BULLDOG 65 Hydraulic Steelworker
13
1. Example:
You are going to work with a material of 10mm (
3/8
’’) thickness on a BULLDOG 65 machine.
The max. hole size is then calculated by:
420 / 10 = 42 [mm]
⇒
The max. hole size is 42mm (1
5/8
’’).
2. Example:
Your punch / die diameter is 26mm (1’’).
The max. material thickness you can punch is calculated by:
420 / 26 = 15,4 [mm]
⇒
The max. material thickness is 15mm (
3/5
’’).
This system will proably prove to be convenient because when the machine capacity constant
has been memorised, no tables or graphs are required to establish max. diameters through a
known thickness of meterial.
Please Note:
DANGEROUS PRACTICE:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUNCH MATERIAL
THICKER THAN THE PUNCH DIAMETER!

IMPORTANT NOTICE - HEALTH & SAFETY AT WORK ACT, SECTION 6
Bending tools must not be fitted to this machine until adequate safety measures have been
implemented. It is normally permitted to use the bending tools without additional fixed
guarding provided the following steps have been taken:
1.
The clearance between the top tool and the work piece is kept to a minimum and must not
exceed 6mm at any time.
2.
The bending tool is set by a skilled and competent person.
3.
A lockable cover has been fitted to prevent unauthorised alteration of limit switch.
The key should be retained by the setter.
Bending Tools are supplied with suitable cover and lock as standard.
