How to use the CNC bending machine correctly by Manhart (Guangdong) CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd

The correct usage method of CNC bending machine mainly includes the following steps:
1. Check the equipment: Before using the bending machine, it is necessary to check whether the power supply, air pressure, and hydraulic pressure are sufficient, whether the machine is clean, and whether there are obstacles in the slide section to ensure that the equipment is in good condition.
2. Start up and set the origin: Turn on the power switch of the machine, start the oil pump, align the origin of the L-axis, D-axis, CC axis, and Z-axis, and complete the starting process.
3. Mold installation: After selecting the mold, place the gear switch of the machine in the cutting position, and install the base, lower mold, and upper mold. Then place the switch of the machine in the inch or single action position, and use the foot up switch to shake the up handle or knob to merge the upper and lower molds. Apply pressure to align the D-axis zero point, lock the lower mold, and complete the mold installation process.
4. Programming: After identifying the bending sequence and dimensions, start programming the bending machine. There are two input methods for programming, one is angle input and the other is depth input. First, put the computer into memory mode and input values such as bending size L, D value, Z value, speed, time, number of times, etc. Then conduct product trial sales, and once the trial products are checked and found to be correct, they can be mass-produced.

5. Adjusting the stroke: Before bending, a trial run is required to ensure that there is a gap in the thickness of the plate when the upper mold of the bending machine descends to the bottom, to avoid damage to the mold and machine. There are two ways to adjust the stroke: electric quick adjustment and manual fine adjustment.
6. Choose a bending groove: Choose a suitable groove based on the thickness of the board, generally selecting a groove with a width of 10 times the thickness of the board. For example, when bending a 4mm sheet metal, a groove of around 40 should be selected. A board with a maximum groove of 10mm can be folded, and boards exceeding 10mm are not allowed to be used.
7. Adjusting the rear stopper: There are two ways to adjust the rear stopper: electric quick adjustment and manual fine adjustment, similar to a shearing machine.
8. Start bending: Press the foot switch to start bending. A bending machine is different from a shearing machine, it can be released at any time. Release the foot and the bending machine will stop, then step on it to continue down.
During use, safety operating procedures should be strictly followed, and unauthorized operations are prohibited to avoid unnecessary harm to personal safety and equipment molds. At the same time, regular inspections and maintenance should be carried out on the equipment to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life.
The above steps are for reference only, and specific operations may vary depending on the device model and actual situation. It is recommended to read the equipment manual carefully before use and operate under the guidance of professional personnel.
