H5502 Benchtop Bending System
If many of the same parts and pieces are going to
be fabricated, the adjustment screw will help
make these parts quickly. The adjustment screw
is a feature that does not need to be used, but if
used, is a real time saver and will improve
repeatability and accuracy when used correctly.
Using the adjustment screw with the bending
block:
The adjustment screw is basically a stop or a ref-
erence point that can be locked in place to ensure
repeatability.
1.
After bending the workpiece to the desired
angle, run the adjusting screw until it is tight
against the slide block (Figure 15).
Using the adjustment screw with the roll:
1.
When the workpiece is at the desired shape,
do not release pressure on the square han-
dle until the adjustment screw is snug
against the slide block (Figure 15).
2.
Tighten the adjustment nut until it is in con-
tact with the rear block (Figure 16).
3.
Move the square handle to take pressure off
of the adjustment screw, back the adjust-
ment screw out, allowing the feed roller to
move away from the guide rollers.
4.
Insert another workpiece to be rolled.
5.
Tighten the adjustment screw until the
adjustment nut contacts the back block to
reference the workpiece.
2.
Run the adjustment nut up against the back
block, locking the adjustment screw. Note—
Each time a workpiece is bent the slide block
travel is limited by the adjustment screw.
