6. Device for the Cutting Open of the Piping Ends (Work Method C, F)
6.1. Setting the Swing Range of the Gripping Folder
6.2 Aligning the Feed Table
Prerequisite:
The gripping folder 2 is aligned to the center of the pocket opening as
described Chapter 4.2.
Setting the swing range
The piping knives must run in the middle groove 6 of the
placement table 5 during the cutting sequence.
The guide plate 7 serves for additional sideways guidance of the
gripping folder 2 during the cutting sequence.
–
Loosen mounting screw 8 of the guide plate 7 slightly.
–
Limit the swing range of the gripping folder:
Feed table right:
Feed table left:
–
Lower the gripping folder 2 onto feed table 5.
–
To check the setting pull out the compressed air coupling 14.
The cylinders 1 and 3 can be operated by hand.
Caution Risk of Injury !
With operation of the cylinders 1 and 3 the piping knives run out
downward from the sole of the gripping folder.
With improper use a danger of cuts exists throught the sharp blades of
the piping knives.
–
Carefully run out the piston rods of the cylinders 1 and 3 manually.
Hereby check if the piping knives run centered in the groove 6 of
the placement table 5 during the whole cutting motion.
Attention Risk of Breakage !
The piping knives may in no case touch the sides of the groove 6
during the cutting motion. The blades of the piping knives are very
susceptible to sideways pressure.
–
Should the piping knives touch the sides the feed table 5 must be
aligned parallel to the knife motion.
–
Set the guide plate 7 sideways.
The sole of the gripping folder must lie centered in the recess of
the guide plate 7.
–
Tighten mounting screw 8 of the guide plate 7 and attach the
compressed air coupling 14 again.
With the mounting of the placement table on the left side; this was set
at pretension at the factory.
With the mounting on the right side, the sole 4 of the lowered gripping
folder 2 must lie flat on the placement table 5 along the whole length.
This is necessary so that the piping strip is tensioned along its whole
length during cutting.
–
Lower the gripping folder 2 onto feed table 5.
–
Set the angle of the placement table after loosening the screw 12.
–
Set the feed table 5 against the sole of the gripping folder with a
slight pretension by turning the pulling screws 10 and 11 in or out.
Set stopper screw 9
Move plate 13.
