  • Page 7: Safety Instructions

    IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS OPERATORS MANUAL CAREFULLY It contains important safety information, instructions, and necessary operating procedures. The continual observance of these procedures will help increase your production and extend the life of the equipment. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS LEARN TO RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION This is the safety alert symbol.
  • Page 8 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them often and use them to instruct others. PROTECT EYES Wear safety glasses or suitable eye protection when working on or around machinery. PROTECT AGAINST NOISE Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing.
  • Page 9 KEEP CLEAR OF MOVING OBJECTS Always be aware of the position of the material and the swing area in which the material will travel. The material will swing with significant force. This swing area will create pinch points and the force of the material movement may cause serious bodily injuries.
  • Page 10: Safety Precautions

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Metal working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
  • Page 11 11. Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. DO NOT reach over or across a running machine. 12. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. DO NOT operate any tool or machine when you are tired. 13.

  • Page 13: Unpacking And Checking Contents

    UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete in one crate. Separate all parts from the packing material and check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material. WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children and animals.
  • Page 14: Transporting And Lifting

    TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING CAUTION: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a truck operator. Make sure the machine is well balanced. Choose a location that will keep the machine free from vibration and dust from other machinery.
  • Page 15: Assembly And Set Up

    • Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery. • Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from obstructing objects. • If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend into any aisles.

  • Page 17: General Design Description

    GENERAL DESIGN DESCRIPTION You have made a practical choice in purchasing the RDB-150 Hydraulic Bending Machine. It has been carefully built of high quality materials and designed to give many years of efficient service.
  • Page 18: Electrical

    ELECTRICAL CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN! Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate. WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
  • Page 19 • Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
  • Page 20: Operation

    OPERATION CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. CAUTION: Keep hands and fingers clear of the dies and swing arms. Stand to the front of the machine to avoid getting hit with the material during the bending process.
  • Page 21: Die Selection And Installation

    Bronze Counter Die Insert “0” Mark Note: Pipe and Tube are not the same, (see table 1) for nominal pipe sizes. All BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL dies are color coded to avoid confusion between pipe and tube (see table 2). IMPORTANT: Damaged or worn tooling should be replaced before attempting to bend material.
  • Page 22 Spindle Die Drive Pins 1/2-13 Tapped holes for bolting down dies Center Pin Hitch Pin Positioning Bolts 4. To install the counter die, remove the hitch pin and insert the counter die in the opening in the counter die mount until the 3/4” holes line up. 5.
  • Page 23 Incorrect Counterdie Position Too far away from die Touching die Correct Counter Die Position Approximately 1/8” (3mm) away IMPORTANT: Be sure the long end of the counter die points away from the hook arm, or to the right of machine.
  • Page 24: Material Insertion

    Material Insertion 1. Once the die set is properly installed, the material that matches the die can be inserted (I.E. 1-1/4”tube would go into a die mark D-1250T-R***). 2. Open the counter die quick release assembly and insert the material past the hook arm. The start of bend mark is engraved with an “O”...
  • Page 25 Bending Using Main Degree Wheel 1. After the material is installed, bending can take place. 2. Turn on the power switch 3. Keep hands away from the bending zone. 4. Press the right foot pedal switch to rotate the die forward. Keeping the foot pedal activated, visually watch the degree dial (A).
  • Page 26 Using the auto stop feature – if equipped, (Setting the automatic stop position) The cylinders must be fully retracted and the main (top) degree dial must read “0”deg before setting the lower degree dial. Note: Do not adjust the micro switch mounting bracket; this is preset from the factory.
  • Page 27 Material Removal 1. After reaching the desired angle, the material needs to be removed. 2. Press the reverse (left) foot pedal. Both the die and the counter die will retract simultaneously. Run in reverse until all bending pressure is released from the bend. Activating the quick release lever 3.
  • Page 28: Material Insertion Limitations

    Material Insertion Limitations Left Right • The left figure shows the recommended minimum / correct amount of material remaining to be fully supported in plastic slide. • The right figure shows the maximum amount the material can be pulled through the counterdie.
  • Page 29: Bending More Than 180 Degrees

    Bending More than 180 Degrees • This machine is capable of bending more than 180 degrees. Contact Baileigh Industrial about your application. o It will require a password to make the machine go past 200 degrees. o Requires special tooling to allow removal of bent part. If standard tooling is used, the material will be locked onto the die.
  • Page 30 • Another program available is BEND-TECH which is a program specifically designed for tube bending and will give you all of the required data to make a part. This software is available from Baileigh Industrial. • Bending with a rotary draw bender requires determining the start of bend point which will line up with the “0”...

    • If using BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL’s standard counterdie is not producing desired results, roller counter dies are also available. • BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL has both steel rollers as well as plastic rollers. Plastic rollers are used primarily for polished aluminum. Steel rollers would be used for non-polished materials.
  • Page 34: Heavy Wall Dom Tubing

    • Use a piece of two sided coarse emery cloth in between the hook arm and the material, this works very well. • In only this application, high pressure grease applied to the DIE GROOVE also helps. • BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL can make special clamps to hold material in place. Bending With Square Dies • Die Parts...
  • Page 35: Large Size Square

    If the square material slips in the hook arm, use the supplied clamp and bolts to hold in place. BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL offer crush bend dies to form a concave crease on the inside of square bends to reduce the possibility of wrinkling.
  • Page 36: Lubrication And Maintenance

    1/2 full, fill to the top with AW-46 hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic fluid and the filter should be changed when the filter gauge reads “Change Filter”. • Check periodically for leaks. If a leak is detected, consult Baileigh Industrial. • There are four grease zerks on the machine, at the main spindle pivots. Grease these zerks every month with only two pumps from a standard grease gun.
