OPERATION
1. Select and install the die set required for the
desired bead type.
2. Use the handwheel to open the gap
between the roll dies large enough to insert
the material. Do not start with the rolls
completely closed as you may find that the
rolls are too close together and find it
difficult to feed the material.
3. Set the depth gauge as desired to assist in
positioning the material between the dies.
This also assists in repeatability.
4. When the material is positioned as desired,
closed the gap between the rolls to start to
impress the rolls into the material. This step
may require some experimentation to get
the proper depth so it is recommended that
you use a scrap piece of the same material
you want to bead roll.
Note:
Most beading operations will need to be done in several steps, increasing
the depth on each pass. Trying to bead too deep will flex the machine, so take your time with
multiple passes.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
CAUTION:
Keep hands and fingers clear of the rolling dies. Be aware of
how the material moves as it is being formed. Normally the operator should stand in
front of the bead roller to avoid getting hit with the material as it is being formed.
When handling large heavy materials make sure they are properly supported.
