Safety must be a primary concern. When operating or performing maintenance procedures,

follow all standard safety guidelines. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or any articles that may

be pulled into any moving parts.

Be sure that when operating the equipment, all safety devices operate properly. Never under

any circumstances disable, remove, or alter the original configuration of the safety system.

Should any component of the safety system become inoperable, immediately discontinue

operation, and notify a supervisor.

! NEVER place fingers, hands, or any other body part in or under the ram area

or other moving mechanisms.

! Proper eye protection must be worn at all times when operating the machine.

! Always insure that the machine is turned OFF before changing the tooling.

Read and understand this manual prior to operating the machine.

The area around the Piranha 95 Press Brake should be well lighted, dry, and free of

obstacles.

The Piranha 95 Press Brake is designed for single person operation only.

Always insure that all tooling is properly secured in position before starting any operation.

When servicing the machine always practice standard lockout/tag-out procedures to avoid

personal injury.

NOTE: The Run/Program keyswitch provides security for choosing initiation means and

operation modes that can be supervised by the user, in accordance with ANSI B11.3 standards.

The Generation II control system also provides a Footswitch Control Module. Removing the

Footswitch Control Module can provide an extra level of lockout security for initiation means,

if your plant safety program deems a level is needed beyond the Run/Program keyswitch.

Without the Footswitch Control Module in place, Foot or Foot/Foot initiation means will not

operate even if chosen using the Run/Program keyswitch.

When installing a Piranha “Plug -n- Play” light curtain assembly, the light curtain connector

will replace the Footswitch Control Module.

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

Tooling Installation Safety

Tool setting is a very important job. Safety of the operator, press brake and the tooling is

involved. To properly prepare for the job, the tool setter should have a good working

knowledge of press brakes, tools and materials. The person should also have been

instructed in the use of tool trucks and other handling equipment. The person must also

understand the importance of proper tool adjustment.

Aside from the technical knowledge the setter must develop a sense of personal safety

awareness. It is not only important that tools are correctly installed in the proper size of

equipment; the task must be accomplished in an organized and safe manner to complete

the job.

The following steps offer a precautionary guide in the development for safe tooling

installation procedures.

1. Immediately report any questionable operation, unusual action, unsafe

condition or improper maintenance to the proper personnel.

2. NEVER at any time allow fingers or hands to be between the tools.

3. When working with other people insure that all persons are clear of the press

brake prior to any ram motion (jogging, inching or cycling).

4. Insure that the proper safe material handling equipment (tongs, pliers, vacuum

lifters or other mechanical devices) available to the press brake operator.

5. When changing the settings of press brake controls, insure that the controls are

properly adjusted and test cycle the machine to verify correct operation.

6. Any locking type of controls should be adjusted by authorized personal, and

the key must be removed to a secure location when not being used.

7. Insure that all devices are in proper working order.

8. Anytime that the machine has been left unattended or inoperative for even a

brief time, verify the correct position of all controls and proper press brake

operation.

9. Develop a sense of safety for yourself and any persons around you as well as

your surrounding area.

Introduction

The Piranha press brake is a heavy duty, high performance hydraulic powered

machine that provides several important advantages surpassing other press brakes in

today’s market. The Piranha’s single hydraulic cylinder mechanical linkage system

provides full tonnage at any point across the bed.

The machine is shipped fully assembled requiring only hydraulic oil and electric

power to become fully operational. The heavy steel “C” frames, interlocking cross

members, ram and bed provide the integrity and resistance to deflection that is

necessary for accurate performance. State of the art, maintenance free, aerospace

Garfil bushings provide high load capacity and low friction in the form of a thin

walled sleeve. They are completely non-metallic and require no lubrication. Hardened

micro-finished oversize link pins allow the linkage to withstand high load forming

and punching applications.

Other standard features include: emergency stop button, Generation II control system,

bed tilt adjustment, spring open die clamps with hardened clamping bolts. Hardened

& ground ram slides with non-metallic ram gibs, PRS, precision ground die rail

drilled and tapped on both sides with hold down bolts, die rail centering adjustment

bolts and a sturdy 36" micro-adjustable back–gauge for simple, accurate and fast

setting.

The precision model offers ram repeatability of +/- .0004" This machine is equipped

with a Hurco CNC unit as standard. The Hurco CNC must be in use and the Finishing

Speed function must be turned on to achieve +/- .0004” repeatability.

Installation

BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PRESS BRAKE, READ AND UNDERSTAND

THE PRESS BRAKE MANUAL WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO

“SAFETY TIPS FOR MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL” THE CURRENT ANSI

B11-3 STANDARD-“SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE

CONSTRUCTION, CARE AND USE OF POWER PRESS BRAKES.”

Copies can be ordered from: American National Standards Institute,

1430 Broadway, New York, New York 10018

Unpacking

CAUTION: THE PRESS BRAKE IS HEAVY IN FRONT. GUARD

AGAINST TIPPING UNTIL ANCHOR BOLTS ARE SECURED.

This machine was carefully packaged at the factory to avoid damage during

shipment, should any accidental damage occur contact the responsible freight

company immediately and report the damage. Indicate any damage on the Bill of

Lading. All Warranty information included in this packet must be returned to

the factory.

Figure 1: Lifting Lug Location

The Piranha 95 Press Brake must only be lifted using a crane, and the lifting lugs

located in front of the hydraulic oil tank on top of the machine. Do not lift the

machine from the bottom (forklift or jack) as the machine is top and front heavy

and can tip resulting in serious bodily harm or death. Lifting the machine from

the bottom can also result in machine damage.

Placement

Piranha recommends that the machine be placed on a reasonably level concrete

foundation suitable to support the press brake’s total weight and in accordance

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

with local building codes. The machine should be placed on a single concrete

pad free of cracks and seams. Prior to anchoring or setting, the press brake

should be leveled and shimmed. A section (0) on leveling is included in this

manual. Anchoring can be accomplished using suitable masonry anchors.

Typically, only the rear feet of the machine need to be anchored. Use the

machine as a template for anchoring hole locations. Placement of the machine

should allow easy access around the machine for the operator and maintenance

personnel. For safe operation placement should allow tooling to be installed onto

the bed from the end of the machine.

It is recommended that a minimum four-foot area around the Piranha 95 Press

Brake be provided.

Initial leveling

CAUTION: THE PRESS BRAKE IS HEAVY IN FRONT. GUARD

AGAINST TIPPING BEFORE AND DURING LEVELING.

Level adjusting screws are only provided on the rear feet. The Piranha

95 Press Brake must be placed on four steel pads: 2 each 6" x 6" x ¾"

for the front feet and 2 each 6" x 6" x ½" for the rear feet. These pads

are provided with the press brake.

Figure 2: Leveling Plate /Foot Detail

1. Position the 3/4" thick pad under each of the front feet (see

Figure 2 Item 1).

2. Position the 1/2" thick pad under each of the rear feet (see

Figure 2 Item 3).

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

3. Before the riggers disconnect the lifting apparatus, check the

press brake for rough level from the left to right plane.

4. Using a machinist square level, shim the front feet until the

machined bottom surface of the Ram is level left to right.

Desired level is within .005”-.015” inch per foot. A jack

angle is located on the inside of the right C-frame to assist in

leveling the machine right to left. Because of bed tilt feature,

the bed cannot easily be used for leveling.

Cleaning

Clean the die rail, bed surface, punch holder pocket and die clamps with a mild

solvent so as not to damage the paint finish on the machine. The main cylinder

rod must also be free contaminants. Any contaminants left on the cylinder rod

may damage the chrome finish and related hydraulic seals. The cylinder rod

must be clean and dry. Wipe down the rest of the press brake with a mild

cleaning solution.

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

Precision Leveling

The Piranha 95 Press Brake must be leveled precisely prior to operation. The

following steps represent the typical leveling procedure. These instructions must

be followed to avoid damaging the machine.

This procedure will require that the press brake have electrical power connected

and hydraulic fluid installed. The press brake must be functional enough to lower

the ram to the bottom stop position.

Figure 3: Precision Leveling Detail

Item Description

1 Slides

2 Ram

Table 1: Ram Slide Location Explanations

1. Before beginning the leveling procedure, turn on the press brake

and lower the ram to the bottom of stroke position, then turn the

press brake off.

2. It is important to keep in mind that the left and right side need

only to be parallel with each other, rather than perpendicular with

the floor.

3. Using a machinist square level having an accuracy of .0005” inch

per foot graduation, place the level firmly against the front face

of the right vertical ram slide as shown. (See Figure 3 Item1)

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

4. Adjust the rear-leveling bolt until the bubble on the level is

centered.

5. Repeat this procedure for the left slide. Adjust leveling bolts as

required.

6. The side frames must be parallel to each other within .0005” per

foot.

7. Once the machine is level, place shims, having a thickness equal

to the gap between the base plate and the bottom of the press

brake foot under the foot.

8. After the shims are in place, lower the adjusting bolts and re-

check the level to ensure that the left and right sides of the

machine have remained parallel to each other. The overall shim

pack height may need to be adjusted in order to maintain side

frame parallelism.

9. The machine may now be anchored to the floor using concrete

anchor lugs.

10. After tightening the floor anchor lugs, re-check the press brake

level to ensure that the machine has not moved.

Electrical

CAUTION: ELECTRICIANS CHECKING DIRECTION OF ROTATION

SHOULD BE CAUTIONED NOT TO OPERATE THE PRESS BRAKE

UNTIL IT HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY CHECKED, CLEANED, LEVELED

AND LUBRICATED. A WIRING DIAGRAM IS FURNISHED IN THIS

MANUAL. THE PRESS BRAKE OPERATING MODE MUST BE IN THE

OFF POSITION WHEN CHECKING MOTOR ROTATION.

BEFORE DRILLING ANY HOLES IN THE ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE,

BE SURE THAT THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARDS/EQUIPMENT

ARE PROTECTED FROM METAL CHIPS CONTACTING THE CIRCUIT

BOARD(S). DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO BLOW METAL

DEBRIS FROM THE ENCLOSURE. USE A VACUUM TO REMOVE

ANY METAL PARTICLES.

Voltage requirements may be determined by comparing the fuse part number to

the chart located on the inner door panel of the main electrical box. (See Figure 4)

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

Figure 4: Fuse Size Chart

Electrical connection of the 3-phase systems requires proper phasing. When

connecting the press to a 3-phase power source, the rotational direction of the

pump drive motor must be correct. . The motor must rotate in the direction of the

arrow on the electrical motor (see Figure 6).

A licensed electrician should perform all electrical connections.

! Warning - The control transformer is for machine operation only. Do not

use the machine transformer to power any secondary devices.

If a CNC back-gauge is installed on the machine, a dedicated 115-VAC, 60Hz,

20-Amp fused service must be provided for the backgauge system. l

Connecting the Pedestal Control

Prior to operation, the pedestal control plug must be attached to the main

control panel. To connect the plug, locate the receptacle on the bottom of

the main electrical control box. Align the plug with the receptacle.

Insert the plug and rotate the outer ring securing the plug to the

receptacle.

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

Hydraulic

Before applying power to the Piranha 95 Press Brake, the hydraulic reservoir

must be filled with oil. To fill the reservoir, locate and remove the filler/breather

cap on top of the reservoir. Fill the reservoir with Mobil DTE-13 or ISO32

equivalent, filtered to an ISO 17/15/13-cleanliness level. The proper oil level is

between the red and black lines of the sight gauge found on the rear of the

reservoir (See Figure 5). Do not over fill the reservoir. Replace the filler/breather

cap.

Figure 5: Oil Level & Temperature Sight Gauge

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

Filling the Pump Case

Prior to starting the motor for the first time, remove the pump case drain

tube from the hydraulic pump and fill the pump case with hydraulic

fluid. Reconnect the pump case drain tube. If the motor is run in

reversed rotation, this procedure must be repeated. The pump case must

be filled with hydraulic fluid upon start up.

WARNING: Failure to follow this procedure may lead to pump damage

and premature failure.

Motor Rotation

Motor rotation can be verified by quickly “Bump Starting” the motor

(starting and stopping quickly) and viewing the fan blade rotation

through he fan blade shroud. The rotation direction of the motor fan

blades must correspond with the direction arrow on the motor.

If the fan blades are obscured, use a flashlight to view the fan blades

from the grease zerk slot on the fan shroud. Shine the light towards the

fan blades and view the fan blade rotation.

Upon initial start-up of the hydraulic unit visually inspect around the

machine for any possible leaks. Do not search for hydraulic oil leaks

using exposed flesh; hydraulic pressure can puncture the skin.

Operating Parameters (Key required for access)

Initiation means

Hand: When the switch is in the “Hand” position the machine is controlled from the Two-

Hand control. The palm buttons must be engaged simultaneously to initiate a press cycle.

Foot: When the “Foot” mode is selected, the press is controlled by the footswitch alone.

Hand/Foot: This is a sequencing mode of operation that utilizes both Hand and Foot modes.

Ram movement is initialized by Hand mode and then transferred to Foot mode at the speed

change position. Simultaneously depressing and maintaining both of the palm buttons

initiates the sequence. At the speed change position, the ram stops and control is transferred

to the footswitch. Activation of the footswitch will complete the ram cycle.

Foot/Foot: This is a sequencing mode of operation that utilizes a double Footswitch

actuation. Operating the footswitch control initializes Ram movement. The pressbrake ram

travels downward in approach speed to the speed change point, where the ram stops

movement. Reactivation of the footswitch will complete the ram cycle.

Run modes

Off: When the “Off” mode is selected, all Press Brake movement (up or down) is disabled.

Only the hydraulic motor can be started when the Operating Mode switch is in this position.

Inch: When the Inch mode is selected, the Press Brake ram will descend when the palm

buttons are actuated. Releasing the palm buttons will cause the ram to stop. Re-initiating the

palm buttons will restart downward ram movement. At the bottom of stroke position the ram

will stop, and must be raised by depressing the Ram Up button. This mode is useful for

setting or changing tooling, and setting up a job.

Run 1: When the Run 1 mode is selected, the ram will descend when the dual palm buttons

are depressed. When the dual palm buttons are released at any point during the down stroke,

the ram will pause. Downward motion will resume when the dual palm buttons are re-

activated. The ram will automatically return to the top of stroke position when the bottom

stop position is reached.

Run 2: When the Run 2 mode is selected, the ram will descend when the dual palm buttons

are depressed. When the dual palm buttons are released during the down stroke, or when the

bottom stop position is reached, the ram will automatically return to the top of stroke

position.

Run 3: When The Run 3 mode is selected, the ram will descend when the dual palm buttons

are depressed. When the dual palm buttons are released during the down stroke, the ram will

stop. When the ram reaches the bottom stop position, the ram may be “inched” up by

“toggling the dual palm buttons. Run 3 will allow the operator control of the ram with the

dual palm buttons during the return stroke

Finishing Speed

Finishing speed is incorporated into the control configuration to permit the press

brake ram to enter a slower pressing speed, enabling a greater degree of ram

repeatability.

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

Ram Return Modes

Low

Low, or “slow” return when selected, is a function where the ram will return slowly

from the bottom of stroke to the top of stroke.

Low / High

Low, or “slow” return when selected, is a function where the ram will return slowly

from the bottom of stroke to the original speed change point. At the speed change

point, the ram will revert to the normal or “high” return speed

High

High-speed return when selected, is a function where the ram will return ito the top of

stroke position in the high speed.

The following steps represent the typical bed leveling procedure.

1. To adjust the bed, loosen the six bed holding bolts. Two are located on the rear

side of the bed, one on each end of the press. The other four are located front side

of the bed, two on each end of the bed. (See Figure 9 Items 1 &2).

2. Rotate the adjusting bolt clockwise to lift the bed and counterclockwise to lower.

(See Figure 9 Item 3).

3. Snug the bed holding bolts. The bed holding bolts should only be snug enough to

compress the lock washers, but should not be over tightened. (See Figure 9 Item 1

& 2)

Note: Do not adjust bed tilt with the bed under load.

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

Tooling Installation

Before attempting to install, set or remove any tooling from the press brake, the safety section

of this manual must be read and understood.

The exact procedure for installation, setting and removal of dies may vary with the type of die

used. The following steps are a generalized representation and may be tempered to suit the

particular application, though not to the extent of being unsafe.

Always review the instructions provided in this manual and observe the press brake safety

rules!

! NEVER install chipped, cracked, or damaged dies.

Insure that the die is of the correct size and type for the press brake, reducing the risk of

overloading the machine.

Insure that no tools, bolts or other items are in the die area prior to operating the press brake.

Locate any available safety handling tools required.

Keep the floor and surrounding area clean and free of obstruction, debris and oil.

Press Brake Preparation

1. Start the hydraulic power unit.

2. Lower the ram to the bottom position.

3. Remove all power from the press brake.

4. Turn the operating mode to the Off position.

Die Insertion

! NEVER at any time allow fingers or hands to be between the dies.

1. Insure that the Press Brake Preparation procedure has been completed before

continuing with the insertion of dies.

2. Loosen the die rail set screws and punch clamps.

3. Insert the lower die from the end of the press brake, leaving several inches

overhanging the end of the bed

4. Measure the distance between the ram and the lower die to the punch height,

verifying sufficient clearance for insertion of the punch.

5. Adjust the position of the ram as required to allow the punch to rest on the lower

die with the tongue of the die engaged in the punch clamp.

6. Safely transport the punch to the press brake and rest it on the extended portion of

the lower die, aligning the tongue of the punch with the ram groove.

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

7. Slide the punch into the punch clamp groove aligning the ends of the punch and

lower dies.

8. Adjust the ram bottom position to make the dies “kiss,” forcing the punch to fully

engage in the punch clamp groove.

9. Tighten the punch clamps and the die rail set screws, securing the dies in the press

brake.

10. Return the ram to the up position.

Tooling Removal

! NEVER at any time allow fingers or hands to be between the dies.

1. Lower the ram until a few thousandths gap exists between the punch and lower

die.

2. Loosen the die rail set screws and punch clamps.

3. Raise the ram position slightly upward and verify that the punch will remain

resting in the lower die. If not, the punch clamps may require further loosening.

4. If additional clearance is required to allow die removal, adjust the ram position to

loosen the die yet keep it well confined.

5. With the punch partially disengaged and guided in the loosened punch clamps,

push both the upper and lower dies several inches out the end of the press brake.

With hands at the end of the dies, push the dies from the end. NEVER place hands

or fingers between the dies.

6. Properly position the die transport device at the end of the press brake to accept

the punch.

7. With hands at the end of the punch, push the punch towards the transport device,

allowing several inches to remain in the punch clamp.

8. Prepare the transport device to completely support the punch, securing the punch

from falling as required.

9. Position the transport device to accept the lower die and slide it from the bed.

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

Tool Adjustments

The following steps are a generalized representation and may be tempered to suit the

particular application though not to the extent of being unsafe. It is a good practice to

allow for several sample parts during set up operation, lowering the ram in small

increments until the desired bend is achieved without overloading the machine.

1. Insert a sample piece of material.

2. Adjust the ram limits as required until the desired bend angle is attained. Avoid

over- adjusting the ram.

Note: Shimming may be required to compensate for punch and die wear and any bed

or ram deflection.

Tonnage Requirements

See bending tonnage chart located on side of press brake for approximate bending

requirements.

Die Rail Shimming

The Piranha 95 Press Brake is manufactured without a crown in the bed. Occasionally due to

deflection, shimming may be required. If shimming is required under the die rail, shims must

be placed in progressively thicker increments from each end of the bed (see Figure 10).

Typically, shimming is required to compensate for bed deflection and must be performed by

trained personnel. The following diagram is for reference purposes only as each application

will have different requirements.

Figure 10: Die Rail Shimming Example

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

Maintenance Procedures

BEFORE MAINTAINING OR REPAIRING THE PRESS BRAKE, READ AND

UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT ANSI B11.3 STANDARD.

This section describes the procedures and requirements for maintaining and repairing the major

components of the Piranha 95 Press Brake.

Maintenance Schedule

This section outlines the suggested points and intervals for regular scheduled

maintenance. The hydraulic power unit is very sensitive to dirt and other contaminants,

but will provide many years of reliable service with a minimum amount of service. The

operating temperature and the cleanliness of the oil directly affect the life of the hydraulic

oil. Regular oil and filter changes will keep the system clean and free of sticking and

clogged valves. Because hydraulic cylinders are lubricated with every stroke, keeping

them clean and free of scratches and dings that may damage the cylinder rod seals is most

important.

The Piranha 95 Press Brake is shipped with an extra hydraulic oil filter. It is important

that after the first forty hours of operation the oil filter be replaced. Upon using the

included extra oil filter it is suggested that a replacement filter be ordered for the next

scheduled filter change.

See parts list for correct filter part number.

1. After First 40 hours:

• Change hydraulic filter

• Check fluid level

• Check gib clearances

• Grease ram slides

• Clean oil cooler by blowing air through radiator portion of the cooler

• Check fittings, bolts, nuts for tightness

2. Every 40 hours (weekly) thereafter:

• Grease ram slides.

• Clean oil cooler by blowing air through radiator portion of the cooler

• Check fittings, bolts, nuts for tightness

3. Every 3 months:

• Change hydraulic filter

It is recommended that the filter element be changed every 3

months depending on workload and environmental conditions. See

repair parts list for re-ordering instructions and the part number.

• Check hydraulic fluid level

• Check gib clearances

4. Every Year:

• Grease electric motor

5. Every Two (2) years:

• Change hydraulic fluid

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

Gib Clearance Adjustment

Proper maintenance of the gibs will require periodic adjustment of the gib clearances.

Gib Adjustment

1. Position the press brake ram so the ram slide is in full contact with the gibs.

2. Loosen the Rear Adjustment Screw Jam Nuts on both ends of the press brake.

(See Figure 11 Item 1)

3. Using a torque wrench of the correct torque range, torque the top and bottom

setscrews to 150-in. lbs. (12.5-ft. lbs.).

4. Tighten the remaining setscrews (between the top and bottom setscrews) to the

same torque.

5. Repeat steps 2 & 3.

6. Back off the setscrews 1/8 turn and tighten jam nuts.

7. Repeat this procedure for the other end of the press brake.

Side Thrust Gib Adjustment

1. Position the press brake ram so the ram slide is in full contact with the gibs.

2. Verify that the ram is aligned with the bed (left to right).

3. Loosen the Slide Mounting Bracket Jam Nuts on both ends of the press brake.

(See Figure 11 Item 2)

4. Using a torque wrench of the correct torque range, torque the top and bottom

set screws to 150-in. lbs. (12.5-ft. lbs.).

5. Repeat step 3 on opposite end of the press brake.

6. Tighten the remaining setscrews (between the top and bottom setscrews) to the

same torque.

7. Repeat step 3 on the opposite end of the press brake.

8. Re-torque the setscrews on both ends of the press brake.

9. Back off the setscrews 1/8 turn and the tighten jam nuts on the left side of the

press only.

10. Tighten the jam nuts on the right side of the press brake.

Glossary

AC Motor An electric motor designed to operate using

AC power.

Accuracy The deviation of a value from its theoretical

value after the device has been correctly

calibrated.

Air Bending The forming of sheet pr plate using a “V” die

where the desired angle is achieved before

the work pieces is compressed between the

upper and lower tools.

Ambient Condition The surrounding atmosphere and

environment.

ANSI American National Standards Institute. A

national, nonprofit organization. Its principle

function is to establish industry-wide

standards that are put in place through a

process of consensus among qualified

participants.

Backlash Mechanical clearances that exists or may

develop through wear between a driven

component and a drive source.

Ball Bushing/Linear Bearing A tubular shaped ball bearing assembly

designed for linear movement on a shaft.

Bed The stationary member of the press brake

that supports the tooling and other

associated equipment.

Bolster (bolster plate) The plate(s) attached to the bed or ram

having means for attaching die components.

Bottom Bending The forming of sheet or plate using “V” die

where e desired angel is completed after the

work piece is compressed between the upper

and lower tools. Typically requires 3-5 times

the tonnage for air bending.

C Frame Vertical side frame of the press brake.

Circuit Breaker A device used with electrical equipment to

provide overload protection.

Closed Height See shut height.

Piranha 95 Operator's /Owner's Manual

Coining A method of bottom bending were additional

force is applied during the bend to make the

work piece conform to the shape of the upper

and lower tools. Typically uses “V” dies with

opening of 6 times the material thickness and

requires 5-7 the tonnage for air bending.

Coupling (Shaft) A mechanical device used to join a motor

output shaft to a machine part, typically a

roller.

Cycle A series of events or operations that recur

regularly and usually lead back to the start.

Cylinder A piston-type actuator.

DC Power Supply An electrical device used to convert incoming

AC power to regulated DC power.

Die (s) The tooling used in a press brake for forming

metal.

Die Holder The plate or rail to which the lower portion of

the die member is attached.

Die rail See die holder.

Die Shimming Method to raise for fill a void between two

surfaces. Typically used to compensate for

machine deflection or worn tooling.

Die Space The space between the bed and ram.

Dies, Bending Dies used in press brakes to perform

bending and forming operations on a variety

of work pieces.

Electrical Spike An unpredictable and infrequent momentary

high electrical voltage which can harm

electrical/electronic devices.

Encoder A device typically electromechanical, that

translates motion into electrical pulses. See

also Resolver, Tachometer, or Transducer.

Feedback The return to an input of a part of the output

of a machine or control system, or process.

Fuse Electrical overload protection device.

ram.

Grease zerk Fitting designed to accept grease for

lubricating components.

Hydraulics The branch of mechanics, which uses

controlled hydraulic oil flow, and pressure to

provide force to an actuator.

Inertia A property of matter by which it stays at rest

or in uniform motion in the same straight line

unless acted on by an external force.

Lifting lugs Steel plates with large holes that are

attached to the press brake to assist in lifting

the machine.

Limit Switch Typically, an electrical device that provides

position information to a control system.

Pressure Reducer Typically, a hydraulic component that senses

secondary pressure to maintain that output

pressure regardless of the incoming

pressure.

Pressure Relief Typically, a hydraulic component that uses a

spring to hold an orifice closed until system

pressure overcomes the spring and allows

flow to the reservoir.

Proximity Sensor An electrical device capable of detecting the

presence of an object.

PSI Acronym. Available Force expressed in

Pounds per Square Inch

Punch The male part of the tool (die).

Pushbutton A small button or knob actuated by pushing,

provided for operator control, electrical,

pneumatic, or mechanical.

Ram The linear moving press brake member

configured to carry a portion of the tooling.

Relay An electromechanical device for remote or

automatic control that is actuated in variation

of conditions of an electrical circuit and that

operates other devices in an electrical circuit.

Repeatability The closeness of agreement among multiple

measurements of an output, for the same

value of the measured signal under the same

operating conditions, approaching from the

same direction for full range traverses.

Reset To restart or arm a control or safety system.

RPM Acronym. Rotational speed expressed as

Revolutions per Minute.

Safeguarding A method for protection of personnel from

hazards using guards, safety devices, or safe

work procedures.

Selector Switch A small button or knob actuated by turning,

provided for operator control, electrical,

pneumatic, or mechanical.

Service (Safety) Disconnect Typically, a large mechanical switch that is

provided to completely remove incoming

power for the purpose of storage or service

of a machine.

the installation and adjustment of work

holding devices or tooling and appropriate

safeguarding to ensure proper and safe

operation of the press brake.

Shield (foil or braided) Typically, a metallic encasement surrounding

wiring or components to avoid interference

from RF signals.

Shut Height The distance from the bed to the ram when

the ram is at the bottom of its stroke (in the

closed position).

Solenoid Valve Typically, a pneumatic or hydraulic valve

actuated by an electromagnetic coil.

Throat An opening or recess in the ram (housing) to

permit the positioning of material or

workpieces.

Tool (Die) The cutting or shaping component used in a

machine.

Transducer A device typically electromechanical, that

translates motion into electrical pulses.

Transformer An electrical device that employs the

principle of mutual induction to convert

variations of current in a primary circuit into

variations of voltage and current in a

secondary circuit.

V-Bending The forming of sheet metal material using a

pair of “V” shaped tools that bend the

workpiece by applying a three-point load.

Valve Any of numerous mechanical devices by

which the flow of liquid, gas, or loose

material in bulk may be started, stopped, or

regulated by a moveable part that opens,

shuts, or partially obstructs one or more ports

or passageways.
