5-2 Vice Jaw Installation and Adjustment
Description:
The Vice Jaw is supported on an assembly attached to the body by a slide and a M20 cap headed
screw. The Vice Jaw is clamped by a countersunk screw and clamping plate onto the assembly; this
system allows horizontal adjustments. Vertical adjustment is made by moving the assembly to the
nearest appropriate M20 hole then fine adjustment is made via the knurled jacking screw.
To Fit & Adjust A Vice Jaw
Lower the Vice carrying bracket until the vice jaw can be located onto the bracket, but do not clamp
into position at this stage.
Place a short length of tube on to the jaw and adjust the bracket upwards by using the jacking screw.
Obviously, the bracket retaining screw should be slightly loosened at this stage.
The adjustment is correct when the gap between lands on vice jaw and bending former is
approximately 1.0mm.
NOTE: Slightly more tension may be needed for Single Module applications. DO NOT OVER
TENSION !!.
Now, tighten the M12 jaw fixing screw and also the M20 cap headed screw.
