ADDITIONAL OPERATOR
CONTROLS
One additional Palmbutton Operator Station
and/or footswitch can be installed on the FM. See
previous description of FM CONTROL STATION in
SECTION 6 for the operation of these controls.
GAGE INSTALLATION
The CINCINNATI INCORPORATED FM gages are
shipped disassembled from the machine. Remove
the gage assemblies from their packing
container(s). Remove any protective wrapping and
clean the parts.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the gage or make
electrical connections until a CINCINNATI
INCORPORATED Service Representative is
present.
For the final adjustments and installation of the
gage, see the MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS,
SECTION 9, of this manual.
BACKGAGES
Set-up and operating techniques for the optional
backgage are described in SECTION 5. Also
described are the gage assemblies and fingers used
with these backgages. Programming is described in
SECTION 7.
There are two optional backgages available on the
FM. They are the CNC Plate Gage and the CNC
Heavy Duty Backgage.
CNC PLATE GAGE
This backgage is intended for applications where
the majority of material is heavy sheets or plate
weighing over 100 lbs. (45.4kg). It is a dual drive
type with a 24” (610mm) or 40” (1016mm) range
powered X-axis. The R-axis is 8” (203mm) program-
mable powered vertical adjustment. See Figure 8-1.
The Plate Gage is programmable and can be posi-
tioned and sequenced in the horizontal X-axis and
vertical R-axis.

CNC HEAVY DUTY BACKGAGE
This backgage has a 24” (610mm) or 40” (1016mm)
powered X-axis (front-to-back) whose position can
be programmed by entering numerical data into the
CNC Multi-Axis Control. The positioning speed is
1200 in/min. (508 mm/sec). This backgage has
vertical adjustment up to 8” (203mm) either manu-
ally using a handwheel on each guide assembly or
by a programmable powered adjustment with a
positioning speed of 300 IPM. See Figure 8-2.
