Electrical connections
Before connecting the machine to the electrical supply, check that the relevant rules,
regulations, standards and measures in the country where the machine is to be used are
fully complied with.
Machines are normally set up for connection to a three-phase supply with three R-S-T wires and an S1
protective conductor (earth/ground). The conductors socket is accessed via a socket for this purpose at the
back of the electrical control cabinet.
It is important to check that the mains electricity supply voltage matches that for which the machine is set
up. If it is different, change the connections on the control transformer and on the motor box, in
accordance with the following diagrams:

TRANSPORT

The machine should be transported by suspending it from slings (preferably band type) around the ends
of the top worktable as shown in the figure.

Figure 3

WARNING:
Hanging the machine by a different point to
that indicated by figure number 3, or by
unnapropiated slings may cause the fall of
the machine with serious injuries for the
people or damage of goods in its path.

Electric diagram
See list of spare parts

SAFETY DEVICES
Voltage
Before connecting the machine to the mains supply, always check that the supply
voltage and frequency are as indicated for the machine (usually 230/440V - 50Hz) and
particularly that the supply incorporates an EARTH TERMINAL and a
DIFFERENTIAL MAGNETO-THERMAL RELAY

WARNING:
Unsuitable voltage or frequency may cause serious damage to the
electric motor, while lack of a differential relay may even cause
death.

Other considerations
Given the nature of the material to be bent, which is usually corrugated steel rod, ALBA S.A.
recommends the use of suitable safety clothing (gloves, boots, leather aprons, etc.).
 INFORMATION:
Working without appropriate safety clothing may cause grazes
and other injury to exposed parts of the body or to normal
clothing.

Minimum voltage coil

In the event of an electrical power failure, the minimum voltage coil trips to disconnect the machine from
the supply, so that when power returns the green start button must be pressed again.
This is to prevent the machine starting up without control when the voltage is re-
established.

EXPECTED APPLICATIONS
These light bending machines are intended for bending steel in the following sections:
 Corrugated steel bars
 solid round
 square
 rims

• CONSULT THE MANUFACTURER for any other uses

PUTTING INTO SERVICE

Installing this machine needs no special site or conditions, except that the bending plate must be
horizontal.
The electrical power supply does, however, need particular care.
First make sure that the electrical installation to which the machine is to be connected is fitted with a
differential thermal overload relay and an earth terminal.
Also make sure that the voltage and frequency are suitable (except for special orders,
these machines work at 400 V – 50 Hz).

WARNING:
Unsuitable voltage or frequency may cause serious damage to the
electric motor, while lack of a differential relay may even cause
death.
 MACHINE USE
Press the green button to start the machine. The green light should come on. If it does not, check that the
Emergency knob is not pressed in.
The machine is now ready for bending. Fit the bar (as explained below) and operate the pedal.
For safety reasons, the machine will stop if the pedal is released before the bending angle has been
completed. Pressing it again returns to the point of origin. If the pedal is pressed during this return, the
machine stops and the pedal must be released again to return to the starting position.
The bending plate may turn either clockwise or anticlockwise. There is a rotary switch on the electrical
panel to determine this direction.
Anticlockwise is recommended for better performance and longer life of the
mechanism.
Bending instructions:
Our machines leave the factory with a complement of bushes and pins which varies
depending on the model, there being always 3 or 4 pins of 48. These pins and bushes
are used as follows:

Bush depending on
requires bending radius Initial position
Figure 4

Support pin  48

Bush Support pin  48 Bending bush

Support pin  48

NOTE: When bar diameter is

less tan 20 mm. (or
equivalent in square or rim
section), the angle may be
used for bending.
Final position
Figure 5
 Fit the pin or pin + bush needed for the desired bending radius in the centre of the plate. Then locate the
rod being bent as shown in the figure 5, positioned according to the point at which the bend is to be made.
Fit the bush in the most suitable hole and adjust. Finally, fit the bending pin in one of the uncovered plate
holes (nearest the rod). Select the bending angle using the plate keys, and the machine is ready for use.

It is normal to have to correct the position of the keys after the first bend to adjust the angle.
There are 5º between each consecutive hole in the plate.
ALBA can, to order, supply any pin or bush with different dimensions to those supplied
with the machine.
"O" deadstop

Figure 6

Allen type screws

"O" deadstop
At the bottom of the bending plate, clamped by two Allen screws, the machine has a
moving “O” deadstop which if moved means the holes available in the plate can be used
for bending. At the back of the machine guard there is a rectangular hole to put a hand
through and set the stop to the required position.

MAINTENANCE
The bending machine must be inspected periodically, particularly before working with it.
A visual inspection may detect defects, dents, etc. which could cause the machine to malfunction during
use. Broken parts must be replaced by new original spares if necessary. Never remove a part and continue
to use the machine without replacing it.
Instructions for renewing the reduction gear grease:
1. Loosen the motor screws (1) to slacken the belts so 1 3 2
they may be removed.
2. Remove the table screws (2) and lift the table about 10
cm.
3. Remove the travel limit switches (3) to continue lifting Fig. 7
the table and remove it completely.
4. Rest it on the ground or on a solid base where
dismantling can continue.
5. Remove the pulley (4), spacer bush (5), cover (6) and
oil seal (7).
6. Apply the new grease (about 3.5 kg of lithium-based
grease, type “EPX-0” or similar).
7. Clean any remains of the jointing compound from all
around the cover and the zone supporting the reduction
gear body. Make a new joint using Loctite FORM-A-
GASKET Nº 2 or similar, or some type of silicon.
7 5 8 6 4
8. Replace the oil seal (7), code DR08006010 and the O-
ring, code DT05448533.
9. Reassemble, following the above steps in reverse order.
STORAGE
Although the machine may be used in the open, it is advisable to protect it from rain and damp during
use.
The bending machine will last longer if it is cleaned and kept under cover at the end of each working day.

Maintenance instructions
Instructions for resetting the air gap
Table 1, in theoretical terms, and table 2 in practical and preventive terms for
dismantled motors provide enough data for maintaining the motors referred to here.
The air gap must be readjusted when it reaches a maximum of 0.65 mm.
Following the attached drawing, readjust the air gap as described below.
Remove the nylon brake protection casing.
This involves the following:
Remove the release key (44) if fitted.
Unscrew and remove the casing securing screw.
By means of alternate light blows at the sides and back of the casing, extract it by hand
from its housing (12F). Removing it from the motor exposes the brake.
Loosen the nuts (65D2): N.3 for size 100 and 112 N.6 for 132. Insert a feeler gauge in
space “x”, and draw the magnet (43) closer to the countermagnet (37).
After aligning all the nuts (65D2) so that the magnet flange matches them perfectly,
tighten them (65D1) to lock the magnet.
Check the air gap again using the feeler gauge, as it may have varied while locking the
magnet.
If this has happened, readjust the air gap thickness by screwing in and unscrewing each
pair of nuts and checking the gap with the gauge until properly set.
Fit and secure the protective casing to complete the operation.

Instructions for regulating braking torque

This operation must be carried out with the air gap at its usual dimension. To adjust
braking torque, first screw in and unscrew the nuts (38C). This loads and unloads the
springs (38) which determine braking torque by compressing the countermagnet flange
(37).
Maximum braking torque compatible with magnet attraction is obtained by respecting
the value “y” shown in table 3.

Replacing the brake disc

It is advisable to replace the brake disc when the thickness of the clutch rings falls to
between 1.5 and 2 mm.

Replace the brake disc (36) as follows:

- Remove the nylon brake protection casing (see point 1 above) from pos. 1
(Resetting the brake).
- Unscrew and remove the nuts (65D1).
- Withdraw the magnet carefully and support it or fix it to a nearby point or to the
motor itself, the aim being to avoid damaging the cable connecting it to the terminal
block.
- Remove nuts (65D” and 38C) by screwing them in, then unscrewing them.
- Also remove the springs (38) and countermagnet.
- Finally, withdraw the brake disc shaft (36) by hand, this being possible except in
certain cases.
After carefully cleaning and degreasing the friction surfaces (32 and 37) with suitable
solvents, clean and blow through the splining too before reassembling the unit.

Refitting the brake disc

- First check that the new disc contains no foreign bodies, then fit the splined hub
onto the splined shaft. The longest projection is fitted facing the motor.
- Check the part moves freely in an axial direction, then insert the countermagnet (36)
on to the appropriate guides and slide it up against the brake disc.
- Now fit the springs (38) and nuts (38C), and tighten them in accordance with the
value indicated in table 3.
- Fit nuts (65D2), the magnet in its position and nuts (65D1). Adjusting the air gap as
described in point 1 (“Readjusting the air gap”) completes the disc replacement
procedure.
It is advisable to check system operation before switching the motor on for normal use.
The new disc has to bed in, which means maximum braking torque is produced after a
few hours of operation.

ANDIA MOTOR
Operation:

1- At rest, with the motor stopped, the electromagnet (wound fixed core assembly) (13)
is not connected. Under these conditions, the pressure exerted by the springs (17)
keeps the brake disc (7) pressed on one side against the back motor mounting, and
on the other against the moving core (8), to keep the motor shaft locked. The brake
disc (7) is fitted to a drive pinion (9) which is fixed with a key (18) to the motor
shaft and moves with it.
2- On starting, the electromagnet (wound fixed core assembly) (13) is connected up to
the mains supply at the same time as the motor. As the electromagnet (13) is
actuated, the moving core (8) is attracted and overcomes the force applied by the
springs (17), thereby freeing the brake disc (7) and allowing the motor shaft to turn.
3- During braking the current is cut off, the electromagnet (13) stops attracting the
moving core (8), which is attracted by the springs (17).
The brake disc (7) is now once again compressed between the back motor mounting and the moving
core (8), braking and locking the motor shaft.

Maintenance:

Braking torque regulation.

Motors are supplied in normal version with springs to provide 100% of nominal torque,
35 Nm for this particular brake.
If a lower torque is required, the brake may be regulated down to a value of 45% of
nominal torque.
Regulation involves turning the nuts (20); turning clockwise reduces total spring length
and increases torque, while turning anticlockwise reduces torque. Minimum spring
length is 14.4 mm, which gives 100% torque. As this length increases, braking torque
reduces.
It is very important that the three springs are the same length.

Inspecting the disc lining material

When the lining material on the friction discs wears down to 1.5 mm they must be
replaced.

Regulating the air gap:

The friction discs forming the disc brake (7) wear down during use, causing the air gap
(dimension W) to increase over time until it reaches a maximum value of 0.7 mm.
The recommended air gap for optimal working is 0.35 mm, so that a 0.35 mm feeler
gauge should be used for setting the gap, as follows:
- Loosen the three nuts (16) allowing dimension W to be reduced to the required
value. It is important that all points of the brake are set to the same value.
- Tighten the nuts (15) and check that dimension W is as required at all points of the
brake (it can be checked at three points close to each of the fixing studs (14). The
recommended tightening torque for these nuts is 10 Nm.
Replacing components:

The following operations have to be carried out to maintain the braking system and replace components:
- Using a flat blade screwdriver for DIN-84 screws, loosen the four screws (5) and
remove the four washers (4) which fix the brake cap (6).
No more components need removal to check and set the air gap (W) and adjust the braking torque.
Proceed as follows to replace components:
- Remove the flexible ring at the end of the shaft (12) and the fan (11).
- Remove the three nuts (15) so that the wound fixed core assembly may be
withdrawn.
Do not pull too hard on the wound fixed core assembly securing hose to avoid
damaging it.
If it needs replacing, the gland which fastens the cable where it enters the motor
connections box must be removed and the motor terminals loosened, allowing the
brake supply hose to be withdrawn. Take care that the cables marked X, Y, Z and U,
V, W are refitted in the same motor terminal positions.
- Remove the three nuts (16) and (20) and the springs (17) to free the moving core
(8).
- Remove the brake disc (7), and detach the flexible ring (10) using an appropriate
tool. Now remove the drive pinion (9), removing the key (18) if necessary.
- The three fixing studs (14) may be removed if required using a spanner turned
anticlockwise.

Fitting components:

Before fitting the brake assembly, check that there is no grease or similar material on
the back motor mounting which may reduce braking torque.
- Fit the key (18) to the motor shaft.
- Fit the drive pinion (9) and the flexible ring (10).
- Now fit the brake disc (7) with the flat face towards the outside of the motor. The
small boss is inserted in the back motor mounting.
- For quieter motor operation, it is advisable to put the antivibration spring (19) in its
housing on the pinion (9) before fitting the brake disc.
- Fit the fixing studs (14). First apply Loctite 638 to the stud threads which enter the
back motor mounting. These studs should be tightened to 10 Nm.
- Fit the moving core (8) with its machined cast face against the brake disc.
- Insert the three springs (17) and self-locking nuts (20), one on each stud.
- Fit a nut (16) to each stud and position the wound fixed core with its machined face
against the part (8).
- Fit a nut (15) to each stud to close complete the assembly.

Tools to use:

Flat blade screwdriver for DIN 84; tool for extracting flexible rings, spanner for
DIN981 M8 nut (17 mm), set of feeler gauges, open-end spanner for fixing studs (10
mm)..
