not especially suitable for
cutting a certain material can be adjusted all the same to the task, and premature
wear is avoided.
The basic version, with 4---pole motor and inverter, has this range of cutting
speeds:
H 15÷150 rpm.
The speeds can be set on the control panel via a potentiometer.The speeds can be set on the control panel via a
potentiometer.

Choice of blade
The different types of blade that can be used for the TIGER 370 CNC---MR must
in any case respect the following general characteristics:
H “Fine tooth pitch”: for thin wall materials such as sheet steel, tubes and profiles;
H “Coarse tooth pitch”: for large cross--sections; for soft materials (aluminium alloys
and soft alloys in general).
Tooth pitch
The choice of the most suitable tooth pitch depends on various factors:
H the size of the section;
H the hardness of the material;
H wall thickness.
Solid sections call for discs with a coarse tooth pitch, while small cross---sections
require blades with finer teeth. This is because when cutting walls of small
cross---section (1÷7 mm) profiles, it is important that the number of teeth
actually making the cut should not be too small, otherwise the effect obtained will
be one of tearing rather than of swarf removal, leading to a large increase in
shearing stress. On the other hand, when cutting thick materials or solid sections
using an excessively fine tooth pitch, the swarf collects as a spiral inside the gullet,
and since fine tooth pitches have small gullets, the accumulated swarf will exceed
the gullet capacity and press against the walls of the workpieces, resulting in poor
cutting (same situation with soft materials), greater shearing stress and hence
breakage of the blade.
Choice of tooth pitch T as a function of cross---section to be cut for light alloy solid pieces and profiles
S S sp
S in mm Pitch T S and sp in mm Pitch T
10 4 10 sp = 0,5 3
30 6 30 sp = 1,5 4 --- 5
50 8 50 sp = 2,5 5 --- 6
70 10 70 sp = 3,5 6---7
90 12 90 sp = 4,5 7 --- 8
130 16 130 sp = 6,5 8
KEY:
S = diameter or width of the solid piece to be cut in mm;
sp = thickness of the wall to be cut in mm;
Lubricant/coolant
The lubricating/cooling fluid must ensure that the blade teeth and material in the
area of the cut do not overheat. Furthermore, the quantity and pressure must be
sufficient to remove the swarf from the cutting zone. The fluid must be an
excellent lubricant, such that prevents abrasion of the teeth and welding of the
swarf to the teeth themselves (seizing).
Blade structure
The circular blades most frequently used for cutting---off machines are HSS---
DMo5/M2 consisting of a single piece and characterised by a high level of
toughness and a good cutting resistance. With non---ferrous materials it is normal
to use circular blades with brazed hard metal (HM) cutting edges, which offer
excellent resistance to wear but low resistance to impact, which in any case is not
generally a problem with non---ferrous materials.
They consist in a disk made of alloy steel (71 Cr 1) with teeth and places for the
plates, made of Widia K10.

A positive angle γ determines better penetration of the tool and hence lower
shear stress and greater ease of sliding for the swarf over the cutting edge. On the
other hand, the cutting edge has lower mechanical resistance, so as the breaking
load of the material to be cut increases, the cutting angle decreases from positive
until it becomes negative so as to offer a cutting edge with a larger resistant
section.
γ Positive
Short swarf material such as brass, bronze, aluminium and hard cast iron require
smaller cutting angles because the swarf becomes crushed immediately and the
rake angle has little effect during the cutting stage.
The TIGER 370 CNC---MR uses discs with positive cutting angles for cutting solid
materials and with negative cutting angles for cutting hollow profiles. This is
because, as a result of the high cutting speeds (2900 rpm), even with non---ferrous
materials the tool ”strikes” against the wall of the profile to be cut several times,
thus requiring a cutting edge with a larger resistant section.
B
γ Negative
This table can be used to facilitate the choice of toothing since it takes into
account both the size of the material to be cut and the diameter of the disc to be
used.

This chapter describes the inspection and troubleshooting procedures for the
TIGER 370 CNC---MR. Regular inspections and efficient maintenance are
essential to ensure your machine gives you a long, trouble---free service life. The
chapter is divided into two sections: the first being dedicated specifically to
TROUBLESHOOTING BLADE AND CUTTING PROBLEMS, while the
second TROUBLESHOOTING section concerns troubleshooting general
machine operating faults. Taken together they form a comprehensive trouble-
shooting guide which will enable you to follow a methodical procedure for solving
any problem.
Cuts not at 90 degrees or angled ' Head speed too high .Reduce head speed
' Disc with worn teeth .Replace disc
' Perpendicularity of disc to .If this is not the case, contact
work surface our technical service depart-
ment
' Cutting speed too low .Increase cutting speed.
' Broken teeth .Check the hardness of the
material being cut.
Teeth breaking ' Incorrect lubricant/coolant .Check the water and oil
fluid emulsion; check that the
holes and hoses are not
blocked; direct the nozzles
correctly.
' Material too hard .Check the cutting speed,
feed speed and disc pres-
sure parameters and the type
of disc you are using.

MEP S.p.A.
Teeth breaking ' Disc not worn--in correctly .With a new disc it is neces-
sary to start cutting at half
feeding speed. After the
wearing--in period (a cutting
surface of about 300 cm2 for
hard materials and about
1000 cm2 for soft materials)
the cutting and feed speeds
can be brought up to normal
values.

mal alteration, making it
harder: when starting work
again, use a lower cutting
speed and head feed speed.
A tooth from the old blade
may be left in the cut: check
and remove before starting
work again.
' Workpiece not clamped firmly .Any movement of the work-
in place piece during cutting can
cause broken teeth: check
the vice, jaws and clamping
pressure.
' Vibration .Workpiece vibrates in the
vice: check that the slide has
been adjusted correctly;
check the clamping pressure
and if necessary increase.
Rapid tooth wear ' Head speed too slow .The blade runs over the ma-
terial without removing it: in-
crease head speed.
' Cutting pressure too high .Reduce cutting pressure.
' Cutting speed too high .The teeth slide over the ma-
terial without cutting it: re-
duce the cutting speed.
' Insufficient coolant .Check the coolant level and
clean piping and nozzles.
' Incorrect fluid concentration .Check and use the correct
concentration.
Rapid tooth wear ' Material defective .The materials may present
altered zones either on the
surface, such as oxides or
sand, or in section, such as
under--cooled inclusions.
These zones, which are
much harder than the blade,
cause the teeth to break: dis-
card or clean these materials.
Broken blade ' Head speed too high .Reduce head speed.
' Teeth in contact with material .Always check the position of
before starting the cut the blade before starting a
new job.
' Insufficient coolant .Check the coolant level and
clean piping and nozzles.
' Vibrations .Workpiece vibrates in the
vice: check that the slide is
regulated correctly; check the
clamping pressure and if nec-
essary increase.
