Two-Hand Controls can be used as safeguarding
devices in the single stoke mode of operation on part revolution
clutch presses. Similar to the two-hand
trip, this device keeps the operators hands away from the point of
operation during the entire machine stroke.
How
Does It Work? |
Two-hand control, as a point of operation
safeguarding device for press brakes, is ideal for short-run
job-shop operations. Piece parts can vary from quite small to very
large.
STEP 1 |
By depressing the control buttons, the
operator initiates the press brake stroke.
|
STEP 3 |
In the sequence mode, the slide will
automatically stop at a preset position 1/4" or
less above the work piece. This position is
adjustable for different feed-line heights or material
thickness.
|
STEP 4 |
If the work piece is not already placed in the
die, it may be inserted at this time.
|
STEP 5 |
The two-hand control or the foot switch is now
re-initiated, causing the slide to continue through the
bottom of the stroke and finishing at top dead center (TDC).
