The Di-Acro Power Benders are designed to accommodate two different types of tooling. The No. 6 Bender is designed to handle tubing to 1.125” diameter (.060” wall-mild steel) and mild steel round bars up to .563” diameter.
D. Installation During shipment, the bender may have accumulated a coating of dust or grit. Remove all dirt and rust preventative with cleaning solvent. WARNING: To prevent serious bodily injury fasten machine to floor through four holes (5/8” diameter) provided in the base of the machine. When shipped, the gauge is removed for packing purposes.
stop arms are not located as above, the group will be out of balance and may cause binding of the knurled knob. Connect electricity to a three-phase input supply making certain that the transformer and motor are connected properly for power being supplied. (208-230, or 460 VAC). Check pump rotation.

2. HMI Screen Displays (Without Recipe Operation) The HMI panel layout is shown in the photo below. Make note of the Function Keys, Numeric Keypad, and Enter/Return key. Two screen options are provided with the standard power bender HMI. The Main Screen as shown below is used during production runs.

Once the desired bend has been set up, place your fingers in the two-hand safety switches located on either side of the Operator’s Console. Note that the machine will begin moving when your fingers enter these switches. It will not stop until your fingers are removed or the machine runs out of travel.

The machine is coded this way to combat any drift introduced by delays in the mechanical or hydraulic system. 6. Recipe Operation (If Installed) The optional Recipe Operation function allows the user to save recipes of up to 4 consecutive bends in a recipe that may be recalled when needed for production.
Page 11
For Automatic operation with the recipe option, a recipe must be programmed and selected. Press F1 to advance to the recipe screen. The Recipe Setup Screen Display is shown below. When this screen is displayed, recipes can be programmed and selected. Press F1 to bring up the recipe selection popup.
1. Turn power on. Make sure rack assembly is fully retracted into the cylinder. If you ordered the machine complete with the No. 6 tooling assembly, the machine was set up at the factory for this position to be aligned properly for this tooling assembly.

9. Set the Quik-Lok Hanger Assembly onto the rotating arm and the Quik-Lok Compression Roller Assembly onto the Slide as Shown Below. 10. Install the proper bending collar and clamp block as shown. Bolt the clamp block to the Quik-Lok hanger assembly using socket head cap screws. REV.
Page 15
11. Adjust the Quik-Lok hanger that controls the clamp block. a. Advance the Quik-Lok hanger handle toward the radius collar so that it is in the position closest to the radius collar. b. Slide the hanger forward so that the clamp block touches the radius collar. c.
NOTE: The No. 6 Bender tooling and PLC is designed to run in the counter-clockwise direction. However, it is possible to set up the machine to perform clockwise bends. If you have a need to run the bender in this manner, please contact Di-Acro for further instruction.

6. Place the nose holder assembly on the slide as shown. Do not bolt down at this time. 7. Insert desired radius pin into center hole on mounting plate. If a radius collar is desired, insert a ½” radius pin into this hole, then slip the radius collar over it.
Page 18
9. The mounting plate should now be rotated so that the locking pin will move away from the forming nose assembly when the mounting plate moves counter-clockwise, in a position similar to the diagram below. 10. Once the mounting plate is rotated to the proper position, power up the machine and rotate the spur pinion so that the threaded holes in it align with the counterbored holes in the mounting plate.

12. Adjust the nose holder assembly. a. Push the nose holder assembly so that the nose holder touches the sample material, as shown below. b. Place the Nose Holder Support onto the Slide behind the Nose Holder Assembly so that the Nose Holder Support Screw is facing the Nose Holder Assembly. Align the bolt holes with threaded holes in the slide so that the support screw can be extended to push the nose holder assembly toward the work piece.
LEDs on the proximity switch. 6. Tighten the socket head cap screw to lock the assembly in this position. 7. Home the machine per the instructions in the Operation section of this manual (page 9).
