PRE-START VERIFICATIONS
The pre-start verification allows you to identify if any components present anomalies. The
identification and resolution of these anomalies will allow you to manufacture a quality
product for many years to come.
Caution : there are 2 bolts (A) to loosen on each side of the motor.
C B
Adjustable stopper
The adjustable stopper (A) can be positioned in regards to the length of the product to
be fabricated. The stopper should be positioned 2” (50.8 mm) (B) further than the end of the
product to be fabricated (see photo), this will permit the product to transfer into its pressing
position without coming in contact with the stopper (A).
lock
Note: The distance of 2" (50.8 mm) is an approximate measure. This measurement can
vary depending on the number of joints in the product. Making a few trial runs will
permit you to find the correct position.
Be sure that the stopper does not exceed the width of the product, because the stopper
could interfere with the transversal bars when pushing the product into its pressing position,
especially with thin product. The left image shows the incorrect installation of the stopper.
The image to the right shows the stopper in the correct position.

The control panel display screen allows you to adjust certain settings. The settings that
affect the press are CUT SELECTION (F3) and PRESSING TIME. (F2)
To adjust the length of the product to be fabricated, press F3 and enter the desired length.
To adjust the pressing time of the press cylinder, press F2 and enter the desired pressing
time. Note the ejector reverse time can be adjusted, this is when the transversal bars
position the product under the vertical press beam, they slightly move backwards after
positioning, this time should be approximately 0.02 sec.
NOTE: follow all setting adjustments by pressing enter to validate the change, otherwise the
setting will automatically return to its previous setting after several seconds

OPERATION PARAMETERS
5
In this chapter, we will see the operation parameters that you will have to adjust
according to the wood thickness and the wood width. Each time you change one of these
two variables, you will have to adjust one or many operation parameters.
Example:
For a product that measures 2” (51 mm) by 4” (102 mm), the surface will be: 2" x 4" = 8in2
(51 mm X 102 mm = 5202 mm2) Using the chart you will find that the hydraulic pressure for
a surface of 8in2 (5202 mm2) = 450psi (31 bar)

TROUBLE SHOOTING
6
WARNING!
To avoid injury and physical damage, disconnect power from the machine and
associated units before undertaking any repairs.
Problem #1
Solutions
• Verify fuses and circuit breakers.
• Verify if EMERGENCY button is down.
• Verify if the air supply is not turned off.
Problem #2
Solution
• Verify the hydraulic pressure in the press cylinder. Too much pressure could cause the
product to split near the joints.
Problem #3
Solutions
• Verify the hydraulic pressure in the press cylinder. A pressure too low could cause
fragile joints.
• Verify position of adjustable stopper. A stopper positioned too far from the end of the
product could cause fragile joints.
Problem #4
• The pressure wheels no longer turn.
Explication
• The photocell at the entrance of the press should always detect the presence of the
product. If the product has separated, the photocell will no longer detect the product and
the wheels will stop. If the photocell is defective or wrongly positioned this could give a
signal to stop the pressure wheels.
Solutions
• Verify condition of photocell.
• Verify position of photocell to make sure that it does not detect anything else than the
product.
Problem #5
• The lengths of the product at the exit end vary.
Explications
• The encoder located between the pressure wheels control the length of the product to be
cut. If the encoder wheel is dirty or has a build up of glue on it, this could affect or alter
the measurement.
Solutions
Problem #6
Explications
1- There are reed switches on the vertical movement cylinder of the cut-off saw. Once the
saw has completed its cut, the reed switch that controls its position gives a signal permitting
the transfer chains to start. If this reed switch is out of position or defective, it will not send a
signal permitting the transfer chains to start..
2- The photocell installed near the beginning of the vertical press beam might still be
detecting something present, the photocell must not read anything to be able to index
another piece.
3- The prox. switch installed at the end of the vertical press beam controls its position.
Once the vertical press beam has reached its open position, a signal is sent permitting the
transfer chains to start. If this prox. switch is out of position or defective, it will not send a
signal permitting the transfer chains to start.
Solutions
• Verify the condition of the reed switches.
• Verify the position of the reed switches so that it detects the cylinder in its return
position.
• Verify the condition of the prox. switch.
• Verify the position of the prox. switch.
Problem #7
• A collision has occurred between the product and the transversal bar of the transfer
chain.
Explications
• The photocell located near the beginning of the vertical press beam sends a signal too
fast. The transfer chains do not have enough time to eject the product before a new
piece arrives.
Solutions
• Change the position of the photocell, move it closer to the vertical press beam
Problem #8
• The automatic cycle restarts but the wheels do not turn when the tunnel is full. Or in
manual mode nothing happens.
Solutions
• The cycle needs to have a cut made in manual mode. Remove piece and restart cycle.
Problem #9
Solutions
Note :
There can be lots of probable problems. The problems listed are the most common. If a
problem persists please contact Doucet Machineries Inc. Necessary measures will be
taken to solve the problem.
1- Tunnel opening
This alarm will light if the mobile lateral chain opens. If this alarm lights up because of
an adjustment being made, it will simply be used as a reminder to close the lateral chain
before re-starting the machine.
If this alarm lights up during a normal cycle, this would mean that it was the product
that opened the lateral chain. A technician will then have to open the tunnel and verify
different points. First verify if there isn’t a piece too wide, on its side, twisted, broken or
wedged inside the tunnel. If this is the case the technician must remove it manually.
The press end position alarm will occur if the press cylinder fully extends. Board de-
jointing, wood breaking or wood crushing of one or more pieces can cause this alarm. The
operator should retract the press cylinder, lift up the vertical press beam and remove the
board with defects (the one just pressed)
This can also be caused by a missing pressing stopper or by a wrong cutting length.
If the alarm continuously occurs, check if the pressing stopper is in the proper position
according to the specified cutting length. Maybe the stopper is too far from the end of the
cut board and has to be place a hole closer to the pressing cylinder.
4- Saw in up position
As it says, the saw in up position alarm will occur if the saw is in the up position. This
could happen either by manual operation at the beginning of a cycle or if there is pressure
from the product pushing up against the blade preventing it from going down. If the alarms
occurs in the automatic mode, then the second case would be the problem.
The operator should stop the saw motor to prevent the belt from over heating. Then,
remove everything that causes the pressure to the saw blade and restart the motor.
Resetting the board length and performing a first press cycle will prevent a wrong length
problem with the new board.
5- Length security
An encoder located between the two pre-press wheels controls the length of product
to be produced. If for any reason the length specified by the operator is not cut, a photocell
at the end of the press will read wood longer than specified and this alarm will occur.
The machine will automatically cut the beam, lift the vertical press beam and evacuate the
product with the transfer chains. The operator should check if the encoder wheel turns
freely, and if a sufficient pressure is maintained on the wood. Call Doucet Machineries Inc. if
this happens too often. You might have a problem with the programmable controller or the
encoder
