Cincinnati 175 CB - Section 1: Installation; Leveling

SECTION 1
Upon receipt of your CINCINNATI Hydraulic Press Brake
carefully remove the contents of the one or more packing
boxes shipped with the machine. All of the machine options
and loose parts) such. as wrenches, will be in these boxes.
Check all of the parts received with the packing list.
Claims for shortages or damaged parts should be made
within ten days. Remove all shipping paper from the
wrapped parts of the press brake.
Leave the shipping skids attached to the machine until it
has been moved to its final location.
LIFTING AND MOVING
CINCINNATI CB Hydraulic Press Brakes are readily
handled by cranes of sufficient capacity with chains or
cables adjusted to the proper length for even lifting. Use
a timber brace bet\veen the top of the housings. A typical
hitch is shown in Fi.~re 1.
FIGURE 1
Where crane facilities are insufficient in capacity or are not
available, rig the machine into final location. When rigging
into position, be extremely careful to keep the machine
supported evenly and to guard against tipping.
CINCINNATI INCORPORATED recommends that professional
riggers be employed to handle the machine to ensure
against damage or injury to workers.
If jacks are used to lo·w·er the machine onto the foundation
bolts, care should be taken to prevent twisting of the
machine.

INSTALLATION
FOUNDATION
A CINCINNATI CB Hydraulic Press Brake is not a self-
contained machine; that is, the machine must be provided
with a rigid foundation to ensure the preservation of
alignment of the housing and cross framing members. The
foundation must support the weight of the machine without
cracking or settling aut -of -level.
For details of the foundation recommended for your press
brake refer to the Foundation Plan drawing. It is
advisable, particularly in localities where unusual soil
conditions may exist, to have your foundation plan
approved by a local registered civil engineer.
As a final check, before locating the press brake on the
foundation, see that the anchor bolts in your foundation
coincide with the bolt hole spacing in the housing feet.
CLEANING
Thoroughly clean protective grease from all parts of the
machine with solvent. Go over the grease with a rag wet
with solvent and allow to soak. Use rags instead of waste.
A stiff brush will get into the corners. Do not use an
air hose - pressure may drive· dirt and grit into bearing
surfaces. After cleaning thoroughly, wipe dry and make
sure that no grease or grit is left.
With oil, clean and flush the ram guides and slides, wiping
off all excessive oil.
Periodic cleaning of the machine after installation is
advisable.
LEVELING
CINCINNATI Press Brakes are leveled by placing fIat
steel shims of proper thicknesses under the press brake
housing feet as required. Use a precision level - not a
carpenter's or machinist's leveL See Figure 2. Always
wipe level and surface clean before placing level. Give the
bubble of the precision level a half minute to come to
absolute rest.
