Description of the machine The Shannon HRP/D plastic bending-machine is a rapidly convertible semi-automatic bending machine for the production of large series of items with multiple bends for the plastic sheet processing industry. The machine has four adjustable heating elements as standard, the temperature of which can be adjusted by electronic controls.
Technical Data model HRP/D Assembly control 4 (max. 8) lower heating element 2 (max. 4), fitted with single filament upper heating element 2 (max. 4), fitted with single filament pressure bar 2 (max. 4) Feed belts 3 (max. 6) Speed controller...
The machine may only be used for heating narrow zones in flat plastic sheet. Any other use could lead to very hazardous situations or cause damage to the machine! The plastic sheet to be bent should never be more than 20 mm thick. User’s guide HRP/D...

First slide the notched nuts into the aluminium X-profile roughly level with the holes and then lay the solid core strip on top. Switch on the machine again as in Section 7. User’s guide HRP/D -21-...
Adjust the height of the filament using the knurled nut. These can be reached from the sides. Make sure that the filament height is the same on both sides. Start up the machine again as in Section 7. User’s guide HRP/D -22-...
You can set the filament to a minimum of 6 mm above the plastic. Adjust the height so that the element is clear of the plastic. Open the top frame (Switch G, page 12). Reset the timer (K, page 12). Start the machine again as in Section 7. User’s guide HRP/D -23-...
Hold the guide parallel to the front of the machine. This stops the clamping blocks from binding. Tighten the handles. Always ensure that the stop is placed in such a way that heating elements or pressure bars cannot hit the stop as they are lowered. User’s guide HRP/D -24-...
Undo the connection wires in the heating element, at the terminals. Never use pliers. This could damage the terminals. Remove the strips of solid core material next to the heating element. (Use socket screw key no. 5). User’s guide HRP/D -25-...
Place the two supporting prongs on the outermost X-profiles and screw them into the notched nuts using socket head screws (M6x12 cylinder head). (Use socket screw key no. 5). Do not tighten them fully yet. Line them up with each other. User’s guide HRP/D -26-...
