What should be prepared before using press brake?

When operating the press brake, in order to prevent the occurrence of problems, the preparations must be carried out.

Clean the oil stains on the appearance of press brake. The engraved line on the stop valve should be in the open position.

Turn on the press brake for a few cycles, ensuring that there are no abnormal conditions. Try cutting different thickness sheets. During trial cutting, the gap between the different blades must be adjusted because the thickness of the plate is different. Otherwise, the durability of the blade will be affected.

During the cutting process, turn on the pressure gauge and check the oil pressure value. If any abnormality, the relief valve can be dispatched to meet the specified requirements.

When operating the press brake, if abnormal noise or overheating of the oil tank is found, the press brake should be stopped and checked. The high temperature of the fuel tank does not exceed 60 degrees.

Otherwise, it will cause damage to the mold and the press brake. The stroke adjustment also has electric quick adjustment and manual fine adjustment.

For the selection of bending notches, a notch with a width of 8 times the thickness of the plate should generally be selected.

Backgauge adjustment generally has electric quick adjustment and manual fine adjustment, which is the same as the shearing machine.

Step on the foot switch to start bending. You can release it at any time.

What are the warnings when using press brake?

Before operating the press brake, check whether the motor, switch, circuit and grounding are normal and firm. Check that the control parts and buttons of the press brake are stuck in the correct position.

Check the firmness of the upper and lower molds that whether each positioning device meets the processing demands.

If the upper slide plate and each positioning axis are not at the origin, run the return-to-origin program.

After the press brake is started, run idling for 1 to 2 minutes, and move on the skateboard 2 to 3 times at full stroke. Troubleshoot the malfunction until press brake is normal.

The operator should be in uniform command, cooperating closely with the feeding and suppressing operator.
