8. Accessory Units 8.1 Adjusting Die Height and Die Clamping Force 8.1.1 Goneral Descriptions Die height is adjusted by the die height adjust ploying @ hydraulic motor. When the DIE HEIGHT ADJ, selector sitch is set to “AUTO", die clamping force is regulated automaticaly. When the same switch is set to "MAN", manual operation is possible by means of ‘selector pushbutton switches for continuous and inching operations. ‘This paragraph describes the adjusting procedures when the DIE HEIGHT ADM. ssolactor switch is set to "MAN" 8:12 Specifications of Die Height Adjusting Unit (1). Die height adjusting speed: 50 ~150 mm/min. (2) Hydraulic motor: ME4100~C 81.3 Interlock Die height can be adjusted only when al conditions given below are satisfied.
