In the punch press operating specifications, leverage amplifies returns, but also increases risk. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to operate with bare hands. Of course, the usual manufacturers do not allow operators. However, some small manufacturers can still do that. This mainly depends on the confidence of the press operator. If you are very confident, just turn your eyes and close your eyes. After all, this is a huge benefit for small manufacturers. So what do you need to pay attention to when operating the press? You can easily understand it with the following editor.

Good risk management

Risk control is the most difficult part of operating a punch press. When selecting a punch press that can be operated by the operator. Be sure to check if your manufacturer has risk management capabilities. It is best to be a mature protection device that is market-proven, familiar with different parts of the punch, can collect accurate inside information, has excellent protection features, and can support timely operation. How to manage risk. Also, make a stop loss, always pay attention to the state of the punch, stop the operation at the time when the operation is not good, and close the punch.

Choosing the right device

Equipment safety protection and control equipment is being used correctly. Transmission parts exposed on the surface of the machine must be fitted with a protective cover and should not be disassembled freely. Before starting the machine, make sure that the punch protection is complete. Driving or testing with the protective cover removed is prohibited.

Select the mold and check

Check the mold installation regularly. If there is looseness or slippage, it should be adjusted in time. When installing the mold, you need to open the slider to bottom dead center and adjust the closing height manually or by jog to prevent accidents caused by the deeper mandrel of the mold. The top and bottom dies must be aligned to ensure correct position and avoid eccentric mounting. The clamp must be firm and correct. Fix the punching die pair to the upper die first, and tighten the lower die if there is no abnormality in one operation. After making sure the mold is installed, move the machine tool and manually test the punch (empty). Simply rotating the machine manually or jogly before making sure the mold is adjusted, starting the machine is prohibited. After a lot of testing, we have confirmed that the machine is working and working fine.

Rhythm control

Non-workers cannot enter the punch room near the flywheel, transmission belt, and footswitch without permission to start punching.

The flywheel and clutch must be disengaged before turning on the motor.

When starting the motor, the direction of rotation of the flywheel must be the same as the rotation mark.

Machine tools must operate below their rated load and overload operation is strictly prohibited.

If the press is found to malfunction (loose rotating parts, malfunction of control device, loose mold, defects, etc.) or abnormal noise (continuous striking, cracking, etc.) during use, it should be immediately shut down and inspected. there is.

Therefore, there are many things to be careful of when operating a punching machine. Normal operation is possible with sufficient certainty. You can't be blindly confident. You need to control all aspects.
