Usage and Maintenance of the Roll Forming Machines
- Lubrication Requirements
- Before using the machine, the operator must fill 32# mechanical oil into the cycloidal reducer. The oil level should align with the oil mark.
- For new machines: After rolling 5,000 square meters of plate, replace the oil. Subsequent oil changes should occur annually.
- Regularly check the oil level and refill as needed
- Roller Surface Maintenance
- Keep rollers clean to prevent debris from entering during operation.
- After use, spray oil on roller surfaces. If exposed to rain or high humidity, dry rollers with a cloth and apply anti-rust oil
- Chain Lubrication
- Add lubricating oil to the chain before initial use, then every six months.
- Roller Gap Adjustment
- The gap between rollers should generally equal the material thickness.
- Adjustments can slightly alter the formed plate’s width. Ensure uniform gap settings for consistency
- Hydraulic Cutting System
- Oil Selection: Use 32# or 46# hydraulic oil, filling to the oil mark.
- Guide Column Lubrication:
- For guide column-type cutters (equipped with oil-free bearings), no lubrication is needed.
- For stay-link-type cutters (other brands), lubricate the shifter with 30# oil three times per shift.
- Blade Maintenance:
- Blades (Cr12 alloy steel) can process ~100,000 squares before regrinding.
- To replace: Remove screws, grind the blade surface, reinstall, and align using the hydraulic cylinder as a reference
- Encoder Adjustment
- Clean the measuring wheel surface and check bearing functionality regularly.
- Adjust the spring tension via the screw nut:
- Avoid over-tightening (prevents pulse output) or over-loosening (risks encoder damage).
- Protect the encoder from impact (internal glass disc is fragile).
- Safety Precautions
- Do not place hands in the shear mouth while the pump motor is running.
- Avoid touching the press plate during operation.
- Perform moisture-proofing on-site.
- For long-term storage: Apply anti-rust oil to rollers and butter the chain.
