**CNC bending machine operation tutorial**
1、 Equipment Overview and Configuration
CNC bending machine is a machine that precisely controls the bending angle and length of sheet metal through a digital control system. It mainly consists of the body, workbench, upper slider, rear stopper, CNC system, and mold. Different CNC bending machines can handle plates of different thicknesses and materials according to their configuration and specifications.
2、 Startup and preparation steps
1. Check if the equipment is in good condition, including whether the electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and other systems are normal.
2. Turn on the device power and wait for the CNC system to start up.
3. Check if the parameters such as oil level and temperature are within the normal range to ensure that the hydraulic system is working properly.
4. Prepare the required molds and select the appropriate one based on the thickness of the sheet and bending requirements.
3、 Introduction to CNC System Panel
The CNC system panel is the core operating area of the CNC bending machine, which includes various functional buttons, display screens, and indicator lights. Operators need to be familiar with the functions and meanings of various buttons and indicator lights on the panel in order to operate correctly.
4、 Working methods and choices
CNC bending machines have multiple working modes, including manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic. Choose a suitable working method based on production needs and the characteristics of the board. Generally speaking, manual mode is used for debugging and trial operation, while semi-automatic and fully automatic modes are used for mass production.
5、 Reference point setting and reference back
Reference point setting is an important step in the operation of a CNC bending machine, which determines the reference position of the machine’s operation. Operators need to set reference points based on actual situations and perform reference operations when necessary to ensure bending accuracy.
6、 Programming and Data Operations
The programming and data operation of CNC bending machines are the key to achieving automated production. Operators need to be familiar with the usage of programming software and write programs based on the size and bending requirements of the sheet metal. At the same time, it is also necessary to master operations such as data input, output, and modification.
7、 Mold selection and installation
The selection and installation of molds have a direct impact on the bending quality. Operators need to select appropriate molds based on factors such as plate thickness, material, and bending angle, and follow the correct steps for installation and debugging.
8、 Manual operation and debugging
Before automatic operation, manual operation and debugging are usually required. This includes adjusting the position of the upper slider, the position of the rear stopper, etc., to ensure that the machine can bend according to the predetermined program.
9、 Safety regulations and precautions
When operating the CNC bending machine, it is necessary to strictly follow safety regulations to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. Precautions include:
1. Operators must undergo professional training and be familiar with the structure and performance of the equipment.
During the operation, the parameters and programs of the equipment must not be changed arbitrarily.
3. During machine operation, hands or other objects should not be extended into hazardous areas.
4. Regularly maintain and upkeep the equipment to ensure its stability and reliability.
In short, mastering the operation tutorial of CNC bending machines is the key to achieving efficient and accurate bending. Through learning and practice, operators can proficiently master the operational skills of equipment, improve production efficiency and product quality.
