Mold installers need to have professional knowledge in operating pipe bending machines and correctly adjusting pipe bending molds, which is crucial for the quality of pipe bendingOften important. The mold must be suitable for the size of the machine. If the bending degree of the pipe is greater than the original value and the machine load is too large, it will cause mechanical performance failure and may harm the operators.Mold installation personnel must cultivate a sense of personal safety awareness, and mold installation must be carried out with a safe attitude. All mold installers should be aware of the importance of their own safety,And provide a safe operating environment for others while performing work.When the oil pump motor is started, do not place your hands, fingers, or any part of your body in the mold operation area.2. Do not install, adjust, or move the mold until you have read or understood the mold installation instructions in the manual.3. When working or approaching the machine, do not wear a tie, jewelry, or loose clothing.If the mold is too heavy to be lifted by hand, appropriate mechanical lifting methods should be used. Lifting rings should be installed on the mold and used during the lifting process to maintain the stability of the mold parts.Before installing the mold, it should be wiped clean and cleaned of dust, metal shavings, or other foreign matter and dirt. Otherwise, it may cause mismatch and result in personal injury or damage to the machine or moldBad.6. When different operations require changing the control settings of the pipe bending machine, please confirm whether the setting of the selector switch is correct.

What problems may occur during the use of the pipe bending machine

With the development trend of new technologies, the quality and technology of pipe bending machines in China have become quite complete and stable compared to pipeline production equipment such as hydraulic pipe bending equipment, automatic pipe bending equipment, laser pipe cutting machines, and locks. Everyone is not easy to explore. Due to the emergence of new technology applications in the past, the stability level of mechanical equipment characteristics is relatively sensitive, but now the pipeline production line equipment is basically stable, so attention should be paid to maintenance after purchasing a processing center.In this way, when the pipeline is inserted into the journal, the iron pin will come out, and the remaining iron pin will fall into the car fuel tank. As is well known, the pipe bending machine uses an oil pump to input oil and displays hydraulic pressure according to the car relay. Therefore, after this type of iron pin enters the car fuel tank, most of it will be ejected by the filter of the input oil pipe, but very few iron pins will enter the oil pump, causing the iron pin of the suction oil pump to enter the car relay. But this type of iron pin cannot flow in the car relay, causing the hydraulic relay to be blocked, the oil to not flow, resulting in the failure of the matching state, and the inability of the bending equipment to work properly.But what are the common problems that pipe bending machines often encounter in daily use? In the technical draft of system logging, I believe this issue has been mentioned for a long time. People often say that there is a problem in the area where the hydraulic press is located, because when the machine and equipment are at the elbow, fiber laser cutting the pipeline will leave a large number of small iron pins. If this type of iron pin cannot be cleaned thoroughly, the bent pipe in the pipe bending machine will immediately encounter it. But many of the long worn materials of the pipe bending machine are bent by the core shaft, which may wrinkle or collapse in the pipe bending machine.

How to load test the pipe bending machine and its role in pipeline installation

Bends are important components widely used in various industrial fields, and are generally bent using pipe bending machine equipment. So how to conduct load tests on the pipe bending machine?




1. Each fully automatic machine should undergo a full load test and bend the pipe fittings twice (with a bending angle of 180 °) according to its maximum rotational torque.




2. During the full load test, the operation of the fully automatic pipe bending machine should be stable, reliable, and comply with relevant regulations.




When conducting type tests on 3 pipe bending machines and new or updated products, overload tests should be carried out. The overload test should be carried out three times using a fully automatic pipe bending machine, bending the pipe fittings with a high rotational torque of 110% (bending angle of 180 °). Batch standardized production is allowed to undergo sampling inspection, with a sampling rate of 10% of each batch's output, but not less than one unit.




With the development of society, the demand for various types of bent pipes in various industries will rapidly increase, and the precision requirements for pipe bending forming will also become higher and higher. This prompts people to conduct in-depth research on pipe bending processing technology and equipment.




What important roles does the pipe bending machine play in pipeline installation.




When installing pipelines, it involves site requirements and requires the use of various bends, such as 90 ° and 45 ° bends. Due to the use of a large number of bent pipes and the complexity of the on-site situation, it is not possible to make all the bent pipes in advance. The use of fully automatic equipment allows for direct on-site operation, which is very convenient.






When bending pipes, some conditions need to be met: construction drawings and standard drawings have been prepared and reviewed. When using an automatic pipe bending machine to bend, the operator's face should avoid the bent steel pipe to prevent the pipe bending machine from slipping and injuring people. When using fire to simmer and bend, it is prohibited to stand at the pipe mouth to prevent injury from blasting. The position of the coal furnace should be in contact with the fire department, and flammable materials surrounding it must be eliminated. The fire must be extinguished before work to prevent accidents.

What problems will occur in the production of pipe bending machine

Pipe bending machines are widely used in industries such as sheet metal, hardware products, steel structures, precision machinery, automotive parts, glasses, jewelry, nameplates, advertising, handicrafts, electronics, toys, packaging, etc. They can cut metal and various non-metallic sheets and pipes. Especially suitable for stainless steel plates, iron plates, aluminum materials, copper plates, pipe bending machines/stainless steel laser pipe bending machines are commonly known as metal laser pipe bending machines.
Cutting of materials such as ceramic, silicon, and diamond. The pipe bending machine uses a metal laser with a xenon lamp as the excitation source to output a high-energy density laser beam, causing local instantaneous melting and gasification of the area illuminated by the light spot on the workpiece. The CNC mechanical system is controlled by a computer to move the position of the light spot and achieve automatic cutting. A high-tech equipment that integrates laser technology, CNC technology, and precision mechanical technology.
The typical structure of a metal strain gauge for a pipe bending machine is composed of a sensitive gate, substrate, coating layer, and lead wire. In the application of sensors, the strain of the elastic body is transformed into a change in resistance value through the resistance strain effect of the sensitive gate. Based on the inherent hysteresis of the material, the strain gauge itself also exhibits hysteresis. Sealant: A large amount of sealant is used in the production process of the sensor in the pipe bending machine, mainly for fixing the circuit and sealing.
On the surface, it is generally relatively soft after curing, and the relative strength of the elastomer can be almost ignored. However, for small-scale products, consideration must be given. Small range products have relatively weak deformation zones, and the influence of sealant thickness is significantly increased.

How to use soft start for pipe bending machine

As a type of sheet metal shearing equipment, the pipe bending machine has been widely used, but due to the high power of its main driving motor, the starting current of the pipe bending machine will also be higher. In order to avoid the impact of excessive starting current on the power grid, corresponding starting current limiting measures are adopted in the pipe bending machine, and the most effective way is to use a soft start system.

Pipe bending machine

The so-called soft start is actually a depressurization start, and after the pressure decreases, the starting current will also decrease. The most commonly used step-down starting methods include star angle starting, stator series resistance starting, and autotransformer starting, which replace the original starting method and protect the power grid from damage while ensuring the normal operation of the pipe bending machine. When the motor in the pipe bending machine starts, a certain amount of starting current is generated, which often has adverse effects on the power grid. So for motors with larger capacity like this, it is generally not allowed to start under load. Soft start is the most suitable option for pipe bending machines.

How to distinguish the importance and quality of mold installation for pipe bending machines

After installing the mold of the pipe bending machine, the pipe bender is really complete. Whether it is a hydraulic pipe bender or a CNC pipe bender, the installation of the pipe bender mold should be paid attention to.
The installation of the elbow mold is very important. Mold installation personnel must have the expertise to operate the elbow machine and adjust the elbow mold properly, and the quality of the elbow is stressed. The mold must be applied to the mechanical size, bend the pipe fittings larger than the original value, the mechanical load is too large, the mechanical properties fail, and the operator is seriously endangered.
1. In the environment of starting the oil pump motor, arrange the hand, finger or any part of the body in the mold running area.
2. Do not use the mold installation instructions on the manual without reading or understanding, but install, mediate or move the mold.
3, do not wear ties, jewelry or loose clothes when things are happening or near the machine.
4, if the mold is too heavy to lift by hand, should use the appropriate machine lifting essentials. The hanging ring is arranged on the mold to connect the stability of the mold parts during suspension.
During the operation of the automatic pipe bender, the parts of the pipe bender can be maintained under harsh environmental conditions (such as rain), improper operation and misoperation, and overload. All systems of the pipe bending machine are suitable for operation in the environment of ±40℃ and 0 ~ 100 humidity. The pipe bending machine is suitable for local use at an altitude of 0 ~ 3000m. The pipe bending machine should select a suitable workplace before working. The quality of a fully automatic pipe bending machine is very important for the quality of the products produced in the future, so how to identify the quality of the pipe bending machine?
1. Mold base hardness and mold hardness are also the key to the normal use of the equipment in the future. When the mold hardness is lower than Rockwell HRC60 mold hardness is lower than Rockwell HRC50, it will affect the clamping quality of the hose.
2. Measure the main parameters of the equipment: let the equipment be in the state of air transport, touch each mold block with your hand, and the feel should not shake, otherwise it is regarded as unqualified products.
3. Install the equipment on the mold, buckle a sample joint, and measure the buckle joint with a caliper or micrometer. The circularity and taper should be buckle within 0.1mm, which is considered excellent.
4. Check the equipartition of the eight valves of the mold base and the flatness of the mold. Good equipment will do special control adjustment for these two items, and some poor quality equipment does not control the above two parameters.
