MPS / MPS EA 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. Two models are available, the standard MPS and the MPS EA, an extended arm version which delivers a greatly increased working envelope idealy suited to foundries producing larger castings. Standard configuration for both models is 40 HP, fitted with a 20" cutting wheel, however 30HP, 50HP and cutting wheels from 12" up to 24" can easily be accomodated.

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.
