QUICK CHANGE TOOL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
†
†For Machines fitted with a Quick Change Tool
The electromagnetic quick change (QC) tool is used to fit and remove all the dies in one operation
without having to install them by hand one by one. It is connected to the machine base and
operated using a switch located on the tool handle. To correctly use the tool, follow these
instructions.
Inserting Dies Into The Machine:
1.
When the button is pressed to use a QC tool to change the dies the head automatically
closes to the correct diameter to insert the correct dies.
2.
Remove the QC tool from the holder and select required die set from the die rack.
3.
Holding the QC tool firmly with both hands, align the tool with the required die set. The
tool should be orientated such that the pins on the tool are fully inserted into the
positioning holes in the
dies.
4.
Switch on quick change
tool, the red light will
come on the switch, and
the dies will now be
magnetically held by the
tool.
5.
Pull the dies out of the
insert on the rack in a
smooth, linear movement.
6.
Insert the dies into machine in a similar movement parallel to the machine axis, (not at an
angle), with a firm push so that they click into place past the location ball bearings, and
then switch the QC tool off.
7.
Remove the QC tool from the dies and replace back into the holder.
NOTE! Never open
the dies with the tool still inserted into the dies.
8.
Press the red button on the machine base to open the machine jaws to begin the swaging
operation.
