6.0 Adjustments
6.1 Counterweight position
Proper counterweight position determines amount
of leverage for the bend, and most efficient
movement of apron for the operator.
To adjust, back off top nut (K, Figure 5) and rotate
counterweight (lower nut will turn with it) to desired
position. Bring top nut back into contact with
counterweight.
When lifting the apron for a bend, grasp handle (L)
to push counterweights.
Do not grasp the threads as
they may cause cuts to hand.
6.2 Apron adjustment
The apron assembly has been adjusted by the
manufacturer for use with material having the
capacity listed in the Specifications section. If any
misalignment occurs, correct as follows.
The forward edge of hold-down fingers should be
adjusted parallel to pivot edge of press bar. Release
clamping pressure on hold-down assembly by
pushing clamp handles slightly to the rear. Turn
knobs (M, Figure 6) to adjust hold-down assembly
for parallel.
The truss nuts (N, Figure 6) can be used to help
achieve
alignment
assemblies, by eliminating any bowing at the center
of these assembles.
Finger alignment can be achieved by loosening the
socket head screws on the fingers and raising apron
to 90-degree position. Push fingers forward against
apron bar for proper alignment. Retighten all
screws.
