What to do if the gate jaws are not operating smoothly on Bend-Tech Control Systems?
- E
  Elizabeth MatthewsAug 16, 2025
  If the gate jaws on your Bend-Tech Control Systems are not operating smoothly, several factors could be at play. Start by cleaning the gate lead screws with brake cleaner or compressed air and remember to re-lubricate them. Also, clean the gate jaw rack using brake cleaner or compressed air. If the issue persists, the rack may be out of adjustment; in this case, remove the gate and adjust the gate jaws using the eccentric bearing. Lastly, check if the rack eccentric bearings are dirty and clean them with brake cleaner or compressed air.

  If your Bend-Tech Control Systems gate isn't operating smoothly, it might be due to a dirty gate or an eccentric bearing that's out of adjustment. Try cleaning the gate with compressed air and/or brake cleaner. For extremely dirty gates, use a rag or toothbrush to help clean it. If cleaning doesn't solve the problem, remove the gate from the machine and adjust the eccentric bearing until there is no play and the gate spins smoothly.

  The torch may not be firing on your Bend-Tech Industrial Equipment due to several reasons: * The Hypertherm may not be powered on. Check the power switch, power cable, and the cable to the Control Box. * The torch might be set too high. Check the torch height with a feeler gauge and perform the Torch Mount procedure. * There could be an improper air supply. Check the air supply and air pressure. * The consumables might be worn out. Remove and inspect the torch consumables, referring to the Consumables Guide. * There might be a bad ground. Ensure the ground clamp is connected, the ground cable is secured on the Trolley, and the alligator clamp is securely connected to the ground cable on Dragon A400. * The torch wand may not be switched on. Check the switch on the torch wand.
