Checks for Maintaining a Press Brake – Raymaxbending

It is so important for a press brake to get good maintenance, this will last its time of use, its good performance, and ensure the safety of operators. And of course, regular maintenance can prevent unexpected shutdowns, save the money you spend on repairing, and keep the quality goods you make. In this article, we are here to advise you on maintaining your press brakes effectively.

Making it Clean is Important

Press Brake

Keeping the press brake clean and tidy is a very important mission. This is because metal shavings, oil, or light particles such as dust can adhere to the press brake, which can lead to problems with the machine over a long period. If you want to have an efficient, error-free bending machine for your production, you need to:

Wipe down the exterior surfaces regularly, paying special attention to the bed, ram, and tooling areas. Use a vacuum cleaner or brush to remove debris from tight spaces, especially around tools and work areas.

You will need regular cleaning such as tidying up surfaces and wiping down tools such as beds, you can use tools such as vacuum cleaners or brushes to remove debris from small spaces, but always remember to work in an environment where the power has been cut off for safety.

A Lubrication Check is Necessary

Checking the lubrication of your bending machine is also a very important part of the process, you need to check the lubrication regularly, such as the rest of the moving parts. It is recommended that you use the lubricant you purchased with your bending machine and use it in the dosage indicated, as too much dosage can lead to more fouling and affect production, while not enough lubricant can lead to friction, which can cause damage to your machine.

Tooling Inspect and Replace

You need to regularly check your bending machine’s tooling for wear and tear, such as cracks, chipping, and deformation. Because quality problems with tooling can lead to substandard production and, in extreme cases, damage to your bending machine, if you notice this, replace them immediately. Unaligned, easily cracked molds can even pose a safety hazard.

Calibration Check

Bending machines may lose their calibration and alignment after undergoing intense work, and you should check them regularly. Checking from the range of bed, ram, and back gauge, it is important to make sure that the bending operation is accurate. This is so that you can produce a compliant product, and the operation should be inspected by an experienced technician.

Adjust Settings

Adjust Settings

You should have the operator periodically record and monitor the stroke, bending speed, and pressure of the bending machine. There may be times when you are bending different materials and you need to adjust the settings accordingly, as incorrect settings can cause the bending machine to apply incorrect forces, which can lead to wear and tear on the machine.

Recording

When you perform maintenance, you can make a list and arrange for a professional to follow the steps. For example, cleaning, lubrication, inspection, repair, etc. should be on the maintenance list. The list will be organized into a log, the log will help you track the maintenance history of the bending machine and maintenance, when necessary, you can based on the maintenance situation determine whether the machine needs to be replaced or accessories.

Conclusion

The maintenance of the bending machine can not only reduce your non-essential expenses but also ensure that your bending machine can produce stable and standardized products to achieve the purpose of promoting the development of your industry.
