How to check the measurements on a cutting machine.
Do the following measurements in the order shown:
- Position a piece of glass on the table and cut a large square.
- Do not move the glass after cutting it must stay in the same position on the cutting table.
- Now measure to see if the square that the machine cut is a right angle square, the diagonals
must be equal in length. - Measure the front cut of the square to the front leading edge of the sheet.
Results:
• Is the square that was cut a right angle square ?
#1 Measurements = _______________ / _______________
• Is the front cut parallel to the leading glass edge?
#2 Measurements = _______________ / _______________
If square that was cut was not at a right angle (diagonal measurements are NOT even) then there could be a few issues related to this. See below for some items to inspect and resolutions:
1) The C-axis is not set up correctly or there is something bent in the cutting head. For a Rapidline with Bystronic cutting head see Rapidline - C-Axis Setup Document for more information. For an Optimax, Galactic or Rapidline (with Optimax cutting head) see the Optimax - C-axis Setup Document.
2) The bridge is not square. To square the bridge for a Rapidline or Galactic see Squaring the Bridge Document. To square the bridge on an Optimax see Optimax - Bridge Mechanical Adjustment (no shaft) Document.
3) There is too much play in the pinion gears (only applies to rack and pinon machine). To check the backlash see Optimax - Checking Backlash Document.
If the two trim measurements are not even then there could be a few issues related to this. See below for some items to inspect and resolutions:
1) The C-axis is not set up correctly or there is something bent in the cutting head. For a Rapidline with Bystronic cutting head see Rapidline - C-Axis Setup Document for more information. For an Optimax, Galactic or Rapidline (with Optimax cutting head) see the Optimax - C-axis Setup Document.
2) The bridge is not square (only applies to machines using glass edge sensor). To square the bridge for a Rapidline: RAPIDLINE - Squaring the Bridge Document. To square the bridge for a Galactic: GALACTIC - Squaring the Bridge Document. To square the bridge for a Galactic Plus: GALACTIC PLUS - Squaring the Bridge Document
3) The squaring stops are worn out or are uneven causing the glass to shift when squared.
