• whether movable parts jam or are damaged • do not use the device in the event of finding defects • only allow the device to be repaired by a specialist or in an authorised NOVOPRESS specialist work-shop • only use original and identical NOVOPRESS spare parts.
Max. Dimensions: SLB 125 with carriage: Table height: Total height: 1145 Width: Depth: SLB 125 with table stand Total height: 415 mm Width: 500 mm Depth: 677 mm 3. Operative range The following types of busbars can be cut, perforated and bent using the SLB125: up to a max.
4. Commissioning Snap coupling Coupling Hold the coupling body (KM) against the sliding sleeve (SH) and push onto the coupling plug (KS). Uncoupling Hold the coupling body (KM) against the sliding sleeve (SH) and pull from the coupling plug (KS). •...
5. Stroke Limiter (required for bending) For bending, the bending angle can be adjusted using the stroke limiter. A larger stroke is required for cutting and perforating than for bending. To ensure that the adjusted bending angle is retained, the stroke limiter can be switched On and Off for cutting and perforating using an indexing bolt.
6. Cutting Installing the blade • Press the lock (1) and hold. • Insert the blade (2) in guide (A). • Release the lock (1) and pull back to the starting position if necessary. Information! The lock (1) must be in the starting position; otherwise, the hydraulic unit cannot be switched on.
7. Perforating Instructions for using the tools • The hole diameter must not be smaller than the thickness of the material. Failure to observe this rule will result in damage to the tool. • It is impermissible to enlarge holes using the progressive die technique. Similarly, the minimum distance between two holes or between a hole and the edge of the busbar must be at least the thickness of the tool.
Profile tools Upper tools have a straight pin on the outer diameter. To align the upper tool, there are 2 grooves in the upper tool holder. Lower tools have two V grooves on the outer diameter arranged at 90° to one another. When fitting, each V groove (depending on the required perforation or the alignment of the upper tool) must be aligned with the grub screw (9).
Perforating without the hole template CAUTION! Damage to upper tool when perforating aluminium When perforating aluminium, the upper tool may become caught in the workpiece. The workpiece is not wiped off. Therefore: – To prevent this from happening, the upper tool should be greased or oiled. •...
Perforating with the hole template for DIN perforations The hole patterns of the hole templates comply with DIN 43673. The busbar widths and hole patterns for each template can be taken from the following table. Ord. no. b (mm) Hole pattern b (mm) Hole pattern e1 (mm) e2 (mm) e3 (mm)
8. Bending Installing the bending device • Insert the bending device (7) into the guide (B). Bending The bending angle is adjusted using the stroke limiter (25). The millimetre scale indicates the amount of forward stroke. The correct settings for the required bending angle should be determined by means of test bends (see table).
9. Perforating tools for laminated copper and flat bars less than 34 mm wide Operative range Perforating tools with extra wipers must be used for laminated copper and flat bars less than 34 mm wide. Maximum busbar thickness (non-insulated): up to 10 mm Each upper tool has a separate extra wiper.
Assembly Mount the extra wiper (17) on the holder (20) and press down firmly by hand (caution with the centring point!). Disassembly Pull the extra wiper (17) from the holder (20).
10. Adjustable template, order no.: 31890, for perforating tool Adjusting the hole template The scale on the x axis (25) indicates the distance (X) between the template stop and the centre of the hole to be punched. The scales on the y axis (26) indicate the distance (Y) between the supporting surface of the busbar on the template and the centre of the hole to be punched.
Inserting the hole template • In order to perforate, the indexing bolt (3) must be locked into the V groove. If this is not the case, pull up the indexing bolt (3), rotate through 90° and lock into the V groove (see page 3). Note! The hole templates must be inserted as shown.
11. Swan-neck Bending Tools Operative range Copper and aluminium busbars can be bent using the swan-neck bending tools. The maximum cross-section is as follows: for swan-neck bending tool (small), order no.: 31425 for aluminium: 120 x 10 for copper: 120 x 6 80 x 10 for swan-neck bending tool (large), order no.: 31646 for aluminium:...
Tables for swan-neck bending tools Swan-neck bending tool (small), order no.: 31425 Shank length F (at Hmax) = Insertion size X minus 15mm Min. length for insertion L min = 22 mm Bending radius = 7.5 mm Width of swan-neck = 20 mm Material Width x...
Swan-neck bending tool (small), order no.: 31646 Shank length F (at Hmax) = Insertion size X minus 25mm Min. length for insertion L min = 42 mm Bending radius = 10 mm Width of swan-neck = 40 mm Material Width x Max.
12. Additional Bending Tool for Small Lug Lengths, Order No.: 31636 Operative range Using the standard bending tool, order no.: 31243, and the additional bending tool, order no.: 31636, small lug lengths up to 25 mm (0.984“) can be bent. The maximum cross-section is as follows: for aluminium: 120 x 10 for copper...
13. 60mm U bending tool, order no. 42430 Range of application Using the 60mm U bending tool, order no. 42430, small U shapes from 60 mm onwards can be bent inwards. Installing the U bending tool • Remove the indexing bolt. •...

• Remove mandrel (13). • Insert the new bending mandrel. • Pull up the indexing bolt. • Rotate the indexing bolt through 90°. • Allow the indexing bolt to lock into the V groove. • Screw in 2 cylinder screws (40). •...
Bending See chapter 8 “Bending” Removing the U bending tool Disassembly in reverse assembly order. CAUTION! Damage to the SLB if mandrel (13) is not fixed with screws (40). The mandrel (13) may turn during cutting or perforating if it is not fixed with the screws (40).
14. Lamella cutter, order no.: 45445 Range of application The lamella cutter is suitable for cutting: Lamellar copper busbars with a maximum size for insertion of 129 mm x 18 mm. Installing the lamella cutter • Press lock (1) and hold it. •...
Cutting CAUTION! Damage to device and risk of injury from swarf and cutting debris Unremoved swarf and cutting debris may cause the blade to tilt and break. Therefore: – Keep the lamella cutter free of swarf and cutting debris. • In order to cut, the indexing bolt (3) must be locked into the V groove. If this is not the case, pull up the indexing bolt (3), rotate through 90°...
After each use: Clean guides A and B to remove dirt, swarf etc. Clean blade guide M to remove swarf and cutting debris. Every week: Clean SLB 125. Perforating tool After 20 perforations: Grease or oil the upper tool Before each tool installation: Clean the mounting hole for the lower tool.
