Operating Guidelines for Steel Bar Machine

Steel Bar Machine:Steel Bar Threading Machine

  1. Steel Bar Machine:Operator Designation: Assign a dedicated operator for equipment management.
  2. Safety Procedures: Adhere strictly to safety protocols for tapered thread threading machines.
  3. Understanding Equipment: Ensure a thorough understanding of the machine’s structure, principles, and performance.
  4. Focus During Operations: Maintain concentration; avoid laughter or playful behavior while operating the machine.
  5. Equipment Inspection: Conduct comprehensive inspections of the equipment and electrical systems before use to identify hazards.
  6. Securing Steel Bars: Clamp the steel bar securely during threading to prevent injuries.
  7. Cooling Measures: Implement effective cooling and safety measures to prevent splashing of iron filings.
  8. Cleaning Precautions: Do not clean dust or debris from blades during operation. Halt the machine for inspection and repair if necessary.
  9. Performance Limits: Avoid operating the machine beyond its specified performance limits.
  10. Cross Operation Method: Follow the “cross operation method” to ensure machine functionality.
  11. Maintenance Protocols: Prohibit maintenance and repair work while the machine is in operation.
  12. Post-Operation Procedures: Power down the machine and lock the gate box after completing work.

Steel Bar Machine: Steel Bar Straightening Machine

  1. Personal Protective Equipment: Wear safety helmets, gloves, and rubber-soled shoes while operating.
  2. Machine Checks: Verify machine stability, secure installation, and the integrity of all components before use.
  3. Restricted Access: Limit access within 2 meters of the machine’s sides during operation; install guardrails and safety signs.
  4. Lifting Techniques: Use proper lifting techniques with two-person cooperation when handling coiled steel.
  5. Length Limitations: Restrict straightened steel bar length to a maximum of 10 meters per operation.
  6. Appropriate Equipment: Select suitable straightening blocks and traction wheel grooves based on the steel bar diameter.
  7. Adjustments: Adjust straightening blocks as needed to ensure proper alignment and offset.
  8. Length Inspections: Regularly inspect steel bar length after cutting; adjust the length plate or limit switch as necessary.
  9. Final Straightening Precautions: Use a steel pipe before final straightening to prevent steel bar ejection.
  10. Safety Checks: Ensure fixed straightening blocks and closed protective covers before starting the machine; implement dust prevention measures during operation.
  11. Safe Distances: Maintain a safe distance from the traction wheel during operation.
  12. Temperature Monitoring: Monitor bearing temperature; stop the machine if it exceeds 60℃.
  13. Personnel Restrictions: Limit access to non-essential personnel near the machine during operation.
  14. Injury Prevention: Prevent steel bar ends from causing injury as coils are depleted.
  15. Reporting Protocols: Immediately report any abnormal conditions to the maintenance team; refrain from unauthorized maintenance.
  16. Post-Operation Procedures: Power down the machine and lock the switch box after operation or in the event of a power outage.

Steel Bar Cutting Machine

  1. Surface Alignment: Ensure the work surface aligns with the cutter; use additional personnel for longer steel bars.
  2. Cutter Inspections: Inspect the cutter for cracks, tighten blade holder bolts, and secure protective covers before starting.
  3. Empty Run Check: Conduct an empty run to check transmission and bearings before operation.
  4. Feeding Technique: Use the middle and lower parts of the cutter to securely feed steel bars; stand beside the fixed blade during operation.
  5. Material Limitations: Do not cut steel bars exceeding machine specifications; calculate the total cross-sectional area when cutting multiple bars.
  6. Cutter Replacement: Replace the cutter with a high-hardness type when cutting low-alloy steel.
  7. Safety Distance: Maintain a safe distance from the blade during short material cutting.
  8. Debris Removal Precautions: Avoid manual removal of debris during operation; keep non-operating personnel away from swinging steel bars.
  9. Immediate Action for Abnormal Conditions: Stop the machine immediately if abnormal sounds or conditions arise; power down and report to the maintenance team.
  10. Hydraulic Oil Checks: Check hydraulic oil levels and motor rotation direction before operating hydraulic cutting machines; release the oil valve and exhaust air from the hydraulic cylinder.
  11. Manual Hydraulic Settings: Ensure proper valve settings before using manual hydraulic cutting machines; wear insulating gloves during operation.
  12. Maintenance Procedures: Clean and lubricate the machine; power down after operation.

Steel Bar Bending Machine

  1. Workbench Leveling: Ensure a level workbench and machine table; prepare necessary mandrels and tools.
  2. Mandrel Installation: Install mandrels and forming shafts according to the steel bar diameter and bending radius requirements.
  3. Integrity Checks: Verify the integrity and secure installation of mandrels, iron stop shafts, and protective covers before operation.
  4. Idle Run Confirmation: Conduct an idle run to confirm normal operation before bending steel bars.
  5. Positioning Steel Bars: Insert steel bar ends into appropriate positions; use assistance for longer bars; avoid unnecessary pushing or pulling.
  6. Modification Restrictions: Do not alter mandrels, pins, or angles, or perform maintenance during operation.
  7. Protective Gear: Wear protective glasses when bending rusted or non-cold-drawn steel bars.
  8. Specification Adherence: Adhere to machine specifications when bending high-strength or low-alloy steel bars.
  9. Safety Distances: Maintain a safe distance from the machine body during operation; stack bent products securely.
  10. Diameter Limitations: Do not exceed the maximum diameter specified on the machine nameplate.
  11. Maintenance and Reversal: Perform maintenance or turntable reversal only after powering down the machine.
  12. Debris Removal: Clean debris from the turntable and seat holes after operation.
