8. The Chuck/Gearbox assembly is designed to pivot on its mount, tension is adjusted with
spring washers beneath the (2) ½-13 mounting bolts. For small light weight material, the
swivel will need to be loosened so it pivots easily, for heavy material, the swivel should be
tightened to increase resistance.
Material Layout
Before you can use the IDX table, the bend positions of your first piece of material needs to be
laid out. Using Diagram1 and Table1 you can determine all of the bend start points, these points
should be transferred to the material using a fine point sharpie marker. This diagram is a generic
two bend scenario, for more complex parts the steps are generally the same. Use Material
Layout section for further reference.
Operation
1. After the connection to your machine is complete, and the height and center line positions
are verified, the IDX-10 can be used.
2. Your first part should now be clearly marked. These marks will be used to position the tubing
perfectly with the “0” mark on the die, and to set your IDX stops. Only your first part needs to
be marked, after that the IDX stops will be used.
3. Insert a piece of material through the hook arm of the die being used and insert through the
chuck. (note: If multiple parts are being produced, the material should be marked so the
linear chuck position can be repeated) position the material so the start of bend mark lines
up with the “0” mark on the die, now set your first stop on the index table and produce the
first bend. NOTE: The complete table will swing, be sure not to interfere with the motion.
4. After the bend is complete, the die must return to home. Once the die is home, the material
can be advanced and rotated (if required) to the next “0” mark. The next stop can now be
set. Repeat as required, your IDX table comes standard with (4) stops.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the hook arm of the die does not catch the tubing when
returning to home position.
5. The previous steps are just examples how to set stops and produce various bends; it is up to
the user to define exactly how their IDX will be set up. BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL will be glad
to offer any suggestions for your application.
