2. 2. Installation of Machine

2.1 Lifting

It must be ensured that when lifting the press-brake for transportation and/or positioning it must be done with crane having sufficient lifting capacity so that there will be no risk of the press-brake falling.

When lifting use two slings of steel rope and shackles using the appropriate holes available at the top of the machine. The steel rope must be of an adequate size to lift the weight of the press-brake. It must also be of an adequate length, given that its weight carrying capacity diminishes when the angle between the ropes widens. (See Fig. 2)

2.2 Transport

When transporting the press-brake, keep in mind that the weight of the machine is concentrated mainly to the front. Ensure that the top ram of the press-brake is all the way down for manoeuvres or transportation.

When the press-brake is to be load onto the truck , the rear side of the machine is position as far as possible to the side of the vehicle.

The press-brake is to be anchored to the truck using steel rope

2.3 Installation

2.3.1 The foundation

To ensure that the machine works correctly and is not disturbed by vibrations check that the pavement is firm and steady. Prepare a concrete foundation, which must be adapted to the conditions of the ground, if necessary. And detail drawing of foundation as attachment.

Ensure that there must be adequate space surrounding the machine once position. This is necessary to cater for maintenance work and special jobs. Furthermore, an adequate space on either the left or right side of the press-brake equals to the length of the machine to cater for tool changing operation.

All exposed surfaces on machine are coated with rust guard, easily removable by kerosene or solvent.

2.3.2 Leveling

For the press-brake to function correctly, it is necessary that the machine be leveled correctly.

• Check that the press-brake is level horizontally by placing the spirit level on the machine table.
• Check that the press-brake is level vertically by placing the spirit level on the machine table.

Eventual adjustments are done by regulating the leveling bolts in the feet of the press brake

3. Electrical wiring

3.1 The following steps are to be cared for by the owner and must be carried out by specialized personnel.

• Check the machine nameplate and confirm that the wiring of the machine
• Corresponds to the available power in your facility.
• If the required power does not meet the requirement of the machine please contact your electrical supplier.
• The power incoming to the machine should be fused so that the machine can be fully disconnected for repair.
• The power incoming to the machine should be connected to the RST clamps in the control cabinet.
  • The Electric drawings check the following attachments, different controller has different drawings. Detail description as follows:
    • Connect the three-phase power lines to the inlet terminals in the electric box. The feet switch socket is under the box, plug the socket, then close the power switch QF and close the door of the electric box, the lamp HL1 is lighting shows the machine is powered on.
    • Start the oil pump motor button HL2 on the operation panel for a short while; observe the turning direction of the motor whether the direction it is correct or not. If it’s not correct, change the phase of the inlet lines, never change the internal lines inside the electric box, then start the oil pump motor.
    • Jog mode: after several minutes of normal operation, turn SA2 to the jog mode, step the foot switch “up”: the ram goes up, loosen foot switch the slider stops, continue to raise the ram up when touch the limit switch SQ1 will stop; step “down”, the ram quickly drops, due to the effect of the limit switch SQ2, the ram go down slowly to add pressure, loose the foot switch ram will stop.
    • Single travel mode: turn SA2 to “single time”, step “down” of the foot switch, the ram goes down first quickly—slowly---pressure keeping, then the ram automatically goes up to the upper limit switch SQ1. Adjust the working time of time relay KT1, make the working time meet the requirement of bending pressure on the work piece, adjust the pressure-keeping time of time relay KT2.
    • Continuity mode: turn the SA2 to “continuity”, step the foot switch for repeating the single travel mode. The time relay KT1 may adjust the waiting time of circulation.

Note: To guarantee the safety, machines with CE certificat without continuity mode.

4. Hydraulic system

4.1 Clean the hydraulic Oil

The hydraulic system has high requirement for the cleanliness of hydraulic oil. The clean of oil tank is very important.

When replace the hydraulic oil, you must discharge the cover of oil tank. Use the towel to clean the bottom of tank (do not use cotton yarn), then wash with cleaning coal oil gasoline. For limitation of tank cover, the arm cannot reach the end of tank; you can wrap the towel on the bamboo or stick to wipe each corner. Loosen the leaking plug or brake valve to leak out the dirt oil.

Use the cleaning towel to dry the sides and bottom of tank until it’s clean. If necessary, roll the dough at the welding seam or difficult cleaning places to cling the dirt, and then put on the cover.

4.2 Choose the hydraulic oil

The mark value of hydraulic oil is equal to the average value of viscosity, when the temperature is 40℃.

If the working pressure and temperature of hydraulic system is higher, and the working speed is slower, the chose hydraulic oil mark is higher.

It is recommended to use antiwar hydraulic oil ISO VG46# (the average value of viscosity is 46mm2/s, when the temperature is 40℃.). If the machine operates under 5℃ for a long period, you can choose hydraulic oil ISO VG32#.

It is also recommended not to use the machine at very low temperatures (below -5°). However, should this occur, and then let the machine run idle for a while. An oil heater can be fitted in circuit if required.

Under the normal working conditions the oil temperature must not exceed 70C. Under special conditions, oil cooler can be fitted necessary.

4.3 Fill the oil

The using oil must clean. Screw the nut of air filter, filling through air filter. If using the filling equipment with filter, you can open the cover of oil tank and fill directly. Observe oil gauge, when ram stops at Top Dead Spot, the hydraulic oil fills at 80~90% of interspaces.

Make the machine work, first idling then at maximum stroke to expel any air bubbles in the hydraulic circuit.

5. Standard control equipment

6. 6. Starting up the machine

Prior to the start-up of the machine, please check the following

• The guide ways is cleaned and greased.
• The hydraulic system is checked for any leakage.
• Check the oil level at the level gauge at the side of the tank with the top ram in the all up position. Top-up the oil is necessary.
• Check the sense of rotation of the motor by checking that the cooling fan is turning in a clockwise direction or, in any case, in the direction of the arrow. If this is not the case, invert two wires in the supply line. When doing this, it is important that the motor is made to work by inching.

6.1 Turn the machine on

• Turn on the main switch.
• Switch the selector to auto.
• Turn on the main motor by pressing the green button.

6.2 Turn the machine off

The press-brake must always be turned off when left unused for a few hours. When turning off, do the following:

• Select manual mode.
• Descend the ram by pressing the down pedal to make the top tool close to the V-die as possible.
• Press the stop button.
• Turn off the main switch.

6.3 Upper and lower tool setting (Tooling drawings See the attachments)

The upper tool and the selected V – opening must be aligned before any bending commence to ensure good bending result.  Ensure that the V-die base and table surfaces are clean before the following

Steps is carry out.

• Lower down the system pressure by turning the pressure – regulating knob anti-clockwise.
• Set the mechanical depth stop to low position either manually or electrically.
• Select MANUAL MODE and step the down pedal to lower the ram until the top tool is as near to the V-die as possible.
• Align the upper and lower tool by adjusting the V-die tightening bolt.
• Once the setting is correct, secure all the V-die tightening bolts.
• Raise the ram by stepping on the UP pedal.

We advice the following:

• To check regularly the fixing bolts of the tool clamp.
• To store the tool on a rack near the press-brake. This way to prevent the top tool against damage.
• Always remember that each tool has a maximum charge force.

Tools Change Procedure

÷TOP TOOL

When the top tool need to be change, do the following:

• Turn the mode selector to manual.
• Lower the ram as near to the V-die as possible.
• Turn the machine off.
• Loosen all the fixing bolts of the tool clamp.
• Remove the tool from the side of the machine.
• Mount the new top tool by sliding it in from the same side.
• Tighten all the fixing bolts of the tool clamp.

• Turn the machine on and check that the mode selector is on manual.
• Lower the ram to make the top tool sit in the V-die. When doing this reduce the system pressure by turning the pressure regulating knob anti-clockwise so as to avoid damaging the tool.

÷LOWER TOOL

When need to change a different vee on your multi-vee die, do the following:

• Free the V-die by unscrew all the tightening bolts.
• Turn the mode selector to manual.
• Turn the machine on.
• Lower the ram as near to the V-die as possible.
• Hook on the V-die to the ram at both end with the appropriate chain.
• Raise the ram by stepping the UP pedal to a height where the V-die can turn.
• Turn the desired Vee facing up.
• Lower the ram by stepping the DOWN pedal so that the die is resting on the machine table and to the point that the chains can be unhooked.
• Centre the Vee with respect to the top tool.
• Lock the V-die in place by tightening the bolts

÷FRONT SUPPORT ARM

The press brake is supplied with two front support arms as standard equipment. These are used for placing the plate on during the various bending phases. They can be adjusted vertically and along the length of the press brake. Support arms generally need to be adjusted when a different size bottom tool is used or a larger or smaller size plate is being bent.

DANGEROUS!

IF THE PUNCH AND DIE ARE NOT PLACED CORRECTLY, YOU MUST NOT START THE MACHINE, ANY TIME, DON’T PULL YOUR HANDS OR ANY PARTS OF BODY INTO THE SPACE BETWEEN PUNCH AND DIE, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!

6.4 Mechanical depths stop setting

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE MECHANICAL DEPTH STOP SETTING WHEN THE RAM IS AT THE DOWN POSITION AS THIS MAY CAUSE UNNECESSARY DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.

• The depth setting determines the bending angle.
• The mechanical depth stop could be set either manually or electrically.

6.5 Pressure Setting

Normally the bending chart is fixed on the side of the machine, a copy is enclosed. The bending force is function of :

-The plate thickness

-The width of the die opening. ( 8 x plate thickness )

The required bending force can be computed from the Table 1 formulate.

Table 1   Bending Pressure

Note: This formula and the values in table are all based on carbon-steel plates with tensile strength Qb=450KN.

Stainless steel plate: the P value from table multiply by 2

Aluminum plate: the P value from table multiply by 0.7

6.6 Parallelism control and setting

The parallelism of the ram is control by a solid anti-torsion bar, which is linked to both side oil cylinders. The top ram is calibrated parallel to the V-die at the factory. However, if re-calibration is needed please note the following steps:

• Find the torsion bar linkage connected to the top ram on rear (left side) of the machine
• Loosen the a screw (M8/M10) on the torsion bar
• Now, turn the outer flat piece about 15º to 30º (Clockwise or anti-clockwise) using the appropriate spanners, which in turn will rotate the eccentric pin inside
• Tighten back the screw (M8/M10) and check the parallelism of the top tam by test bend
• Repeat the above procedure until the required accuracy is reached.

7. Trouble shooting

7.1 Machine can not start
