maintenance cost of the equipment, please have the operators and engineers
read this Manual thoroughly and carefully before operating the machine.
IMPORTANT:
It is the duty of both employer and employees to acquaint themselves
with the safe working practices contained in this manual and ensure
that all operators adopt these practices.
To ensure safe operation, guards are provided for the work stations.
NEVER REMOVE THESE GUARDS. If any guards are damaged or
worn out, replace immediately with new guards.
While every effort has been made to furnish sufficient safe guards, this
equipment, if not operated and maintained properly, has the potential to
cause serious injury or death. A thorough knowledge of the machine and
operating with carefulness is the best protection against accidents.
All operations are controlled by the foot switch. The operator should be
familiar with the control and function of the switch before perform the
operation.
Many warning labels are fixed on the machine. NEVER REMOVE
THESE LABELS. Be sure to follow these warnings to avoid injury.
Please also pay attention to the following general rules:
1. Do not operate the machine unless the stripper is in place. Use of
optional attachments/tooling should also have proper hold-downs and
guards installed.
2.

The machine only requires the normal industrial concrete foundation. If the
ground is uneven and the machine vibrates during operation, use foundation
bolts to tighten the machine firmly to the ground or alternatively mount the
machine on anti-vibration pads.
IMPORTANT:
Maintain a spacious working area around the machine for safety.
Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
Clean the scraps and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work
area is free of obstructing objects.
Keep the ground free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure
that they will not extend into any gangways.
Crowded, poorly illuminated or slippery area are often causes for
accidents.
Remove all anti-corrosion grease after installing the machine. Check that
the oil reservoir, located in the machine base, has been properly filled.
When refilling oil, use recommended oil and fill the reservoir to the upper
level of the oil level gauge.
Connecting Power Supply
Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician. Before
connecting the electrical supply, make sure the voltage and current is
compatible to the electrical components in the machine. Check the data

Sunrise Fluid Power Inc. is the market leader in providing low pressure tool
alignment setting on its products. When the NORMAL/JOG switch is
turned to JOG mode, the machine provides a low pressure and low speed
setting for safer tool alignment operation. This will reduce tool damages
due to miss-alignment of tools and increase the operator safety. If a
material is placed under the punch in JOG mode, the punch will only make
a dent on the material without punching through. In addition, the punch
cylinder will only move downward when the foot paddle is pressed, and
will not retract backup when the foot paddle is released. Turn the
NORMAL/JOG switch to NORMAL to move the cylinder upward.
WARNING: for ease of tool alignment, the stripper cover is allowed to
open in JOG mode. Even with the low pressure setting, be sure to
keep all body parts away from moving parts, wear appropriate eye
protection goggles and gloves for eye and hand protection. The JOG
mode is a keyed switch, and only properly trained and authorized
personnel should have access to the key and use the machine with JOG
mode.
The machine uses a foot switch for easy and fast operation control. The
foot switch enables the operator to use the machine while holding the work
piece with both hands. NEVER has one operator hold the material and
another operator press the foot switch.
The foot switch has three positions: UP, HALFWAY and DOWN.
UP position is when you release the foot switch completely.
HALFWAY position is when you press or release the foot switch halfway.
DOWN position is when you press the foot switch all the way down.
When not pressed, an internal spring pushes the switch to the UP position.
The foot switch functions differently in the NORMAL and the JOG modes.
In NORMAL mode
downward motion of the slide. Release the foot switch to HALFWAY
position will cause the slide to stop. This is very useful in position the
work piece without using the gauge stoppers. Press the foot switch again
to Down position and the slide will continue moving downward until
reaching the lowest position set by the limit switches. Releasing the foot
switch completely (UP position) will cause the slide to return to its up
position.
In JOG mode
, press the foot switch to the DOWN position for the
downward motion of the slide. The slide stops moving when the foot
switch is released to either HALFWAY position or UP position. The slide
does not move back up even when foot switch is completely released. This
allows the operator to make necessary adjustment / alignment. In other
words, the slide moves only in one direction in JOG mode. To move the
slide back to the up position, switch the Normal/Jog switch to NORMAL.
Certain working operations do not require a full working stroke. For large
quantities of the same operation, merely execute the required working
stroke distance to save operating time. The position and length of the
cylinder strokes are controlled by limit switches and actuators on a drive
bar installed inside the back panel of machine. There are two limit
switches, one for the upper limit and one for the lower limit. Adjust the
length of stroke by shifting the position of the actuator mount on the drive
bar. See Figure.
IMPORTANT:
reaches the full extend or full extract position. In other words, the pump
should be unloaded in upper or lower limit of the slide travel. Fail to do so can overload the motor and damaging the pump. If the pump is not in
unloading position at either upper or lower limit, a loud noise is heard from
the pump. Immediately turn the machine off and adjust the limit switch
actuators to set the proper stroke movement.
The limit switch must be actuated before the Cylinder
The alignment of the punch cylinder ram is guided by a "bronze guide pad"
inside the cylinder cast. When the ram is loose and starts to swivel or
when the ram is misaligned (not square with the die base), the punch ram
should be adjusted.
To adjust the punch ram, follow these steps:
1) Remove the two locking nuts located on the left side of the cylinder
cast.
2) Adjust the two adjusting screws to lightly press the guide pad onto the
ram.
3) Check the adjustment by moving the ram up and down with non-round
(oblong or square) punches and dies. The ram should be moving
smoothly and without any gaps.
The machine is equipped with one set of Ø20mm round punch and die.
Many other punching tools of different sizes are also available upon request.
In addition, a large 2-piece support table with gauges is installed as
standard equipment. Measuring scales on the table enable accurate
positioning.
IMPORTANT:
operation. On some models with an interlock limit switch inside the
stripper back cover, the punching station is IMMOBILIZED if the stripper
is open.
Alignment of Punch and Die
The punch and the die may have previously been centered. However, you
should check the tools regularly for proper alignment. To center the die,
follow these steps:
1) Insert Punch into Retaining Nut, then tighten the nut onto the Retaining
Thread.
2) Insert the Die into the Holder and secure the set screw.
3) Loosen all of the die holder fixing bolts
4) Lower the punch gradually (by using the JOG mode).
WARNING: Be very careful that the punch does not hit the die
which can break the punch and create a hazard.
5) After the punch is inside the die, turn power off and isolate the machine.
6) Adjust the position of the Die Holder until the Clearance around the
punch and die is even all the way around.
7) Tighten the die holder bolts to fix the die position.
8) Adjust the limit switches to change the stroke length if necessary.
When setting up square or oblong punches and dies, be sure to properly
locate the key on top of the punch in the keyway of the punch retaining
thread. Check carefully the alignment (both position and direction) of the
die with the punch. Incorrect set up will damage the punch and die, and
may cause danger.
Be sure to check the alignment of the punch and die
whenever tools are changed.
Punch and Die Clearance
Punch size is the same as the desired hole size. Die size is bigger by the
clearance. The clearance depends on the thickness of the material. The
clearance is usually about 10% of the material thickness. Please also refer
to the following chart for recommend clearance.
Material Thickness mm up to 4 4 - 9 9 – 14 14 - 20
Die Clearance mm
0.2 0.7 1.2 1.7
Adjusting Stripper
The distance between the stripper and the material should be adjusted
to about 2~3mm. Adjust the stripper height each time when changing
to material of different thickness.
Adjust the stripper height by turning the large knurled screws at both
sides of the stripper.
If the stripper tend to fall down at the right side, tighten the spring at
the left side of stripper.
Make sure the stripper is at even height for left and right sides. The
stripper should be adjusted so that the work-piece contact the stripper
evenly when the punch retracts out of the material. Unbalanced
stripping may break the punch and cause hazard.
If the material cannot have adequate contact with the stripper when
stripping, such as asymmetrical material, material too small, or punched
hole too close to the edge of material, do not proceed with the punching
operation.
The stripper has exchangeable plates with various opening sizes to match
the size of the hole. Select the plate with the smallest suitable opening.
Keeping the opening close to the size of punch will greatly reduce
deformation, especially on thinner materials.
The actual force required in a punching operation is calculated by the
circumference of the hole multiplied by the thickness of material multiplied
by tensile strength of material.
Max. Capacity = circumference x thickness x tensile strength
The capacity chart is based on material with 45 kg/mm2 tensile. Do not
attempt a punching operation that requires force over the maximum
capacity of the machine.
Precaution
1) Always use die with the proper clearance.
2) Always check the alignment after each tool change.
3) To prevent overloading and breakage of the punch, do not punch
material which is thicker than the hole diameter,
4) Do not punch partial holes. Punching incomplete holes will cause the
punch and die to bend and break.
5) Applying some lubricant oil on the punch will prolong the life of the
punch and reduce the stripping load.
6) Regrinding of punching tools is not recommended.

Be very careful with
Punching on Channels:
1) If punching the channel web, use the single-hole die holder (optional)
with the table removed. If punching the channel flange, use the
overhang two-hole die holder with the lower support portion and the
front piece of the 2-piece table removed. Special goose-neck die
holder is also available for punching both channel web and channel
flange. See figure.
2) Check again that the stripper, punch/die alignment are properly
adjusted.
3) Set the gauging stoppers to the desired position.
4) If punching channel web, position the channel with both flanges
facing downward. If punching channel flange, position the channel
with the flange being punched on top. See figure.
5) Press the foot switch to the DOWN position to execute the punch.
6) Release the foot switch for the punch to retract. During stripping,
the material can be lifted up against the stripper and then drop off
when the punch retracts out of the hole.
fingers as the material movement has potential of hazard.
Three kinds of press brakes are available to be installed on the Punch
station to perform bending work. The single-vee press brake is for bending
thick materials. The multi-vee press brake is for bending thin materials.
The angle bending tool is for bending angles after a Vee notch operation.
Always bend the material at the center position of the tooling (directly
under the cylinder ram). Do not bend the material at the side of the tool as
that will create side-load force on the tool and cylinder.
WARNING
As the press brake tool is not covered by guards, pay special attention to
safety when using this tool. Always make sure no fingers or other body
parts is in between the upper tool and lower die before excusing the
bending operation.
NOTE:
While using the press brake, the pump is not unloaded by the limit switch
when the upper tool reach the lowest position onto the lower die. At this
position the oil pressure stays at the maximum pressure set by the relief
valve, until the foot paddle is released to allow the cylinder to retract. This
will cause the oil temperature to raise quickly, also may shorten the life of
pump and hydraulic parts due to over-loading. Do not allow the top tool to
stay at the low position too long by release the foot paddle immediately
when bending is complete. The press brake is an optional tooling intended
for occasional operation. Continuous production work is not recommended.
Allow intermit break period for the oil to cool down. Use fan for cooling
down when oil temperature is too high. Lower the pressure setting by
adjust the relief valve to the level just enough capacity to perform the
bending operation.
The duplicating table is to copy the position of existing holes on a master
plate to the working plate. This device can greatly save time and labor on
repetitious punching. We strongly recommend the hydraulic stripper to be
used together with the duplicating table.
To duplicate the holes, follow these steps:
1.) Make a master plate and fix it on the extended table. The material
should be placed against the zero point at the left upper corner. Secure
the plate with the screws on two sides.
2.) Fix the working material on the two clamps. The material should be
placed against the zero point at the stopper guide on the right lower
corner.
3.) Move the working material along the X-Y linear guide until the pointing
device is pointed to the hole on the master. Then simply push and hold
the button on the pointing device. Enacted by compress air, the point
device comes down into the hole and locks into position.
4.) Press the foot paddle to punch the hole.
The corn shape tip of the pointing device provides a self-centering effect
for precise positioning. Various sizes of the corn shape tip are provided for
the different master plate thickness and hole sizes. Select the correct tip
that will have full contact around the hole to ensure accurate positioning.
The duplicating table for PM-T models (310mm throat) has approximately
the following dimension (mm):
Main Table (for working material): 850 (W) x 320 (D)
Extended Table (for master): 950 (W) x 560 (D)
Copiable Area: 760 (W) x 270 (D)
The duplicating table for PM-LT models (510mm throat) has approximately
the following dimension (mm):
Main Table (for working material): 850 (W) x 532 (D)
Extended Table (for master): 950 (W) x 760 (D)
Copiable Area: 760 (W) x 470 (D)
The duplicating table for PM-XT models (760mm throat) has
approximately the following dimension (mm):
Main Table (for working material): 850 (W) x 782 (D)
Extended Table (for master): 950 (W) x 980 (D)
Copiable Area: 760 (W) x 720 (D)
The hydraulic punching stripper moves down with hydraulic force and
holds the material in position. Therefore, it increases the accuracy of the
punching and reduces deformation. The hydraulic stripper moves
downward before the punching takes place. It moves up after the punching
is completed and the punch is stripped out of the hole. The hydraulic
stripper is highly recommended when using the duplicating table to ensure
the accuracy and performance.
To use the hydraulic stripper, turn the Hydraulic Stripper Auto/Manual
switch on the control panel to AUTO position. Position the material as in
normal punching operation. The hydraulic stripper will function
automatically for each punching operation.
To adjust the height of the stripper, turn the screws in the rod on two sides
of the stripper to move up and move down the position of the stripper. The
stripper height should be adjusted so that when activated it will press the
material firmly and evenly. Make sure to have the same height on both sides so that the stripping force will be balanced. Unbalanced stripping
may break the punch and cause hazard.
If the material cannot have adequate contact with the stripper, such as
asymmetrical material, material too small, or punched hole too close to the
edge of material, do not proceed with the punching operation.
If the hydraulic stripping is not desired, turn off the hydraulic stripper by
switching the Hydraulic Striper Auto/Manual switch to MANUAL.
Warning:
The hydraulic stripper can break fingers and cause serious injuries. Never
remove the guards around the stripper. Before each punch, always pay
special care that nothing is under the stripper other than the material being
punched.
Routinely check the electrical power cable and the foot switch cable
for any loosening or damage.
Inspect the punch, die, and safety guards to ensure they are in good
condition.
Clean all slugs, cut off pieces, and other waste material from each
work stations and around the machine.
2.
Filter and Oil Change
:
The first oil change should be performed after approximately 600
operating hours. Further oil change is needed for every 2000 operating
hours. A drain outlet is located at the base of the oil tank. Do not mix
different brands of oil.
The oil temperature should be under 50 degrees Celsius. If the
upper/lower limit switches are not set correctly for unloading of the
pump, the oil temperature can raise quickly. Adjust the limit switches
so the pump will be in the unloading condition.
4.
Oil level
:
Make sure the hydraulic oil level is in the range indicated on the oil
level gauge. It is better to keep the oil level close to the high mark
indicated on the gauge.
The working pressure of the hydraulic system is pre-set in the factory.
The pressure should ONLY be adjusted by the service engineer. There
is a pressure gauge to indicate the working pressure of the machine.
The pressure gauge should be locked and be used only during
service/maintenance work.
