MODEL 16-24
The hand operated Di-Acro Press Brake is a compact, versatile forming machine that is equally useful in the experimental shop or on the production line. As on all machines, performance of the Di-Acro Press Brake is only as good as the care given it by the operator in following the manufacturers recommendations. The recommendations made in this folder are designed not only as a proper aid in correct set-up procedure, but also as a guide for this precision machines day in, day out operation. MOUNTING THE DI-ACRO PRESS BRAKE Compact design of the hand operated Di-Acro Press Brake enables it to be easily moved from one department to another mounted on a work table or bench and set up for operation. IMPORTANT: When mounting Press Brake, care should be exercised to keep side frame from twisting or becoming misaligned. If work table or bench is warped or otherwise distorted, it will create uneven pressure along the Press Brake base causing the frame to twist out of shape and ruin the bearings.
LUBRICATION Using medium weight machine oil, periodically lubricate the ram guides through the oil cups or the front of the ram. Oil holes are also provided on all moving parts throughout the machine and should be oiled periodically.
ADJUSTING PRESS BRAKE DIES

ADJUSTING PRESS BRAKE DIES Lower die on the Di-Acro Press Brake can be adjusted both up and down and in and out to obtain exact alignment of dies. TO LINE UP DIES 1. Lower Operating Handle as far as it will go so upper die is at the bottom of its down stroke. This is important because maximum forming power cannot be obtained until Cam Shaft reaches the bottom of its cycle. Also, Ratchet Drive will not automatically disengage until Operating Handle is at the bottom of its down stroke. 2. Set proper height of lower die by loosening bolts A and adjusting bed support bolts B. 3. Center upper and lower dies by adjusting set screws C located along the entire width of die bed.

Pressures underlined are for die with female openings approximately 8 x metal thickness, with radius on male die equal to metal thickness, and are considered ideal for right angle bending. Bending pressures required for other metals as compared to 60,000 PSI tensile mild steel on chart: Soft Brass 50% of pressure listed Stainless Steel 50% more than steel Soft Alluminum 50% of pressure listed Chrome Molybdenum 100% more thatn steel Aluminum Alloys (heat treated) Same as Steel
OPERATION
HAND PRESS BRAKE - OPERATION For average operations, the lever operated roller bearing cam will provide adequate power. For forming heavier gauges up to 8 tons pressure can be developed by use of ratchet drive.
1. With die set in place, set the material stops by use of adjustomatic handle (figure 1).
Figure 1
2. Pull handle down until desired bend is reached (figure 2). 3. To use the power multiplying ratchet, bring the male die down in contact with the material, using the regular handle. Figure 2
4. Using the ratchet handle, bring ram down until desire bend is reached (figure 3). NOTE: When ratchet handle is used, the holding pawl automatically holds the ratchet wheel until released. To release the holding pawl, the ratchet handle must be pushed all the way back. Figure 3 5
