How to maintain press brake?
Check whether the liquid valve of the press brake mold is fully opened. If it is oil contaminated, the filling valve spool is not flexible, resulting in insufficient filling. The filling valve of the press brake needs to be cleaned and reinstalled.
Check whether the solenoid coil of the overflow valve of the press brake is energized. Whether the voltage of the solenoid coil meets the standard.
Check whether the cartridge valve or the main valve core of press brake is stuck. Whether the orifice is blocked. Disassemble the overflow valve of the press brake mold. Clean and reinstall it.
Check the oil level of the mold oil tank of the press brake to see if the oil level is too low. If the filling port is not filled with water, the upper cavity of the cylinder is filled with liquid during fast forwarding, causing insufficient filling. Add the oil in the fuel tank to more than 5mm above the filler port to make sure to submerge the filler port completely.
All the rollers and corresponding parts in the press brake must be refueled, which is three times a week.
Put butter on the upper and lower blades of press brake. Add oil three times a week. Lubricate the clutch area of the knife.
The seal coil in the cylinder of the press brake must be cleaned and lubricated at the place where the sheet metal is bent.
The oiling work of the sliding bearing and the feeding frame of the press brake needs to be carried out every three days.
When refueling the place of the feeding shaft presser plate of press brake, we need to use a grease gun to inject the oil. Clean the place where the oil is added before refueling.
If it is to refuel the connection of the brake of press brake, move it back and forth after refueling. Lubricate it three times a week and pay attention to cleaning.
An inspection of press brake will allow to notice and address small issues before they become significant problems.
Verify that the press brake is in clean condition. The table and die area should be free of mill scale.
If the press brake is tooled up or a different toolset needs to be set up, verify the punch and die alignment and inspect the condition. The punches and dies should be free of dents. Indentations and cracks show that the tool has been overstressed needed to be reconditioned or replaced.
The proper operation of press brake, including up button, e-stops, foot pedal control, and indication lights should be in good condition within few seconds.
If additional guarding is present, make sure it is set up according to specifications.
Hydraulic oil is the lifeblood of press brake. It is vital to keep the oil clean and filling the oil reservoir. Check the oil level in the tank periodically. An insufficient oil level will cause erratic operation of the ram and damage the hydraulic pump.

The shearing machine is a professional equipment for sheet metal cutting, which is widely used in the cutting of thin sheets of automobiles, shipbuilding, building materials, hardware machinery, and metal structures. Shearing machine is welded by steel plate, which has a compact structure.
How many types of shearing machines are there?
How to choose shearing machine?
How to choose the cutting tool of shearing machine?
Dedicated shearing machine is always combined with other equipment to complete special purposes. Cold-formed line shearing machine is a special shearing machine configured on production lines. Steel-structure line shearing machine is mostly for angle steel and H-beam automatic production lines to complete the shearing process. Plate and line shearing machine is a high-speed shearing machine designed to meet the high-speed cutting requirements of the production line for the plate uncoiling and leveling line. Hydraulic high-speed shearing machine is available for thick plate line, while the thin plate line is equipped with pneumatic shearing machine.
The upper and lower blades of oblique-blade shearing machine form an angle. The upper blades are inclined, whose inclination angle is from 1° to 6°. The shearing force of this type shearing machine is smaller than that of the flat-blade one. It has a wide range of applications.
Flat-blade shearing machine has good quality and small distortion. But the shearing force and energy consumption are large. There are more mechanical transmissions. The upper and lower blades of the shearing machine are parallel to each other, which are used in hot-cutting of blooms and slabs in rolling mills.
Combined-punching shearing machine can do the cutting of the plate and the profile, which is mostly used in the blanking process. Sheet-bending shearing machine contains two processes that shearing and bending can be performed on the same machine.
Determine the specifications and parameters of the shearing machine according to your own demands. You should consider the required range of the m aterial thickness of the sheared material. You can contact the manufacturer for recommendations if you are not sure.
Confirm which manufacturers produce the shearing machine to be purchased. The model produced by different manufacturers is different. Therefore, users should pay special attention to choosing the best one. Choose some manufacturers for comparison, such as the quality and the after-sales service.
It is better to pay attention to the overall condition of the shearing machine manufacturer. It is recommended to visit the factory. After removing the highest and lowest prices, choose a trustworthy manufacturer to get better price and performance ratio.

V groover machine is a V-type slotting equipment designed for steel plate. V groover machine often plays a role as a sheet metal bending machine and cutting auxiliary equipment. It is widely used in the sheet metal V-groove, U-groove, and other irregular groove processing.
What are the types of V groover machines?
How to choose V groover machines?
How about the market situation of V groover machine?
The working table of vertical CNC V grooving machine is small and narrow. The planer is fixed in a straight-line position to the working table. Variable factors can be so well-controlled that the position accuracy is in the range of 0.02mm. When the vertical V groover machine is working, the holder part moves back and forth. Vertical V groover machines have many separate pressing plates and independent clamps. It can do both horizontal and vertical grooves. The surface is made of high-quality mold steel, which goes through overall heat treatment after a grinder refined.
The working table of horizontal CNC V grooving machine is larger and easier to work. The knife is facing a platform with 1.5 meters width and more than 4 meters length. The accuracy is lower. When the horizontal V groover machine is working, the gantry and the holder move back and forth together. Its energy consumption is more than 10 times than that of the vertical V groover machine. A horizontal V groover machine is available for large sheet metal. It cannot be able to horizontal gouging. The working table is welded by a common iron plate, causing spots on the processed products for long-term use.
When choosing a V groover machine, considering the materials such as steel bars, concrete walls, and stones. Once they are encountered, you must choose a diamond blade. With high hardness, it is widely used for cutting marble, steel bars, stones and other super-hard materials.
The power of V groover machine is an important indicator. In fact, it does not mean the higher the power the better the V groover machine. In the ordinary grid lines, it cannot withstand the 4000W power at all. Three-phase power is required to achieve smooth operation.
The size of the V groover machine motor determines its power. The larger the size of the motor, the greater the power. The power can be obtained by measuring and comparing the diameter of the stator and the length of the rotor.
Groove depth should be measured by two dimensions: the distance from the center of the tool shaft to the tool cover and the height of the tool beyond the bottom of the V groover machine. The larger the distance, the larger the diameter of the blade that can be installed. The higher the distance, the deeper the groove. It is best to choose V groover machine with deeper and wider grooves.
Also, you should choose a V groove machine that can adjust the depth of slotting to meet different demands.
Chins will continue to support the development of CNC V grooving machine. During the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan period, we will continue to invest the CNC industry greatly to elevate the cultivation of core competitiveness, innovate independently, integrate quantitatively and build brand.
Numerical control processing is the trend of high-quality, high-precision, high-yield, and high-efficiency development in the V groover machine industry. The good development trend shows that the demand is still at a high level. Companies should seize the opportunity and strive to realize the transformation of V groover machine from low-end to high-end, from primary processing to high-precision manufacturing.
