6.7.2 THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE FORMING TOOL
L
DANGER! Before closing the clamping jaws, make sure that they can
move freely - the jaws might crush your hands!
1. Fasten the tube into the clamp
2. Turn the bevelling blade into starting position by turning the switch 13 and turning
at the same time the control switch 15 of the tool into the position
.
3. The forming tool must be in such position, where the adjusting screws are up in an
approx.120
°
sector. Should this not be the case, turn the spindle into the correct position
by shortly pressing the drum rotation push button
, until the pilot lamps lights.
4. Set the “Start Pos.” to zero (0.0mm) on the display (See previous chapter).
5. Drive the carriage forward towards the tube, by turning the switch 13 at the
same time turning the control switch of the carriage 14 into the
position, until the
bevelling blade almost reaches the tube.
6. Stop the machine and push the protective hood backward. Check that the tube wall is
in the middle of the bevelling blade. Should this not be the case, then adjust the position
of the blade: loosen the locking nuts of the slide and adjust the position of the slide by
means of the adjusting screw. The basic setting value is half of the outer diameter of the
tube + 10mm. For instance, if the outer diameter of the tube is 60mm, the setting value
is 60 mm / 2 + 10mm = 40 mm. Set the value obtained to the scale of the adjustment
measure of the slide.
7. Loosen the locking lever of the regulating rod and set 30 to the scale of the regulating
rod - tighten the locking lever.
8. Pull the protective hood on its place and start the machine.
9. Drive the carriage forward until the limiter of the regulating rod stops it.
