Section
6.1 "OCCUPATIONAL
SAFETY
DIREC'
TIVES"
under
all circumstances.
For impression
bending,
using the upper
cheek,
with the bending
cheek
swiveled
out, enter "J"
as infornntion
in the "HELP
FUNCTIONS"
cursor
field.
The "impression
bending" help
function
reduces repetitive
working
processes
to a
single
swing-out movement
of the bending
cheek
and the "close
upper cheek"
function.
The bending
cheek moves
to
its
predetermined
posilion
of its own
accord before
the upper
cheek
closes and
rernains
in the
approached bending
position.
The
bending angle
is adjusted
automatically
or
changed
to a new
angle.
The
"CLOSE
UPPER
CHEEK" foot
switch
is used to
start and resume
the working
sequence.
Taking
this
a step further, it is
possible
to combine
radiifrom various
bending
segments
logically.
A radius
rail,
which need not
necessarily
correspond
to the
generated
radius,
can
be used
to
obtain optimum
results. This
makes
the segments
inconspicuous.
The bending
cheek returns
automatically
if
the "J" help
function
is not selected.
lmpression
bending
is only
possible
within
the angle
range of
the 0
-
25 and
for sheet
thicknesses
of up
to 0.05
inches
(18
ga).
