What precautions should be taken when operating a universal plate rolling machine?

The universal plate rolling machine is currently one of the most widely used machine tools on the market. Its production capacity is higher than that of traditional shearing machines. These plate rolling machines allow automotive manufacturers to supply goods that meet market demand at a faster pace, demonstrating the promising future of the universal plate rolling machine.

Many people use universal plate rolling machines but are not very familiar with their operation. Below is an introduction on how to properly operate a universal plate rolling machine.

1. Clean the pinion, pinion bearing, and bearing housing. After cleaning, lubricate the bearings and tighten the screws on the cover. Check if the reducer and auxiliary reducer housings are clean. If cleaning is necessary, apply machine oil after cleaning. Measure and check the length of the couplings, and check if the couplings on the reducer output shaft and pinion shaft are properly installed.

2. Clean the foundation and foundation holes.

3. Construct mortar blocks for the reducer, motor, and auxiliary transmission according to the elevation given in the drawings.

4. Pre-bending the sheet metal: First, adjust the sheet metal to be pre-bent to the appropriate position (determined by the desired pre-bending location). Second, adjust the support movement cylinders to move the two supports to a suitable position for easy pre-bending of the sheet metal. Finally, operate the upper roller to press the lower cylinder onto the sheet surface (left and right parallel).

5. Rolling the sheet metal: Start the main motor and operate the press button (left and right synchronously) to begin rolling. No one should be present on either side of the rolling machine during operation to prevent the rolled workpiece from slipping out and causing an accident. Allow the motor to rotate in the correct direction. After multiple pressurizations and rotations, the rolling process is complete.

The above is an explanation of the correct operation of the universal rolling machine.
