Lockformer Pittsburgh 18, Инструкции и схемы деталей

Страница: 7 / 19

Turn CALIBRATED DIAL all the way down and then back to gauge of metal to be run through the
machine. Hold material against the angle gauge and slide it into the forming head. Be sure to hold the
material to the gauge.
Your Lockforrner has been adjusted at the factory, but on account of the difference in materials in various
localities it is sometimes necessary to readjust it. Proceed as follows:
(1) If material slips or sticks on leaving forming head, tighten Hold Down Stud at finishing end
slightly.
(2) If the material works away from the feed gauge tighten Hold Down Studs at starting end until it
corrects itself.
(3) If the material shows heavy pressure marks, loosen Hold Down Studs slightly.
If a wider or narrower hammer-over edge is desired, move the angle gauge forward or back. Be sure to
keep the gauge parallel with the front edge of the tap plate of the machine.
MATERIAL SHOULD NOT TOUCH GAUGE ON FINISH END OF MACHINE.
It is very important that long sheets be held flat and against the angle gauge when starting through the
forming head.
The Lockforrner 18 will handle pieces 8” and longer. If shorter length is required, NOTCH LONG LENGTH
AND CUT AFTER FORMING.
Lubrication
There are seven alemite fittings located on the underside of the stand roller case on the auxiliary side of
the machine. These fittings lubricate the main reduction bearings and should be lubricated after every
four hours of operation.
Recommended lubricant:
Standard Viscous #3 (Product of the Standard Oil Company) or equivalent. The slow speed shafts do not
require additional lubrication. Grease gears periodically or as needed. If machine is to be used out of
doors, an oil or grease film will prevent rusting of surfaces.
