Operation
The universal device is used for
•
cutting,
•
folding and
•
bending
of sheet metals. When the lever on the universal device is actuated, 3 simultaneous motions are
performed at different locations. Always clamp the motion lever, this would avoid the
displacement of the lever which is not used during the working process.
WARNING!
Observe that during the work with the universal device the operation of one lever always
actuates the compaction roller for bending, the folding bar and the shear blade.
Always inform anyone who stays in the danger zone of the universal device or helps you
with your work on the universal device about this event.
Wear safety gloves, since sheet metals always have sharp edges or a cutting ridge.
Wear safety boots.
3.1
Bending
By bending or rolling, sheet metal can be shaped to semicircles or tubes. The 2 front rolls (feed
rolls) serve to adjust the thickness of the sheet metal, in order to move the sheet metal by
adhesion to the rolls onto the rear roll. The rear roll (pay-off roll) is used to adjust the arc of the
circle which the metal sheet is supposed to receive when it passes this roll. Bend large or thick
metal sheets stepwise until the required diameter is reached, the adhesive friction on the motion
roll is not sufficient to shape thick metal sheets in one working step. Please also observe in this
context that the metal sheet is to be free of dirt, grease or other coating which could hinder the
adhesive friction.
3.2
Folding
In this working step (folding), metal sheets are being bent. Folding up to 90° can be performed.
When working with metal sheets with tenacious material properties "resilience" will occur.
Folding to exactly 90° is not possible or has to be carried out manually by "overbending". If
metal sheets which have already been shaped are folded, single folding segments can be
dismanteled. The free space which originates thereof, amounts to a height of 80mm. For the
length of the single segments, please refer to the technical data sheet.

3.3
Cutting
Cutting or shearing off is performed by a fixed bottom knife and a mobile top knife. The top knife
is being moved downwards and the cut is performed from the right to the left.
3.4
Maintenance
The type and extent of wear depends to great extent on the individual conditions of operation
and running.
