2. To prevent damage to the dies, it is stipulated that when setting the origin point, upper and lower dies with a length of over 300mm must be used for setting the origin point. Only after setting the origin point correctly can upper and lower dies of the same height be used. It is strictly prohibited to use segmented small dies for setting the origin point, and the origin point must be set according to the standard origin pressure inside the machine.
3. Due to the varying heights of different dies, when selecting dies on a machine, only dies of the same height can be used, and dies of different heights should not be used.
4. When using dies, suitable upper and lower dies should be selected based on the material hardness, thickness, and length of the metal sheet. Generally, lower dies are used according to a standard of 5-6T, with the length slightly longer than the sheet. For harder materials and thicker sheets, lower dies with wider slots should be used.
5. When bending sharp angles or forming dead angles, a 30-degree upper die should be used to first bend the sharp angle and then form the dead edge. When bending rounded corners, R-type upper and lower dies should be used.
6. When bending longer workpieces, segmented dies should preferably not be used to reduce knife marks, and single-groove dies are preferred as the outer corner R of the V-groove in single-groove lower dies is larger, reducing bending marks.
7. When selecting upper dies, it is important to understand the parameters of all dies and then decide which upper die to use based on the shape of the product to be formed.
8. When bending extremely hard or thick products, do not use dies to bend steel bars or other cylindrical products.
9. When using dies, maintain clarity of mind. After setting the origin point on the machine, lock the upper and lower dies to prevent them from falling and causing injury or damage to the dies. During operation, pay attention to applying pressure gradually and avoid applying excessive pressure at once. Monitor changes in the screen display data.
10. After using the dies, promptly return them to the die rack and store them properly according to the markings. Regularly clean the dust on the dies and apply rust-proof oil to prevent rusting and maintain die accuracy.
