CHANGING AND ADJUSTING DIES

Rotating Lower Die

WARNING:
The dies supplied with the press are heavy. Have an assistant and a suitable lifting
device available. DO NOT try and remove by yourself.
Note: Never install or use dies that are cracked, chipped, or otherwise damaged.
Make sure dies are the correct size and type to reduce the risk of overload.
1. Start the machine and place in INCH mode.
2. Lower the ram to the bottom of the stroke.
3. Loosen the four adjusting bolts (C) which secure the die to the bolster.
4. Install the lift chains on both ends of the die and allow the ram to return to the full up position
(TDP) to lift the lower die.
5. With the die elevated: Slowly rotate to the desired position and carefully lower the die down
onto the bolster using INCH mode.
6. Lower the top die gently into the selected V-groove of the bottom die to position it.
7. When the ram is near the lower die, check if the clearance "a" and "b" between the punch
and the die, is equal within the whole length. If not, use the adjusting bolt (C) to adjust the
lower die. Make the clearance "a" and "b" is equal within the whole length.
8. When aligned, tighten the clamps (C) EVENLY and securely.
Always keep hands and fingers from between the dies.
