Follow these instructions to reference the gauge bar:
Important
For AB6 systems equipped with Ram control, the Ram On key’s
LED should be off indicating the control is in Standby mode.
1.
Place the flip fingers or gauge blocks on the gauge bars at the
extreme ends of the tooling to ensure that the gauge bar is
parallel to the tooling.
2.
Loosen the clamp bolts on the lower part of the vertical
supports. Slightly pull back the support.
3.
Loosen the carriage arrestor bars.
4.
Program a single bend job with a 5" (127 mm) dimension and
0 bend allowance.
Note
Refer to the “Job Programming” and “Bend Programming” sections
of the AB6 Programming and Operations manual for more
information.
5.
Press the Run button.
6.
Insert the zero reference bars so the machined edges face the
gauging surface with the “V” notches aligning with the punch
centerline.
7.
Carefully jog the ram until the tooling firmly clamps the zero
reference bars. Lock the ram in this position.
8.
Adjust the gauge bar’s height so the gauging surface is
aligned with the reference bars.
9.
Push the vertical supports forward so the gauging surface is
flush against the zero reference bars. For the most accurate
results, use a 0.002" feeler gauge to verify that the gauge
surface is flush with the machined edge of the zero reference
bars.
10.
Lock the clamping bolts at the bottom of the vertical
supports.
11.
Return the ram to its open position. Remove the zero
reference bars and store them in a safe place.
12.
Press the console’s Stop button.
