LEVELING THE GUIDE PLATE WITH
THE BACK GATES
The back gates and guide plate have been precisely
leveled at the factory and should seldom require
adjustment. If however, the guide plate becomes un-level
with the back gates, the bending dies will become
misaligned and cause the tubing to wrinkle.
To properly check the guide plate and back gates for
proper levelness, follow these steps:
1. Remove bending dies from machine.
2. Retract pusher block completely.
3. Clean the guide plate and gate surface of all dirt,
grease, and other debris.
4. Seat the barrel shaft with a lead hammer.
5. Tighten the barrel shaft nuts located directly
underneath each back gate. Do not overtighten.
6. Place a straight edge across the surface of the
back gates just above the guide plate.
(See figure 1-A)
7. With the straight edge in position, check for
proper clearance as illustrated below. The
straight edge should contact the gate surface
evenly on both sides and lay flat on the surface
of the guide plate.
8. The guide plate will require adjustment/shimming if;
t
there is more than .01” gap between the plain of the
back gates and the surface of the guide plate.
t
the plain of the gate assemblies is not square with
the guide plate.
t
the plain of the back gates is actually lower than the
surface of the guide plate.
If it is necessary to shim the guide plate so that it is
square with the back gate assemblies, follow the steps
as outlined below:
1. Turn the machine on.
2. Place a set of bending dies in position.
3. Advance the radius die forward until the front Allen
bolt on the guide plate is exposed.
4. Loosen the front allen bolt on the guide plate using a
3/8” hex wrench until the head of the bolt is flush
with the surface of the guide plate. (See figure 1B)
5. Retract and remove the radius die so that the two
middle bolts are exposed on the guide plate and
loosen. Make sure that the head of the bolt DOES
NOT protrude from the surface of the guide plate.
