Advantages

Regular Cleaning and Debris Removal

For the CNC press brake machine to work efficiently, it must be cleaned at all times, including the removal of all debris within the working area. If not taken care of, the debris can build up and lead to poor performance, and ultimately damage the machine. Regular cleaning will also ensure no corrosion or wear occurs on the machine.

Tooling Inspection and Replacement

It is important to regularly inspect the tooling. Poor-quality tooling that is worn or damaged can lead to rough bends and even cause the machine to break down. When the tooling is replaced when worn out, it allows decent bending effciency to be maintained.

Having a systematic maintenance plan for your press brake machine is very important for its optimal functionality. Always clean the press brake on a regular basis in order to avoid hindered performance because of debris, dust, or oil buildup. Look for leaks within the hydraulic system as well as verifying the quantity and quality of the oil. Hydraulic oil should be changed according to the required schedules. Parts which shift position such as slides and guides should have oil placed on them to prevent excessive friction. The tooling and ram should be checked for alignment periodically. Having misaligned tooling can make bending uneven and damage the machine. The electrical system should also be checked for any loose wirings or worn out components. Lastly, remember the machine needs periodic calibrating to maintain proper bending angles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you lubricate a press brake machine?

Dependable on the usage of the machine, lubrication intervals will vary. Usually, frequently used machines will need to be serviced with lubrication weekly or every two weeks. The lesser-used machines may only require lubrication every month. See the manufacturer requirements for the precise intervals.
Look for leaks in the hydraulic system, check for loose electrical connections, and inspect wear on mechanical parts such as gears, chains, and shafts. In addition, check the brake dies to be sure they aren't damaged and all parts are correctly aligned.
