2. 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 and Adjustment

1. 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.
2. 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.

Daily Maintenance Methods

1. 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.

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.

Check for Component Wear: Prevent Problems Before They Occur

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Lubrication Maintenance: Let the Equipment "Breathe Smoothly"

1. 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.
