HEAD DOWN FEED REGULATOR
EUROMATIC 370 PP
Your 370 PP may be equipped with the head feed regulator feature. This feature allows you to control the head feed
pressure for cutting tubes and structural steel, at a faster rate. By regulating the head feed pressure you will be able to cut
through the thickest mass of the material at a normal or reduced rate. When the blade enters the interrupted section of the
material the head will speed up and cut faster. This will allow quicker cutting time on these materials.
Note
: When cutting solid materials this regulator will not activate and increase rate.
This regulator will also allow you to control the head return rate, making for quicker cycle times.
ADJUSTING THE REGULATOR
.
A: Using the large gray adjusting knob on the regulator body, pull out and turn it clockwise to slow the descent rate
down. Turning this knob counter-clockwise will increase the feed rate through the material. (Figure 1 item B)
B: To increase the head return rate, the slotted adjusting screw in the top of the bleeder body can be adjusted. Clock
wise will slow the return rate down, and counter-clockwise will increase the return rate. (Figure 1 item C)
Note: Common sense must be practiced when adjusting the return rate. Slamming the head upward can damage the
machine.
If cutting solids the down feed pressure may need to be adjusted in a way that maximum pressure is applied. (Figure 1
item A represents the head feed cylinder)
Gauge is for pressure reference, or showing the amount of pressure exerted to the cylinder.
