Usage of CNC bending machine

1、 Overview

CNC bending machine is a mechanical equipment used for bending metal materials, which controls the bending angle and radius through a CNC system. It has the characteristics of high precision, high efficiency, and good repeatability. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the usage of CNC bending machines.

2、 Machine operation

1. Turn on the power: First, make sure the machine is connected to a stable power source and turn on the power switch. After the machine is successfully started, enter the main interface of the CNC system.
2. Material preparation: Place the metal material to be bent on the workbench of the machine and fix it as needed.
3. Adjusting the fixture: Based on the size and shape of the material, adjust the position and clamping force of the fixture to ensure that the material can be stably fixed on the fixture.
4. Load program: Select the option to load the program on the main interface of the CNC system and select the corresponding bending program. According to actual needs, parameters such as bending angle, bending radius, and bending speed can be adjusted.
5. Check parameters: After loading the program, carefully check whether the bending parameters are correct to ensure the accuracy of the program. If parameters need to be modified, corresponding adjustments can be made in the CNC system.
6. Adjusting the tool: Select the appropriate tool based on the thickness and bending angle of the material, and make corresponding adjustments. Ensure that the position and angle of contact between the tool and the material are correct.
7. Perform bending: After confirming all parameters and adjusting work, press the start button, and the machine will start performing the bending operation. Throughout the entire process, the CNC system will precisely control the movement of the tool, achieving preset bending angles and radii.
8. Inspection result: After the machine completes the bending operation, remove the material from the fixture and conduct an appearance quality inspection. If the bending angle and radius of the material meet the requirements, the operation is successful.

3、 Precautions

1. Safe operation: When using a CNC bending machine, pay attention to safe operation. Avoid hand contact with cutting tools or being pinched by fixtures, wear protective gloves and goggles.
2. Material selection: Choose suitable metal materials for bending, considering their bendability and deformation resistance to ensure the smooth progress of the bending process.
3. Fixture adjustment: The position and clamping force of the fixture are crucial for the bending result. During the operation, appropriate adjustments should be made according to the shape and size of the material.
4. Tool maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain the tools of the CNC bending machine to ensure that their cutting edges are sharp and the tools are firmly fixed. Excessive service life of cutting tools can affect bending results.
5. Program saving: After each bending operation is completed, save the bending program to the CNC system for future use. At the same time, backup program files to other storage media to prevent data loss.
6. Regular maintenance: Regularly clean and lubricate all components of the CNC bending machine to extend its service life and maintain its normal operation.

4、 Summary

Through the above steps, we can smoothly operate the CNC bending machine to complete the bending work of metal materials. In practical operation, attention should be paid to safe operation, selecting appropriate materials and tools, adjusting the position and clamping force of the fixture, and ensuring the accuracy and quality of the bending results. At the same time, regularly inspect and maintain the machine to maintain its normal operation. The usage method of CNC bending machine is simple and easy to understand, but it requires a certain amount of practice and experience accumulation to operate proficiently.
