Ensuring the safety and efficiency of the GHM Machinery Steel Bar Straightening Machine involves strict adherence to the following safety specifications:
- Operator Safety Attire: Operators must wear safety helmets, gloves, and rubber-soled shoes. They must also undergo safety briefings and be familiar with operating procedures to meet safety requirements.
- Machine Installation and Maintenance: The installation support, component connection bolts, and anchors of the steel bar straightening machine must be firm. Rotating parts should be lubricated with grease. Ensure the distribution box, wires, and cables are intact and undamaged, zero protection is effective and reliable, the electric shock protector is sensitive, and the clamps at both ends are not damaged.
- Safety Zones: Prohibit straightened steel bars from passing within a 2m area on both sides of lengths between 10 to 20m. Set up protective baffles and hang safety warning signs to block these zones.
- Transmission Mechanism: The transmission mechanism should operate smoothly without abnormal noise. Transmission gears and spline shafts should not have broken teeth, gnawing teeth, cracks, or surface shedding.
- Transmission Belts: Ensure the number of transmission belts is complete, undamaged, and appropriately tight.
- Straightening Cylinder and Shaft: The straightening cylinder and shaft should not be bent, cracked, or worn. The clutch should be sensitive and reliable, and the speed regulating sliding gear should slide flexibly.
- Automatic Blanking Mechanism: The opening and closing of the automatic blanking mechanism should be flexible. Blanking should be timely and accurate, and the connection of blanking rack components should be firm.
- Traction Wheel and Adjustment Mechanism: Ensure the traction wheel works effectively and the adjustment mechanism is sensitive. The slider’s movement should not be blocked, and the adjustment nut, return spring, and sprocket mechanism should be reliable.
- Machine Connections: Ensure firm connections between the machine base, motor, bearing seat, and straightening cylinder. All shafts and pin components should be fully installed and functional.
- Protective Covers: Do not feed before fixing the straightening block and covering the protective cover. Never open protective covers to adjust gaps during operation.
- Post-Straightening Procedures: Loosen and tighten first after straightening to prevent rebound and injury during cutting. Operate in a closed protective shed.
- Manual Handling: Avoid touching or pressing high and low voltage power lines when lifting and moving straightened steel bars.
- Bearing Temperature Monitoring: Regularly monitor the bearing temperature. If it exceeds 60℃, stop the machine and investigate the cause.
- Restricted Areas: Keep unrelated personnel away from the machine during operation. Be cautious when the steel bars on the tray are almost finished to prevent the ends from hitting people.
- Abnormal Conditions: If any abnormal situation or sound is detected in the transmission part, stop the machine immediately, cut off the power supply, and report to professional personnel for maintenance. Unauthorized maintenance is prohibited.
- Post-Operation Procedures: After completing operations or in case of a power outage, cut off the power supply, sort out processing materials, and lock the switch box.
Following these safety specifications ensures the safe, efficient, and productive operation of the GHM Machinery Steel Bar Straightening Machine.
