Adjusting The Adjustment Gib - Gechter HKPE Series Translation Of The Original Operating Manual

Adjusting the Adjustment Gib

If the press sled has too little or too much play, i.e. it either can jam or move
laterally, the adjustment gib must be adjusted.
Carry out the following activities:

Loosen lock nuts on the right side of the guide unit with an open-end
wrench.

Align the adjustment gib evenly and in parallel by turning the threaded
pins with an Allen key so that it has the same play up and down.

Tighten lock nuts on the right side of the guide unit with an open-end
wrench.
The adjustment gib may not be set too tightly since the press
will not reach its specified press force and increased wear will
occur.
