I was using my break tonight and it just lost all power in the middle of a bend. The supply circuit is good, any ideas what it could be?

A Baileigh BB-4816M brake could lose power during use due to several reasons:
1. Power Cord Issues – The power cord may be damaged, improperly connected, or entangled, disrupting the power supply.
2. Obstruction in the Machine – If there is an obstruction, the machine may not function properly, and power may be interrupted.
3. Main Power Switch – The switch may have been accidentally turned off or not properly engaged.
4. Power Supply Problems – The external power source may be unstable, disconnected, or experiencing an outage.
5. Improper Setup – If the machine is not set up correctly, it may not function as expected, leading to a perceived power loss.

Ensuring proper installation, checking connections, and verifying the power source can help prevent power loss.

If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle  Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.

    OPERATION CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. When handling large heavy materials make sure they are properly supported. Keep hands and fingers clear of the clamping beam. Stand off to the side of the machine to avoid getting hit with the bending apron as it comes up to bend.

    Bending Edges of Materials Piece part When bending a narrow lip (2” min. [51mm]) Piece of filler material on a piece of material it is a good idea to place a piece of filler material under the clamping bar as shown in (fig. 11). This will support the clamping bar, allowing the bar to set flat across the brake body.
  • Page 24: Bending Allowance

    BENDING ALLOWANCE In order to bend sheet metal accurately, you will need to consider the total length of each bend. This is referred to as bend allowance. Subtract the bend allowance from the sum of the outside dimensions of the piece part to obtain the actual overall length or width of the piece. Because of differences in sheet metal hardness, and whether the bend is made with the grain or against it, exact allowances must sometimes be made by trial and error.

    BEND CONFIGURATIONS Return Bends Rolled Edge Closed Channel Stiffening Rib Angle Bend Fins BENDING EXAMPLES Folding Over a Lip The thickness, width, and length of material are factors to consider when folding a lip. DO NOT exceed 20ga. (.035”) for material thickness. 1.
  • Page 26 Rolling an Edge Use a piece of solid steel round or a pipe to accomplish this. 1. Position the clamping bar and the round bar as shown in (fig. 14) to ensure that the piece part is positioned correctly. Energize the electromagnet. figure 14 2.
  • Page 27 Forming Pans With Slotted Clamp Bar The slotted clamping bar works great for making shallow pans and trays. The entire clamp bar lifts automatically for easy insertion and removal of the piece part. 1. Fold two opposite sides and the corner tabs with the slotted clamp bar. (The slots will NOT affect these bends.) 2.

  • Page 29: Checking Machine Accuracy

    Checking Machine Accuracy To achieve and maintain accurate bends on the Baileigh BB-4816M magnetic brake, the working surface of the bending beam and the bending edge of the clamp bar need to be straight. Both of these surfaces must also be parallel to each other. This can be checked periodically with a precision straight edge.
