Maggi System 32 boring clamps
9/26/18
I have a Maggi System 23 horz/very borer.
Lately the boring head drills and retracts normally but the material clamps close normally but release a while after releasing the foot pedal and then very slowly retract.
Is there an adjustment to release the air off the clamps or an exhaust filter that could be plugged?
Thanks Jim Herron

I only know of the adjustment for the drill head speed. However, JG Machinery is the direct importer for Maggi and supply parts and tech support. The guys there have been very helpful whenever I needed anything for my Maggi.

I own the same machine and had the same problem with the boring head air cylinder, not the clamps. I took the cylinder apart, cleaned it, reassembled, and it's worked fine ever since. A tiny bit of moisture in pnuematic cylinders can make them sticky.

Problem solved...pinched air line serving the material clamps, that restricted the flow of air out of the cylinders.
