way dies are generally used lor straight bending operat ions simila r 10 those illustrated. However other
operations, such as radius forming and use as a die holder are feasible.

Regarding technician and prevention of damage to press brake,
it's absolut~ essential to refer for proper operation procedures
to your manufacturers press brake operating manual for
instructions.
DI[ IN~[RTION
(Aft" following PRWMINARY gW'!: .b",J
NEVER PLACE HANDS BETWEEN DIES WHEN INSERTING
DIES.
When using bending type dies which are equipped with
tongues, insert them from the side of the machine.
Loosen all ram clamps and die holder set screws.
First Insert the lower die approximately its fuJI length allowing it
to remain extended past the end of the bed by several inches.
Check the distance remaining between the ram and the lower
die to detennine if the upper die can be property inserted.
Adjust the shut height as required so that the distance
remaining will permit placement of the upper die on the lower
die, with the tongue of the upper die almost tully but Ioosety
engaged into the ram clamp.
The upper die can now be camed double sling and set to rest
•q the extended portion of the lower die with the tongue guided
~ nto the slot.
After this alignment and partial insertion of the upper die has
been made, relocate the sling at the extended end to support
the upper die, push the upper die in to line up with the lower die.
Now push the set of dies to the center of the machine tor
balanced machine loading.
Run the adjustment down so that the dies -kiss." but do not
UstaJl out" the adjustment motor. This will force the upper
tongue into full engagement.
Tighten the ram clamps and the set screws in the lower holder.
Run up the adjustment to accommodate al least twice the
stock thickness.
Start the machine and cycle the brake to the top of its stroke.
DI[ ~nTING
(Aft" follo.;ng PRHlMINARY gnpg .bo,,)
Insert a sample sheet and fonn a part.
Readjust the ram as required.
Approach the setting slowly.
In may be necessary to form several sample sheets before
making an acceptable part.
This procedure will avoid the possibility of adjusting dies too
close, resulting in overloading the machine and avoiding the
possibility of jamming the machine on bottom stroke.
Over-adjustment of the ram is to be avoided.
Where deflection becomes a problem, the dies should be
shimmed to compensate for machine deflection or crowned
'''ward the center of the machine.
is not necessarily true that bringing the adjustment down
might improve the part.
If the die is already bottoming out is some places, additional
adjustment will merely increase the deflection of the machine
and may make the part worse rather than improve the part.
DI[ R[MOVAL
(AftOl follo.;ng PRWMINARY gnpgJ
NEVER PLACE HAND BETWEEN DIES WHEN REMOVlNG
DIES.
Check remaining distance between upper and lower die.
Run adjustment of ram down to reduce this clearance to
several thousandths.
Unclamp upper ram clamps and the lower die holder set screws.
Adjust ram upward slightly and check to be certain that the
upper die wilt remain resting In lower die. If this does not, the
ram clamps may require further loosening. When a hook tongue
Is used be certain it is not hanging from the hook.
If further adjustment is required to pennit removal, adjust ram
upward so that the die is loose but well confined.
With the upper die tongue partially disengaged and guided in
the loosened ram ciamp, push both upper and lower die a short
distance out of the end of the machine. Push with the hands
placed on end of dies, never between.
Position die table Qf used for small dies) or sling, at end of
machine, adjusted to proper height to accept the upper die.
Push upper die over table or into double sling with part of the
die remaining in ram.
Secure die from falling from tabkI or re-position each sling to
allow complete removal of die without falling .
If both dies are removed together and stored as a set, it is
advisable to use a sling to prevent falling of upper die from
lower die. As a precaution use steel band loops around the set,
or straps to hold them in engagement.
TONNAG[ R[QUIR[M[NT~
The tonnage requirement is detennined by the quality of the
bend and whether it is a true air bend or whether some die
bottoming takes place.
To the extent that bottoming takes place, the tonnage witt
increase correspondingly. Bottoming tonnage can be quite high.
Accurate determination of bottoming tonnage can only be done
by instrumentation and measurement.
Increased tonnage always results in increased frame deflection
or "gapping."
