MACHINE CALIBRATION- ONE SHEAR

 

IF THE MACHINE HAS A TORCH OR A STENCIL, DISABLE IN THE MACHINE SETUP AND MOVE THE UNIT SO IT IS OUT OF THE WAY OF THE MATERIAL AND THE XPROBE.

 

IF THE MACHINE HAS OUTFEED DUMP CONVEYORS, DISABLE IN THE MACHINE SETUP.

 

1.  CALIBRATE INFEED CONVEYOR LENGTH

 

            Measure angle stock that is on the infeed conveyor with tape measure.  Start to run a part and let the machine measure the stock. Note the actual length of stock. Highlight Q and hit ESC key to return to parts list.

            If  the actual length is shorter than the length measured with tape measure, increase the LEN, LEN_OFF, CONVEYLEN constant by that amount.

            If the actual length is longer than the length measured with tape measure, decrease the LEN, LEN_OFF, CONVEYLEN constant by that amount.

 

2.  CALIBRATE SHEAR FRAME OFFSET

 

            Make sure that the LEN, LEN_OFF, ZEROEYE constant is at zero (blank).

            Use a piece of stock with front end already sheared square.  Create a test part 6” long and no holes or marks in either leg.  Run the part using a 1/2” trim cut.  Adjust the CUT, CUT_OFF, FRMOFF constant so the trim cut is actually 1/2”.

                        Increase constant if trim cut is too short.

                        Decrease constant if trim cut is too long.

 

3.  CALIBRATE WEB FRAME OFFSET & GAUGE

 

            Add a mark on the WEB leg 1” from end and any appropriate gauge.  Run the part still using a 1/2” trim cut.  Adjust the WEB, WEB_OFF, FRAMEOFF constant so mark is actually 1” from the end after the trim cut.

                        Increase constant if mark is shorter than 1”.

                        Decrease constant if mark is longer than 1”.

            If the gauge is not correct, adjust the WEB, WEB_VALVE, INITVAL constant so it is correct.

                        Increase constant if gauge of mark is larger than programmed gauge.

                        Decrease constant if gauge of mark is smaller than programmed gauge.

4.  CALIBRATE TF FRAME OFFSET & GAUGE

 

            Add a mark on the TF leg 1” from end and any appropriate gauge.  Run the part still using a 1/2” trim cut.  Adjust the TF, TF_OFF, FRAMEOFF constant so mark is actually 1” from the end after the trim cut.

                        Increase constant if mark is shorter than 1”.

                        Decrease constant if mark is longer than 1”.

            If the gauge is not correct, adjust the TF, TF_VALVE, INITVAL constant so it is correct.                    Increase constant if gauge of mark is larger than programmed gauge.

                        Decrease constant if gauge of mark is smaller than programmed gauge.
