Installation
Autobend 6 November, 1999 2-53
Selecting the Gauging Surface
The Autobend gauge bar provides various methods of referencing the
material to be formed. For best results do not place material directly
against the front edge or face of the gauge bar. This surface should be used
to hold the flip fingers and gauge blocks suited to this task. Ideally using
two stops per bend is recommended since tooling centerlines and material
edges are typically not straight.

Warning
Ensure that the carriage arrestor bars are correctly set
on the gauge(s) to prevent any part of the gauge bar,
finger(s) or block(s) from contacting the tooling in an
unsafe manner. All adjustments should be made from
the rear of the press brake. Do not reach across the
tooling or in through the bed and ram.
