We understand there is nothing worse when you are tight on a deadline, mid production and your machine doesn’t quite do what you have asked. We have developed a series of training films to support our customers to successfully set up and manage their machinery independently.
Over the next few months we will be picking the brains of our experienced engineers who will talk us through a range of general maintenance, set up, machine management and useful tips and tricks to ensure you are fully equipped to manage your machine.
To kick start the knowledge base library we have been looking at the pressbrake and have already assembled a selection of useful films to get you started. More films will follow in the coming weeks.
Do let us know if there is any particular guidance you are looking for:

How to Set the Laser Guards On Your Press Brake After You Have Changed Your Top Tooling
In this video, we will show you how to set the laser guards on the Morgan Rushworth press brake. The top tooling on the pressbrake comes in different heights depending on the top fold that you would like to use i.e. 35 degrees, 90 degrees, 88 degrees each of these come in different lengths so that you can achieve the fold required. To release this tooling and remove it will depend on the make and model of your pressbrake some need have two Allen keys, others may have fast opening systems.
