Detailed Explanation of CNC Bending Machine Operation and Maintenance Standards

1. Why is the Operation of CNC Bending Machines Standardized?

Standardized operation is crucial for CNC bending machines.

Standardized operation and maintenance by employees ensures proper equipment operation and personnel safety, effectively reducing failure rates and improving equipment efficiency.

2. Responsibilities of CNC Bending Machine Operators:

Operators are responsible for the correct use and daily maintenance of the equipment, and must record the daily maintenance status. Maintenance technicians are responsible for organizing and implementing monthly and subsequent maintenance procedures.

3. Operation of CNC Bending Machines

3.1.1 Pre-Start Preparations:

1. Operators must be trained and qualified, master the operating skills and safety features of the equipment, hold a valid certificate, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

2. Before starting the machine, operators should check the upper and lower dies, the front and rear of the machine tool, and the hydraulic oil points to ensure the equipment is in good condition or to address any abnormalities or potential hazards before starting the machine.

3. Before operation, check and clear debris and items unrelated to the product from the work area.

3.1.2 Equipment Start-up and Shutdown:

1. Master Switch (Main Power Switch): Located on the back of the electrical control cabinet. Turn it to the "ON" position to ensure the machine tool has main power.

2. Power Indicator Light: This light illuminates when the main power is on.

3. Oil Pump Start: Press the green button to start the main motor and servo motor. The indicator light illuminates after the motor starts.

4. Single Step/Adjustment Switch: When the switch is set to "Adjustment," all machine axes are in adjustment mode.

5. Return Button: Press this button while the machine tool is in bending mode to force the slide to return.

6. Emergency Stop Switch: Pressing this switch cuts off the power to the main motor and back gauge. Turning the emergency stop switch clockwise releases the lock.

7. CNC Bending Machine Start-up Procedure: First, turn the main power switch to the "1" (ON) position. The power indicator light will illuminate. Release the emergency stop switch to start the oil pump. Then, switch the system to manual mode and press the start button on the system operation panel. The Y-axis, X-axis, and other axes will return to their reference points. (The Y-axis uses a linear scale to detect the reference point, while the X-axis and other axes use proximity switches. Each axis then returns to its system-set position.) The system is now ready, and the machine tool can be programmed and operated.

8. CNC Bending Machine Shutdown Procedure: Stop at the bottom dead center — Move the slide to the bottom dead center — Turn off the main motor — Turn the power switch to the "0" (off) position.
