VI. TOOL MAINTENANCE
A. Cleaning and Lubricating
It is important to clean and visually inspect the bearings for flat spots at least every 8 hours of operation and more if the
need arises. Likewise, clean the wheels for ease of motion and clean bearings if wheels do not turn freely. Visually inspect
the wheels for chips or cracks. Wipe away any accumulated dirt and grit.
After cleaning, lubricate the wheels and bearings with a light to medium weight machine oil.
The wheel assembly should be replaced if you notice any chips or cracks in the wheels, or if flat spots occur in the
bearings. Mate Roller Solution tooling is not resharpenable.
VII. MACHINE SPECIFICS AND PROGRAMMING
SETTING THE TOOL DATA IN THE CONTROL
A. Parameters
The tool settings in the General tool data screen are as follows
Tool length = 38
Tool type = 29 (Rolling Shear)
= 30 (Rolling Pincher)
= 31 (Forming / Rolling Offset)
= 32 (Beading / Rolling Rib)
Stripper type = No stripper
Opt Form HT / VU value = -1
B. Tool Length Adjustment
1. All tool length adjustment is done via the punch technology table (PTT) for the specific tool.
2. The tips of the Rolling Pincher must never touch. Final stroke adjustment with this tool is critical. Approximately
0.1mm of material should remain for the best results.
3. Two passes are recommended for the Rolling Pincher. On materials thicker than 1.2mm multiple passes must be
used. For example, when using the Rolling Pincher on 2.0mm mild steel: The first pass should pinch .95mm, the
second pass should pinch an additional .95mm, total material pinched = 1.9mm.
