In the field of metal processing, the
3D wire bending machine, with its precise and efficient characteristics, has become a reliable assistant for numerous enterprises. However, to keep it performing at its best and extend its service life, daily maintenance is essential. Next, we will introduce in detail the daily maintenance methods and precautions for the 3D wire bending machine.
During the operation of the 3D wire bending machine, it will attract a large amount of dust, iron filings, and oil stains. If these impurities are not cleaned in a timely manner, they will affect the normal operation of the equipment.
- External Cleaning: After each work shift, use a dry soft cloth to wipe the machine shell to remove dust and stains on the surface. For stubborn oil stains, dip a small amount of neutral cleaning agent and wipe gently. Then, use a clean damp cloth to wipe off the cleaning agent residue, and finally dry it with a dry cloth.
- Internal Cleaning: Regularly open the equipment protective door and use compressed air to blow away the iron filings and dust on internal components such as the wire feeding mechanism, wire bending die, and straightening device. When blowing, be careful to avoid excessive air flow from damaging precision components. At the same time, for oil stains that are difficult to blow away, use a special cleaning brush dipped in an appropriate amount of cleaning agent for cleaning.
Long - term use may cause some components of the 3D wire bending machine to wear. Regular inspections can detect problems in a timely manner and avoid the expansion of faults.
- Wire Feeding Wheel Inspection: Check whether the surface of the wire feeding wheel has wear, grooves, or deformation. If the wire feeding wheel is severely worn, it will lead to unstable wire feeding and affect the wire bending accuracy. In case of slight wear, the pressure of the wire feeding wheel can be adjusted for compensation; if it is severely worn, it needs to be replaced in a timely manner.
- Wire Bending Die Inspection: Carefully check the surface finish and dimensional accuracy of the wire bending die. After frequent use, the die may experience wear and deformation, resulting in inaccurate wire bending shapes. If die wear is detected, it should be repaired or replaced according to the situation.
- Straightening Roller Inspection: Check the surface wear of the straightening rollers and the elasticity of the straightening springs. If the straightening rollers are unevenly worn, the wire straightening effect will be poor; if the spring elasticity is insufficient, it cannot provide sufficient straightening force. Worn straightening rollers should be replaced in a timely manner, and springs with insufficient elasticity need to be adjusted or replaced.
Good lubrication can effectively reduce friction between components, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the equipment.
- Determine Lubrication Points: According to the equipment operation manual, identify key lubrication points such as the wire feeding wheel shaft, the bearings of the straightening device, and the rotating parts of the wire bending die.
- Select Appropriate Lubricants: Select suitable lubricants, such as lubricating oil or grease, according to different lubrication points and working environments. Generally, high - speed rotating components are suitable for using lubricating oil, while parts under high pressure require the use of grease.
- Regular Lubrication: Lubricate each lubrication point according to the specified cycle. When lubricating, ensure that the lubricant is evenly applied and avoid omissions. At the same time, pay attention to cleaning old lubricants and impurities to ensure the lubrication effect.
As the usage time increases, the accuracy of the 3D wire bending machine may deviate. Regular calibration is necessary.
- Wire Feeding Accuracy Calibration: Use high - precision measuring tools to measure the wire feeding length and compare it with the set value. If there is a deviation, it can be calibrated by adjusting the parameters of the wire feeding motor or the transmission ratio of the wire feeding wheel.
- Wire Bending Angle Calibration: Use an angle measuring instrument to measure the actual angle of wire bending and compare it with the angle set in the program. If the angle deviation exceeds the allowable range, the position of the wire bending die or the parameters of the wire bending mechanism need to be adjusted.
- Comprehensive Accuracy Testing: Regularly conduct comprehensive accuracy tests. Use standard wires to perform wire bending processing according to the set program, and then comprehensively inspect the wire bending products, including length, angle, shape, etc., to ensure that the overall accuracy of the equipment meets the requirements.
- Operation Specifications: Operators must undergo professional training and operate strictly in accordance with the operating procedures. During the operation of the equipment, it is strictly prohibited to reach into the dangerous area with hands or other objects to avoid accidents.
- Environmental Requirements: The 3D wire bending machine should be placed in a dry and well - ventilated environment, avoiding humid, dusty, or corrosive gas environments. At the same time, ensure that the equipment is well - grounded to prevent electric shock accidents.
- Record Maintenance Situations: Establish detailed equipment maintenance records, including the time, content, and results of various maintenance tasks such as cleaning, inspection, lubrication, and calibration. By analyzing the maintenance records, potential problems of the equipment can be detected in a timely manner, and the maintenance plan can be adjusted reasonably.
Through the above comprehensive and meticulous daily maintenance, the 3D wire bending machine can always maintain a good operating state, not only extending its service life but also greatly improving production efficiency and product quality. We hope that all users will pay attention to equipment maintenance and make the 3D wire bending machine a reliable partner in your production.
