Angle (Arch) Movement Overview

Before You Begin

Safety: Stop the machine, follow the site lockout/tagout procedure, verify that hazardous energy is controlled, and release or secure stored mechanical and pneumatic energy before opening a panel, removing a guard, or adjusting components. Electrical work must be performed by a qualified technician.

The Angles or Arches are the movements that pivot the blade motors to angle. That is done with a semi circular arch, 50-2 chain gearbox, motor and encoder. The gearbox for the angle movement is a hollow shaft gearbox with a shaft and sprocket to drive the number 50-2 chain around the arch. The other end of the shaft contains the encoder which tracks the position on the angle movement.

The angle movements have hard end stops which are the maximum and minimum of the movement. They have limits that can be used to get rough calibration. The maximum stop and minimum stop position are set from the factory and can be verified in the settings of each movement.

Confirm the Result

After restoring the machine through the approved startup procedure, confirm that the position or count changes in the correct direction, returns consistently, and reaches the commanded value without an encoder, calibration, or overrun warning.

If the issue remains, record the exact on-screen message, affected component, indicator-light state, and the last change made. Provide those details to Enventek Technical Support; do not repeatedly recalibrate or replace parts without identifying the cause.
