Key Points for Daily Maintenance of Cold Bending Machines: Practical Methods to Extend Equipment Lifespan

1. Regular Cleaning: Ensuring a Clean Operating Environment for Equipment

During prolonged operation, cold bending machines accumulate significant amounts of dust, iron filings, oil residues, and other debris. These contaminants can impair normal equipment function and even cause component wear. Consequently, regular cleaning forms the foundation of routine maintenance for cold bending machines. Cleaning operations must adhere to the principle of ‘disconnect power before cleaning’ to prevent accidents. Surface dust and metal filings may be removed using compressed air or cloth wiping. For critical internal components such as rollers, bearings, and guide rails, protective covers must be removed prior to thorough cleaning to ensure all surfaces are free of debris. Additionally, the lubrication and cooling systems require periodic servicing. Impurities and sediment within oil tanks, filters, and other components must be removed to maintain the cleanliness of lubricants and coolants, preventing blockages that could disrupt system functionality. Upon completion of cleaning, protective guards must be promptly reinstalled to ensure comprehensive equipment safeguarding.

2.Standardised lubrication: Reducing component wear

Lubrication is a critical process for reducing wear on cold bending machine components and extending equipment service life. Key moving parts such as roller bearings, drive gears, and guide rails require regular application of lubricating grease to form an oil film, thereby minimising friction and wear between components. During lubrication maintenance, the following points must be observed: Firstly, select appropriate lubricating grease. Different components operate under varying environmental conditions and stress levels, necessitating specific grease types and viscosities. Strictly adhere to the equipment manual's specifications when choosing corresponding lubricants, avoiding the mixing of dissimilar grease types. Secondly, control the quantity of grease applied. Excessive amounts may lead to grease accumulation, attracting contaminants and impairing component heat dissipation and operational flexibility. Insufficient quantities fail to form an effective oil film, rendering lubrication ineffective. Thirdly, adhere to fixed lubrication intervals. Establish a reasonable lubrication schedule based on the equipment's operating hours and workload intensity. Lubricate all designated points regularly while maintaining detailed lubrication records for subsequent traceability and management purposes.
