Features of SPRING Hydraulic Press Brake and How to Use It?

Structure and Features of SPRING Hydraulic Press Brake:

1. All-steel welded structure: Ensures sufficient strength and rigidity.
2. Hydraulic upper transmission: The oil cylinders at both ends of the machine are mounted on the slider, directly driving the sliding operation.
3. Synchronization mechanism: The slider synchronization mechanism uses a torsion bar for forced synchronization.
4. Mechanical stop structure: Stable and reliable.
5. Slider travel adjustment: Quick motorized adjustment, manual fine-tuning, and counter display.
6. Wedge-style deflection compensation mechanism: Ensures high bending accuracy.

How to Use Hydraulic Press Brake？

1. Power connection: Turn on the key switch on the control panel and press the oil pump start button to hear the pump operating (the machine does not move at this point).
2. Stroke adjustment: Adjust the stroke carefully before bending. Test the machine to ensure there is a sheet thickness gap when the upper mold reaches the bottom. This prevents damage to the molds and the machine. Adjustments can be made using either rapid electric adjustments or manual fine-tuning.
3. Selecting the bending groove: Choose a groove width that is generally eight times the thickness of the sheet. For example, for a 4mm sheet, select a groove around 32mm.
4. Back gauge adjustment: Usually involves both quick electric adjustments and manual fine-tuning.
5. Starting the bending process: Press the foot pedal to begin bending. Unlike a shearing machine, you can release the pedal at any time, and the press brake will stop. Pressing the pedal again will resume the operation.

How to Maintain Hydraulic Press Brake？

Before performing maintenance or cleaning the machine, align the upper mold with the lower mold and power off the machine. For other operations, set the mode to manual and ensure safety. Maintenance includes:

Hydraulic oil system:

1. Check the oil level in the tank weekly, especially after hydraulic system repairs. Add hydraulic oil if the level is below the oil window.
2. Use #46 hydraulic oil.
3. Change the oil after the first 2000 hours of operation, then every 4000-6000 hours. Clean the oil tank with each oil change.
4. Oil temperature should be between 35°C and 60°C, not exceeding 70°C to prevent oil and component degradation.

Filters:

1. Replace or thoroughly clean the filter with each oil change.
2. Replace filters if there are alarms related to oil quality or filter issues.
3. Inspect and clean the air filter on the oil tank every three months, ideally replacing it annually.

Hydraulic components:

1. Replace or thoroughly clean the filter with each oil change.
2. Replace filters if there are alarms related to oil quality or filter issues.
