Replacing Upper Die - Baileigh Industrial BP-3305CNC Operator's Manual

Replacing Upper Die

The upper die is a two piece design which allows each half to be slid out the side of the press
table area. The quick change handles allow for fast tooling changes.
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. Safely start the machine and place the
selector switch in INCH mode.
2. Lower the ram until the top die is
approximately 1/16" (1.5mm) from
bottoming in the lower die.
3. Stop the machine and turn the main
disconnect to OFF and LOCK OUT
power.
4. The top die is a two piece design; replace
one segment at a time.
5. Rotate each of the die clamp handles (ccw) half a turn for the half of the die being replaced.
6. Open the side guard on the end of the press and slide the die out. Make sure there is
adequate clearance around the machine to safely remove and replace the die.
7. Carefully slide in the new die (or die segment).
8. When positioned as needed, rotate the clamp handles (cw) to securely tighten and lock the
die in position.
9. From the end of the die, check upper and lower die alignment. If the die alignment is not
correct, follow the die rotation instructions to loosen the lower die and align the dies.
Always keep hands and fingers from between the dies.
