EM-506 (N-07/03) 9-11
This gage is usually shipped assembled to the machine.
If not, remove the major components from the crates and
clean.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the gage or make
electrical connections until a Service
Representative of CINCINNATI
INCORPORATED is present.
Install the backgage drive assembly to the rear dovetail
slots of the press brake bed. Install the gage bar to R-axis
arm assemblies. Center the gage bar between the
housings by sliding the backgage drive assembly along
the bed. Install the support leg to the backgage drive
assembly. Level backgage drive assembly guide rails
front-to-back by adjusting gage support leveling foot.
After start-up of the machine, the X-axis gage finger
position and control readout should be checked. When
the control displays 3.000” (76.2mm), the front edge of
the fingers are 3.000” (76.2mm) ± .001” (.025mm) from
the centerline of the ram die slot. Check in front of both
R-axis housings. If a parallel adjustment is required,
loosen the four screws bolting the X-axis carriage to the
ballnut. If a skewed adjustment is required, also loosen
the six screws bolting the X-axis carriage.
Remove covers as required to get access to carriage
drive bolts. Position the gage finger against the 3.000”
gage block as shown in Figure 9-23. Holding this
position, retighten carriage drive bolts. Replace covers.
CNC HEAVY DUTY BACKGAGE
(OPTIONAL)
This backgage consists of two gage fingers attached to a
gage bar positioned by two drive assemblies. The drive
assemblies can be programmed and positioned in two
directions: X = front-to-back, R = up and down. Each
axis is powered by a DC motor/ballscrew drive. Only
“X” is powered as standard. See Figure 9-19.
Each of the major backgage components (the gage drive
assemblies and gage bar) may have been removed from
the machine at the factory and shipped in their own
containers. Remove these items from their containers
and clean.
FIGURE 9-19 CNC Heavy Duty Backgage
Install the backgage drive assemblies to the rear dovetail
slots in the bed as shown in Figure 9-19. Install the gage
bar to the R-axis arm assemblies. It may be necessary to
move the backgage drive assemblies in the dovetail slots
to attach the gage bar. Center the gage bar between the
housings by sliding the right hand drive assembly along
the bed. Position the drive assemblies as shown in Figure
9-20. The left hand drive assembly should be positioned
such that the 1-1/4” (31.8mm) diameter hole in the gage
bar is centered over the 3/4” (19mm) diameter shoulder
screws on the pivot arm.
