14. Make sure the tube sample is correctly in the die and select
“Mandrel” on the rotary switch
and press
“Extend” it may want to push the tube, that’s normal. Once fully extended, push
the tube back into the machine if needed.
15. Now we are going to clamp up the material to the die (Warning!! Do not activate the clamp
without material in place) select
“clamp die” using the selector switch, press extend and the
clamp die will travel until it engages the material. Make sure that the material is properly
seated in the die square (not crooked). If the material is not seated properly in the die, the
clamp die blade can catch the top of the tube causing damage. Adjust the micro switch if
needed.
16. Double check the pressure die clearance, from the face of the material to the pressure die
face, there should be at least 8-1/2
” if not, using a 2” wrench adjust the pressure die nut.
17. When there is sufficient clearance, select pressure die and press “extend”
(Fig. 7-Single bend home
screen; All axis
’ retracted.)
18. Now you can adjust the pressure die right up to the material, so it just touches and a little
more.
19. The basic set up is done, now to install the wiper die. Select the wiper and begin to insert it
into the die/material wedge, push in by hand and then
“seat” it with a few taps from a plastic
faced hammer. Set it so it is tight against the material and install the angle bracket and
tighten all of the bolts.
