Precision slide guiding is maintained by the close-tolerance eight-point gibbing arrangement. Front and rear gibs are accurately squared with the press bed and set for proper clearance by laminated spacers under each main gib bolt, thus eliminating trial and error adjustment.
Front-to-back ways have fixed bronze wear plates, machined square with the slide face.
Left-to-right ways are adjusted and supported their full length by tapered back-up bars. The extra-long gibs guide the slide fully within the gibs throughout the stroke -- even at maximum shutheight adjustments. This assures excellent slide-to-bed parallelism at al times, contributing to clean material fracture, high part accuracy, and increased die life. The slide and bolster are machined with standard T-slots.Return to Features Menu
