This document is the OPERATOR'S MANUAL for the AMADA FBD III - 3512~1253 (NC9-FS). It was copyrighted in 1998 by Amada Engineering & Service Co., Inc., located at 14921 East Northam Street, La Mirada, CA 90638. An earlier copyright from 1995 by AMADA Co., LTD. is also noted for the operator's manual specifically. The manual is printed in Japan.

Function Description:

This manual describes the installation, operation, and maintenance of the AMADA FBDIII-3512/5012/8025/1253 series of machines. While the specific model numbers indicate variations in size or capacity, the core function is that of a press brake, used for bending sheet metal. The manual emphasizes the importance of reading it carefully before installation, operation, or maintenance to ensure proper and safe procedures.

Usage Features:

The manual provides extensive SAFETY RULES to prevent injuries and accidents during the operation of the machine. These rules highlight critical aspects of safe usage:

  • Work Area Safety:

    • Do not rest tools or work on the machine.
    • Clear the area around the machine of obstacles to prevent tripping or slipping.
    • When the foot pedal is not in use, it should be placed alongside the electrical enclosure.
    • Before starting and during operation, confirm that the area around the machine is clear of people, including the area behind it.
    • Ensure the safety of assisting operators and coordinate work with them. Limit foot pedal operation to a single operator.

  • Tooling and Setup Safety:

    • When mounting or dismounting tools, set the lower beam to leave an opening of 2 to 3 mm (0.08 to 0.11") between the punch tip and the die groove bottom. Then, turn the MODE SELECT switch to OFF.
    • Never place hands between a punch and a die to hold the punch up.
    • Secure all clampers for distance pieces and die holders using snap shafts and bolts.
    • Coordinate work if others are assisting.
    • Confirm that punch and die clamp bolts are firmly tightened. If work is bent at an acute angle, punches may bite into dies, potentially dislodging and causing them to fall.

  • Operation Safety:

    • Never put any part of your body inside the machine, specifically between punches and dies. This applies to actions like picking up a handtool, holding the drooped end of the work, or adjusting the backgauge.
    • Never put fingers between punches and dies when holding small work for bending. To prevent this, set the stroke of the lower beam to less than 8 mm (0.3").
    • Hold the work correctly to prevent injury. The manual illustrates correct and incorrect ways to hold workpieces.
    • Guard against the springing up of oversized workpieces.
    • Do not exert pressure on tools exceeding their allowable pressure to prevent tool breakage and associated dangers.
    • When using 2V dies, utilize the V-groove on the rear side of the machine for additional safety.

Maintenance Features:

While the manual states it covers "maintenance," specific details are not provided in the excerpt. However, the emphasis on proper procedures and safety during tool mounting/dismounting suggests that maintenance tasks, such as tool changes and adjustments, are integral to the machine's operation and require strict adherence to safety protocols. The general instruction to read the manual carefully for "maintenance" implies that detailed maintenance schedules, lubrication points, and troubleshooting guides would be included in the full document.

Important Technical Specifications (Inferred from Model Number):

The model number "FBD III - 3512~1253 (NC9-FS)" provides some clues about the machine's capabilities:

  • FBD III: Likely indicates a series or generation of Amada press brakes.
  • 3512~1253: This range suggests variations in capacity or length. In Amada's naming convention, the first numbers often relate to tonnage (e.g., 35 tons) and the latter to working length (e.g., 1250 mm or 125 inches). Given the context of press brakes, "3512" could imply a 35-ton machine with a 12-foot (approx. 3.6-meter) bending length, and "1253" could refer to a 125-ton machine with a 3-meter bending length, or similar combinations. The "~" indicates a range of models covered by the manual.
  • NC9-FS: This likely refers to the control system. "NC" stands for Numerical Control, indicating a computer-controlled machine. "9" could denote a specific version or generation of the control, and "FS" might stand for "Full Servo" or a similar feature, implying advanced control capabilities for precision bending.

The manual is a comprehensive guide designed to ensure safe and efficient operation of these industrial bending machines.
