SAW DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING A SAW

摘要

The saw data acquisition system and method of operating a saw employ sensors that detect specific data regarding a cutting operation. The system and method enable the saw operator to input data and display selected the data for the operator. Data that is detected by the sensors and which is input are collected and transmitted to a central processing location, acquired at the central processing location, and analyzed. The analysis enables optimum cutting parameters for a given cutting task, guidance regarding optimum operation and efficiency of the saw, information for improved blade design and manufacture, and optional remote monitoring capabilities of multiple saws, to be provided.
