Quick Fit Board Clamp Foil Replacement

WARNING

BOARD CLAMPS. EXTREME CARE MUST BE EXERCISED WHEN

WORKING IN THE TOOLING AREA OF THE MACHINE TO AVOID

INJURY. THE FOILS ON THE FRONT AND REAR BOARD CLAMPS

ARE VERY SHARP.

1. Remove screws C and lift off the board clamp (see Note 1). Retain the two

screws.

2. Remove the eight M2.5 x 6mm pan headed slotted screws securing the foil

to the board clamp. Discard the foil and retain the eight screws.

3. Fit the new foil with the screws removed in Step 2.

4. Place the board clamp with new foil into it’s original position.

5. Slide the board clamp in the direction of arrow A for the rear board clamp

and arrow B for the front board clamp. This ensures the board clamp butts

up against the outside face of the board clamp mounting plate.

6. Secure the board clamp with the screws removed in Step 1.

NOTE

1. Due to build tolerances the board clamps must be refitted to the same

position.

2. The board clamp setting up procedure is not required after board clamp

foil replacement.

Snugger Clamp

Setting

(Parallelism)

The adjustable snugger plate, rear rail guide and fixed snugger plate are all

interchangeable with similar units to facilitate differences in board thicknesses

(0.8mm, 1.0mm and 1.6mm).

The following checks and adjustment settings for the snugger clamp is applica-

ble to all three size configurations.

The procedure for setting up snugger parallelism is as follows:

1. Using a 0.10mm feeler gauge check that the gap between the fixed snugger

plate and transport belt guide is set between 0.10mm - 0.15mm. Ensure that

parallelism is achieved along the full length of the snugger plate.

2. If adjustment is necessary. Slacken fixed snugger plate securing screws (3

in number) and adjust.

3. Using a vernier gauge measure the distance between the fixed snugger plate

and rear rail guide, gently move the rear rail forward until a gap of 250mm

±0.1mm is achieved. Ensure that parallelism is maintained along the full

length.

4. If adjustment is necessary. Slacken rear rail guide securing screws (3 in

number) and adjust.

5. Ensure that parallelism is achieved along the rear rail guide and adjustable

snugger plate. This is achieved by using a vernier gauge and checking that

the rear rail guide/adjustable snugger plate is the same distance to the front

snugger plate. Adjust the two stop mount bolts to move the snugger plate if

required.

Snugger Clamp

Setting (Height)

The procedure for setting up the snugger height is as follows:

1. Before setting snugger height, check the rail to table height (Rising Table

Chapter).

2. Place a straight edge on the top surface of the rear rail guide (Position A1 on

figure below refers). Using a depth gauge indicator measure the distance

from the top of the rising table to the top of the rear rail guide.

3. Carry out same operation at Position A2.

4. Check that the dimensions in Steps 2 and 3 are the same (to within 0.2mm).

If necessary adjust by slackening snugger support bracket securing screws.

Do not fully re-tighten screws at this point.

5. Carry out identical checks at other end of adjustable snugger plate (Position

B1 and B2). On completion of check/adjustments fully re-tighten bracket

securing screws.

NOTE

If adjustments are made ensure that a gap of 250mm is maintained as laid

out in Parallelism setting up.

6. On completion of setting up ensure that the board is free to move along the

transport rail without jamming.

7. Pneumatically operate the snugger clamp with a board fitted. Ensure that the

board is gripped evenly along its entire length.
