2.2.1 Gate Overview
The Gate is important in the operation of the Dragon A400 as it combines with the Chuck to
hold the material securely in place during the cutting process. The Powered Gate also plays a
key role in the processing of angle material and channel material. The Gate is powered by the
C Axis motor via the Gate Ring Gear.
2.2.2 Gate Eccentric Bearing
The Gate rides on three bearings located on the back face of the assembly. There should be
no play in the Gate. The Gate should ride smoothly on its bearings with no binding. If there
is play in the Gate, or if it does not ride smoothly, the Gate can be adjusted via its eccentric
bearing. There are three bearings on the back of the Gate, only the eccentric bearing is used
to adjust the Gate, the
remaining two bearings
are not adjustable.
The Operator should
use a 9/16 in. wrench
to adjust the Gate
eccentric bearing.
Keeping the Gate clean is key to maintaining optimum performance of the Dragon
A400. Refer to Maintenance guidelines for Gate maintenance procedures and
intervals.
