ROLLER SOLUTIONS
— Use and Maintenance Instructions (cont.)
C. Operating Restrictions
1. Standard dead zone restrictions apply with this tool.
2. Minimum radius increases with material thickness, the following values are minimum radii for 1.2mm material:
Shear tool 45mm
Offset tool 25mm
Rib tool 16mm
Pincher tool 500mm
D. Table Speed Specifications
1. Straight lines can be run at full table speed, but Mate recommends approximately 37 metres per minute.
2. A table speed of 37 metres per minute would apply when running large arcs, i.e. 2000mm radius. Table speed
should be reduced for smaller arcs i.e. 7.5 metres per minute for a radius of 100mm.
E. Multiple Passes
1. The Rolling Shear should never pass over a cut line more than once.
2. The Rolling Pincher provides better results if two passes are used and must always take multiple passes of
increasing depth if the material is over 1.2mm.
3. Rolling Rib and Rolling Offset tools can take multiple passes if desired. Multiple passes must be made if the form
height is greater than 4.0mm.
F. Starting Location
1. When running the tool in a straight line, always start in the middle of the sheet or at the edge. Do not roll through
hole. Stop the tool at the edge of the hole, move to the other side and start rolling again.
G. Penetration of Material
1. When using the Rolling Shear, if you make a cut and it fails to penetrate the material, DO NOT re-cut in the same
place to set the stroke. Adjust the stroke and start again in a new location.
H. Machine and Wheel Technology
1. The nominal plunge position (BDC/LDP) value to bottom the tool is zero for the Rib Offset and Shear tools. The
Pincher should be initially set to zero but will need fine tuning to establish correct depth setting for material to
ensure the upper and lower wheels do not touch.
2. Always use a straight line to establish the correct stroke length.
