SAFETY GUARDS ARE MOUNTED TO BOTH SIDES OF THE MACHINE. GUARDS
MUST BE KEPT IN PLACE AT ALL TIMES TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF
THE OPERATOR COMING INTO CONTACT WITH MOVING MACHINERY MEMBERS.
THE GUARDS PIVOT OUT FOR MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENT AND ARE
FABRICATED FROM EXPANDED METAL TO PERMIT VISUAL OBSERVATION OF
STOCK NOW.

THE CLAMPING ANVILS IN BOTH THE GRIPPER & RETAINER ASSEMBLIES
ARE MADE FROM HARDENED STEEL AND ARE SERRATED.

THE STOCK WILL BE GRIPPED ON ONE SIDE AND CARRIED FORWARD INTO
THE DIE. AN AIR OPERATED RETAINER HOLDS THE STOCK SECURELY IN
POSITION WHILE THE GRIPPER HEAD IS ON THE RETURN STROKE.
INTERLOCKING ACTUATION OF THE GRIPPER AND RETAINER IS PERFORMED
BY A PRESSURE SEQUENCE VALVE TO INSURE CONSISTENT FEEDING. THE
GRIPPER IS CUSHIONED AT EACH END BY AN AIR CHECK ASSEMBLY.

HEAVY DUTY RIGHT ANGLE STROKE LENGTH ADJUSTMENT ASSEMBLY:
THE STROKE LENGTH IS INFINITELY ADJUSTABLE FROM 0 TO 6-5/8.
A RIGHT ANGLE BEVEL GEAR STROKE LENGTH ADJUSTMENT HANDWHEEL
IS POSITIONED OPPOSITETHE MATERIAL TO PREVENT HAND CONTACT
WITH SHARP EDGE OF STOCK. THE HANDWHEEL IS COUPLED TO A LARGE
DIAMETER STROKE ADJUSTMENT SCREW WITH HARDENED END STOP. A
HEAVY DUTY CLAMP BLOCK IS USED TO LOCK THE STROKE ADJUSTMENT
SCREW AT THE DESIRE LENGTH.

AN OVERSIZED CYLINDER PISTON ROLL WITH DUAL ESNA LOCK-NUTS
PROVIDES FIRM GRIPPER TO CYLINDER CONNECTION. THE OVERSIZED
CYLINDER PISTON ROD ALSO INCREASES GRIPPER RETURN STROKE
SPEED. GUIDE BAR END RETAINER PLATES LOCK THE GUIDE BARS IN
POSITION.

THE STOCK IS GUIDED ALONG ITS EDGE AGAINST HARDENED EDGE GUIDES
MOUNTED AT BOTH ENTRY AND EXIT ENDS OF THE FEED.

ROLLER WHEELS SUPPORT THE STOCK FOR ITS LENGTH AND WIDTH IN
THE FEED TO PREVENT SAGGING OF THIN MATERIAL.

FILTER, REGULATOR, LUBRICATOR WITH QUICK DUMP AND INTEGRAL
SAFETY AIR LOCKOUT VALVES:
A FILTER, REGULATOR AND LUBRICATOR WITH QUICK DUMP IS SUPPLIED
TO CONDITION THE AIR FEEDS INPUT AIR SUPPLY. THE QUICK DUMP
AUTOMATICALLY RELEASES WATER AND CONTAINMENTS WHEN AN EXCESS
LEVEL IS REACHED. THE SAFETY AIR LOCKOUT VALVE EXHAUSTS COM-
PRESSED AIR ON THE AIR FEED SYSTEM WHEN SHIFTED TO IT CLOSED
POSITION. THE VALVE MAY BE LOCKED IN CLOSED POSITION WITH A
CUSTOMER SUPPLIED PAD LOCK.

MOUNTING BRACKET WITH OUTBOARD SUPPORT:
THE AIR FEED IS MOUNTED TO THE PRESS TO MEANS OF A RIGID ANGLE
BRACKET, ATTACHED TO THE SIDE OR CAN BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY ON

HEAVY DUTY H-TYPE SUPPORT LEG.

PILOT PIN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT:
THIS UNIT HAS ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND IS CYCLED FROM A LIMIT
SWITCH (SUPPLIED WITH FEED) MOUNTED ON THE PRESS SO AS TO BE

IS TRIPPED IT ENERGIZES A SOLENOID VALVE WHICH IN TURN CYCLES
THE FEED.

PROVISION IS MADE IN THE ELECTRICAL CONTROLS TO PERMIT THE
FEED TO BE USED WITH DIES HAVING PILOT PINS OR DIES NOT HAVING
PILOT PINS. THE CHOICE IS THROUGH A SELECTOR SWITCH FOR
OPERATOR CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY, THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT IS
OUTBOARD MOUNTED TO ELIMINATE THE OPERATOR HAVING TO REACH
ACROSS THE FEED BED.
