Linear encoders constantly monitor the bed-to-ram position, feeding this information to the Control. The Control is a programmable microcomputer, interfaced by the operator through a keyboard using a conversational program display on a color monitor. The program controls the vertical movement of the ram and movement of the backgage. After a program is entered either the machine can be run or the program stored in internal memory. The AUTOFORM Control allows an individual job to be quickly set- up and run as well as complicated, multi-bend parts or long run jobs. After a program is run, the program and related set-up information can be saved for future use. PART QUALITY The following factors affect part quality: ✦ Press Brake condition and repeatability ✦ Operator ability ✦ Condition of tooling ✦ Quality of material CINCINNATI machines are designed to be rugged and durable. However, improper adjustment or lack of maintenance can reduce the quality of parts produced on that machine. These factors may also affect the repeatability of the machine. A machine that will not consistently reverse at the same point or will drift out-of-level will not produce uniform parts. Operator ability obviously affects part quality and production rate. CINCINNATI INCORPORATED provides many design features in the machine and optional acces- sories to aid even the most experienced operator to produce consistent parts. The operator or set-up person must select the best tooling from those available. The type of gaging, material supports or other special equipment will affect how the part is produced. Selecting the proper bend sequence is important to obtain quality parts and for operator safety. CINCINNATI offers both Operator and Maintenance training programs at our factory to address these problems. This training may cover subjects from the basics of forming to the use of the machines microcomputer controls. Worn, damaged or poor quality dies or filler blocks can directly affect part quality. Using good tooling, selecting the correct tooling for the job and setting them up properly can produce good part quality. Quality of material can affect angular tolerances of the bend. This is due to normal material thickness variations found in commercial steels as well as hard and soft spots in the metal. Using a good grade of material and the proper tooling set-up will minimize the variations.

All of the machine’s optional accessories and small parts are in these boxes, such as wrenches and leveling shims. Check all of these parts with the packing list. Claims for shortages should be made within ten days. Most machines are shipped assembled on skids. Some of the longer length machines are shipped with the bed removed and bolted to the rear of the housings and some are shipped disassembled. Remove all shipping paper from the wrapped parts of the machine. Leave the shipping skids, bed and ram bracing and electrical enclosure attached to the machine until it has been moved to its final location.

  • Modeling of the Manifold Configuration for Maximum Efficiency in a Hydraulic Machine
    International Journal of Fluid Machinery and Systems DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5293/IJFMS.2019.13.1.136 Vol. 13, No. 1, January-March 2020 ISSN (Online): 1882-9554 Original Paper Modeling of the Manifold Configuration for Maximum Efficiency in a Hydraulic Machine Kesar M Kothari 1, R.Udayakumar1, Ram Karthikeyan1, Vishweshwar S1and Nikitha Raj2 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, Bits Pilani Dubai Campus Dubai, United Arab Emirates, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Bits Pilani Dubai Campus Dubai, United Arab Emirates, [email protected] Abstract Hydraulic manifolds are metal cuboids machined to realize the compact circuit layout within them. They are introduced in the hydraulic machines to fit the large and complex hydraulic system layouts in narrow spaces available in the machines. Therefore, designing of the manifold in fact is more oriented towards achieving minimum size and weight. But the use of manifold, may introduce high pressure losses in the system. Efficiency of the system decreases and temperature of the fluid increases with pressure drop. This present research work focuses on understanding the pressure losses in the most common channel connections used in the manifold to realize the hydraulic circuit and to understand the efficiency of the manifold at different flow values. To achieve these objectives, a real-time case study is considered, where a manifold for a cable pulling winch machine is modified to reduce the pressure drop and increase the efficiency of the machine. Simple channel models are considered and analyzed using semi empirical equations available in the literature and are compared with results obtained from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis.

Durfee, PhD March 2017 © Brett C. Neubauer 2017 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my parents Paul and Linda Neubauer in the continuous support of my academic pursuits. It is their guidance from a young age that led me to pursue my aspirations in education and of knowledge. I would also like to give thanks to my adviser Professor William Durfee at the University of Minnesota for sharing his expertise and guidance during my graduate education. There are several individuals that need to be acknowledged for their efforts in this research. Jonathan Nath is a mechanical engineering student completing his master degree at the University of Minnesota, and he provided assistance in designing and building the electrohydraulic power supply for the hydraulic ankle-foot orthosis. He has also provided assistance and expertise in the design and construction of the ankle actuator assemblies of the pediatric hydraulic ankle-foot orthosis. Sangyoon Lee, a PhD candidate in the mechanical engineering program at the University of Minnesota, assisted in developing the axial piston pump performance model. Dr. Andre Ries is a PhD graduate working at Gillette Children’s Hospital in St. Paul, MN, and he assisted with the collection of AFO stiffness data using the BRUCE measurement system. Dr. Ries also provided gait data collected with 3D motion capture for patients with cerebral palsy.
