How to reduce the setting time of bending machine

In recent years, sheet metal processing plants are more and more popular in the manufacture of complex bending machines, and most of them rely on the operator to complete the preparation and operation of the bending machine. Sheet metal processing industry in the machine tool and mold a number of technical advances, and now the machine tool can be stamping, cutting and bending and speed and accuracy beyond people's expectations.
Procedures (standard operating) is used to ensure consistency and reduce the number of parts and the resulting material waste. These SOP not only help to shorten the preparation time, but also improve the consistency of the bending sequence operation, but also can reduce the deviation caused by individual operators.
Prepare work order: one of the tools that can be used by the operator of the bending machine is to use the". In the form of a document, the work order is used to specify the tooling used for each purpose and the specific processing tasks.
Photo: the factory should consider using some snapshots to record the mold positioning and the special block. These photos can also be used as a reference for future applications.
In the open state of loading: another important means is a must in the machine in the fully open state under the load of mould is feeding, providing better access to the working space and the formation of relatively safe working environment for the operator.
Professional tools
The factory should also consider the use of appropriate procedures and tools, such as the above, the feeding device, so that workers can more quickly and effectively complete the regular processing tasks.
Auxiliary tool features: many step molding system includes punch seat, push-button type safety clip, quick change type 2V die pressing mechanism and electric, so operators alone can very quickly replace the mold. These systems also help operators to work more independently and efficiently without compromising safety.
Sectional die: to manufacture the precision grinding of the die assembly without the need to take the time to cut the mold to a certain length. Fine grinding die also reduces or eliminates the need for gasket adjustment. The sectional die has the advantages of light weight and good handling, which can reduce manual labor and fatigue, and reduce the possibility of accidents. In order to prolong the service life, the finishing die is also hardened and strengthened.
Mold logo: now almost all of the mold on the laser etching of the relevant information to facilitate the rapid identification of workers mold, planning and reordering. The information generally includes the category number, knife angle, radius, V shaped groove, length and rated tonnage.
Storage: cabinet mould mould can improve the preservation group safety and improved the dual benefits of materials / management tools, the use of storage system in order, do not have to die a custom length searching tool rack. In addition, the orderly storage allows managers to be more vigilant to monitor the state of the mold, so as to ensure high quality inventory, timely identification of mold wear and damage and determine the way and time to replace the mold.
Using the machining characteristics
The new type of bending machine provides advanced functionality and many of the features that can help the workers to operate the machine more efficiently. The operator who has the knowledge of the new machine tools can use these functions to improve the performance.
Workpiece mold specification memory: a new type of CNC bending machine has a common feature: the ability to store the workpiece specifications and all relevant processing information, such as mold type, position and bending sequence. Moreover, the CNC function enables the operator to store and access the tool library, which provides convenience for the management tool inventory.
Material thickness detection: the use of precision grinding die, bending machine can detect changes in material thickness and real-time bending calculation, thereby reducing the bending angle is too large or insufficient number of parts.
3-D graphical display and bending simulation: with the bending of the workpiece, these features can be displayed on the controller screen parts bending process, in order to avoid parts forming is not correct and the resulting material scrap.
Off line programming: bending machine off-line programming can save preparation time, because workers do not have to prepare parts processing procedures; part of the program can be prepared by the technical staff and passed to the bending machine.
General mold height: universal die height die series, can use the "plug and play" function to simplify the complexity of the mold adjustment. The general die height die is developed with the appearance of the CNC vertical moving back stop. In order to make use of the principle of "universal mold height", the vertical CNC control is necessary, because the universal mounting height is the same height as the bottom of the lower die opening (from the lower die seat). The die mouth at the lower die height must be increased. This is the reason why the universal die height die no longer needs to use the special pad or special gasket to drive the mold to be closed synchronously.
Small and complex parts are often subject to offset bending, 90 degree bending and leveling, and their preparation is usually performed on multiple machine tools or equipment. The utility model is characterized in that the die can be completed by a bending machine in the case of a single feeding or a universal die height die. Using general die height die, the operator can install 30 degrees all processing die, die, die Jiao Pingmo and gooseneck slant the mold seat on the same and finished parts.
Make full use of bending technology
The bending machine of the metal processing plant is currently facing a number of complex problems, the high cost of raw materials so that each piece must become a blank
