A press brake is a metal processing machine mainly used to plastically deform metal sheets, strips, tubes or other metal profiles by pressure, so as to form specific angles and shapes. It has a wide range of applications in manufacturing, especially in metal structures, shipbuilding, automotive, aviation, construction, furniture and many other industries where it is an essential piece of equipment.
The use of press brakes is highly dangerous and is a key point of accident prevention.
Press brake operation requires manual operation, a little carelessness may cause injuries, such as finger clips, abrasion and cuts and other mechanical injuries. If the parameter adjustment errors or inattention may lead to mould collapse, the workpiece flying hit the operator, resulting in serious injuries. When the operator is not wearing goggles, the sparks generated by the bending of the metal sheet may hit the eyes.
Press brake in use is prone to equipment failure, such as hydraulic oil temperature is too high, mechanical component failure, etc., these failures will not only affect the normal operation of the equipment, but also cause safety hazards to the user.
Press brake needs electricity supply to work, if the electrical wiring problems, may cause electric shock hazards.
In order to reduce the press brake safety accidents, you need to master the relevant protective measures, such as the improvement of equipment safety protection devices, the implementation of operating norms and so on. At the same time, strengthening safety awareness and regular maintenance is also the key to prevent accidents. Specific protective measures are as follows.
In the press brake with safety protection devices, such as press brake safety grating, protective doors and guardrails, emergency stop button, foot switch, etc., can effectively prevent accidental injury and other safety hazards.
The safety grating monitors and controls the entry area of the human body by transmitting and receiving light. When an object or person crosses the grating area, the grating device can send out an alarm signal in time and stop the operation of the press brake, thus ensuring the safety of the operator. press brake to add safety grating can greatly improve the safety of the workplace, effectively reducing the occurrence of accidents.
Protective doors and guardrails are important safety measures that can effectively isolate the operator from the dangerous areas of the press brake. Protective doors can be set up interlocking devices, when the door is opened, the power system of the press brake will automatically cut off the power, the relevant dangerous action stops, to prevent the operator in the guardrail open into the danger zone under the circumstances of the press brake accidentally start causing injury.
Emergency stop button is a kind of emergency safety device, usually only need to press the button can immediately cut off the power supply. It does not require complex operating steps, such as pulling out the switch or disengaging the power supply, just simply press it to achieve emergency braking. In practice, the emergency stop button plays a vital role in ensuring operator safety. It can quickly cut off the power supply or power source in an emergency to avoid personnel injury and equipment damage caused by machine failure or improper operation.
The foot switch can precisely control the start and stop of the press brake, especially in the emergency stop function, which can protect the safety of the operator at the critical moment. The design of the foot switch makes the operation more humane, the operator can release the foot at any time to pause the operation, and then continue when needed, which not only reduces the risk of misuse, but also improves work efficiency.
Personnel operating the press brake must be professionally trained and assessed, and strictly comply with the specifications for the use of equipment, not overloaded operation or unauthorized alteration of equipment.
Press brake as an important equipment for industrial production, regular maintenance is indispensable.
Cleaning:When cleaning, special cleaners should be used to wipe the surface of the body oil, iron filings, transmission components and hydraulic pipeline high-pressure cleaning to prevent impurities affecting the operation.
Inspection: Inspection covers mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems to see whether the bolts are loose, whether the lines are aging, and whether the hydraulic oil quality is up to standard, etc., so as to discover potential hidden dangers in time.
Lubrication: Lubrication, need to be in accordance with the prescribed cycle and standards, for bearings, guide rails and other key parts of the lubricant to reduce friction and wear.
In order to avoid the risk of electrical shock, should strengthen the safety management of electrical lines, such as regular inspection, maintenance, etc., to maintain the good condition of electrical lines.
Safety education and training for users of press brakes, strengthen safety awareness, improve safety precautions to prevent accidents.
