Squaring the Y-axis beam


Two pins (ref. G and H) are fitted on the right-hand side of the base to be used to reposition the Y-
axis beam perfectly square with respect to the work table.
To square the Y-beam proceed as follows:

1. Move the operating section to the right-hand side of the machine in proximity of the pins G and
H.

2. Position a comparator with a magnetic base on the main electrospindle of the operating
section.

2 Installing the machine

3. Move the operating section in proximity of the pin marked with the value 0 (zero) and reset the
comparator.
The operating section can more easily be moved by using a crank (ref. L) on the Y-axis pulley.

4. Move the operating section in proximity of the second pin.

5. Position the comparator so that it is in contact with the second pin and check the value.
The operating unit is perfectly square when the difference measured equals the value
indicated (ref. M).
To reach this value, use the adjusting lockscrew of the square (ref. F on page 44).

6. Fix the Y-axis beam with the screws N.

7. Again check squaring to ensure that fixing of the Y-axis beam has not caused the operating
section to shift.

5. Operate the gun to make the chemical


anchoring compound flow out until a mixture
of a uniform grey colour appears.

6. Inject the chemical anchoring compound


into the anchoring hole (about half full).

7. Before the compound hardens, insert the


threaded bar into the hole, turning it.
The threaded bars used to anchor the
rear part of the machine must not jut out
max 30mm

more than 30mm so that they do not


interfere with the moving X-axis carriage.

8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each anchoring


hole.

9. Wait as long as necessary for the chemical


anchoring compound to set (see table on
page 96)

2.38 Installation of the loading/unloading pallet


Machine Models involved Page
NBC412/512 all -

1. Position the loading/unloading pallet and assemble the intermediate unloading surface A that
connects the pallet with the work table of the machine. Pull the screw B without moving the
screws C (pre-adjusted by Biesse), and rest the feet D on the base of the machine.

2. Position the intermediate unloading surface A as near as possible to the work table: maintain a
maximum distance of 10mm.

3. Align the rear guide F of the intermediate unloading surface and the front pusher E of the
unloading pallet G with the rear stop of the work table.
Check that the front pusher G is at least 3mm further back compared with the rear guide E of
the intermediate unloading surface.

4. Use the feet A of the loading/unloading pallet (resting on the base of the machine) to regulate
the intermediate unloading surface B, bringing it 3 or 4 millimetres lower than the butt pieceC
used. This position is necessary in order to manage the unloading of pieces with the minimum
thickness (9.5mm). The intermediate unloading surface can be positioned at a higher position
only when working pieces of a greater thickness: for example, for pieces with a thickness of
not less than 16mm, the position can increase by 6mm, up to 9mm, allowing a greater number
of levelling out operations on the butt piece.
This adjustment prevents the bar of the pushing device D from passing above the worked
pieces during the unloading phase, without managing to move them to the intermediate
surface.

5. Regulate the loader/unloader (see the appropriate paragraph in the Machine User Manual).

6. Fix the tube guide casing A to the chain holder B with the relative brackets C. Connect the
vacuum tube D to the valve behind the X carriage, and the connector E to the tube of the
vacuum system tank.

7. Check that the bar with the roller stops A is positioned as far back as possible.
Carry out a piece loading cycle and check that the rear edgebanding strip of the piece is
perfectly aligned with the rear stop of the work table.

8. Check there is a distance of 1 or 2 millimetres between the rear edgebanding strip of the piece
and the stop. If this is not the case, loosen the screws B and act on the bar A until you obtain
the desired position.
9. Position the three rear fixed stops C (see the layout in the Machine User Manual), assemble
the tilting stop D and make the pneumatic and electrical connections of the tilter cylinders.
Check there is a distance of 5mm between the tilting stop D and the roller stop E. Fix the three
fixed stops C to the ground.

10. Check that the lower side of the roller stops does not go beyond the lower side of the first
piece; there must be a distance of about 2mm between the two sides.

11. Check also that the X stop (ref. A) is positioned 2-3mm lower than the lower side of the first
piece.

12. Open the button panel of the loading/unloading pallet, fix the rear box to the safety fence, then
close the push-button panel.
