Tool Change
When changing tools the brackets can be quickly moved up and locked clear so that the
punch can be removed from the ends of the press brake. To move the brackets for tool
change simply place your hand under the transmitter or receiver and gently slide the
bracket up. Pull the locking pin out so the bracket can slide to the maximum upper position
then release the locking pin. The locking pin is spring loaded so the bracket will now be
held in the upper position and clear for tool change. After tool change, place your hand
under the transmitter or receiver unit, pull and hold the locking pin then gently lower the
bracket to the original position (the original position is maintained by the clamp/handle
assembly), then release the locking pin.
Figure 4-6: Mounting Brackets
Warning:
When adjusting the bracket handle ensure that the bottom of the bracket is
held firmly with your free hand to prevent the bracket from free falling when the
clamp is released.
Caution:
Excessive force on the bracket handle will result in the handle breaking. Do not
apply excessive force when operating the handle. The handle should only be
operated by hand and the use of tools or implements to tighten the handle must
be avoided.

Alignment After Tool Change
After changing tools press the Tool Align button. If the automatic tool alignment is
successful the system is now ready to operate.
If the automatic tool alignment does not succeed first ensure that the alignment is correct,
as shown in
Figure 4-1
. Press the Tool Align button and adjust the receiver position
following the directions given by the receiver LEDs, until the automatic tool alignment
succeeds.
