As an important equipment in the metal processing field, the daily maintenance of the
3D wire bending machine is crucial for extending its service life and improving its stability and reliability. Below, we will introduce in detail the daily maintenance methods and precautions of the 3D wire bending machine.
![Operation Skills and Steps of 3D Wire Bending Machines 1]()
- Preparation Work: Before threading, ensure that the wire surface has no obvious scratches, rust and other defects, so as not to affect the wire bending effect and machine performance. At the same time, select appropriate wire feeding wheels and straightening mechanism parameters according to the material and diameter of the wire.
- Specific Steps: Introduce one end of the wire into the wire feeding mechanism, and trigger the wire feeding through the push - pull rod, so that the wire moves forward slowly along the set path. During the threading process, pay attention to the wire's direction to ensure that it passes smoothly through each guide wheel and straightening component, avoiding wire jamming.
- Tool Selection: According to the required wire bending shape, size and wire material, find the corresponding size of the tool. Different wire bending tasks require different types of tools, such as circular, square, special - shaped tools, etc. Be sure to select the appropriate tool, otherwise it may lead to insufficient wire bending accuracy or tool damage.
- Tool Installation: First, clean the tool installation part, removing oil stains and debris. Disassemble three groups of wire feeding rollers to make room for tool installation. Then accurately install the selected tool onto the corresponding tool holder to ensure that the tool is firmly installed without looseness. Use special tools to tighten the fixing bolts. After installation, manually rotate the tool to check if its rotation is smooth.
- Equipment Installation: Place the 3D wire bending machine on a flat and solid ground, ensuring that the equipment is placed horizontally to avoid vibration during machine operation caused by uneven ground, which may affect the wire bending accuracy and equipment stability. Connect relevant lines such as power supply and air source (if required), and ensure that the lines are correctly and firmly connected without the risk of electric leakage or air leakage.
- Straightening Mechanism Adjustment: Adjust more than seven straightening bearings. According to the diameter and material of the wire, reasonably adjust the pressure and angle of the straightening bearings. Generally, for thicker and harder wires, the straightening pressure needs to be appropriately increased; for thinner and softer wires, the pressure should be reduced to achieve the best straightening effect. During the adjustment process, the straightening effect can be observed by trial - threading, and the straightening bearings are continuously fine - tuned until the wire can be straightened without obvious deformation.
- Cleaning and Maintenance: After each use, promptly clean the dust, oil stains, iron filings and other debris on the machine surface. Wipe the machine shell with a clean rag. For stubborn oil stains, an appropriate amount of special cleaning agent can be used. At the same time, clean the remaining wires and impurities in the wire feeding mechanism, wire bending die and other parts to prevent their accumulation from affecting the normal operation of the machine.
- Lubrication Treatment: Regularly lubricate all moving parts of the machine, such as the wire feeding wheel shaft, straightening bearings, wire bending die rotating shaft, etc. Select the appropriate lubricating oil or grease according to the requirements of the equipment operation manual and fill it at the specified lubrication points. Lubrication can effectively reduce component wear, reduce operating noise, and improve the operating efficiency and service life of the machine.
- Component Inspection: Regularly inspect all components of the machine, including whether screws and nuts are loose, whether wires and air pipes are damaged, and whether sensors are working properly. If loose screws are found, tighten them in a timely manner; if wires or air pipes are damaged, replace them in a timely manner; if sensors malfunction, debug or replace them to ensure that all components of the machine are in good working condition.
- Operator Training: Operators must undergo professional training and be familiar with the operation procedures and safety precautions of the 3D wire bending machine before they can start operating. Untrained personnel are strictly prohibited from operating the machine without permission to avoid safety accidents.
- Operating Parameter Setting: During the operation process, set the machine's operating parameters such as wire feeding speed, wire bending angle, bending radius, etc. strictly in accordance with the process requirements. Do not change the parameters randomly to avoid affecting the wire bending quality or causing machine damage.
- Emergency Handling: During the operation of the machine, in case of an emergency such as abnormal noise, smoking, or fire, immediately press the emergency stop button, cut off the power supply, stop the machine operation, and promptly notify professional maintenance personnel for handling.
Through the above introduction of the daily maintenance methods and precautions of the 3D wire bending machine, it is hoped that users can better maintain the equipment, keep the 3D wire bending machine in good operating condition at all times, and provide stable and reliable support for production and processing. In the actual operation process, users also need to flexibly adjust the maintenance cycle and methods according to the specific conditions and usage frequency of the equipment to ensure the long - term stable operation of the equipment.
