  • Page 48: System Operations

    6M14 / 10M14 Air-Operated Front Material Return System Operations: The Air-Operated Front Material Return is an air actuated support table used in conjunction with the 6M14 / 10M14 electro-mechanical shear. The Air-Operated Front Material Return (or the Material Return) supports the work material during the shearing process, and then directs the cut piece into the material chute, located at the front of the machine.
  • Page 49: System Description

    6M14 / 10M14 Air-Operated Front Material Return System Description The Material Return system is comprised of the Material Return, two Support Arm assemblies, actuating Air Cylinder, mating air valving, and Control Switch. The Support Arms are mounted to the upper Ram, and are used to attach the pivots for the Material Return and Air Cylinder.
  • Page 50 6M14 / 10M14 Air-Operated Front Material Return The Air Cylinder attaches to the right-hand Support Arm through an adjustable mount. The rod of the Air Cylinder attaches to the Material Return through an actuation lever, attached to the rear of the Material Return.
  • Page 51 6M14 / 10M14 Air-Operated Front Material Return The Air Cylinder is connected to an Air Valve that controls the rotation of the Material Return. The air pressure for the system is set by an air regulator. Incoming air is connected to system through a male connector attached to the air regulator.
  • Page 52: Operating Instructions

    6M14 / 10M14 Air-Operated Front Material Return Operating Instructions The Air-Operated Front Material Return requires 80 to 100 psi clean filtered shop air. The system has an operating range of 60 to 100 psi, adjustable at the air regulator provided with the system. The incoming shop air is connected just below the regulator.
  • Page 53 6M14 / 10M14 Air-Operated Front Material Return Adjusting the Air Regulator varies the pressure with which the Material Return rotates. The pressure is preset at the factory to provide smooth quiet operation. If the air pressure requires adjusting, rotating the knob on the regulator clockwise will reduce the pressure, and rotating the knob counterclockwise will increase the pressure: observe the air pressure on the Pressure Gage.
  • Page 54: Control System

    6M14 / 10M14 Air-Operated Front Material Return controls the upward speed. Rotating these valves clockwise reduces the speed of the Material Return. Each valve has a locking nut to prevent changes in the speed once the valves are set. CAUTION Excessive speed of the Material Return can cause vibration of the Return at its top position, and impacting (or banging) of the Material Return at its bottom position.
  • Page 55 6M14 / 10M14 Air-Operated Front Material Return Rotating the Selector Switch to "AUTO" prepares the Material Return to actuate each time the upper Ram is lowered to cut the work material. The Material Return remains in the horizontal position until a flag attached to the right hand side of the Ram activates the Actuation Proximity Switch (or the Prox Switch).
  • Page 56 6M14 / 10M14 Air-Operated Front Material Return If the Prox Switch requires adjusting, the two (2) nuts threaded on to the switch can be rotated to move the switch in or out relative to the Actuation Flag. There is an LED light located at the rear of the Prox Switch that indicates the switch is activated when the light is on.
  • Page 57: Automatic Operation

    6M14 / 10M14 Air-Operated Front Material Return Automatic Operation When the Selector Switch is set to "AUTO" the Material Return will raise and lower automatically as the Ram moves through its cutting cycle. The Air Cylinder holds the Material Return horizontally, allowing the work material to rest on it, until the Prox Switch is activated by the Actuation Flag.
  • Page 58 6M14 / 10M14 Air-Operated Front Material Return the legs of the machine together. This prevents damage to the Material Return. The "DOWN" mode is recommended for use in Continuous cycle cutting. It is also useful to create clearance between the Material Return and the Backgauge Stop.
  • Page 59: Periodic Maintenance

    6M14 / 10M14 Air-Operated Front Material Return Periodic Maintenance The Air-Operated Material Return system requires very little maintenance. However, following these procedures will increase the life of the system, and help provide trouble-free operation. Although the system uses self-lubricated bearings, the pivot bearings for the Material Return should be inspected once a week (depending on use of the system) for signs of excessive wear.
