Page 24: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Operating commands and control devices The crimping machine is operated exclusively by means of the relevant foot pedals (fig. 5.1). In the legend below you find a description of the pedals functions. Fig. 5.1 Command description fig. 5.1: 1. -
Page 25: Other Commands On The Crimping Machine
Other commands on the crimping machine Besides the foot pedals the machine is equipped with a pressure regulator (1, fig. 5.2) for the regulation of the inlet pressure. The operator can regulate the pressure through the adjusting knob (2) and control his value with the gauge. (3). Fig. -
Page 26: Machining Cycle
Machining cycle The machining cycle to carry out for working different profiles is the following: — Open the safety guard. — Adjust all tools(reference forks, eccentric guides, vertical cylinder for clamping, position of crimping heads and crimping knives) according to the sizes and features of profile to be machined. —... -
Page 27: How To Work A Profile
How to work a profil The machine can work profiles with various sizes and features. Therefore, the user must carry out the machine set up in order to adjust the various tools according to the profile to be machined. The machine adjustings are the following: —... -
Page 28: How To Adjust The Eccentric Guides
5.5.2 HOW TO ADJUST THE ECCENTRIC GUIDES — Open the safety guard. — Loose the screws (1, fig. 5.4) and swing outwards the eccentric guides (2). — Insert a sample profile into the machine and press it against the reference forks. —... -
Page 29: How To Mount And Adjust The Bracing Clamp
5.5.3 HOW TO MOUNT AND ADJUST THE BRACING CLAMP — By closed safety guard activate the bracing clamp through the left pedal (1, fig. 5.1) locking it. — Open the safety guard to move backward the bracing clamp. ! ! ! WARNING ! ! ! Do not interfere in the area of bracing clamp's movement, by opening the safety guard the bracing clamp goes back without re-entering in the machine bed. - Page 30 5.5.4 HOW TO MOUNT AND ADJUST THE CRIMPING KNIVES — Open the safety guard. — Loose four screws (1, fig. 5.6) on the crimping head (2) and adjust the position of head by swinging the screw (3) according to the crimping point of corner's chamber (dimension «d», fig. 5.7) where the reference forks will press.
