Basic source of power is through hydraulics. ‘Two oscillating rotary type cylinders of different sizes are mounted at the top of the machine on the same shaft. The shaft is mechani- cally linked to the ram through eccentries on each end of the shaft. When force is applied to these cylinders, the resulting pressure transmitted to the work by the ram is always equal. ‘Maximum rotation of both cylinders is 270° in any one direc tion. The cylinders do not go through a 360° rotation, On one rotation of the cylinders the ram travels through one complete stroke (at maximum two inch opening). On the return cycle an- ‘other complete stroke is made. Since the rotation of the cylinders controls the length of stroke, mechanical stops can be quickly presset to stop and reverse the ram at desired positions. Tfless than the maximum opening of two inches is required for 2 given job, the number of strokes per minute will be increased even though the ram speed is the same, because on a narrower ‘opening the rotation of the cylinders is not the full 270°. For ex- ample, on a half inch opening the approximate rotation of the cylinders is 105°. Another way of saying the same thing is that a gréater number of strokes per minute is obtained on shorter open- ings because the ram travels a lesser distance on each stroke. Net result — more strokes per minute. Wah Sake Aare Steer Iocan soe ‘Standard operating cycle on a complete stroke with 25 and 35 ton series Brakes is fast speed approach to the work —slow speed during the work part of the stroke— high speed return. The ‘smaller of the two rotary cylinders brings the ram down to a pre~ set point just above the work at a rate of 38° strokes per minute (when the stroke is set at the maximum two inch opening). ‘Then ‘through a unique valving arrangement, the valve to the larger cylinder is actuated and this larger cylinder working in coordina tion with the smaller cylinder provides maximum power during the Work Stroke, The return stroke is made at fast speed. A rate of twelve strokes per minute* (based on the maximum two inch opening), is obtained throughout the work part of the stroke. Speed of the Power Work Stroke can be decreased another 50 per cent® (to. rate of six strokes per minute) by equipping the Brake with a Let-Up Control (flow control valve). ‘sirokes per minute listed above are for the 25 ton Series. For $5 ton Serle See Table of Comparative Stroke and Speed Renges on inside back cover ‘Speed Control on 25 and 35 ton Brakes has three positions “fast”, “slow” and “dual”. The “dual” position is selected whenever the {ast speed approach — slow speed work stroke — fast speed return operating cycle is to be used. Occasionally, it may be desirable to form but a few pieces of material to 2 scribed line and the “slow” position on the Speed Control is useful then. Also, when dios are being set up in the machine it is easier to determine the exact bottom of the stroke if “slow” speed is used. Still another way of using “slow” speed is on extremely short openings usually of 14" or less. On such operations, the entire ‘operating eycle is made at slow speed by setting the Stroke Adjust- ment Selector for the 4” opening and turning the Speed Control to “slow”. Even though the Speed Control is set for “slow” operat- ing cycle in this particular example, the rate of strokes per minute is high because of the short length of stroke or opening. “Fast” speed is used for light forming and punching operations requiring less than 5 tons of pressure.PC Ue tlc 2) TO ADJUST THE SPEED CONTROL Here’s how Simple 7 and Fast itis... ; &} TO ADJUST FOR DUAL SPEED OPERATING CYCLE MT eLohNLa3 ‘WORK STROKE O TO REVERSE DIRECTION OF RAMSAFE The length of stroke for ench diferent ine job can bo quickly set t0 the narrowest Fore opting making rctally cable the operator fo catch his hands or fingers be {freon thee. ‘Tho rom canbe ony olnt duriag an operating cyete and to. same ‘Byelo can be continued with full power for the Dulance of the. sttoke, Als, the ram ca be Backed off at any" point in’ the stroke. ‘These falety fentures male Uhese mechines ideal for use by women and inexperienced operators ELIMINATES JAMMING A.gonstant flow of power ough the. hydraulic system ‘liminates the posit of Sammalng. yen though the ram ‘Spring inched into the work, power is always at the op ov command.
