The bending machine die is a tool used on a bending machine for shaping and processing sheet metal. This tool is composed of various parts, and different dies are made up of different components. It mainly processes the shape of an item by changing the physical state of the material being formed. It is used to transform the blank material into a component with a specific shape and size under the pressure of the bending machine. When installing the bending machine die, it is essential to check the status of the equipment, prioritize personal safety during adjustments, and follow the steps below for installation and debugging.
1. Machine Adjustment
When installing the bending machine die, first understand the machine's performance. Turn on the bending machine, patiently adjust and inspect to ensure there is no dust or iron debris from previous use, preventing unnecessary issues during later use.
2. Slider Stroke Adjustment
First, check if the thickness of the bending machine die matches the upper and lower die modules. Generally, the slider needs to be controlled at the switch point of the stroke line, which is crucial to ensure proper die usage. Some people still make this mistake frequently.
3. Stroke Module Adjustment
After adjusting the slider stroke to the standard, the next step is to adjust the upper limit point of the module. In general, the module should reach the highest point, and the module and switch need to be set. This allows for the correct stopping position of the module, significantly increasing production efficiency. During this process, the module also needs to be slowed down. When the module descends to the bottom dead center, it must be slowed down to protect the machine and die.
4. Clearance Adjustment
Finally, adjust the clearance between the bending machine dies. Measure the gap between the upper and lower die modules, and the reasonable gap should be determined based on the material being bent.
5. Angle Adjustment
Adjusting the bending angle of the bending machine die is a crucial step. The angle selection is related to the product requirements. Generally, for a 90° bend die, the middle angle must be greater than the angles on the sides. Sometimes it may be too tight, which can be addressed by adjusting the screws on the machine. After adjustment, if the product requirements remain unchanged, avoid further modifications. During bending, calculate the precise pressure numbers using a pressure gauge for pressure adjustment to prevent die damage.
