MPS30/MPS40 Manual Cutoff
The MPS Series of power saws offers the best aspects of performance, control and safety currently available in a manually operated cut-off machine. A large cutting area envelope and moving the wheel to the work piece allows for simple work piece clamping. Responsive 4-axis control means that the operator can adapt to variations in both casting and positioning irregularities. The manipulator arm and cutting module can be supplied on either the left or right side of the base frame. This allows greater flexibility when planning for plant layout and also allows for two machines to be placed side by side. Currently available in two models, the MPS30 and MPS40. The MPS30 is fitted with a 16" diameter cutting wheel and a 30Hp drive motor, whilst the MPS40 is fitted with a massive 20" cutting wheel and 40Hp fan cooled drive motor.

Safety
The machine utilises a two button safety start, requiring the operator’s hands to remain on the controls during cutting. Removing one or both hands stops the cutting wheel. The two button start is anti-tiedown, anti-repeat for safe operation. The operator is protected from swarf and debris by a 10mm polycarbonate shield as well as a 180 degree wheel guard.

Optional Laser Sight
As an optional extra, The MPS30 & MPS40 can be equipped with a laser line of sight guide. This guide projects a red laser line onto the workpiece, allowing easier alignment of the wheel, particularly through longer cuts.

Blade Tilt and Height Adjustment
Now incorporating tilt adjustment, the MPS machine is even more flexible. A disc brake secures the tilt angle of the wheel and is easily adjusted via a switch on the operators' control. Once released, the wheel can be tilted 30deg either side of vertical, allowing access to hard to reach ingates. This axis is then locked during cutting. Hydraulic height adjustment by means of a switch on the operators' controls allows for easy height adjustment to accommodate for wheel wear and different work piece sizes. This adjustment locks in place during cutting.
