AFCPS 823-B ANGLEMASTER
(with PC BASED CONTROL SYSTEM)
Peddinghaus Corporation
Version #1, Rev. 2
(May 2, 2002)
INTRODUCTION/MACHINE DESCRIPTION
It is important that all persons supervising, operating or servicing your “Peddimat” CNC
system read and understand this manual.
This manual deals with the mechanical operation and maintenance of your “Peddimat”
CNC system. Some of the features described may be for optional equipment which you
may not have in your system.
The Peddinghaus AFCPS 823-B Anglemaster is a machine used for fabricating structural
angle, flat, and channel. The machine consists of two punch axes for angle, and one for
flat stock and channel. The shear cuts the angle or flat stock to the desired lengths. The
punch section can be programmed for any selected punch or punch combinations to
produce holes or layout marks at desired locations. The loader assembly will place the
next work piece for processing on the infeed, and the unloader will sort parts into
unloading stations. The pinch drive mechanism allows maximum utilization of material
stock in that you may program material to have a lead end drop only. The computer
control will determine the amount of remaining stock if any.
Optional equipment will have its own manual. All pertinent manuals will be provided for
the equipment you are receiving. For information on optional equipment which is
available for your machine, contact your Peddinghaus sales representative.
Peddinghaus products have been marketed throughout the world since 1903.
In the years prior to 1977, these Peddinghaus products were manufactured in Germany
exclusively. In 1977 Peddinghaus Corporation, located in Bradley, Illinois, was founded
and became actively involved with the engineering, manufacturing, sales and servicing of
machines and systems for the fabrication of plate and structural steel.

1.1 General
Use the information contained in this manual to prevent injury to those persons supervising,
operating, or servicing your “Peddimat” PC system. Also be certain to read any other literature
provided to you by Peddinghaus Corporation.
Inspect the (3) screws which fasten the entry measuring wheel to the shaft hub. Inspect once per
month to make sure these screws are secure, and re-tighten if not.
Inspect the coupling screws (1 per end) which connect the Entry encoder shaft to the measuring wheel
shaft. Inspect once per month minimum, and more often under heavy-duty production cycles, to
make sure these screws are secure. If not re-tighten as required.
The machine should be inspected daily for loose fasteners or damaged equipment. These should be
repaired and/or replaced before operating the “Peddimat” PC system.
1.3 Housekeeping
The area around the “Peddimat” PC System should be maintained in a clean and uncluttered
condition. Punch slugs and scrap metal should be removed from the floor to prevent any accidental
loss of footing.
The controls should be kept clean and readable, and should not be obstructed in any manner.
All oil and grease should be kept off the floor, the control areas, and areas of the “Peddimat” PC
system which are not designated as to be oiled or greased. The area around the hydraulic reservoir
and hydraulic components should be kept clean of oil, and any leakage must be repaired immediately.

1.4 Start-Up
• All emergency “OFF” buttons on the machine must be enabled (refer to figure 4.2).
• The Main Power Disconnect located on the electrical cabinet must be “ON” (refer to figure 4.2).
• Switch the machine control on with the “POWER ON” push button located on the machine
control console. Please wait until start-up screen appears on the video screen. It may take
approximately 30-60 seconds for this boot-sequence to occur (refer to figure 4.2).
• With the machine power “ON” and “Pinch Drive 1” and/or “Pinch Drive2” enabled the overhead
red light must be operating.
There are four (4) emergency stop push buttons on the standard equipped Anglemaster (refer to figure
4.2). Check each one independently. Press an emergency stop button. The machine operation should
stop and a red “E-Stop” sign should appear on the screen. Pull the button out and press “ENTER” or
space bar on the keyboard to reset it. Repeat this procedure for all emergency stop buttons on the
system.

Once the material is loaded, and the desired program is selected, press “CYCLE START” to initiate
program execution, beginning with the axis referencing sequence described hereafter.
• The (punch cylinders) Y and Z-Axis reference sequence typically operates as follows:
The axis will move up at high speed until the REF SWITCH turns on (at approximately 6.0”
gauge). Then it will move down at slow speed until the REF SWITCH turns off, then stops. If
the reference cycle starts with the REF SWITCH already on, it will move down slowly until the
switch turns off, then stop (refer to figure 5.3).
• If the operator chose the “Automatic Stock Measurement” option, the material will move
forward slowly until the “auto-measure switch” is uncovered (refer to figure 5.1). At this point
the stock length will be displayed on the screen, along with any applicable error messages.
• If the material is flat stock, the next operation will be a re-clamp sequence. the material will feed
forward to the second hold down. Both hold downs will engage. The first pinch roller will then
momentarily disengage, and then re-engage. This will ensure the material is at the proper datum.
• If the operator chose the “Auto-Nest” option, the rest of the program will be created
automatically and displayed on the screen along with any applicable error messages.
Next, the machine will begin punching and shearing. The material will feed to the correct
X-dimension, and the bridge-frames will move to their proper gauge positions. The hold-down
rollers and the second pinch roller will engage automatically whenever they are able to contact the
material. Then a punch, layout, or shear cycle will begin.
• During a punch cycle the punch ram and stripper stroke together until the stripper makes contact
with the material being processed. At this point, the “layout” proximity switch is broken and the
stripper is hydraulically locked. The punch ram continues until the “bottom of stroke” proximity
switch turns on, then begins its return stroke. Once the punch strips from the material, the
“layout” proximity switch is actuated and the stripper and punch ram return together until the
“top of stroke” proximity switch turns on. This completes a typical punch cycle (refer to figure
5.2).
1-3
• During a layout cycle, the punch strokes until the “layout” proximity switch turns on. Then it
returns until the “top of stroke” proximity switch turns on. This completes a typical layout cycle
(refer to figure 5.2).
• A shear cycle begins with lifting the shear assembly to the shear position. Next, the shear ram
strokes until the “bottom of stroke” proximity switch turns on, indicating the material has been
sheared. At this point the shear returns until the “top of stroke” proximity switch turns on, and
the shear assembly lowers to the pass-through position. This completes a typical shear cycle
(refer to figure 5.4).
When the trailing edge of the material reaches the first (entry) pinch drive, the material will stop
momentarily. The first (entry) pinch drive will open, which activates encoder #2 (on exit pinch drive
assembly). After a short delay, further processing continues (refer to figure 4.1.2).
After all program instructions have been executed, the pinch drive will open and both hold downs
will also open. Any material left in the machine should now be removed following the below
procedures. The machine is now ready to begin processing more material.
WARNING: NEVER REACH THROUGH THE SHEAR BLADES AT ANY TIME FOR ANY
REASON, OR WITH ANY OBJECTS (ESPECIALLY ANY PARTS OF YOUR BODY) IN
ORDER TO REMOVE A PIECE OF MATERIAL. THE MACHINE MUST BE PUT IN THE
“E-STOP” MODE PRIOR TO REACHING INTO THE MACHINE FOR MATERIAL
REMNANT REMOVAL

1.7 Measurement Wheel (Disk) Adjustment Information
The measurement disk height has been pre-set at the factory. However, if adjustment is required for
any reason, refer to figure 1.7.7.1, and as follows for proper procedure.
The measurement wheel should be checked whenever normally scheduled machine maintenance is
performed, or whenever a location problem occurs with the X-axis gauging of holes produced. One
way to check for properly functioning measuring disk height is to load a straight piece of bar stock
(flat or angle) material (at least 48” (1220 mm) long) onto the entry side rollers. Move the material
forward into the machine just far enough so the leading material edge engages the circumference of
the measuring disk and then measure for the approximate 1/4” (6mm) of interference as illustrated in
figure 1.7.1 (next page). If adjustment of the measuring disk is required, proceed as instructed per
this figure.

1.8 Idler Clamp And Pinch Drive Height Adjustment Information
These components have been pre-set to their proper operating heights at the factory. However, if
adjustment or replacement of these components is required for any reason, refer to figure 1.8.1, for
correct shimming heights. For the shimming procedure, a precision straight bar/angle of adequate
length must be used. Prior to initiating the shimming procedure, totally compress the springs of the
measuring disks to avoid having the disks cause interference during the set-up/adjustment procedure
described. Refer to figure 1.7.1 for spring compression details using the adjustment screw/jam nut
shown.
After shimming the pinch drives to their proper height, the idler clamps need to be adjusted to insure
the floating datum will function properly. With the precision straight bar/angle loaded into the
machine, engage one pneumatic clamp and datum cylinder per punch assembly. Release the pinch
drives to allow the clamps to control the material. At this point, the material may float away from the
lower drive wheel of the pinch drive assemblies. Use the adjustment rod on each datum cylinder to
move the material into alignment with the lower drive wheel of both pinch drive assemblies. Tighten
the jam nut against the datum roller plate on both punch assemblies, then release all clamps and
remove the material from the machine.

1.9 Shear Lift/Lower Cylinder Shimming Information
In order for the shear (in the raised position) to be in proper adjustment for correct operation, the
lower blades must contact the underside of the material stock. This parameter has been pre-set at the
factory. This adjustment only needs to be made if the lift/lower cylinders are removed or replaced for
any reason, and is accomplished by the insertion of shim stock as required. Refer to figure 1.9.1 for
illustration of shim stock locations.

1.10 Parts Subject To Wear/Replacement Criteria
Inspect punches and shear blade every 1000 punch and shear cycles. Look for cracking, chipping,
galling and rounding of cutting edges.
REPLACEMENT CRITERIA:
PUNCHES:
Punches must be replaced after repeated cutting-edge sharpening removes a maximum of 3 mm (1/8”)
of punch material or if the hole size (or quality) produced by the punch is no longer acceptable to the
user. If punches are allowed to get shorter by more than this amount, and the punch does not
penetrate the die opening, the punches will still punch through the material; however, the slug created
will hang-up in the material. This creates the problem of preventing the machine from automatically
moving the stuck material and incurring down-time to rectify this situation. It might also cause
machine damage.
SHEAR BLADES:
Shear blades must be replaced after repeated cutting-edge sharpening removes a maximum of 3mm
(1/8”) of blade material or if the quality of the cut edges it produces is no longer acceptable to the
user. Also note; the shear must work much harder when the blades have dull cutting edges, since this
results in the blades attempting to serrate rather than cutting down through the material to be sheared.
This creates additional stress on the shear unit and should be avoided.
1-11
1.11 Punch and Die Changing Procedure
Before performing any routine tool changes on machine, or any related equipment, BE CERTAIN TO
TURN OFF THE CONSOLE’S POWER SWITCH, TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER
DISCONNECT ON THE ELECTRICAL CABINET, AND PUSH THE EMERGENCY (“E”)-STOP
BUTTON CLOSEST TO THE LOCATION OF THE WORK BEING DONE AND FOLLOW
PROPER LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURES BEFORE PROCEEDING. REFER TO FIGURE
4.2 AND SECTION 6.2 FOR DETAILS.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROCEED until shut down procedures above have been followed. In
addition, always remove the punch before changing the mating die.
CHANGING PUNCHES
For removal of punches, use the wrench provided with the machine. For standard tooling (272
punches) use wrench YC3460776. For standard tooling (282 punches) use wrench YC3461415. For
metric tooling (PFP punches) use wrench YC3460775. NOTE: If keys are used with punches, be
sure the key is fully seated in the punch and ram keyseats. Also, the keys may remain stuck in the
ram keyseat and MUST BE REMOVED prior to installing punches without keyseats; this should be
checked every time punches are changed to prevent potential machine/ram damage during subsequent
punching operation.
CHANGING Dies
For removal of dies, first loosen the locking set screw captivating the die within the die pocket and
then insert any small diameter pry bar into the slot of the die pocket to assist changing the die.
NOTE: If installing shaped dies, be sure shaped die orientation matches shaped punch orientation.
Also, when using relieved style dies (as supplied with your machine) be sure to install them with the
small hole facing up.
1-12
1.12 Shear Blade Changing Procedure
NOTE: Use the shear identification diagram and shear-blade data/part numbers given in figure
1.12.1 in conjunction with this page.
1. The upper shear blade must be cycled to remain fully down. Turn off the machine as specified
per the procedure given on the previous page. Remove upper shear blade and re-install new
upper shear blade or existing shear blade as required. Be certain that the clearance between the
upper and lower shear blades is maintained at .008”(0,203mm) to .012”(0,305mm) or adjust for
desired cut quality. DO NOT PERMIT THE UPPER BLADE TO MAKE CONTACT
WITH THE LOWER BLADE. There may be existing shims in between the shear blade and
blade holder. (Refer to diagram on next page for shim placement location.)
2. Cycle the machine before cutting any material. DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF OR NEAR
THE SHEAR UNTIL IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED THAT THE SHEAR BLADES ARE
SET PROPERLY AND THE UPPER AND LOWER SHEAR BLADES DO NOT
CONTACT EACH OTHER.
1. The upper shear blade should be removed per above instructions. Keep any shim stock used with
the upper shear blade. Remove the lower shear blades and re-install them or install new lower
blades. Lower shear blades may be rotated to use second cutting edges. If lower blades are
sharpened, it may be necessary to use shims behind the blades. The distance from the last punch
to the shear must be maintained. THE LOWER BLADES MUST NEVER EXTEND
OUTWARD FAR ENOUGH TO CAUSE INTERFERENCE WITH THE UPPER BLADE
WHEN THE SHEAR IS CYCLED.
2. Re-install the upper blade (THE UPPER SHEAR BLADE HOLDER SHOULD ALREADY BE
IN THE DOWN POSITION). Check the gap between the lower and upper shear blades; it should
be about .008”(0,203mm) to .012”(0,305mm).
3. Cycle the machine before cutting any material. DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF OR NEAR
THE SHEAR UNTIL IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED THAT THE SHEAR BLADES ARE
SET PROPERLY AND THE UPPER AND LOWER SHEAR BLADES DO NOT
CONTACT EACH OTHER.

2.4 Instructions For Safe Dismantling Of Various Machine
Components
NOTE: The Counter Balance Cylinder is used to perform the punch gauging movements required
to locate the tooling in the automatically programmed or manually specified positions to produce
the desired holes / “layout marks” in the material.
1. Secure and support the Bridge Frame assembly by attaching a lifting cable of sufficient size and
capacity from an overhead crane to the Bridge Frame as shown in Figure 2.4.3.1.
NOTICE: The Bridge Frame assembly must be supported by the lifting cable, since as soon as the
Counter Balance cylinder rod is disconnected from the Bridge Frame, (per Step 3.), the
assembly will be in a runaway condition. (Refer to page 2-5 for Punch assembly
weight.)
2. Crack (unscrew fittings slowly) and disconnect the two (2) hydraulic hoses from the Counter
Balance Cylinder. Be prepared to have a suitable container ready to collect the hydraulic oil
released upon disconnection of fittings. Also, be careful to prevent spillage of hydraulic oil
onto the machine, since this may create any number of hazards. Be sure any oil spillage is
entirely cleaned up; on both the machine and the surrounding areas.
3. Unscrew the Counter Balance Cylinder Rod from the Bridge Frame. (Refer to figure 2.4.1.1.,
next page) CAUTION - SEE NOTICE PER STEP 1.
4. Unscrew Counter Balance cylinder attachment screws and carefully remove the Counter
Balance Cylinder.
5. Reverse this procedure when replacing Counter Balance Cylinder or re-assembling these parts
following cylinder maintenance/repairs.

2.4.2 Procedure For Removal Of Punch Cylinder From Bridge-Frame
Typical Per Each Punch Assembly.
NOTE: The punch cylinder performs the hole punching and “layout marking” functions required
as specified by the material processing program/input parameters.
1. Disconnect and remove the hydraulic hoses from the punch cylinder and secure hoses away
from the work area. Be prepared to have a suitable container ready to collect the hydraulic oil
released upon disconnection of the hoses. Plug hose fittings to prevent hydraulic oil spillage
during subsequent dismantling steps. Also, be careful to prevent spillage of hydraulic oil onto
the machine, since this may create any number of hazards. Be sure any oil spillage is entirely
cleaned up; on both the machine and the surrounding areas.
2. Next, remove the Ram Guide-Keys by unscrewing the socket head cap screw located through
the center of the keys.
3. Next, remove the “layout” proximity switch bracket from its mounting location on the Stripper.
The proximity switch should be left assembled to the bracket, since this will allow reassembling
this part without having to spend time recalibrating the proximity switch’s activation location.
4. Next, remove the top hose connection fitting and fully screw in the appropriate lifting eye-bolt
into the top port; (eye-bolt provided in lifting-kit). Connect a lifting cable of sufficient size and
capacity from an overhead crane through the eyebolt. (Refer to figure 2.4.2.1. for punch
cylinder assembly weight.
5. After fully supporting the Punch Cylinder, remove the Punch Cylinder Mounting Screws. The
Punch Stroke Switch Bracket is also attached with these screws, and can be removed leaving
the proximity switches assembled to the bracket.
6. Next, loosen the (4) tie rod nuts joining the punch cylinder to the sidewalls and remove the tie
rods from the punch sidewalls. At this point, the cylinder may still be pinched between the
Bridge Frame Side Plates. If necessary, use a jack to spread the Side Plates slightly.
7. Once the Punch Cylinder is free, proceed to slowly and carefully lift and guide the Punch
Cylinder Assembly along the keyways away from the Bridge Frame. Reverse this procedure
when re-assembling these parts.

2.4.3 Procedure For Removal of Entire Bridge Frame Assembly
Typical For Each Punch Assembly (See Figure 2.4.3.1.)
1. Disconnect and remove the hydraulic hoses from the Punch Cylinder. Be prepared to have a
suitable container ready to collect the hydraulic oil released upon disconnection of the fittings.
Also, be careful to prevent spillage of hydraulic oil onto the machine, since this may create any
number of hazards. Be sure any oil spillage is entirely cleaned up, on both the machine and the
surrounding areas.
2. Disconnect and remove all electrical wires from the Encoder, Proximity Switches, and from the
clips holding them to the Bridge Frame.
3. Disconnect and remove the plastic tubing supplying air to the Pneumatic Clamp Cylinders and
the Datum Cylinder.
4. Remove the Pneumatic Clamp Roller Block Mounting Screws (4) and the Pneumatic Clamp
Cylinder Mounting Screws (4) and move the Clamp assembly away from the working area.
Follow this procedure for both clamps assemblies.
5. Remove the Datum Roller Plate Mounting Screws (8) and Datum Cylinder Mounting Screws
(2). Carefully lift the Datum Roller Assembly away from the work area.
6. Disconnect and remove the Counter Balance Cylinder. Refer to section 2.4.1 to complete this
step.
7. Lastly, proceed to slowly and carefully guide and lift the Bridge Frame Assembly off the guide
rails using crane/lifting cable positioning to accomplish this maneuver.

2.4.4 Procedure For Removal/Replacement Of Shear Assembly
Lift/Lower Cylinders
NOTE: The Shear Assembly Lift/Lower Cylinder’s function is to raise the entire Shear Assembly
during the shearing operation and to lower it during other processing operations.
1. Disconnect and remove the hydraulic hoses from the cylinders. Be prepared to have a suitable
container ready to collect the hydraulic oil released upon disconnection of the fittings. Also, be
careful to prevent spillage of hydraulic oil onto the machine, since this may create any number
of hazards. Be sure any oil spillage is entirely cleaned up, on both the machine and the
surrounding areas.
2. Before disconnecting the Cylinders from their mounting surface, BE SURE TO BLOCK THE
SHEAR BASE WITH A SUITABLE MATERIAL TO PREVENT IT FROM DROPPING
ONTO THE TABLE TOP AND CREATING A HAZARDOUS SITUATION; (Refer to figure
2.4.4.1.) Then remove the cylinder by unscrewing the four attachment screws. NOTE: When
assembled and in the lowered position, the Shear Assembly is always held approximately 1/4”
above the table top, therefore, this space must be blocked before any maintenance to the Shear
lift/lower cylinder begins.

5.2.1 Punch Electrical Switch Adjustment Procedure
The top and bottom of stroke proximity switches must be set to actuate when the punch cylinder
reaches its extreme upward and downward motion. In addition, the top proximity switch, when
actuated, also permits the material to move in the X-Axis, unless using the short stroke option.
With punch cylinder stroked fully down, loosen and slide lower proximity switch upward
until it actuates. Fasten at that location.
With punch cylinder retracted fully up, loosen and slide upper proximity switch
downward until it actuates. Fasten at that location.
With the punch cylinder retracted fully up, adjust the short stroke proximity switch
downward until it actuates. Fasten at that location.
NOTE: Adjustment of the layout mark proximity switch may affect the proper functioning of the
stripper.
The punch-cylinders can be programmed to perform a layout mark on the inside leg of
the angle being processed. Flats can also be programmed to receive a layout mark on
their top surface via programming of the “Z” axis punch cylinder. The depth of the
layout mark can be set by adjusting the proximity switch’s location relative to the target
pin. To obtain a deeper layout mark, loosen the proximity switch from its mounting
bracket slot and move the switch slightly downward (nearer) to the material being
marked. Secure proximity switch in new position. Test cycle the adjusted punch axis,
remove the material from the machine and check if the depth of the mark is satisfactory.
If a shallower layout mark is desired, follow same procedure as above except move the
proximity switch slightly upward (away) from the material being marked. For location of
layout mark proximity switch, refer to section “5.2 Punch Cylinder Control Switches”.
Please note that the switches have been pre-set at the factory. After all proximity switches have
been properly set as instructed above, make certain each proximity switch is securely fastened to
the mounting bracket before initiating production with the machine.

6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
6.1 Lubrication
The primary lubricants used on this “Peddimat” PC/CNC system are as follows:
MOLYCOTE BR2 GREASE applied by grease gun, brush, or hand packed. (Moly-disulfide
paste grease).
ISO GRADE 100 (ACME #100) CHAIN OIL applied by brush or spout can.
The following figures show the recommended lubrication procedures and time schedule. It is
suggested that a lubrication log be kept by the user.

6.1.8 Cone Drive Gear Reducer
Lubricating oils for use in gear units should be high quality well-refined petroleum oils. They
must not be corrosive to gears, to ball, roller, or sleeve bearings; they must be neutral in reaction;
free from grit or abrasives; and have good defoaming properties. As they may be subject to high
operating temperatures, they must have good resistance to oxidation.
For worm gears, additions of 3 percent to 10 percent of acidless tallow or similar animal fats are
desirable.
Ambient Temperature
The recommended oils for use in an ambient temperature range of approximately 15 degrees to
125 degrees F with the low end of the range depending upon the pour point of the specific oil
used. If the ambient temperature will be below or above this range, please contact Cone Drive for
specific recommendations on proper lubricant as well as proper oil seal and shim materials.
The maximum recommended oil sump temperature is 200 degrees F. Where reducers will be
used at maximum ambient and at full catalog rating, contact Cone Drive for lubrication
recommendations.
Sludge
It is necessary that the oil is clean and free from sludge at all times to obtain long life from a gear
unit.
Sludge in gear units may be caused by excessive heat, from dust and dirt and other contaminates
and by the presence of moisture or chemical fumes. Therefore, every precaution should be taken
to prevent water and foreign particles from entering the gear case.
The oil in a new unit should be drained at the end of two weeks’ operation and the case
thoroughly flushed with light flushing oil. The original oil can be used for refilling if it has been
filtered; otherwise, new oil must be used. After this, a change of oil every 2500 hours of
operation or every six months, whichever occurs first, is recommended for units under favorable
conditions. Where operating conditions are severe, such as a rapid rise and fall in temperature of
the gear case with accompanied sweating of the inside walls and resulting formation of sludge, or
where operation is in moist or dusty atmospheres, or in the presence of chemical fumes, it may be
necessary to change the oil at intervals of one to three months.
Oil Level
6-9
Cone Drive reducers are furnished with either a “bull’s eye” type sight glass or a bronze or
yellow pipe plug to indicate oil level. In either case, an oil level tag is affixed to the unit near the
oil level indicator. Oil level should always be checked with the unit stopped.
After assembly, all reducers are test run with a rust inhibiting oil and drained. This oil coats all
internal parts and will protect the reducer for a period of 30 days. If the unit is to be stored longer
than 30 days, please contact Cone Drive for storage instructions.
6-10
6.1.9 Pneumatic Lubrication
• Filling-Inlet pressure must be eliminated before fill plug is removed. SHUT OFF AIR
SUPPLY and depressurize the unit by turning the self-venting regulator to zero pressure. Fill
to fill line on the bowl with oil of 100 to 200 SSU viscosity at 100 degrees F and an aniline
point greater than 200 degrees F - same as SAE No. 10 (petroleum based hydraulic oils or
spindle oils are good examples). DO NOT USE OILS WITH ADHESIVES OR TACKY
ADDITIVES. COMPOUNDED OILS CONTAINING SOLVENTS, GRAPHITE, SOAPS
OR DETERGENTS (automotive oils generally contain detergents) ARE NOT
RECOMMENDED.
• Replace the fill plug and seat firmly - excessive torque is not necessary. The lubricator is
now ready for setting. Repressurize the lubricator.
• OIL DELIVERY ADJUSTMENT - adjust oil delivery, use a slotted screwdriver to turn the
adjusting screw in the top of the lubricator.
By counting the number of drops per minute in the sight dome, you can adjust your requirements.
Approximately 3% of the drops seen in sight dome go downstream; adjust drip rate accordingly.
Consult the oil delivery conversion chart.
25 drops per minute equals one ounce (.03 liters) per hour - volume of oil passing through sight
dome.
NOTE: This is a constant density type lubricator which delivers a constant ratio of oil to air
flow. Therefore, if air flow increases or decreases, oil delivery will be adjusted proportionately.
ONLY IF A DIFFERENT RATIO IS DESIRED SHOULD YOUR NEEDLE VALVE SETTING
BE CHANGED AFTER YOUR INITIAL SETTING.
6-11
Your “PEDDIMAT” PC/CNC system has an intermittent pneumatic usage. Because of this, the
lubricator is set for a steady dripping of oil. Oil is used only on demand of air, so the oil reservoir
should be checked on a weekly basis.
6-12
Filter Draining
• Both free moisture and solids are removed automatically by the filter. There are no moving
parts.
• Manual drain filters must be drained regularly before the separated moisture and oil reaches
the bottom of the lower baffle. Automatic drain models will collect and dump liquids
automatically.
• The filter element should be removed and replaced when a working pressure of 75 psi (5 bar)
can no longer be set with the regulator.
6-13
• To remove the filter element: SHUT OFF AIR SUPPLY and depressurize the unit by
turning the self-venting regulator to 0 (zero) pressure.
∗ Unscrew lower baffle and remove filter element and gaskets (2).
∗ Clean all internal parts, blow and element before reassembling. See polycarbonate
bowl cleaning section below.
∗ Replace bowl seal; lubricate seal to assist in retaining it in position. Use only mineral
base oils or grease. Do NOT use synthetic oils such as esters and do NOT use
silicones.
Bowl guards are recommended for added protection of polycarbonate bowls where chemical
attack may occasionally occur.

6.2.5 Fasteners
In order to maintain the proper operation and safety of Peddimat PC/CNC systems, it is important
to understand the use of fasteners in their design.
During the repair or re-assembly of any components, it is important to replace all fasteners as
they were originally installed; having same grade, tensile, strength and torque installation values.
6-16
• Hex head capscrews are to be at least SAE GRADE 5 or better, with the following minimum:
tensile strengths, based on screw size:
Up to 3/4” diameter (inclusive) = 120,000 psi (827 N/mm2)
Over 3/4” to 1” diameter (inclusive) = 115,000 psi (792 N/mm2)
Over 1” to 1-1/2” diameter (inclusive) = 105,000 psi (724 N/mm2)
• Socket head capscrews are UNBRAKO brand from SPS Technologies* (or equal) and are a
minimum of 180,000 PSI tensile strength (1,241 N/mm2).
• Lockwashers, flatwashers, cotter pins, and roll pins must be replaced and found.
• Fasteners that require a special torque applied will be indicated as such on additional

6.2.6 Loctite
Fasteners are loctited to assure proper and safe machine operation. The maintenance department
should not neglect these practices during the repair or re-assembly of any Peddimat system.
Be certain to follow all instructions and safety precautions as stated by the Loctite Corporation**
when using their products or an equivalent product.
Normal machine operation may cause a loosening of some fasteners, or maintenance may require
the removal of some fasteners. These may be re-assembled with loctite as follows:
• For fasteners smaller than 1/4” thread, loctite #222 purple may be used.
• For fasteners 1/4” thread and larger that are made of high strength alloy (UNBRAKO type)
use loctite #262 red if additional maintenance sheets indicate the use of this loctite.
• Loctite acts as a lubricant and torque values should be based on this fact.
• On blind threaded holes, place the loctite into the hole not on the fastener.
• Because of the setting time of loctite, use primer “N” for maintenance applications.
• Pneumatic/Hydraulic Seal 545 may be used to secure and seal air and hydraulic lines. USE
TEFLON TAPE ON ACETYLENE OR OXYGEN FITTINGS, DO NOT USE LOCTITE
SEAL 545 OR PST.

6.2.8 Painting
The color scheme of Peddinghaus Corp. Peddimat PC/CNC systems uses several types of acrylic
and acrylic enamel paints. Although it may not be possible to achieve the same original factory
paint appearance, following are some guidelines to assist with any general repainting that might
be required.
• Green coating 10-2-098 non-lead by Jordan’s Paint Manufacturing of Forest Park, Illinois or
equivalent coating.
• Green coating for electrical cabinets and standup Peddimat machines is acrylic enamel (for
high gloss).
• 1200° F high temperature black (wherever this paint was originally used).
• The Peddimat purchaser may have specified a certain color or paint other than our standard.
• The quality of the paint product assures ease of clean up for good housekeeping.
• High temperature black offers component protection for certain components which operate at
above ambient temperatures. It is also used where thin coat paint protection is required.
Repainting
If repainting is required, follow the original machine paint scheme, and use the following as
guidelines.
• Orange machine elements should remain that color for general machine safety.
• Use high temperature paints where above ambient temperatures are encountered.
6-20
• Do not allow paint to get into bushings, shafts, rotating or sliding mechanisms, or on
guideways. Do not paint on grease fittings or openings.
• Do not allow paint to get into electrical components, control buttons, limit or proximity
switches, or switch light reflectors.
• Do not paint over any warning signs, labels, product identification, control tags, instructions,
or air filters.
• Paint should never interfere with the intended function of the machine or cause an unsafe
operating condition.

6.4.2 Hose, Tube and Pipe Specifications
The following component specifications are required as minimums when replacing any hose,
tubes, or pipes on your “Peddimat” PC/CNC system.
6-22
6.4.3 Hydraulic Reservoir
The replacement filter numbers are found on the filter canister itself. The filter has a clogged
filter indicator that will rise when the filter is not clean.
Prior to changing the hydraulic oil (or performing any maintenance work), the machine must be
shut off and any accumulators must be drained/relieved. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Proceed as follows to drain/relieve any accumulators on the
machine:
The first quantity of hydraulic oil installed must be changed after 1000 working hours (see hour
meter located in switch cabinet). Future hydraulic oil changes must be performed after 2000
hours or no later than one (1) year. The power-unit reservoir holds 80 gallons (303 liters) of
hydraulic oil.
Suggested hydraulic oils are selected for their properties of viscosity range, anti-wear, oxidation
resistance, and foam inhibitors.
Upon installation, all hydraulic functions are cycled manually to remove trapped air from the
system. “Top Off” the reservoir fluid level to maximum “Full” in the sight gauge indicator
before automatic operation.
Under normal operating conditions, temperature rise, and average ambient humidity, operational
life is about 2000 hours. If the neutralization number (total acid number) reaches or exceeds a
value of 2.0, the oil has become corrosive and should be changed regardless of running time.
Should the oil level sink below the minimum mark, then the tank must be immediately
replenished.
6-23
6.4.7 Hydraulic Power Unit
Pressure adjustments on the hydraulic power-pack and the hydraulic pump are only to be made by
Peddinghaus customer service engineers or by authorized personnel. (See figure 6.4.7.1 - on
following page for adjustment procedure). Any work of this nature carried out by unauthorized
persons will mean that the machine warranty will terminate immediately.
Install a new filter after 1000 hours of operation and replace thereafter when the dirty filter
indicator is observed on the power unit.

6.9 Maintenance Log
6-30
7. Misc. Tech/Trouble-Shooting Info.
Hydraulic Oil
Dirty Oil
Foaming Oil
• Low oil level (return to tank line not below fluid level).
Moisture in Oil
• Soluble oil solutions splashed into improperly sealed sump or fill-pipes left open.
• Sediment not drained from sump at frequent enough intervals, to remove water collected
over possibly long operating periods.
7-1
Overheating of System
• Excessive slippage or internal leakage (check stall leakage past pump, motors, and cylinders).
Pumps
• Check for vacuum leaks in the suction line (such as a leak in fittings or damaged suction
line).
• Check for vacuum leaks in the pump shaft-seal. Flooding connections with fluid being
pumped may cause the noise to stop or abate momentarily, thus locating the point of air entry.
• Check alignment with drive mechanism. Misalignment will cause wear and subsequent high
noise level in operation.
• Reversed rotation.
• Oil viscosity too high or operating temperature too low. Air leak in suction line or fittings
also causing irregular movement of control devices.
• Oil level too low and drawing air in through inlet pipe opening.
• Air leak in suction line and preventing priming. Oil viscosity too high (operating temperature
too low).
• Dirt in pump.
• Abrasive dirt in the hydraulic oil being circulated through the system.
Hydraulic pump failures are caused primarily by poor maintenance, bad repair, or exceeding the
operating limits of the pump. Though pumps wear out through normal usage, few failures are
caused by old age.
Most hydraulic pumps fail because of contaminated or improper fluid. Solid particles of sand,
dirt, lint, and grit in fluid act as an abrasive on the pump’s closely fitted parts. Water and other
7-3
foreign liquids cause rust and corrosion of the pump parts and housings. The rust tends to flake
into the fluids, adds to its abrasive content, causing more wear and increasing internal leakage.
The pump’s reduced efficiency is the result.
Sludge in the system contributes to pump failures. It is formed by the chemical reaction of
hydraulic fluid to excessive temperatures and condensation. It builds up on internal parts and
eventually plugs the pump. If it plugs the pump’s inlet, the pump will cavitate and freeze because
of friction and heat. Selection of fluid viscosity is extremely important. Always use the fluid
with the viscosity rating’s specified and always use a good grade fluid.
Solenoid Valves
Solenoid Fails
• Voltage too low. If voltage will not complete the stroke of the alternating current
solenoid, it will burn out the coil.
• Signal to both solenoids of a double solenoid valve simultaneously. One or both of the
valves will be unable to complete their stroke and will burn out.
• Covers lift off solenoids, allowing cast iron dust or metallic chips to collect within the
magnetic field. Device cannot complete stroke and solenoid burns out.
• Push-pin peens to a point where it is not long enough to actuate the valve (replace with
new pin).
• Tight spool or other mechanical parts of the valve being actuated can prevent the solenoid
from completing its stroke and subsequently burning out.
• Is there an electrical signal to the solenoid or operating device? Is the voltage too
low? (Check with voltmeter or test-light in emergency).
• Is the solenoid push-pin shifting the pilot-spool far enough? (After considerable
service the push-pin or other parts may have been worn enough to prevent sufficient
spool movement).
7-4
• Has foreign matter jammed the main spool? (Remove end caps and see that main
spool is free in its movements, remember that there will be a quantity of fluid
escaping when the cap is removed. The operator should provide a container to catch
it).
• Is pilot-drain restricted? (Remove pilot-drain and let the fluid pour into an open
container while the machine is again tried for normal operation. Refer to circuit
diagram for possible routing of internal lines and possible blockage).
• Is pilot pressure available? (Check with gauge on main pressure input port for
internally piloted pipes and in the supply line to the externally piloted pipe).
• Is fluid media excessively hot? (Check for localized heating which may indicate an
internal leak. Also, check reservoir temperature to see if it is within the machine
specifications).
• Is there foreign matter in the fluid media causing gumming deposits? (Check for
contamination. To make sure that fluid is compatible, refer to machine specs).
• Is an adequate supply of fluid being delivered to actuate the load? (It is possible to
have sufficient pressure to shift the valve, but insufficient pressure to actuate the
workload).
• Check circuit for possible safety interlocks on pressure sources to valve or to pilot
section.
Filters
The key to good filtration is filter maintenance. A machine may be equipped with the best filters
available and they may be positioned in the system where they do the most good, but if the filters
are not taken care of and cleaned when dirty, the money spent for the filters and their installation
has been wasted. A filter can be no better than the maintenance afforded to it. The following
maintenance suggestions are included as an aid for the user.
Maintenance Suggestions
• Inspect filter elements that have been removed from the system for signs of failure which
may indicate the service intervals should be shortened and of impending system problems.
(Periodic inspection of the filter element in a new machine is desirable, to determine the
proper replacement interval).
• DO NOT return to the system any fluid that has leaked out.
• Use clean containers, hoses, and funnels when filling the reservoir.
7-5
• Use common sense precautions to prevent entry of dirt into components that have been
temporarily removed from the circuit.
• Make sure that all cleanout-holes, filter-caps, and breather-cap-filters on the reservoir are
properly fastened.
• Make certain that the fluid used in the system is that which is specified by Peddinghaus
Corporation.
• Before changing from one type of fluid to another (for example, from petroleum based oil to
a fire-resistant-fluid) contact Peddinghaus Corporation. Fire-resistant-fluid CANNOT be
substituted for hydraulic oil on most standard Peddinghaus power units.

7.1.2 TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE & MAINTENANCE HINTS
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
General
The trouble shooting charts and maintenance hints that follow are of a general system nature but
provide an intuitive feeling for a specific system. The more general information is covered in the
immediately following paragraphs. Effect and probable cause charts appear on the following pages.
System Design
There is, of course, little point in discussing the design of a system that has been operating satisfactorily
for a period of time. However, a seemingly uncomplicated procedure such as relocating a system or
changing a component part can cause problems. Because of this, the following points should be
considered:
A. Each component in the system must be compatible with and form an integral part of the system.
For example, an inadequate size filter on inlet of a pump can cause cavitation and subsequent
damage to the pump.
B. All lines must be of proper size and free of restrictive bends. An undersized or restricted line
results in a pressure drop in the line itself.
C. Some components must be mounted in a specific position with respect to other components or the
lines. The housing on an in-line pump, for example, must remain filled with fluid to provide
lubrication.
D. The inclusion of adequate test points for pressure readings, although not essential for operation, will
expedite trouble-shooting.
Probably the greatest aid to trouble-shooting is the confidence of knowing the system. The construction
and operating characteristics of each one should be understood. For example, knowing that a solenoid
controlled directional valve can be manually actuated will save considerable time in isolating a
defective solenoid. Some additional practices which will increase your ability and the useful life of the
system follow:
A. Know the capabilities of the system. Each component in the system has a maximum rated speed,
torque, or pressure. Loading the system beyond the specifications simply increases the possibility
of failure.

B. Know the correct operating pressures. Always set and check pressures with a gauge. How else can
you know if the operating pressure is above the maximum rating of the components? The question
may arise as to what the correct operating pressure is. If it isn’t correctly specified on the hydraulic
schematic, the following rule should be applied:
The correct operating pressure is the lowest pressure that will allow adequate performance of the
system functions and still remain below the maximum rating of the components and
machine.
C. Once the correct pressures have been established, note them on the hydraulic schematic for future
reference.
D. Know the proper signal levels, feedback levels, and dither and gain settings in servo control
systems. If they aren’t specified, check them when the system is functioning correctly and mark
them on the schematic for future reference.
Analyze the system and develop a logical sequence for setting valves, mechanical stops, interlocks, and
electrical controls. Tracing of flow paths can often be accomplished by listening for flow in the lines or
feeling them for warmth. Develop a cause and effect trouble-shooting guide similar to the charts
appearing on the following pages. The initial time spent on such a project could save hours of system
downtime.
The ability to recognize trouble indications in a specific system is usually acquired with experience.
However, a few general trouble indications can be discussed.
A. Excessive heat means trouble. A misaligned coupling places an excessive load on bearings and can
be readily identified by the heat generated. A warmer than normal tank return line on a relief valve
setting. Hydraulic fluids that have a low viscosity will increase the internal leakage of components
resulting in a heat rise. Cavitation and slippage in a pump will also generate heat.
B. Excessive noise means wear, misalignment, cavitation or air in the fluid. Contaminated fluid can
cause a relief valve to stick and chatter. These noises may be the result of dirty filters, or fluid, high
fluid viscosity, excessive drive speed, low reservoir level, loose intake lines, or worn couplings.
Maintenance
Three simple maintenance procedures have the greatest effect on hydraulic system performance,
efficiency, and life. Yet, the very simplicity of them may be the reason they are so often overlooked.
What are they? Simply these:
A. Maintaining a clean sufficient quantity of hydraulic fluid of the proper type and viscosity.
C. Keeping all connections tight, but not to the point of distortion, so that air is excluded from the
system.

2. Turn both clockwise each 1/2 turn at a time until you reach the maximum pressure that you
wish to set the system.
3. Turn the horsepower control clockwise 1/2 turn more to see if it has an effect on pressure; in
other words, get control over to the compensator. Tune compensator down or up to set the
correct maximum system pressure.
4. Back the horsepower control all the way out. If you don’t know what horsepower you are
looking for, start at the lowest setting and make small adjustments up using method A or B.
II. Slowly restrict the pump outlet and record the Amp draw at several points.
III. If Amp draw exceeds maximum desired, turn HP control counterclockwise. If Amp
draw is lower than desired at all points, turn control clockwise and repeat test.
B) To set input HP from an internal combustion drive is much more cumbersome. An accurate
flow meter (± 1 GPM full range) is required as is an accurate pressure gauge and a needle
valve. Set-up is shown below.
I. Slowly close needle valve, making note of flow rate at several different pressures.

II. Using formula:
III. If results are lower on ALL points than desired, adjust HP control clockwise and repeat. If
results are higher on ANY point, adjust HP control counterclockwise.
NOTE: The more data points taken, the more accurate the resulting setting.

7.2 Causes of Broken Punch Ends or Punch Heads
Improper Stripping
Punch ends or heads are usually broken off as a result of improper stripping. For good stripping,
the stripper must contact the material in at least two points, 180° apart, in line with the punch.
Both points must contact the material simultaneously. If only one point contacts the material, for
example, if punching on the end of a part, the punch will be snapped off during stripping.
Punching a small hole through very thick material, exceeding the compressive strength of the
punch, will cause the punch end to expand and break. The break ordinarily happens before the
punch enters the material but sometimes a slight expansion during the punch cycle will cause the
punch to break as it is being stripped. Swelling of the punch end can usually be measured to
indicate this type of failure. (See Diameter to Thickness Charts for preventing this type of
problem.)
Punching exceptionally hard material usually results in a severe breakthrough shock that, in some
cases, will cause the punch head to break off. We recommend that material having a shear
strength greater than 100,000 PSI not be punched, which would mean that the tensile strength of
the same material would be approximately 135,000 PSI. Examples of hard material that we do
not recommend punching would be C-1090, grader and snow plow blade material, and non-
annealed spring steel. Under special conditions, such material can possibly be punched, but the
factory must be contacted. Special punch units are needed for this application. We do not
guarantee punches being used on re-rolled rail stock since there is no way of telling when a hard
spot will be encountered.

7.3 Causes of Premature Wear on Punches and Dies
Many punches are not normally worn out, but they are damaged by having the punch misaligned
with the die. Misalignment causes the punch to shear into the die, and makes the punch appear as
though it was naturally worn; however, the damage usually appears on only one side of the punch
and die. To correct this problem, make sure that the punch and die are properly aligned and tight
in the press.
Insufficient Clearance
Insufficient clearance between the punch and die for a given thickness of material will cause
excessive wear. Proper clearance decreases the amount of force required to strip the material
from the punch. If there is insufficient clearance, the stripping force will be as great as 10-20% of
the punching force. However, if there is proper clearance, the stripping force will drop to
approximately 3% of the punching force. Since wear is usually proportional to the applied force,
it is obvious that the proper clearance will greatly increase the life of the punch. Cutting oil or
die lubricant is recommended for punching, wherever possible, to reduce wear and galling.
Normal clearance should be approximately 8-10% of thickness of material being punched.
Nibbling
Nibbling or punching just a part of a hole, using a standard punch, will cause the punch to be
thrust sideways and shear into the die.
If a hard and/or abrasive material is being punched, a punch made from a better grade of tool
steel, for example, high-speed steel, should be used. However, using a standard steel punch with
a good grade of cutting oil will extend the life considerably. Cutting oil or die lubricant is
recommended for punching and shearing wherever possible.
Shaped punches having sharp corners, such as squares and rectangles, have their corners broken
down prematurely as a result of punching hard, thick material. Under such conditions, the
corners on the punches should be ground with a radius, or a 45° chamfer to eliminate the very
sharp sensitive corners. The size of the radius or chamfer depends upon the hardness of the
material being punched. For example: when punching a ¾” square hole in ½” thick C-1045
material, corners of the square should be broken approximately 1/16”.
7-16
Soft Material
Soft materials, such as copper and aluminum tend to stick to the punch and gall. Lubricating the
material and punch with a good grade of cutting fluid will increase the life of the punch and die.
Increasing the die clearance will also prolong tool life and reduce the stripping force. Soft
materials may also be damaged by the various clamps and rollers on the machine.
The number of holes between sharpenings varies with the type and thickness of material. Fifty
thousand holes can be pierced before sharpening on thin sheet metal while as few as 500 holes
can be expected on heavy material, such as 1” thick. A punch and die should be sharpened at a
point where a sharp cutting edge can be restored after grinding .015”. If they are used beyond
this point, the wear increases rapidly and greatly reduces the number of holes pierced per punch.
