Standardization of the application of multifunctional bending machines

DATE:2024-08-22 14:44:50
**1、 Introduction**

As an important metal processing equipment, the multifunctional bending machine has a wide range of applications in various fields such as construction, machinery manufacturing, and automotive industry. However, in order to ensure its safe, efficient, and accurate operation, as well as to guarantee the quality of processed products, it is crucial to follow standardized application methods.

**2、 Working principle and types of multifunctional bending machine**

The multifunctional bending machine achieves the purpose of bending by applying pressure to cause plastic deformation of metal materials. Common types include hydraulic, electric, and mechanical transmission. Each type has its own characteristics and scope of application.

**3、 Normative key points for the application of multifunctional bending machines**

1. Equipment selection and installation
-Select the appropriate model and specification of bending machine according to the processing requirements, considering factors such as the type, thickness, bending angle, and radius of the processing material.
-When installing equipment, it should be ensured that it is installed on a stable and sturdy foundation, and operated according to the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer.
For example, in the construction industry, if large steel beams need to be bent, it is necessary to choose a large hydraulic bending machine with strong load-bearing capacity and ensure that it is installed on a concrete foundation that can withstand enormous pressure.

2. Operator training
-Operators must undergo professional training, familiarize themselves with the equipment's operating procedures, safety precautions, and common troubleshooting methods.
-Obtain relevant operation certificates, possess corresponding skills and knowledge.
For example, in a mechanical manufacturing factory, newly hired operators need to receive no less than 40 hours of theoretical and practical training before independently operating a multifunctional bending machine.

3. Preparation before processing
-Check whether the various functions of the equipment are normal, including whether the installation of the mold is firm, whether the lubrication system is in good condition, etc.
-Pre treat the processed materials, such as removing surface oil stains, rust, etc., to ensure that the quality and size of the materials meet the requirements.
Taking automobile parts manufacturing as an example, before bending steel pipes, it is necessary to carefully inspect the wear of the mold, and at the same time clean and measure the size of the steel pipe.

4. Mold selection and installation
-Select the appropriate mold based on the shape and size of the workpiece, and ensure the accuracy and quality of the mold.
-Install the mold correctly, adjust the gap and position of the mold to ensure bending accuracy.
For example, in the production of stainless steel kitchenware, corresponding specialized molds need to be selected for handles of different shapes, and the position and gap of the molds need to be precisely adjusted.

5. Process parameter setting
-Reasonably set process parameters such as bending angle, bending speed, pressure, etc., and adjust them according to the characteristics of the material and processing requirements.
-Follow the process specifications and operation manual, and do not change parameters arbitrarily.
For example, when processing aluminum alloy sheets, due to their soft material, the bending speed should be relatively slow, and the pressure also needs to be adjusted appropriately to avoid cracks.

6. Operation process specifications
-Operators should follow the prescribed operating procedures and are strictly prohibited from violating regulations.
-Pay close attention to the operation status and processing of the equipment, and promptly detect and handle abnormal situations.
If wrinkles or cracks are found in the bent parts of the material during the processing, the machine should be stopped immediately for inspection, and the process parameters or molds should be adjusted.

7. Quality inspection
-Conduct quality inspection on the processed parts, including dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy, surface quality, etc.
-For non-conforming products, the reasons should be analyzed and corresponding improvement measures should be taken.
For example, in the production of steel bar connectors for construction, it is necessary to use measuring tools to perform dimensional testing on the bent connectors to ensure that they meet national standards and design requirements.

8. Equipment maintenance and upkeep
-Regularly maintain and upkeep the equipment, including cleaning, lubricating, tightening, and replacing vulnerable parts.
-Record the maintenance status of the equipment and establish equipment files.
For example, every 500 hours of work, a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the hydraulic system of the multifunctional bending machine should be carried out, and the hydraulic oil and filter element should be replaced.

**4、 Problems that may arise from non-standard applications**

1. Safety accidents
-The operator is injured, such as being caught or bumped by equipment.
-Equipment damage can cause risks such as fire and explosion.

2. Unqualified product quality
-The size deviation is large and cannot meet the assembly requirements.
-Poor surface quality affects the appearance and performance of the product.

3. Low production efficiency
-Frequent malfunctions and long downtime for maintenance.
-Inexperienced operation leads to extended processing cycle.

**5、 Conclusion**

The standardized application of multifunctional bending machines is of great significance for ensuring production safety, improving product quality and production efficiency. From equipment selection and installation, personnel training, processing preparation to operation process and quality inspection, every link needs to strictly follow specifications and standards. Only in this way can the advantages of multifunctional bending machines be fully utilized to create greater value for enterprises.

I hope that through the above explanation of the standardization of the application of multifunctional bending machines, you can have a deeper understanding of their importance and apply and promote them in practical work.
