Hello guys,
I'm not very familiar with the forum rules, but I would like to say hi to everyone here!!
Unfortunately my first post is not as optimistic as it might seem.
Some time ago, I bought PROMECAM press brake, model ITP/ITP2.I knew it had a faulty cylinders, so they were fixed.
In the meantime, I have changed CNC control panel, I bought new tooling clamps and new tools. Basically, complete machine overhaul.
Everything was put back together, but the problem is, that machine is not working very well - mechanically.
It's not bending evenly, and there's always a different clearance between left and right side. Everything was checked again, by few service man from AMADA, but they seem NOT to know a lot about such an old machines. They cannot provide any manuals, and i was left alone with the problem.
They just told me, to align the "rams" (sorry i don't speak english very well, but the picture attached to post should clear things out), and that's it. They even adviced me, to scrap the machine, and buy something new..right.
Oh, and one more thing, before putting out the cylinders from the press, the moving elements ("rams") were very tight, providing even pressure on the steel block in the middle. Now, one of them "sticks" to the block quite well, but the second one is moving freely, touching the block just a bit.
There are 4 rams in the press, and 2 steel blocks. You can see it on the pictures.
For me, it shouldn't be like that, but the AMADA guys told me it doesn't matter at all.
I've heard a lot of good things about those press brakes, and I would like to fix it.
Can anyone help me with this?
Maybe You can provide a manual, or something.
Anything will be helpful!!
