Measuring the slotted clamp bar
Folding a tray note that the folded sides fit into the slots
HOW TO CHECK THE ACCURACY OF YOUR MACHINE
Critical aspects of Electrabrake are that working surfaces of the bending beam, the bending edge
clamp bar are straight and that both of these surfaces are parallel. This can be checked with a
precision straight edge.
How to check using the machine.
Swing bending beam up to 90deg. and hold or lock it in position with a back stop clamp collar at
the back of the angle slide on the handle. Check the gap between the working surface of the
bending beam and the edge of the clamp bar. Set the gap at 1mm on each side by using the clamp
bar adjusters. A feeler gauge or scrap piece of metal can be used.
The gap must be the same along the edge of the clamp bar. Variations can be within +/-0.2mm.
The gap must not exceed 1.2mm and be less than 0.8mm. Should the adjustors not be the same at
each end, they will have to be reset – see Maintenance page 16.
Notes
The straightness of the elevated clamp bar is not important as this is flattened out in magnetic
clamping when in use.
The gap between the magnet body and bending beam is about 2 to 3mm. This does not affect the
bending accuracy.
