Proper maintenance of the fully automatic CNC steel reinforceing bar bending machine is essential to ensure its longevity, efficiency, and safety. This guide provides detailed instructions on the necessary maintenance tasks and precautions for optimal performance.
Introduction to Maintenance Matters
Regular maintenance is crucial for the CNC steel bar bending machine to function correctly and to prevent unexpected downtimes. Below are key maintenance tasks to perform:
- Drain the Water from the Air Compressor
- Frequency: Every 3-7 days
- Procedure: Check the air compressor regularly and drain any accumulated water to prevent moisture-related issues.
- Lubrication
- Components: Telescopic cylinder, gears
- Lubricants: Butter (grease) for the telescopic cylinder and gear oil for the gears
- Procedure: Regularly apply the appropriate lubricants to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear and tear.
- Daily Inspection of Screws
- Frequency: Daily
- Procedure: Inspect all screws on the hoop bending machine to ensure none are loose. Tighten any loose screws to prevent malfunctions or damage.
- Control System Protection
- Procedure:
-
- Keep the control system isolated from the external environment.
- Prevent dust, metal particles, and other debris from entering the control system.
- Regularly clean the control system area to ensure no contaminants affect its operation.
- LCD Screen Care
- Precautions:
-
- Protect the LCD screen from sharp objects and impacts.
- Avoid pointing, drawing, or tapping on the screen with fingers.
- Clean the screen gently with a soft paper towel or cotton cloth if it becomes dusty.
Additional Function: Straight Steel Bar Processing
System Parameter Adjustment
The hoop bending machine can be upgraded to handle straight steel bars in addition to coiled bars. Below are the instructions for adding and managing this function:
Increased Control Amount of Parameters
- Processing Mode: Switch between coiled steel bar processing and straight bar processing through the system options.
Loading and Feeding Distance
- Steel Bar Head Positioning:
-
- Adjust the sensor (straight bar sensor) to detect the distance from the signal position to the cutting edge.
- When the steel bar reaches the sensor position, the feeding motor should move to the set distance and stop, preparing for automatic processing.
Pressing Action Distance
- Steel Bar Recognition:
-
- Adjust the distance between the signal position and the discharging wheel detected by the proximity switch (straight bar sensor).
- When the steel bar reaches the sensor position, the feeding motor moves to the set position, and the discharging cylinder starts pressing the bar tightly.
Discharging and Feeding Distance
- Feeding and Discharging:
-
- Set the distance from the signal position detected by the proximity switch to the discharging wheel.
- Ensure the feeding motor and discharging mechanisms are accurately calibrated to handle the steel bars efficiently.
Summary
Maintaining a fully automatic CNC steel reinforceing bar bending machine involves regular inspection, lubrication, protection of sensitive components, and careful handling of the control system. Upgrading the system to process straight steel bars requires precise adjustment of parameters and careful monitoring of sensor positions. By following these guidelines, operators can ensure the machine operates efficiently and remains in good condition for an extended period.
