Quality at a minimal cost. That describes the new Quick-Gage model 1000 perfectly. This system will quickly bring your press brake operation to its peak performance. The unique design of this instrument will enable you to increase productivity, increase precision, increase efficiency, and drastically reduce your set-up time.

This system which was designed and built by a craftsman with 20 years of press brake experience incorporates tooling for all types of forming operations. The Quick-Gage is able to adjust horizontally 8" and vertically ¾". It comes with easy-to-use adjustable handles for fast clamping and positioning of the gauge. The innovative design allows you to use a cross bar ranging from a tube, to bar, or even a channel. (Cross bar: 2" width/Legs: 1") With the quick-gage system work time will be spent in bending metal and less time adjusting the back stops. For more information, contact FAB-TECH Machinery.

At a surprisingly low cost, the new Quick-Gage 1000 has become the most technologically advanced mechanical back-stop system ever developed. The system will allow you to upgrade old or new press brake machines making them faster, more precise and definitely more profitable.

Once installed your Quick-Gage will provide these features:

Set-up time reduced by Increased productivity Quick Adjustment of stops Fits quickly from one machine to another	Improved accuracy & precision 1 year warranty on parts Money back guarantee No more hinge stops	Upgrade your machines Steel contact points Increased efficiency Allows multiple set-ups

HOW THE SYSTEM OPERATES:
The QG-1000 gauge is mounted on any bar, tube or channel that is two inches wide with at least one inch legs and is as long as the Brake frame permits. Horizontal placement of the gauge is accomplished by manually setting the unit on a bar in a designated place and fastening it with the adjustable handle at the rear of the unit. When the unit is secure, the handle may be placed in any desired position so as to provide clearance if needed. Approximately ¾" vertical adjustment may be made by loosening the front adjustment handle and raising it to any desired position, again, the handle may be moved after tightening to give clearance for your workpiece, should it be necessary. In any situation, if your Brake does not have front adjusting back gauge control, you should set the mounting bar where most of the horizontal adjustments can be made with the QG-1000 horizontal slide bar. The range of adjustment is approximately 8 inches. The standard slide bar is 10" long. Longer bars for greater range are available. There are 3 separate tips for the slide bar. The tip selected should be the one which is most advantageous to your bending operation. When your preliminary set up is complete and a sample bend has been made, if you find you need further adjustment, you can put the micrometer stop (QG-1000) on the slide bar and make your adjustments either in or out, in thousandths of an inch. There are other attachments available to cover all bending situations, such as flip stops for bending down flanged metals and multiple stop set-ups for more than one bend on a pair of stops. There are also spring loaded stops to take up the jar of heavy metals hitting the stops. The QG-1000 allows an operator to maintain concentration on the work project and not get wrapped up in trying to set up the back stops.
