So this is our ARK-125 bending table
At this point,
I've got 4 heat trays
so I have the option to heat 4 different
areas of my plastic
and because it's top and bottom I'm heating them on both sides
which reduces my production time
the amount of time that I need to heat it. On this particular one, I've only got one
tray, I only want to make one bend, so
I've only heated one tray
but I want to heat it right about here so
I'm going to move my stop bar into position
and I've got measurements on both sides so that it's equal
and the air is already hooked up that's why the top is raised.
As soon as I hook the air up, it raises the top
and this is pneumatic
so over here I've got my controls so
temperature control is down here, I've got 4 controls, 1 for each
right now I only have one on
and I've already done one bend so I know 8 is a good heat setting for the bend
that i want to do.
Over here I've got my controls, now this will give me the timing.
I've got it set for twenty seconds
so
I've already given the tray time to heat
I'm going to set my plastic
and I'm going to push my foot
controls to bring the top down
and it's going to go for twenty seconds
then it will sound an alarm
to warn you to get out of the way and it will raise up.
Now I'm ready to make my bend.
That wasn't long enough.
Bad example but... there we go
now I can either do it
manually or we can put it in our fixture tray which is a better way to do it.
That way we know we're getting the exact angle that we want. So that's it, that's the example
