We recommend that shops that work lighter iron, such as is
used on smaller pipes and fittings, employ
Pittsburgh Lock
Rolls mounted on the extended shafts of this machine. If pro
duction warrants, our smaller machine (Lockformer "22")
should be installed.
The reason for this recommendation is as follows: As most
hand brakes cannot be used to form a single edge smaller
than %" on heavy iron our Lockformer #18 rolls a %" pocket
with the permanent rolls.
The lighter iron can be worked in the permanent rolls but the
closing down of the lock over the 3
of the material. We, therefore, suggest that you use the
/s" span causes distortion
Pittsburgh Lock auxiliary rolls on 22 gauge to 28 gauge iron.
These rolls may be installed or changed in about 20 minutes
by an experienced operator and the lock resulting is much
more accurate and neat.
Operating
Instructions
VERY IMPORTANT! TO SET THE CALIBRATED DIAL FOR 16
AND 18 GAUGE, TURN DIAL (RIGHT HAND THREAD) DOWN
TO THE BOTTOM WITH THE LETTER "S" IN LINE WITH
THE ARROW MARKED ON COVER OF MACHINE. THEN
RELEASE TO SETTING OF MATERIAL TO BE USED.
THE CALIBRATED DIAL: The purpose of this dial is to regulate
the width (not the depth) of the pocket. For example, when
forming 18-gauge metal, the pocket must be wide enough to
take the 18-gauge single edge which fits into it; and should
become narrower correspondingly,
for lighter gauges. This
is done by setting the dial to whatever gauge you are running
through the machine.
Should
the dial get out of adjustment, re-set by (1) loosening
the set screw, (2) turning the stud all the way down, and
(3) setting the “
S" mark on the dial opposite the pointer on
the cover.
Example:
If the dial is set for 18 ga.,
the lock is wide:

When set for 24 ga., it be

Turn CALIBRATED DIAL all the way down and then back to
gauge of metal to be run through the machine. Hold material
against the angle gauge and slide it into the forming head.
Be sure to hold the material to the gauge.
Your Lockformer has been adjusted at the factory, but on ac
count of the difference in materials in various localities it is
sometimes necessary to readjust it. Proceed as follows:
1. If material slips or sticks on leaving forming head, tighten
Hold Down Stud at finishing end slightly.
2. If the material works away from the feed gauge tighten
Hold Down Studs at starting end until it corrects itself.
3.
If
the material shows heavy pressure marks, loosen Hold
Down Studs slightly.
If a wider or narrower hammer-over edge is desired, move the
angle gauge forward or back. Be sure to keep the gauge par
allel with the front edge of the top plate of the machine.
MATERIAL SHOULD NOT TOUCH GAUGE ON FINISH END
OF MACHINE.
It is very important that long sheets be held flat and against
the angle gauge when starting through the forming head.
The Lockformer 18 will handle pieces 8" and longer. If shorter
length is required, NOTCH LONG LENGTH AND CUT AFTER
FORMING.
Lubrication
There are seven alemite fittings located on the underside of
the stand roller case on the auxiliary side of the machine.
These fittings lubricate the main reduction bearings and
should be lubricated after every four hours of operation. Re

Instructions for Installing Auxiliary Rolls
To install supplementary rolls, proceed as follows:
Remove top cover.
1.
2. Remove rear section of top plate. This will expose the
ex-
tended shafts on which the rolls are to be mounted.
3. Select the first pair of rolls, which are marked "Tl" and
\ 1
Bl" and slip them on the shafts at the left, or feed side
of the machine, placing "Tl" on the upper shaft and "Bl
on the lower. Repeat this procedure with rolls "T2" and
% X
B2", "T3" and "B3" etc., until all rolls have been mounted.
All rolls marked "T" should be mounted on the top shafts
and "B" rolls on the bottom shafts, in numerical order,
reading from left to right, facing the shafts. NUMBERED
SIDE MUST FACE OUTWARDS.
4. Install keys and fasten rolls to shafts with capscrews and
special washers which are provided.
5. Mount entrance and exit gauges onto stand using slotted
holes provided in stand table top. Set entrance gauge by
placing a straight edge along the outer edge of the
auxiliary rolls. Measure in from this straight edge to the
extreme ends of entrance gauge bar the required amount.
See Sketch (1). When using the Drive Cleat Rolls the
straight edge is placed along the entrance gauge and the
measurement is made from the distance between the
straight edge and the number one and seven roll stations.

There are two top seven rolls, one stamped T-7,
22-24 gauge which has a wide slot and should
be used with 22 and 24 gauge material. The
second roll is stamped T-7, 26-28 gauge and
should be used for the lighter materials. The
exit angle gauge has an adjustable bar that
can be lowered to exert pressure on the material
as it emerges from the rolls, thereby straighten

When adjusting exit gauge be sure it is set to
the "T" section shape or damage will result by
material interference with the gauge bar.

NOTE:
When changing rolls, loosen the exit gauge and
move

from where the material will pass. Run
a test piece of material through the rolls and
stop machine as the lead edge of the formed
material reaches the end of the exit table. Set

should be set flush to, but not bearing against,

the %" studs that pass through the plates will
effect the shape and tendency of material to
hold to the entrance gauge. It is important: that
when changing rolls all parts pertaining to each
set be removed from the machine, and all parts
included on assembly.
6. Replace top cover and back plate.
7- Hold material against gauge a
