B SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. ELECTRICAL SECURITY

1.1 CONNECTION OF MACHINE & WELDING POWER SOURCES TO MAIN POWER

Before connecting up your equipment, you must check that:

- The meter, the system for protection against over-currents and the electrical

installation are compatible with its maximum power and its power voltage (cf.instruction plates).
- The single-phase or three-phase connection with earth can be effected by way of a
 VN08-CRD-TLWP-D-QAC-PRO-00025
APPENDIX III
Page 5 of 12

socket compatible with the plug of its connecting cable.

- If the cable is connected to a fixed station, the earth, if it is provided, is never to be cut
by the protective system against electrical shocks.
- Its switch, if there is one, is turned to be OFF setting..

1.2 WORK STATION

The use of cutting implies a strict respect of safety conditions with regard to electrical currents.
It is necessary to check that no metal piece accessible to the operators and to their assistants can come into
direct or indirect contact with a phase conductor and the neutral of the supply network.
Connect all the metal earths of the welding set that are within reach of the user to a single point.
This point is grounded. All connections must be made with cables whose section is at least equal to that of
the largest phase cable.
Connect the earth cable to the piece as close as possible to the area of welding to avoid a long current path,
to reach uncontrollable places and to cause electric shocks or fires. Remove inflammable products or
equipment from the area of spatter coming from the arc, or protect them.

1.3 SERVICING

Before carrying out any checks and repairs inside the machine, check that the equipment has been
separated from the electrical installation by padlocked lock-out devices.

The power supply plug has been removed. Provisions are taken to prevent the accidental connection of the
plug in a socket.
The accidental connection of the cable of a fixed installation is made impossible.
Cutout by way of a fixed connecting system is single pole (phases and neutral). It is in the OFF position,
and cannot be accidentally put into operation.

Maintenance work on electrical equipment must be entrusted to persons qualified to do such work.

1.4 MAINTENANCE

Regularly check the insulation of equipment and electrical accessories is in good condition. This
concerns plugs, flexible cables, sheaths, connectors, extension cords, workpiece clamps, electrode
holders or torches Maintenance and repair work on insulating sheaths and covers should never be
done in a makeshift manner.

D - HANDLING & INSTALLATION

1. Unloading from container

Use forklift to unload

Most of the users choose this method to load or unload. At least,

the capacity to lift 30 ton is required to handle heavy equipments
like beam welding & straightening machine.

A forklift driver who possesses the qualified license is

indispensable.

Use portable crane to unload

Carry the machine to its location by using a crane and a wire rope
sling that can fully withstand the weight of the machine

A crane driver who possesses the qualified license is indispensable.

Moving to installation spot

Use proper tools like sling belts, wire ropes and chains to move
the machine. Shackles are basic and indispensable tool.

Select wire ropes or chains to move, so that it can lift and sustain the machine. Beam welding & straightening
machine is too heavy to carry by means of sling belts.
Apply chains (or wire ropes) to shackles or lifting hooks, and connect to 4 holes of the main frame. After
complete connection, lift the machine using overhead crane. (In case that overhead crane is not enough to
lift, you have to rent a portable crane with the capacity of over 15 ton.)

switches. Push PBL-03 switch to stop.

4. Straightening

Put tack-welded workpiece on infeeding conveyors by overhead crane and feed into the machine.
Prior to straightening of warped flange, the measurement has to be fixed by web & flange guide rolls, and
bottom roll goes up to give required pressure and straighten continuously.
After straightening one side of flange, it is rotated 180 degrees by turning device and transferred to the
machine to be completely straightened.
Dont use press roll in straightening.
Straightening method

- Left and right rolls of flange guide rolls are to be set at a little wider than the flange width (i=b+2J) as the
above figure. Web guide roll handle side is to be set at 1/2 of web board thickness (t1).
- The gap of upper roll depends on workpiece section and type, but it is set on the location of Y=b-2p
(p=50~150), and pressed and fixed.
- Bottom roll is pushed up by hydraulic cylinder and pressurize considering flanges elasticity, but it is strongly
recommended to set first at required pressure.
- Web guide cylinder side is to be set at the point to touch web material. (Scales of pressure gauge is zero)
- By driving lower roll by drive motor, flange bending can be straightened continuously.
Follow the next steps for straightening.
- Select the straightening switch on the operating panel.
- Control workpiece to 4 directions (left-right-up-down) based on roll.
- Move workpiece forward and backward. (Controlled by the operating panel)
