2, check whether the main motor starting circuit part of the components of the overload protection, if there is a need to analyse the reasons, check whether there is damage to the components;
3, check whether the three-phase power supply is normal;

 The Slider can’t go Down Quickly

Reason

1, the slider guide is adjusted too tight;
2, the back stopper axis is not in place;
3, the slider is no longer on the dead position;
4, the foot switch and other signals are not entered into the module;
5, the proportional servo valve is faulty;

Measures

1, check the appropriate slider guide;
2, check the system on the actual position of the X whether there is a cursor, or in the manual interface to check the programmed value of the back stopper axis is the same as the actual value. 3, the Y axis status should be ‘1’, if it is ‘6’, check the actual Y axis coordinates, the value should be less than the difference between the Y axis and the back travelling;
3, the system on the Y-axis state should be ‘1’, if ‘6’, check the actual coordinates of the Y-axis, the value should be less than the difference between the Y-axis and the return;
4, according to the electrical schematic diagram, check the foot switch and other input signals are normal;

The Slider can not Work into the Bending or Bending Speed is very Slow

Reasons

1, the slider is not to the speed changeover point;
2, the system Y-axis bending part of the parameter settings are not good;
3, the pressure is not enough, such as: programming reasons, machine parameter settings, hydraulic reasons, etc.;

Measures

1, check whether the Y-axis status from ‘2’ to ‘3’, the actual value of the Y-axis should be greater than the speed conversion point value, if not need to adjust the fast forward part of the parameters;
2, re-adjustment of the Y-axis bending part of the parameters;

 Bending Slider Sometimes Can not Return

Reasons

1, no load can not return, may be a parameter problem or hydraulic failure;
2, processing can not return, the angle of the workpiece has not reached the set value;
3, processing can not return, the angle of the workpiece has exceeded the set value;

Measures

1, debugging the Y-axis bending part of the parameter, bending parameter should be based on the actual debugging, part of the gain is too small, the slider will be folded not moving or folded in place, too large the slider will be Jitter, the parameters should be adjusted to the action of the slider does not shake, gain as large as possible; or diagnostic procedures in the left and right valve bias settings are not good, too small Y-axis can not be in place, too large Y-axis can not be unloaded; if it is a hydraulic failure, you need to check the main pressure, check whether the PV valve S5 has always been in the position of the power supply;

2, may be part of the Y-axis bending parameter gain is set on the small side, it can be increased appropriately; or insufficient pressure The reason for the lack of pressure is to analyse the programming reasons or signal, hydraulic part of the reason; programming reasons are mainly the choice of mould, plate thickness, material, length of the workpiece, bending method, etc., hydraulic reasons are mainly whether the oil pump is leaking, proportional pressure valve is contaminated or damaged, whether the cartridge is blocked, whether the oil has been contaminated, etc.;

3. Mainly programming and operating reasons, check the programmed program and the processing of the workpiece;

5, the backpressure valve pressure is set incorrectly or imbalance between the two sides. Back pressure is set too small, the slider will slowly decline, the work will be shaking; back pressure on both sides of the imbalance, the slider will twist when running;

Measures

1, re-adjustment of guide clearance;
2, re-locking, if the lock nut and screw with too loose, need to be replaced;
3, if there is a reference curve, should be adjusted in accordance with the reference curve;
4, only the BOSCH, REXROTH valves can be adjusted, but need to be careful;
5, the use of the pressure gauge adjustment Back pressure valve pressure, and make both sides consistent;

4, the quality of the oil is too poor;
5, the circuit breaker, the thermal relay out of the problem, up to the rated current on the action;
6, the system control pressure output part failure; , the system control pressure output part of the fault, send out the wrong signal, so that the proportional pressure valve has been working;

Measures

1, cleaning the proportional pressure valve, the main pressure reducing valve;
2, replace the filter element and check the degree of contamination of the oil;
3, immediately replace the oil filter element;
4, replaced with the recommended use of the oil;
5, the replacement of the circuit breaker, the thermal relay;
6, check the output of the system;
