It has happened again.
I scrapped the mechanical ironworker two months ago and now the one job we had to run on it has come up. That happens every single time I take a machine out of service.
So today I was over at a machinery dealer looking at a used 60T Mubea hydraulic ironworker. The thing is in pretty decent shape and we tested all the shear functions.
The one thing I didn't like is that with the switches on punch and inch mode, the punch would inch all the way down but them stop. You could keep hitting the footpedal but it wouldn't move. If you switched back to full stroke, it would come up.
My question is, should the punch complete a cycle even in inch mode. it seems to me like it should. Is some limit switch or something else preventing it from doing so?
Is anybody familiar with these?
