The only adjustment that can be made to a Solid
Clincher Plate is to make sure it is centered below
the Head’s Driver and even that adjustment can only
be made on multi-head stitcher machines.
Like other G8 Stitcher Head settings, the Bender
Bar Stop is set at the factory. The Stop controls the
position of the Bender Bar Latch (G20149) at the top
of the stitcher head’s stroke. If the Latch does not
fall within the proper area of the Driver Bar
(G20151), partially formed stitches will result or the wire feeding through the G8 will jam.
The right edge of the Bender Bar Latch should stick out from the Bender Bar at least 3/32” (2.5mm)
when the G8 reaches the top of its stroke. If the Latch does not protrude this far then the Bender Bar
Stop Screw (G20229) is set too high. If the Stop
Screw is set too low then the wire will hit the Bender
Bar rather than feeding below it for forming.
Remove the four (4) Screws securing the Feed
Gear Bracket Assembly (G20163A) to the G8; the
two (2) Socket Head Cap Screws (G20189) and the
two (2) Flat Head Machine Screws (G20190).
Remove the entire Bracket Assembly. Loosen, but
do not remove, the Set Screw (G20273) securing the
Stop Screw in the Bracket. Turn the Stop Screw
according to the adjustment necessary; clockwise to
raise the Bender Bar’s position within the Head and
counter-clockwise to lower the Bender Bar’s position.
Replace the Bracket Assembly on the G8 making
sure to align its Locating Pins with the holes in the
Bonnet Assembly (G20000A). Manually turn the
Large Feed Gear (G20110A) if its teeth are not
aligned with those on the Feed Rack (G20127).
Replace the Screws.
