GP 6.27 Die Lock Mechanism and Die Rail Springs Inspection
Use this procedure to inspect the Die lock mechanism every 1000K
cycles
1. Press the Power Switch to the off position.
2. Disconnect the Power Cord.
3. Do REP 1.6 to remove the Rear Cover.
4. Do REP 3.1.1 to remove the Punch Module.
5. Raise the die lock plunger by hand to inspect if there is a heavy
spring force. There is an internal spring in the mechanism that
provides the locking load. The load is quite heavy and the plunger
may not move up. This is normal and can be verified again during
Step 10.
6. Inspect (4) plastic bushings in the Die lock brackets. (2) in the front
and (2) in the back.
7. Inspect the surface of the cam and cam follower pad, if there is any
debris, clear it.
8. Inspect the (2) external compression springs.
9. Inspect the Die rail springs. The tip of the springs should be in contact
with the side face of the die rail.
Good Spring
Deformed Spring
10. Insert a Die set in the die rail and lock the Die set and check if the tip
contacts the die set base plate only. The Die lock mechanism should
not contact anywhere else.
11. The Die Set should also slide in easily deforming the Die rail springs.
