2.1 Operation
The operation of the SCAN bending machine is the same regardless of model,
however, are the models which have a fixed clamping limited in how much they can
bend.
Before use, folding stop (7) must be loosened. The clamping pressure is from the
factory adjusted to zero in sheet thickness. The required clamping pressure can be
adjusted by using the adjusting screws (6 until the foot pedal no. 1 can be locked at the
locking pedal. The folding beam (4) can be adjusted to the required sheet thickness by
using the handles (8) lower the folding beam to minimum sheet thickness. Check the
distance between sharp nose blade and segments by placing the folding beam in 90
. If
bend above 90
is required the folding beam must be lowered 25% additionally.
Crowning of the folding beam is carried out by means of the two bolts at the adjusting
bolt (5).
When bending the lock for the upper beam is released by using the pedal (1) (
see fig.
1.2
). Now the sheet can be entered. The upper beam is pressed down again by using
the pedal.
