Conductive Mode Setup Procedure
This procedure assumes that you are thoroughly familiar with
this machine’s controls as described in the first part of this
section. If you are
not familiar with these controls, STOP. Return
to the beginning of this section and review any controls you are
not thoroughly familiar with
before continuing. If you have any
questions, contact your Haeger Representative.
Depending on the ambient shop temperature, you may need
to warm up your Haeger Hardware Insertion Machine before
beginning any operations. To do this, turn it on and let it run
for about ten minutes.
Getting started – Before you turn on the machine
1. Determine the installation force required to properly install the hardware you are going to
insert. Refer to the technical specifications provided by the hardware manufacturer for this
insertion force.
2. Select the proper tools for this application and install them in the Upper and Lower Tool Holders.
Setting the machine
1.
Turn the Main Disconnect Switch to the On position.
2.
Start the machine by pressing the On Switch.
3.
Select the Conductive Mode operation using the touchscreen, in Conductive Mode, the icon
will display a clear box, indicating its mode status.
4.
Adjust the Ram up travel to 50% of the upscale from the HMI display.
5.
Adjust the Force to the fastener/part required force specification.
Checking the up travel & insertion
1. Keep your hands away from the tooling area. Without positioning the hardware or workpiece for
insertion, depress the Down Footswitch and complete one stroke of the machine.
2. Check the position where the Upper Tool stopped. Is it adequate to permit the workpiece to be
positioned easily while fasteners are installed? If not, adjust the Ram Up travel control accordingly. If
an adjustment is necessary, check the new setting by cycling the machine again.
3. Keep your hands away from the tooling area. Insert the first piece of hardware into the workpiece.
4. Examine the insertion. Is the hardware properly seated? Is the workpiece deformed? Adjust the
insertion force accordingly and insert another fastener.
5. Once the hardware is properly inserted, start the production run.
