The carriage is of two types: ball and roller . Reducing the energy consumption for moving the carriage is carried out by manufacturing this block from light metals. Aluminum is usually such a metal, due to its special physical properties. The level of cuts carried out depends on the design of the carriage.
Features of the ball carriage
The rolling element of the ball carriage is a steel ball moving along flat guides.
This type of carriage requires careful maintenance and monitoring of the condition of the guides, so it is necessary to constantly check the condition of the guides and clean them.
The carriage guides themselves are subject to intense wear when dust and dirt get into the separator (the cage that holds the balls), the dust begins to coke, subsequently the carriage will “jump”, and also “grooves” are created on the balls, the carriage starts to knock and work slowly.
Roller carriage features
The rolling element of the roller carriage is a steel roller of large diameter, moving along hardened cylindrical guides.
Roller type carriages are virtually maintenance free . It is enough just once a week to wipe the cylindrical guides.
If you lose the roller itself, you can purchase it and install it in the carriage, unlike the ball design of the carriage, when the balls are worn out, it is necessary to change the entire carriage as a whole, and this is costly.
KDT Machinery sliding table saws are equipped with a roller carriage made of multi-cellular aluminum profile with cylindrical guides with a working part width of 430 mm.
The carriage is equipped with a special spring damper, which does not push the carriage in the opposite direction with the help of a spring mechanism, thereby protecting the machine from impacts and reducing the likelihood of "diagonal" drift .
Industrial type KDT sliding table saws are the best choice for carpentry or furniture factory.
