BOND Material Handling Medium Duty Cast Semi-Steel Cup Dolly

When you need to move just about anything with posts or even without posts these dollies are real people savers! They are compact triangular shaped dollies with a cup center; often called cup dollies or cup casters. One dolly is placed under each post or leg of the article you intend to move; once all posts have dollies you simply roll your article through doorways, onto elevators, down the street, into the truck, or across the room! The swivel wheels and tripod wheel arrangement allow the article to be moved in any direction; even top heavy articles go where you want them too safely and securely.

BODY: Cast semi-steel with 2” deep well, measuring 5” at
  the top and 3-3/16” at the bottom.
  Clearance is 5/8” from the floor.
   
WHEELS: Must be specifiedwhen ordering. The 2” diameter

    #Baileigh #SBR-5216 Manual 16ga x 52" Shear/Brake/Slip Roll

    Baileigh SBR-5216 Manual 16ga x 52








    Baileigh SBR-5216 Manual 16ga x 52" Shear/Brake/Slip Roll

    3-1 Combination – Shear Brake Roll

    The SBR-5216 brake roller shear acts as a 3 in 1 combination machine. This one machine consists of a low production press brake, slip roll, and sheet metal shear. Having three machines in one makes it a real gem in small shops with limited floor space.
    The SBR-5216 combination shear brake roll can handle up to a 52” wide piece of sheet metal and can cut, roll or shear mild steel down to 16 gauge thickness. This is the most powerful 3-1 combination machine on the market and is offered at a fantastic price making it reasonable for home shops, industrial art shops, and other facilities where small production runs don’t justify dedicated individual machines.
    This combination shear brake roll has a manual sheet metal shear that has a spring loaded clamp that keeps the material from lifting up, which extends blade life. The blades are hardened for long life and can be turned four times, again furthering the useful life of the blades. The manual press brake section has removable and movable top fingers (or punch) and the bottom V-block die is fixed. The movable and removable fingers allow for many types of boxes and pans to be made. The slip rolls are hardened for long life and allows for very tight radiuses to be made. The rolls come with three wire grooves, perfect for sheet metal applications.
    The SBR-5216 brake roller shear can be bench or stand mounted. The metal shear comes with a blade gap adjustment, as well as a material guide. The press brake has a depth adjustment for repeatable bends. The manual slip roller has a back roll adjustment as well as a top roll adjustment. These adjustments make it a user friendly machine when changing between material, thicknesses and projects.
    This manual brake roller shear has a massive capacity and is perfect for low production applications. It is typically in stock for quick deliveries.

    Baileigh Plate Shear SH-120250-HD 
    #Baileigh Plate Shear SH-120250-HD

    Features:

    At 18 strokes a minute the SH-120250-HD from Baileigh Industrial is a must have in any production environment that shears ¼” mild steel.  The SH-120250-HD plate shear can cut ¼” mild steel over its entire 120” length.  For even more production the SH-120250-HD features an NC controller for programming of the back gauge.  This programmer is accurate to =/- .01mm and can hold up to 100 programs.  Convenient rolling tables mounted on the front of the machine help with loading of materials.  Gap is easily adjusted via hand wheels.  Another nice feature is the shadow line postioner to help with placement of material.

    Since the SH-120250-HD plate shear is built to last, Baileigh Industrial uses only the best quality components, Schneider electrical, Rexroth hydraulic systems, and NOK seals from Japan.  The massive frame of the SH-120250-HD is all integrated and fully welded to eliminate vibrations commonly found on other models.  By eliminating vibrations, it is eliminating any stress that can occur during the cutting process.

    Order Mahr Gages at Light Tool Supply http://www.lighttoolsupply.com

    “SQUEEZE” GAGING
    George Schuetz, Mahr Federal Inc.
     Machinists working strictly in metal-working shops do not have many occasions to gage the thickness of soft materials.  But many of our readers work in supporting roles, helping to build or maintain the machines that produce textiles, plastic films, paper and other products that are compressible.  Even readers who work only with metals should realize they are not alone in their concern for accuracy:  the shirt on your back, the newspaper you read this morning and the garbage bag you tossed it in, were all produced to exacting thickness tolerances.
     Differences in gaging pressure translate readily into differences in the degree to which the sensitive contact compresses or penetrates the material being gaged.  It is, therefore, essential to use a standardized method when measuring the thickness of compressible materials.  Every industry and every kind of material has its own standards, most of which have been established by the American Society for Testing Materials or by Underwriters’ Laboratories.  These standards specify the size of the reference table and the measuring contact (or foot), the dial gradations, and the amount of force to be used.  (Gaging force is controlled by a weight, rather than with the springs found in most dial indicators, to ensure consistency of compression).  Such standards make purchasing decisions quite straightforward:  often, you need only specify which ASTM standard you wish to meet.
     Assuming you have the right gage for your material, making accurate measurements of compressible materials is not difficult if you follow a few basic guidelines:
    The Anvils Must be Parallel

     If they are not, they will compress the material at an edge rather than across a flat surface.  To check for parallelism, close the contacts and try to shine a flashlight through them.  Parallel contacts allow no light to shine through; any lack of parallelism is readily apparent down to about 0.0001” (2um).  Check front to back, and side to side.
     It is difficult to hold larger contacts -- say those above 1/2” x 1/2” (12mm x 12mm)--in alignment with the light source.  And the visual method may fail to reveal problems such as an upper foot with a worn center or a chipped edge.
     If you need more accuracy or if visual inspection reveals a lack of parallelism and you want to measure it, use this method:  Place a precision wire of 0.010” or 0.020” (.2mm or .5mm) diameter under the front edge of the upper foot, and zero the indicator.  Then retract the contact, place this “master” under the rear edge, and repeat the measurement, noting the variation.  Repeat for left and right sides also.
     Some gages have machine screws to adjust the reference table into parallel with the upper foot.  On those gages that do not, the common solution is to file down either the boss that holds the indicator to the frame, or the shoulder against which the reference table support is clamped.  Easy does it!


    Make Sure Contacts Are Not Contaminated
     This is a common source of error.  As in any gaging procedure, the contacts must be kept clean of dirt, lint or hair.  When measuring materials such as polyethylene film, which may have been in liquid form only minutes before, beware of the buildup of chemical deposits on the contacts.  As with any textile product, frequently clean lint off the contacts.
    Check for Gage Repeatability By Checking Several Points on the Surface of a Known, Consistent Sample
     Most gages for thin materials do not need to be mastered.  Simply “zero” the gage against the reference table.  To avoid having to count dial revolutions when measuring thicker materials like acoustic tiles or carpet, use a gage block to set the zero at the nominal dimension of the material.
     If a gage reads “under”, the problem is most likely a lack of parallelism.  If it reads “over”, dirt is probably the culprit.  Of course, other factors common to all gaging, such as friction in the mechanism or a loose fixture, can also be at fault.
