CHECK MULTI TOOL ALIGNMENT

1. Install the Alignment Die at the tool change positiona. Remove Existing Die or Die Carrierb. Insert Alignment Die or Die Carrier in its place tightening bolt(s) securely

Step 1a

Step 3

Step 2

Step 1b

2. With the station still rotated to the tool change position, place a piece of metal on top of the alignment Die or Die Carrier to prevent any upper tools from engaging into the Die or Die Carrier. WARNING: It is very important that the Alignment Pins are NOT engaged with the Die or Die Carrier holes when rotating the turret. Damage to the Alignment Tool and/or turret is possible.

3. Slide the Alignment Punch into the Upper Tool holder of the machine and down onto the piece of metal on the Die or Die Carrier.




CHECK MULTI TOOL ALIGNMENT (CONT.)

4. Rotate the alignment tool to the active punching station (under the ram) and engage the machine turret alignment pins to lock the active station in place. CAUTION: Alignment MUST be checked at the punching position under the ram with turret locked in place.

5. Remove the piece of metal from between the tools and lower the Alignment Punch down to the Die Carrier to check if the Alignment Punch downward vertical pins slide into the die alignment holes.

6. If the punch pins engage fully into the die holes, your station is properly aligned. a. If properly aligned, proceed to next stepb. If the pins do not fully engage, you should align the station. Stop here and proceed

to the section “Alignment Procedure” for adjusting station alignment.

7. Before rotating the turret to the tool change position, lift the Alignment Punch while placing a piece of metal between the Alignment Punch and the Die or Die Carrier. CAUTION: It is very important that the Alignment Punch Pins are NOT engaged with the Die or Die Carrier when rotating the turret. Damage to the Alignment Tool and/or turret is possible.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDUREThis procedure is a continuation from step #6 of “Check Multi Tool Alignment” section above for if alignment is needed.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3bStep 3a

1. Before rotating the turret to the tool change position, lift the Alignment Punch while placing a piece of metal between the Alignment Punches and the Die or Die Carrier. CAUTION: It is very important that the Alignment Punch Pins are NOT engaged with the Die or Die Carrier when rotating the turret. Damage to the Alignment Tool and/or turret is possible.

2. Once the piece of metal is in place, dis-engage the machine turret alignment pins and rotate the station back to the tool change position.

3a. Flange Bolts: Loosen all bolts to be slightly engaged on the Upper Assembly.

3a. Flange Bolts: Loosen all bolts to be slightly engaged on the Lower Subplate.

4. With the station still rotated to the tool change position, place a piece of metal on top of the alignment Die or Die Carrier to prevent any upper tools from engaging into the Die or Die Carrier. WARNING: It is very important that the Alignment Pins are NOT engaged with the Die or Die Carrier holes when rotating the turret. Damage to the Alignment Tool and/or turret is possible.

5. Rotate to the active punching station (under the machine ram) and engage the machine turret alignment pins.

6a. To adjust the Alignment Punch remove the piece of metal and then lower the Alignment Punch to engage the Alignment Punch Pins completely into the mating die holes.

6b. Use the Alignment Rod (NALR0D) to adjust the station until the 2 pins engage fully with the holes.

7. Bolt on the Alignment Bar (VNALTBAR*) as shown using the center hole on the alignment bar. Torque (1) M4 X 25 socket head cap screw (SHC11914) included to no more than 5.0 N-m or 44 in-lb.

*OPTION: For easier access to check angularity Mate suggests the purchase and use of a larger alignment bar (MATE02227).

*ALTERNATE: Finn-Power 20, 30, 40 and 50 series presses, Nova presses and Strippit presses the Alignment Bar (NLUBAR) may be used.

Step 5




Step 9

9. Adjust the Alignment Bar as needed per the indicator reading by gently tapping it by hand or with soft faced hammer and re-check with the indicator.• Zero is best but in most cases .025mm-.038mm or .001”-.0015” is good.• If an adjustment is made, reset indicater to zero and tram to opposite end of the

alignment bar, note any change in the indicator reading,• If additional adjustments are needed, proceed to re-adjust and re-check as many

times as needed to achieve an acceptable alignment.

10. When satisifed with the adjustment, tighten all accessible Flange Bolts up to a torque of 40 N-m, 29.5 ft-lbf or 354 in-lbf on the Upper Assembly and Lower Subplate.


8. Check the alignment by mounting a dial indicator to the rail or mounting a dial indicator with a magnetic base to a sheet of mild steel (0.074”/2mm or thicker) clamped in the machine.a. Position the dial indicator so the indicator touches the front surface of the Alignment Bar near one end of the bar.b. Set the indicator to “Zero” for reference.c. Tram or move the indicator along the front surface of the Alignment Bar towards the opposite end of the bar, noting

the change (if any) to the indicator reading.

Step 8bStep 8a Step 8c

11. Re-check alignment by re-tramming the Alignment Bar with the Dial Indicator. • If an adjustment is still required, loosen bolts to be slightly engaged and re-

adjust accordingly with a soft hammer. Repeat steps #9 and #10 until results are acceptable.




Step 13bStep 13a14. Disengage turret locking pins.

15a. Rotate machine to the tool change position and tighten all upper flange bolts to a torque of 40 N-m, 29.5 ft-lbf or 354 in-lbf.

15b. Rotate machine to the tool change position and tighten all lower flange bolts to a torque of 40 N-m, 29.5 ft-lbf or 354 in-lbf.


Steps 15bSteps 15a

12. Remove the Alignment Bar while still at the active punching station.

13a. Lift up the Alignment Punch while sliding in a piece of metal on top of Die or Die Carrier and under the Alignment Punch to disengage tools. WARNING: It is very important that the tools are NOT engaged when rotating the turret. Damage to the Alignment Tool and/or turret is possible.

13b. Lower alignment punch to rest on piece of metal.
