I'm sorry but you don't make the setting of this machine correctly. You do too much pressure on the guide pulleys. The pressure screw does not tighten the handle with such a large force, but it must be tightened so that the locking mechanism (lever) slightly clicked the locking system. This very strong tightening of the screw will destroy the gearbox very soon. I know this machine very well from practical use as well as maintenance and repair.
The Bodor Genius Auto-Focus system handles the adjustment of the focal point, which is key when cutting varying thicknesses of sheet metal, including something as impressive as 80mm plate. The machine tool control system manages this automatically, adjusting the focal point during the cutting process to ensure the best results. This auto-focus capability eliminates the need for manual adjustments, which can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially when switching between different materials or thicknesses. With the ability to set separate perforation and cutting focal lengths, the system increases cutting accuracy and speed. This precise control allows the machine to maintain the optimal focal distance even as the beam depth changes, ensuring clean and accurate cuts every time. This technology significantly enhances the efficiency and quality of laser cutting operations, making it an excellent solution for heavy-duty applications like cutting 80mm plates.
To increase the angle in the middle of the sheet you need to apply crowning. Some machines have automatic crowning which the Cybtouch controller can adjust. The crowning is automatically calculated on the Cybtouch controller based on the Material Thickness, Material Tensile Strength and Bending Length. You can modify the crowning yourself if the calculated value is not enough or too much. You just tap the crowning icon and adjust the value until you get your perfect fold. The crowning icon can be found among all the other settings (dwell time, opening height, etc..) Other machines might not have automatic crowning. For these machines you’ll have to introduce the crowning yourself by adjusting your tooling. Please don’t hesitate to call us if you need further information. www.machineryhouse.com.au/contactus
@@Machineryhouse1930 thanks for the response, I am looking at purchasing PB-70B - Hydraulic NC Pressbrake 70T x 3200mm - Includes Laser Safety Guarding CYBELEC Touch Draw control 2-Axis, SERVO DRIVEN Ballscrew Backgauge, being the cheaper machine I would imagine that it would not include the automatic crowning adjustment? Are you able to explain How would this machine be adjusted for crowning? Or do a video if possible?
@@JSC-c We'd be happy to guide you through this process. Please feel free to contact our staff member, Sam, at 02 8838 3558 or via email at ssainsbury@machineryhouse.com.au.
@@Machineryhouse1930 ok thanks, I’m in Adelaide and see you have a new store down here, does this store have all the machinery on display like the interstate stores?
@@JSC-cWe currently have a PB-70E Hydraulic NC Pressbrake (70T x 2500mm) on display, which includes laser safety guarding and Estun NC-E21 Control 2-Axis with a leadscrew backgauge. While it isn't the exact model in question, our staff would be more than happy to demonstrate how to apply crowning on this machine and discuss your options.
@@Machineryhouse1930 Do you know if they will work with ToAuto scales? They only have 5 active pins in the plug, some have 2 extra, what input type is this DRO? Mine doesn't have do a reference position on start up
By the language this guy is using he must be a salesman and not a machinist. As a machinist he is painful to listen to. It’s like he is selling to someone who has never touched a lathe. Like someone wanting to buy a table saw at Home Depot and is thinking about buying it to do home Reno’s 🤣
Great ad for Hypertherm, well done. Sweet FA about Swiftcut or the table though. And why the hell does every manufacturer use the same type of BS music, give it a farking rest. Ooool it's punchy! like a lobotomy for cardboard cutout dumbos. Those geniuses in marketing, formulaic, stale and generally a great display of a complete inability to think outside the box....
i loved the response i got from northmead when i turned up with the faulty shaft II from inside mine. yknow, big crack running down the length of it? from the factory as you can see where it was ground afterwards? and instead of honouring ausstralian consumer laws, and replacing said DEFECTIVE PART FREE OF CHARGE? bruce or brian, whatever his name was... "what do you expect us to do about it?" then strangely, after providing the link to the item on the site itself, he refused to even sell it to me without "the serial number". followed by somehow the price increasing to just shy of $200 when i looked it up a few weeks later. yeah. thats the customer service that EVERYONE has come to expect from northmead H&F. wage earners with no desire to help, assist, or provide any support.
how about you guys inform the factory that they are machining the tailstocks backwards? if i had looked at that when i bought it, i would have demanded a replacement that has some overhang where its needed so you can actually turn between centers. or gotten a different model. the 346 has a "standard" tailstock with the overhang facing in the direction its required... maybe theyll fit? but if i head to the showroom, do you reckon theyll even let me try? nope. even the line drawing in the parts diagram shows it oriented the correct, standard way, rather than being backwards with a flush front so it has no overhang and always gets in the way. but then again, H&F has a reputation for excellent customer service, so i dont expect anything to change anytime soon. how long have they been making and selling this model with its backwards machined tailstock? bit late now, huh? i definitely wouldnt expect them to say... supply a correctly machined tailstock that can actually be used, to all customers that have purchased one of these, if they wanted one. much the same reason im making that new shaft inside the hm46, that when i showed up to the northmead showroom with the shaft with manufacturing defect, the thing has a crack running down the length of it, obviously from the factory as its been ground AFTERWARDS, but "brian", or maybe it was "bruce", simply looked at me and stated "what do you expect us to do about it?" you are expected to REPLACE DEFECTIVE TIMES AS PER AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAWS, thats what i expect you to do about it. i seriously contemplate going back, recording the conversation and approaching the ombudsman over this. i can handle a bandsaw blade breaking, thats normal. but a critical internal part of a machine, that it RELIES upon, and is DEFECTIVE... havent been back to H&F since then, and i wont be returning anytime soon. your impeccable record of customer service has lost me. and well, i dont seem to be the only person with my experience, from what i hear in the mens sheds, in lunch rooms, down at hornsby model engineers shop... i am yet to meet ANYONE with a positive thing to say about H&F and their customer support. anyway. every other lathe in your line has it done properly from what i see. just the 336 stands apart with this nonsensical tailstock design. surprised the place is even in business. maybe they have a better rep in other cities, but northmead has a long upheld tradition of employing arseholes that have absolutely no interest in assisting anyone, whether it be advice, help, or simply honouring australian consumer laws regarding faulty products and manufacturing defects.
In regard to the defective shaft in your HM-46B Mill Drill, talk directly with Mr Ankur Patel (Manager), whom I have found from personal experience is a very reasonable and sincere person. He is a shining example of a 'People Person'.
@@tandjrogers sorry, i had to have a rant. this popped up in my feed for some unknown reason... and i was wasting time simply because that tailstock had caught me yet again! and yeah... id just had that experience... ummmm... i made one. not sure what steel old car axle is, but it hardened nicely, ground nicely. without cracking. only had to split the box another two times, measure it, then install it... easy gear shifts and no more "clacka clacka". sigh. they do the job. do wish that tailstock was done properly though. meh. it gives me a project.
@@paradiselost9946 We all need to vent now and then, it's human nature mate. I'd love to see some photos of your 'shaft' work around. [Did you contact Ankur?] I can't understand why the tailstock on this model lathe was done this way (arse about)??? I checked the specs on all their models around this size but there's nothing 'adaptable' to the 336. Different 'bed widths', different 'centre heights'.
@@tandjrogers ahhh, you see it now, dont you? my guess is someone stuffed up in the factory a long time ago, and as noone ever pointed it out as an issue, and possibly with 10,000 having been machined that way... thats how its stayed. jig stays on shelf until the next batch and again. why change? would just make parts awkward... two options... hack it up and turcite the base back to alignment, or hack it up and make it into a slotter/lever type. not a fan of hand wheels on deep holes. got enough meat for some slideways if i slice about midway through the spindle bore.. base needs skimming anyway so it actually contacts the bed properly. i think they machined it with an oxy torch, by the look of it. so it will all shift down a bit and give me some room up top. quick search for 300x900 lathes. SMT1236GA CQ6230A same factory different seller. backwards facing tailstock. seems universal on this model. i guess i should fix it and stop complaining :)
