We have a Schiavi Model HFB 220/3 bending machine.
I'm trying to locate a North American service/sales contact to help us out with our current problem or anyone else who can offer suggestions.
Problem . . . The machine is not balancing at start-up. Cylinder side Y1 is approx. 3 to 4" lower than cylinder side Y2. When we go throught the suggested balancing routine it wants to lift Y2. If we go into a manual routine we get the same result, all we tried wants to lift Y2 and increase the differential between Y1 & Y2.
When we do the suggested routine and it starts moving Y2 in the upwards direction, we stop . . . were concerned that the machine will hit hard stops causing us more problems.
Has anyone experienced this unbalancing or a similar situation?
Does anyone know of a Schiavi service rep?
All info is appreciated,
Thanks, Sheldon
