However, die surfaces on Cin- citnati Press Brakes extend beyond the housings, so the actual working surface is greater than the rated length, ‘When working between the housings, you can form any size of flange. If you use the overall die surface, the flange width is limited by the depth of the throat, Therefore, the lonsth of the die surface is decided by the length of the work and the width of flange bent Comer A standard bend has an inside radius roughly’ equal to the thickness of the material, Any variation fron this standatd inside radius will change your brake capacity requirements, The effective dic ‘opening controls the inside radius. Ree ‘The thickness rating of a press brake can vary, For example, a brake rated for Sin” can handle %” plate over wider dies to a larger radius of bend. Multiple bends in light gauges may require more capacity than single bends in heavy gauges, Orc id See page 4 for the effect of material on pressure required and bending behavior. Poe oma) While tonnage is sometimes used to express ca- pacity, this gives only half the story, because fly= Wheel energy is needed to exert the necessary pres: sure throughout the entire working stroke. That's why Cincinnati Press Brakes are rated in terms of work: metal thickness of a given Jengtt over a tiven vee die. This rating method includes both tonnage and flywheel energy.

Instead of being mounted to the side of the housings, the pitmans which drive the ram straddle the housings, as shown above. Also, the housings directly sup- port the bed. The operating forces, therefore, are contained within the housings, Weaving of the frame and ‘eramping of the ram slides. guides and shaft bearings are eliminated Since there are no overhung or e- centric loads to be supported, the Centerline Loading principle makes it possible to concentrate most of the ‘weight of a Cincinnati Press Brake di rectly in the four main members, where it belongs.

It is also useful for fadeout work. This device permits tilting the ram without cramping the guide bearings. Dual indicators read ing in thousandths of an inch are provided for fast, accurate adjustment. They show the amount of adjustment and the amount of tilt, and make it easy to retum the ram parallel to the bed. You ean quickly reproduce any previous job without trial by resetting the adjustment to the indicator reading used previously. Ram adjustment is made with an individual mo- tor furnished as standard equipment. As a safety precaution, a double-acting limit switch is used that will stop the motor without injury if the ram is raised to the top before the swith is thrown out, The switch also limits the downward adjustment of the ram, Swivel End-Guide Bearings Cincinnati swivel end-guide bearings are another exclusive Cincinnati refinement whieh insures ac curacy. Two Inege bronze shoes ave built ito dhe right hand ram slide and maintain accurate end- wise alignment whether the ram is parallel to the bed or tilted. They eliminate all cramping or scor- ing when tilting the ram either up or down, Since the ram slide is free to rotate about the bronze shoes, accurate end-wise alignment is maintained while the ram is tilted. It is not necessary to loosen, any bolts in order to tit the ram. On a Cincinnati, the ram and slide are positively secured to each other by dowels 1718 MACHINERY ExeWANeR Deep Throats Deep throats, ranging from 8" to 14", are standard Cincinnati features. Extra- Geep throats are available forthe bend- ing of exceptionally wide parts, Accurate Rams Cincinnati rams are accurately ma- chined on their working surface, and are fitted with die clamping bars in 24° sections and serews on 12" centers for holding short dies. The positive lock die clamp prevents dies from pulling out ‘under stripping loads. Springs behind the die clamps make it easy for the op- erator to insert the dies. When required for horizontal strength, Cincinnati rams are equipped with an H beam stiffener. This stiflene: also provides adjustment for maintain- ing the very accurate alignment of the Maximum Cle nce ‘The Cincinnati Press Brakes have max- imum work clearance at the rear for material handling and workmen as wel ‘All shafts are over six feet from the floor. Where more than one operation i required the work can be passed front. to back, avoiding the inconvenience cf ‘turning it end for end. Cincinnati standard bed heights are 32” and 34°, the proper height for comfortable working. www.SterlingMachinery.comAutomatic Lubrication = Adequate oiling is assured by an automatic, sight feed, pressure lubricating system that can be ad- justed and serviced from the floor. The reduction, gears, worm and worm wheel of the ram adjusting mechanism run in a bath of oil, Oil is supplied under pressure to the main bearings, eccentric bear ings, and slides and guides. Disc Type Clutch ‘The Cincinnati clutch is of the dise type and is es- pecially designed for press brake work. It is readily accessible, simple to adjust, and exceptionally easy to operate. The clutch is highly efficent and is capable of picking up overloads from a standing start, using very low unit pressures, It is designed for casy control at full ram speed or for frequent starting and stopping. An efficient friction brake automatically stops the ram upon release of the clutch at any point of the stroke, Large Capacity Flywheel Cincinnati flywheels have unusually large eapacity for bending heavy plate, and can perform any maxi- mum rated bend without assistance from the motor. ‘The flywheel is mounted on heavy-duty antifric- tion bearings. No stalling will occur under normal operating conditions due to sound design of the clutch and the powerful drive. However, if through aceident ‘or neglecta stall at the bottom of the stroke should ‘cour, itis only necessary to set the clutch properly, reverse the motor with the reversing switch, and back out, Convenient Controls Operation of Cincinnati Press Brakes can be either bby hand lever, foot treadle, or air-eleetric control, ‘The hexagonal treadle shaft, provided on machines through the Series 34 for manual operation, is, ‘mounted on anti-friction bearings, greatly reducing operator fatigue. The treadle can be placed at any point on the shaft, STANDARD FEATURI Installation ple. Small machines are shipped assembled on skids, Large machines are shipped as four main units, with the driving: mechanisms completely assombled on the housings. It is only necessary to place the housings on their founda- tions and attach the cross-members and drive shaft. Self-aligning features are incorporated so that the brake will go together in the customer's shop ex- acy as it was assombled on the factory flor, The Jow overall height simplifies handling and installa~ tion of machine where head room is limited. wecuneer exerasee ~www.SterlingMachinery.com isUniversal filler block with foursway dic, Flat top filler block with straight slot, shown with special forming dies.

Tonnage Indicators are fur- nished. as standard equipment on 36, 40, 50 and 75 Series machines Overload Clutch Release ‘Automatic overload release ean be fur nished to disengage the elute and stop the Brake at any selected overload. This is furnished as standard equipment on 40, 50 and 75 Series machines. Stroke Stop Machines having this feature may be inched to the bottom of the stroke, at ‘which point the ram automatically re- turns to the top of the stroke and stops. ‘The operator is thus free to handle a other workpiece, increasing his production. Two Speeds The Cincinnati Two-Speed ‘Transmis- sion gives a slow speed for special work jin addition to normal top speed for regular production. Standard ratio is 4:1. Special speeds, variable speeds, and multi-speeds can be furnished. ‘Two-Speed Transmission is furnished as standard equipment on 36, AF, 1d 75 Series machines. ww.SterlingMachinery.comExtended Beds and Rams Beds and rams can be extended at both ends or at one end only for closing or “horning” operations. Extensions at both ends of the machine provide really increased die surface. SPECIAL FEATURES Air-Electric Clutch Control An electrically controlled, air operated clutch can be furnished instead of ‘manual control. ‘The electrical control is arranged for “inch” and “run” with automatic stop at the top of the stroke and non-repeat protection, ‘With the selector on “inch,” the ram ‘can be inched or jogged throughout the stroke or run as long as the buttons are held depressed. With the selector on “run,” the ram can be inched to the bottom of the stroke; then it will auto- ‘matically return (o the top of the stroke and stop.

At the bottom of the stroke, the ram is once agsin shifted back into ‘high speed for the completion of the eyele. ‘All speed changes are smooth, positive and instan- taneous. Standard high speed is 35 strokes per minute ‘and standard low speed is 5.8 strokes per minute fon 4 and 5 Series machines. Standard high speed i 33 strokes per minute and standard low speed is 7 strokes per minute on 7 and 9 Series machines. Stand tard high and low speeds on 12 and 13 Series mi chines are 30 and 64 strokes per minute respectively. ‘This productive feature eliminates the “whip-up” and “back bending” which occur when fong flexible parts are formed at high speed. It is no longer neces- ‘ary to “slip the clutch” and rely completely on the press brake operator's skill for parts that are free of “back bends." The Cincinnati® Automatic Cycle gives ‘you increased production and eliminates spoiled work. ‘This optional feature is available at extra cost on 4 and 5 Series Cincinnati Press Brakes (100 and 135 tons bending capacity, respectively), on 7 and 9 Series Cincinnati Press Brakes (175 and 225 tons bending Press Brakes ( spectively). creer This 5 series x 10 ft.

With the controt panel selector turned to one of the “Auto” settings, the mac vill shift between high and low speeds automatically on each stroke. ‘The AUTO INCH position lets the machine operate on automatic cycle while the foot switch is depressed. ‘The ram stops when the foot switch is released. "The AUTO RETURN position differs from the “Auto Inch” in that if the foot switeh is released between bottom and top ‘of relurn stroke, the machine continues through the stroke and stops at the top of the stroke. ‘The AUTO NON-REPEAT position provides the same op- eration as “Auto Return” except the machine will automati- cally stop at the top of the stroke independent of the foot switch, To re-eyele, the foot switch is released and the machine goes through the cycle when the foot switch is engaged. INCH LOW and INCH HIGH positions allow the ram to be inched through the entire stroke, in low or high speed re- spectively. ‘The OFF position makes the machine inoperative. 7 AND 9 SERIES CON- TROL SELECTOR THE SIX-POSITION CON- ‘TROL SELECTOR is ex- tremely simple to operate, fand allows six different types of operation. When the selector is tuned to SHORT DWELL, MED- TUM DWELL or LONG DWELL, the Press Brake will operate as described ‘above, That is, the ram is shifted into low speed for the working portion of its stroke. The difference between these three control selections is the length of stroke the ram remains in low speed; we call this the WELL. The ram positions at which the speed changes occur ccan easily be adjusted to suit individual jobs. ‘When the control selector is turned to the HIGH position, the ram may be jogged to bottom dead center in high speed; beyond this point it automatically returns to the top of its stroke in high w IK posi- 3 allow the ire stroke, ‘Ny eenser www.Sterli Here's How It Works The ram runs down in high speed, uit just above work.
