Figure 5-12. Tighten the clamp knob on both clamp

USING THE AUTOFEED
There are two types of autofeed provided with the Goliath
Guillotine: mechanical or hydraulic. Mechanical autofeed
machines can be configured either with on-machine con-
trols or the topside control unit (TCU). Machines with
hydraulic autofeed are controlled using the TCU.
Mechanical Autofeed
The mechanical autofeed mechanism works the same for all
configurations of the Goliath Guillotine. Use this procedure
to engage and disengage the autofeed when cutting with the
saw.
The autofeed is driven from the cam wheel that moves the
saw bow for cutting. A trip pin on the underside of the cam
wheel strikes the feed shaft on each revolution, turning the
shaft and rotating the feed worm gear.
