When it comes to the metalworking industry, a Torsion Bar Double Servo Press Brake stands out as an essential piece of equipment. As a supplier of these advanced press brakes, I’m often asked about the installation process. In this blog, I’ll walk you through the step – by – step installation procedure of a Torsion Bar Double Servo Press Brake. Torsion Bar Double Servo Press Brake
Preparation Before Installation
Site Inspection
Before the actual installation, a thorough site inspection is crucial. The installation site should have a flat and solid floor. Uneven floors can cause the press brake to be unstable during operation, which may lead to inaccurate bending results and even pose safety risks. Measure the floor’s flatness using a level tool. The floor should have a maximum deviation of no more than ± 3mm within a 2 – meter range.
The site should also have sufficient space around the press brake for easy operation and maintenance. A clearance of at least 1.5 meters on each side and at the back of the machine is recommended. This allows operators to access all parts of the machine easily, and it also provides room for material handling and storage.
Electrical and Hydraulic Requirements
Check the electrical supply at the installation site. A Torsion Bar Double Servo Press Brake typically requires a three – phase power supply. The voltage should match the machine’s rated voltage, which is usually 380V or 415V, depending on the region. Also, ensure that the electrical panel is properly grounded. A good grounding system can prevent electrical shocks and protect the machine from electrical faults.
The hydraulic system of the press brake needs a clean and stable supply of hydraulic oil. The oil tank should be filled with the recommended type of hydraulic oil to the appropriate level. It’s important to use high – quality hydraulic oil that meets the machine’s specifications to ensure smooth operation and long – term performance of the hydraulic system.
Equipment Delivery and Unloading
Once the site is ready, the press brake is ready for delivery. During transportation, the machine is usually secured in a special container to prevent damage. When unloading the machine, use proper lifting equipment such as a crane or forklift. The lifting points on the press brake are clearly marked, and the lifting equipment should be attached to these points to ensure safe and stable lifting.
Installation Steps
Machine Assembly
The first step in the installation process is to assemble the main components of the press brake. Start by placing the base of the machine on the prepared floor. Align the base carefully according to the layout plan on the installation site. Use a level to ensure that the base is perfectly horizontal.
Next, attach the side frames to the base. The side frames are usually connected to the base using bolts. Make sure the bolts are tightened to the specified torque to ensure a strong and stable connection. Then, install the upper beam and the lower die base. The upper beam is the part that moves up and down during the bending process, and the lower die base holds the bending dies.
Torsion Bar Installation
The torsion bar is one of the key components of a Torsion Bar Double Servo Press Brake. It helps to ensure uniform bending across the length of the workpiece. Install the torsion bar on the side frames of the press brake. The torsion bar should be aligned precisely with the upper beam and the servo motors. Use special tools to adjust the position of the torsion bar to ensure that it rotates smoothly without any interference.
Servo Motor and Control System Installation
The servo motors are responsible for driving the movement of the upper beam. Install the servo motors on the side frames of the press brake according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the servo motors to the control system using the appropriate cables.
The control system is the brain of the press brake. It controls all the operations of the machine, including the movement of the upper beam, the pressure applied during bending, and the bending angle. Install the control panel in a convenient location where the operator can easily access it. Connect all the sensors and actuators to the control system to ensure that the machine operates correctly.
Hydraulic System Installation
The hydraulic system of the press brake provides the power for the bending operation. Install the hydraulic pump, valves, and cylinders according to the hydraulic schematic. Connect all the hydraulic pipes securely to prevent oil leaks. Before starting the hydraulic system, check the oil level in the tank again and make sure that all the hydraulic components are properly installed and adjusted.
Testing and Commissioning
Mechanical Testing
After the installation is complete, conduct a mechanical test. Move the upper beam up and down manually to check for any mechanical interference. The movement should be smooth and free of any jerks or noises. Check the alignment of the upper and lower dies. The dies should be parallel to each other to ensure accurate bending.
Electrical Testing
Perform an electrical test to check the power supply and the operation of the control system. Turn on the power switch and check if all the indicators on the control panel light up correctly. Test each function of the control system, such as setting the bending angle, adjusting the pressure, and starting and stopping the machine.
Hydraulic Testing
Start the hydraulic system and check the pressure and flow of the hydraulic oil. The pressure should be within the specified range, and the flow should be stable. Check for any oil leaks in the hydraulic pipes and components. If any leaks are found, tighten the connections or replace the seals.
Bending Test
Once all the mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic tests are passed, conduct a bending test. Use a sample workpiece to test the bending performance of the press brake. Set the bending angle and the bending force according to the requirements of the workpiece. Check the accuracy of the bending angle and the quality of the bent workpiece. Make any necessary adjustments to the machine settings to ensure optimal bending results.
Maintenance and After – Sales Support
After the installation and commissioning are successful, it’s important to provide proper maintenance for the Torsion Bar Double Servo Press Brake. Regularly clean the machine to remove dust and debris. Check the lubrication of all moving parts and add lubricant as needed. Inspect the hydraulic oil regularly and replace it when necessary.
