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

Adjusting Upper Die

The upper die is a two piece design with each section held in position by four mounting block.
Each mounting block uses a wedge block to allow for alignment of the two die sections as well
as making the upper die set parallel to the 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. Use a straight edge to check that the lower edge
of the upper die is on a straight line.
2. Measure from each end of the lower edge of the
upper die to the top of the lower die. These
measurements should be exactly the same to be
parallel.
3. If either setting needs adjustment; safely start the
machine and place the selector switch in INCH
mode.
4. Lower the ram until the top die just contacts the
lower die.
5. Loosen the socket head cap screws (1) just
enough to allow the wedge blocks (2) to slide.
6. Slide the wedge blocks right or left as needed until evenly snug in the slots to align the upper
die evenly into the lower die.
7. Tighten the socket head cap screws (1) to secure the wedge blocks (2) in position.
Always keep hands and fingers from between the dies.
