  • Page 19: Plug Connection

    WARNING: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle • 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.

  • Page 20: Operation

    Programmer Overview • The MB-350 Mandrel utilizes a fully programmable touch screen operator interface. The unique operator interface allows you to write and save 140 programs with 10 bends per program. Operation is extremely simple to learn. Simple foot pedal controls allow you to easily produce fast and accurate bends.

  • Page 31: Tooling Removal

    TOOLING REMOVAL Before installing or removing tooling the die head must be rotated to approximately the 90° position. This is required to gain the clearance necessary to allow the die and hook arm to clear the clamp block assembly. Follow the preceding steps to move the die head: 1.

  • Page 35: Tooling Set-Up

    TOOLING SET-UP 1. With the machine bare of tooling, and spindle at approximately 90°, the next set of tooling can be installed. 2. Select the next size tooling, making sure all of the components match the required tube size i.e.: bend die, clamp die, pressure die, wiper die, and mandrel. Aligning Index Table 1.

  • Page 36: Installing Tooling

    Installing Tooling First slide the bend die onto the center pin, the drive key will engage the bend die, be sure it is fully seated down to the spindle. Install the spindle locknut and torque to 125 ft. lbs. 1. The clamp die can be latched onto its holder making sure it is fully seated, with half round key in slot in back of the clamp die.
  • Page 37 3. Install the mandrel onto the mandrel extract shaft; we will set the distance later. 4. Clamp Die Alignment. The next step is VERY IMPORTANT! The clamp die hook position needs to line up with the hook plates. IMPORTANT: SERIOUS MACHINE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR IF THE HOOK PLATE DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THE HOOK PINS.

  • Page 38: Wiper Die Set-Up

    b. Press (F4) All of the indicator lights should indicate red, if so press (F5). c. Select manual mode. d. Momentarily press the reverse foot pedal until the hook plates get close to the clamp die hook pins. The hook pins should fall approximately centered with the hook plate opening.

  • Page 39: Pressure Die Set-Up

    Pressure Die Set-up 1. Set the pressure die in place making sure it sits properly. 2. Make sure the pressure die is at least 3”away from the tubing before extending 3. With the tubing still installed from the last step, extend the pressure die. 4.

  • Page 40: Finalize Set-Up

    4) Adjust the mandrel support rod by loosening clamp collars and bolt. Adjust to support the mandrel just below centerline to allow tubing to slip over easily. Figure 22 Adjusting the Mandrel Support Finalize Set-up 1. Re-install all of the drag links applying light preload. 2.

  • Page 41: Initial Bending

    INITIAL BENDING CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. When handling large heavy materials make sure they are properly supported. Keep hands and fingers clear of the machine when activating the hydraulics. Stand off to the side of the machine to avoid getting hit with the bending apron as it swings to bend the material.
  • Page 42 3. Apply a small amount of lube to the tip of the wiper die. Too much lube on the wiper die will cause wrinkles. Figure 24 Applying Lubrication to the Wiper Die 4. Slip the material over the mandrel. 5. On the hydraulic screen (F4) extend the clamp die. Note the clamp die’s pressure and make sure it is right for the application.
  • Page 43 10. Select a bend angle; 90° is best for initial set-up. 11. Select speed #1. 12. Bending a. Press the forward foot pedal. Watch the amp draw; it should not be more than 20 amps. b. Watch for clamp die slippage. c.

  • Page 46: Understanding Springback

    UNDERSTANDING SPRINGBACK Springback can be difficult to understand. As material is bent, the materials yield strength resists being formed. As a final degree is reached, the machine will have enough power to hold the bend at a set degree, but as the pressure of the machine is released, the material has a resistance built in, so it “springs back”...
