Product Manual A

Radius Roller Installation
This manual provides installation requirements for the Edwards
Radius Roller
All Edwards Hydraulic Accessory Tools are powered by an
Edwards Ironworker outtted with a Hydraulic Accessory Pack
or an Edwards Porta Power, portable hydraulic power unit.
Refer to Safety, Installation, Operations and Maintenance
manuals for the Edwards power-plant you are using to oper-
ate your Edwards Hydraulic Accessory Tool.
Environmental Requirements at Work Station
The work station environment for your Edwards Radius Roller must meet
the following minimum requirements:
• Ambient temperature: 7.2°C - 43.3°C [45°F - 110°F]
• Relative humidity: No greater than 90% relative humidity.
• Floor area: Assure that the machinery work area provides
for a stable, adequately sized and load rated oor area for
material movement to and from the machinery work stations.
• Shelter: Protect your Ironworking and accessory machinery
from water, salts and corrosive elements.
• Lighting: 500LUX (50 footcandles) minimum.
Receiving the Radius Roller
Edwards Hydraulic Accessory Tools are fully assembled and are shipped
either by palletized custom wooden crate or by shrink-wrapped wooden
pallet for ease of transport and receiving.
Inspect the packaging for damage and follow shipping/receiving instruc-
tions as listed on the packaging prior to receiving the tool into your
facility.
When receiving your Hydraulic Accessory Tool, be prepared to safely
move your machinery with a fork-lift rated for the following equipment
weights:
Minimum Machinery Weights
Radius Roller 430.91kg/950lb
Utilize best practices for fork-lift operation. Handle material as close
to the drive surface as possible with the widest spread and deepest pen-
etration of forks effective to service the pallet. Forks should be adjusted
and locked into the safety detent closest to the maximum available fork
spread.
Unpacking/Moving the Radius Roller
Your Edwards Radius Roller includes surface and remotely mounted
electrical cabling and hydraulic lines. Exercise caution when removing
the factory supplied packaging. Do not cut electrical wires or hydraulic
hoses.
1. Carefully remove packaging.
2. Carefully remove the lagbolts and washers attaching the Roller to
the shipping pallet.
3. Locate the fork-lift areas directly under the Radius Roller base
assembly
4. Carefully insert forks under the roller base assembly. Do not allow
forks to hit roller assembly. Conrm that forks are in contact with
both front and rear frame surfaces. Install clamps (not included) to
forks so that the RRM2 is stable while moving and lift the RRM2
from the pallet.
5. Locate your Roller directly adjacent to the Edwards Ironworker or
Porta Power. Ensure that power controls of the Ironworker or
Porta Power are within arms-reach of the Radius Roller tool.
Installing the Radius Roller
1. The Radius Roller is designed with a rolling base. The oor rating
should be a minimum multiplier of 2.5 times the weight of the
Roller plus the weight of any tooling being used within the Roller,
plus the material being pressed.
2. Safe Work Zone Roll forming can fail the part being worked, fail
a part adjacent to the work or fail the forming tool. Failed parts
can become airborne projectiles with deadly force. Protect yourself
with appropriate personal protective equipment when operating the
press. Protect others by dening a safe work zone for Radius
Roller use and limiting access to the operator. Identify a safe
working zone from the working area of the roller equal to or greater
than the nished diameter of the piece being rolled × 1.5 e.g.
5’ nished diameter × 1.5 = 7.5’. Keep un-authorized individuals
clear of the safe working zone when roll forming.
Hydraulic Power
Your Edwards Radius Roller is factory assembled and tested for optimum
performance when powered by Edwards Manufacturing Company rated
hydraulic power supplies.
The Radius Roller is powered by either an Edwards Ironworker with the
factory installed Hydraulic Accessory Control Package or an Edwards
Porta-Power, 5hp, 3000psi, portable power unit.
ALTERNATE POWER SOURCES ARE NOT RECOMMENDED
AND MAY COMPROMISE MACHINE OPERATION, MACHINE
HYDRAULIC WARRANTY AND OPERATOR SAFETY.
Follow electrical connection installation instructions for power supply as
set forth within the Installation Manual of the Edwards Ironworker or
Porta-Power.
Powering with an Edwards Ironworker
Power selection controls are located adjacent to the starter on the feed
side of the machine. Hydraulic quick connections and accessory controls
are located on the drop-off side or end cap of the machine.
With the Ironworker power off, install Radius Roller hoses, power and
control:
• Install the Radius Roller male and female accessory hydraulic
hoses to the ironworker male and female quick-connect hydraulic
ttings. Both ttings have a detent ball setting that must be aligned
to couple and uncouple hoses.
• Remove the safety cap at the push button port. Attach the Radius
Roller hand control male mil. spec. control cable to the female mil.
spec. accessory control port at your Ironworkers Hydraulic Acces-
sory package.
With all Ironworker and Radius Roller stations clear of hands, tools,
tooling, material or debris, power up the Ironworker by depressing
the green button on the starter box.
With the power on, your Ironworker machine will return to a neutral
position.
Turn the 3-position switch on the front of the machine case to the Ac-
cessory position. This operation disables the Ironworker and switches
control to the accessory hand control.
With the Radius Roller work station clear of hands, tools, tooling, mate-
rial or debris, test the Radius Roller operation by depressing the OUT
control button. Once depressed, the lower drive rolls of the Radius Roller
will rotate counter clockwise. Releasing pressure on the OUT control
button will stop roller rotation. Test the Radius Roller operation by de-
pressing the IN control button. Once depressed, the lower drive rolls of
the Radius Roller will rotate clockwise. Releasing pressure on the IN
control button will stop roller rotation.
Depress the red e-stop button to kill power at the Ironworker. To reset
power, twist the e-stop button and push start button at the Ironworker.
When disconnecting your Radius Roller simply reverse procedure.
Replace the safety cap at the push button port to restore power to
your Ironworker.
Powering with an Edwards Porta-Power
Your Edwards Porta-Power 5hp / 3000psi / Portable Power Unit will
power all your Edwards Hydraulic Accessories.
Follow electrical connection installation instructions as set forth within
these sections of the Installation Manual:
With the Edwards Porta-Power off, install accessory hoses, power and
control:
• Install the male and female Radius Roller hydraulic hoses to the
Porta-Power male and female quick connect hydraulic ttings ad-
jacent to the starterbox. Both ttings have a detent ball setting that
must be aligned to couple and uncouple hoses.
• Remove the safety cap at the push button port. Attach the Radius
Roller hand control, male mil. spec. control cable to the female mil.
spec. accessory push button port on the Porta-Power case.
With all Ironworker and Radius Roller stations clear of hands,
tools, tooling, material or debris, power up the Porta-Power by
depressing the green button on the starter box.
With the power on, your Radius Roller is in a neutral position.
With the Radius Roller work station clear of hands, tools, tooling, mate-
rial or debris, test the Radius Roller operation by depressing the OUT
control button. Once depressed, the lower drive rolls of the Radius Roller
will rotate counter clockwise. Releasing pressure on the OUT control
button will stop roller rotation. Test the Radius Roller operation by de-
pressing the IN control button. Once depressed, the lower drive rolls of
the Radius Roller will rotate clockwise. Releasing pressure on the IN
control button will stop roller rotation.
If the machine fails to cycle, power down the Porta-Power by depressing
the red button on the starterbox, consult the trouble shooting section of
the Operations Manual.
Depress the red e-stop button on the hand control to kill power at the
Porta Power. To reset power, twist the e-stop button and push start but-
ton at Porta Power.
When disconnecting your Radius Roller, simply reverse procedure.
Replace the safety cap at the push button port to restore power to
your Porta Power.
