Safety Procedures for Tool Calibration
Before turning on the machine, check for any foreign objects on the machine tool and ensure that the electrical system is functioning properly.
When using the machine tool, start the main power supply first before starting other power sources.
When turning on the power, rotate the power knob until it stops moving.
When selecting a mold, the angle of the upper die should be smaller than or equal to the angle of the lower die.
Handle the cutting die with care, avoiding collisions with other metal objects to prevent damage.
Before calibrating the mold, clean the V-groove of the lower die, wipe the measuring fixture clean, and place the cutting die on the workbench. Pay special attention to ensuring that there are no iron chips or debris in the V-groove of the lower die before inserting it into the machine tool.
During rapid die calibration, the upper and lower dies should be calibrated with a staggered approach.
Do not use molds with a length less than 300mm for calibration.
During calibration, when the tip of the upper die is close to the V-groove of the lower die (4-5mm), switch to slow-speed rising and closely monitor the pressure value. When the pressure reaches the set pressure, the D value will automatically return to zero.
After completing the calibration, lower the workbench to the lowest position.
Safe Operation of Bending Machine Processing
In principle, single-person operation should be implemented. If assistance from others is required, ensure their personal safety. Before stepping on the foot pedal, remind the other person to check for any unsafe actions, and only step on the foot pedal after confirmation.
During operation, do not engage in conversations with others. Maintain a high level of concentration and prevent unrelated personnel from entering the work area. Unauthorized individuals should not enter the marked zone.
After the machine is turned on, no part of the body should enter between the upper and lower dies.
When performing bending operations, wear gloves on both hands. However, gloves may be omitted for smaller bending tasks.
When performing bending operations, use a light touch to position the workpiece. Do not apply excessive force, and maintain stability of the body's center of gravity.
When bending larger workpieces, reduce the bending speed. No part of the operator's body should exceed the range of the workpiece's bending motion.
In case of an emergency, immediately press the emergency stop button. Multiple different-height cutting dies should not be installed on the same machine at once.
During machine operation, maintenance should not be performed on the machine.
When adjusting or replacing molds, if hands need to be inserted between the upper and lower dies, the emergency stop button must be pressed or the hydraulic motor must be turned off before installing the upper and lower dies.
During the adjustment process, the foot switch should be placed on the right side of the operator to prevent accidental activation and potential hazards.
After completing the production operation, lower the workbench and turn off the hydraulic motor.
Mold Maintenance
Before using the mold, check if there are any iron chips or dust on the mold surface.
Inspect the mold for any gaps, cracks, or impressions.
Check for deformations or other damages to the mold.
Handle the mold with care.
For larger molds, use a cart to transport them to avoid dropping and causing injuries or damage.
When storing or retrieving smaller molds, avoid the cutting edges of the molds colliding with each other.
When inserting the mold into the mold clamp, lift it up to be level with the tabletop to prevent collisions between the mold and the clamp.
Ensure that there are no iron chips or debris (in the V-groove) on the cutting edges of the mold.
If any debris or foreign objects are found during use, clean them promptly.
After use, store the molds in a designated location and regularly apply rust preventive oil to prevent rusting.
Before storage, wipe the molds clean.
If rust occurs, use fine emery cloth or oilstone for rust removal. Do not use coarse sandpaper or other items. After removing the rust, apply rust preventive oil.
