Repeat for right side of machine.
MOUNT OPERATING HANDLE TO BENDING LEAF
Refer to Figure 3.
Mount operating handles (Ref. No. 61) to the bending leaf (Ref.No.64) with hex head bolts and washers (Ref. Nos. 60, 65 and 66).
MOUNT COUNTERWEIGHT TO BENDING LEAR
Refer to Figure 3.
Insert the counterweight assemblies (Ref. Nos. 51, 52 and 53) into the hinges (Ref. Nos. 58 and 70) and secure with set screws (Ref. No.56). The counterweight are positioned near the bending leaf for thin work piece, further from leaf for thick work pieces.
MOUNT STOP GUAGE ASSEMBLY
Refer to Figure 2 and 3.
Insert pivot shaft (Figure 2, Ref. No.38) into hole on left side of beam (Figure 2, Ref. No. 36) and secure in position with cotter pin (Figure 2, Ref. No. 42). Slide end of guide rod (Figure 2, Ref. No.37) into the pivot shaft and also into the sleeve on the side of the left hinge (Figure 3, Ref. No. 70) and secure with cotter pin. Install collar (Figure 2, Ref. No. 39) onto guide rod and secure in position with set screw (Figure 2, Ref. No. 44). Install cotter pin on the guide rod to retain collar.
INSTALLATION
Machine should be install on a level surface with proper lighting. Use four mounting holes on left and right supports to bolt machine securely to floor (fasteners not included). Area around machine should be clear of scraps, oil or dirt. Apply a suitable non-skid material to floor. Allow approximately three feet clearance on all side of the brake for ease of operation.
Operation
Refer to Figures 2 and 3.
The maximum capacity of the machine is 14 gauge (0.070＂) mild steel or equivalent. Below is an equivalency chart for use when working with materials other than mild steel:
EQUIVALENCY CHART
| Mild steel | 2.0 mm | 2.5 mm |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless steel | 1.2 mm | 1.5 mm |
| SAE 1050 cold-rolled steel | 1.2 mm | 1.5 mm |
| Aluminum | 3.0 mm | 4.0 mm |
| Soft brass | 2.2 mm | 2.7 mm |
| Annealed phosphor bronze | 2.0 mm | 2.4 mm |
| Soft copper | 2.2 mm | 2.7 mm |
| Hard copper | 2.0 mm | 2.4 mm |
| ABS plastic | 4.0 mm | 5.0 mm |
- When the bending leaf (Figure 3, Ref.No.64) is at the bottom dead center position, the edge of the bending leaf must be flush with the beam edge. To adjust, loosen socket head bolts (Figure 3, Ref. No.59), turn hex head bolts (Figure 3, Ref. No. 57) as needed, and retighten the mounting bolts. If the leaf has been adjusted flush on both ends, but is not flush in the center, adjust nuts located in the center of the beam and bending leaf until center is aligned.
- Adjust the clamping leaf (Figure 2, Ref. No. 7) to the work piece thickness. Pull both clamping handles (Figure 2, Ref. Nos. 4 and 9)forward and loosen lower hex nuts (Figure2, Ref. No. 29) so that the clamping leaf rests on the beam (Figure 2, Ref. No. 36), but is not under pressure. Rotate hand wheels (Figure 2, Ref. No. 35) so that the front edge of the nose on the clamping leaf is set back from the beam edge equal to the thickness of the workpiece. Minimum distance is work piece thickness. Clamping leaf can be set further away from table edge to produce a larger radius bend. Make sure to adjust the hand wheels equally, so that the clamping leaf edge is parallel to the beam edge. The lower hex nuts will be tightened after the next step.
- Adjust the clamping pressure. Place sample of the work piece on the table and move the clamping handles forward. Work piece should be held firmly in position. To adjust for more or less pressure, unclamp the work piece and adjust the upper hex nuts (Figure 2, Ref. No. 29) and re-clamp until the desired pressure is obtained. Tighten lower hex nuts securely.
- If pans or boxes are to be formed, adjust the nose bar (Figure 2, Ref. Nos. 25-28) on the clamping leaf to the length of the bend required and remove the nose pieces on each side of the bend to allow clearance for the work piece. Loosen socket head bolts, (Figure 2, Ref. No. 15), remove or reposition nose bar, then tighten bolts.
- Raise the clamping leaf by moving clamping handles back. Place work piece on beam and position where bend is required at edge of beam. Clamp leaf onto work piece by pulling clamp handles forward. Do not use pipe extensions on the clamping handles.
- Slowly pull up bending leaf by the operating handles (Figure 3, Ref. No. 71) until desired angle of bend is obtained, continuing bend slightly to allow for material spring back. Each material has its own rate of spring back, so a trial and error process is necessary to achieve the required bend. Use only operating handles to raise bending leaf. Do not use the counterweight rods to raise bending leaf-damage may occur to leaf hinge.
- For repeat bends, the collar (Figure 2, Ref. No. 39) is located at the desired position on the guide rod (Figure 2, Ref. No. 37) and secured by the set screw (Figure 2, Ref. No. 44).
- When bending against seams set back clamping leaf and adjust clamping pressure to allow for the multiple thickness of the seam.
Maintenance
Refer to Figure 2.
LUBRICATION
Use medium weight, non-detergent oil.
MONTHLY:
Oil the bending leaf pivot joint through the oil fittings (Figure 2, Ref. No. 5) located at the right and left pivot points.
MONTHLY:
Oil the clamping handle bearing surfaces through oil fittings (Figure 2, Ref. No. 5) on top of links (Figure 2, Ref. No. 6). Coat all exposed iron surfaces to prevent rusting.
