Manhart Technical requirements for bending machine molds – Safety operation and maintenance procedures

#Technical requirements, safety operation and maintenance procedures for bending machine molds
## 1. technical requirement
###1.1 Mold Design
-Accuracy requirements: The mold design must comply with the product drawing requirements, ensuring that the bending angle, size, and shape accuracy meet the tolerance range.
-Material selection: Mold materials should have good wear resistance, impact resistance, and heat treatment stability. Common materials include alloy steel, hard alloys, etc.
-Structural Design: Reasonably design the mold structure to ensure a tight fit between the upper and lower molds, without gaps or misalignment, in order to improve processing accuracy and mold life.
###1.2 Manufacturing and Inspection
-Processing accuracy: During the mold processing, the dimensional accuracy and surface roughness should be strictly controlled to ensure a good match between the mold and the equipment.
-Heat treatment: Necessary heat treatment is applied to the mold to improve its hardness and wear resistance, while reducing the occurrence of thermal deformation and cracks.
-Quality Inspection: After the completion of mold manufacturing, strict quality inspection is required, including size measurement, appearance inspection, hardness testing, etc., to ensure that the mold quality meets the design requirements.
## 2. Safe operation
###2.1 Preparation before operation
-Wear protective gear: Operators should wear labor protection equipment such as safety helmets, protective goggles, and work clothes to avoid accidental injuries.
-Equipment inspection: Before starting up, check whether the bending machine and mold are intact, whether each component is fastened, and whether the electrical system is normal.
-* * Material preparation * *: Check whether the materials to be processed meet the requirements and avoid using defective or non compliant materials.
###2.2 Operation process
-* * Correct installation * *: Install the mold correctly according to the operating procedures, ensuring that the mold is securely installed and positioned accurately.
-Adjust parameters: Adjust various parameters of the bending machine according to processing requirements, such as pressure, speed, angle, etc.
-Stable operation: Maintain hand and body stability during operation to avoid accidents caused by excessive force or sudden movement.
-* * Pay attention to observation * *: Always observe the operating status and processing quality of the bending machine, and immediately stop the machine for handling any abnormal situations.
###2.3 Post operation processing
-* * Clean up the site * *: Clean up the work area in a timely manner after processing is completed, and return waste materials and tools to their original positions.
-* * Turn off the device * *: Follow the operating procedures to turn off the power of the bending machine and ensure that the device is in a safe state.
-* * Record Data * *: Record key data and problem points during the processing to provide reference for subsequent work.
## 3. Maintenance Regulations
###3.1 Daily maintenance
-Cleaning work: After daily work, clean the surface of the bending machine and mold of oil stains, iron filings, and other debris.
-Lubrication and Maintenance: According to the equipment manual, regularly add lubricating oil or grease to the transmission and sliding components of the bending machine.
-Check fastening: Check whether the connections of each component are fastened, and tighten them in a timely manner if they are loose.
###3.2 Regular maintenance
-* * Comprehensive inspection * *: Conduct a comprehensive inspection once a month or quarter, including performance testing of key components such as electrical systems, hydraulic systems, and transmission systems.
-* * Replace worn parts * *: Replace vulnerable parts of the mold in a timely manner according to the wear condition, such as mold cutting edges, guide parts, etc.
-Rust prevention treatment: For molds that are not used for a long time, rust prevention treatment should be carried out to avoid corrosion affecting their service life.
###3.3 Storage and Management
-Storage environment: The mold should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and non corrosive gas environment, avoiding direct sunlight and rain.
-Identification Management: Number and label the molds for easy access and tracking.
-* * Maintenance Record * *: Establish a mold maintenance record file, recording information such as the time, content, personnel, and results of each maintenance.
In summary, the technical requirements, safe operation, and maintenance procedures for bending machine molds are important guarantees for ensuring the quality of bending processing and the safe and stable operation of equipment. Operators should strictly follow relevant regulations, strengthen daily maintenance and upkeep work, and ensure the good condition of molds and equipment.
