1. ** Pipe preparation ** : Place the pipe to be processed on the work table of the pipe bending equipment and determine its position.
2. ** Set parameters ** : According to the design requirements, set bending Angle, radius and other parameters.
3. ** Clamp the pipe ** : Fix the pipe through the fixture to ensure that no displacement occurs during the bending process.
4. ** Bending process ** : After the equipment is started, gradually apply force to bend the pipe into the desired shape according to the set parameters.
5. ** Test the finished product ** : After the bending is completed, the finished product is tested to ensure that it meets the design requirements.
#### four, the operation skills of bending equipment
To master the operation of pipe bending equipment, you need to master the following skills:
1. ** Familiar with the equipment structure ** : Before operation, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the various components of the bending equipment, especially the use of the control system and fixture.
2. ** Correct parameter setting ** : According to the type, thickness and bending requirements of the pipe, set the bending Angle and radius reasonably to prevent unqualified products due to improper parameter setting.
3. ** Reasonable selection of fixtures ** : Select the appropriate fixture according to different types of pipes to ensure that the pipes will not slip or deform during bending.
4. ** Pay attention to stable operation ** : During the operation, you should wear stable protective equipment to ensure your own stability. At the same time, keep the work environment clean to reduce the risk of accidents.
5. ** Regular inspection of the equipment ** : Before each use, check all parts of the equipment to ensure its normal operation and avoid losses caused by equipment failure.
#### Five, pipe bending equipment maintenance
Good maintenance is an important means to ensure the normal operation of pipe bending equipment and extend its service life. Here are some suggestions for maintenance:
1. ** Regularly clean the equipment ** : After the work, the metal chips and oil on the equipment should be cleaned in time to keep the equipment clean.
2. ** Check the lubrication system ** : Regularly check whether the lubricating oil of the equipment is sufficient, and timely supplement when necessary to ensure the normal operation of the mechanical parts.
3. ** Fastening nuts and screws ** : Periodically check the nuts and screws at the connecting parts of the device to ensure that they are tight to avoid loosening or falling off during operation.
4. ** Check the electrical system ** : Regularly check the electrical system of the equipment to ensure that the circuit is in good condition to avoid equipment shutdown caused by electrical failure.
5. ** Make records ** : Make detailed records of each maintenance process of the equipment for follow-up tracking and analysis.
