Machine freezes or locks up
Grease point areas are dry.
Regularly oil and grease all the
Grease Nipple points.
There is excess pressure on the
Upper Drift Pin Assembly. Rotate the Upper Drift Pin Assembly
counterclockwise.
The V Belts are loose.
Adjust the Motor Support Arm's nuts
to tighten the V Belts (correct tension
is [N] 92.47).
The press is being started with the
Upper Punch at a low point. Adjust the starting position so that the
Upper Punch is at the highest point.

The Upper Punch and Lower Punch
are colliding with the Die.
After loosening its bolts, readjust the
Base Plate until it is correctly aligned.

slightly off.
Loosen the Base Plate bolts and
rotate the machine until the Upper
Punch is aligned with the Die's bore.
After that, tighten the bolts back.

Check that there is not a buildup of
powder between the Lower Punch
and the Die. Then check that the
Lower Drift Pin Assembly has enough
clearance to drop through the hole in
the Base.
Heavy resistance during production
The high friction areas are either
unclean, locked, worn out, or not
greased properly. Apply grease to the Grease Nipple
points and all high friction areas on
the machine.
