All movements of the machine are driven by the hydraulic system. The electronic control system controls the system in a centralized manner. A digital display system is installed to display the up and down stroke amounts of the two rollers, which facilitates the operation and control of the roll forming of the workpiece.

Notes

    (1) During the rolling process, the rotation of the three-axis roller and the side roller lifting movement cannot be performed at the same time to avoid failure.

   (2) When the roller shaft is raised to the highest position, lifting the backup roller is prohibited to avoid malfunction.

PRE-BEND AND CURL

Bending of profiles

Profile bending can be divided into symmetrical and unsymmetrical bending:

Symmetrical curling

Symmetrical curling

Asymmetric curling

Asymmetric curling

Symmetrical curling: The two moving side-bend rolls are symmetrically arranged relative to the fixed upper-axle roll for profile bending. The symmetry curve curl radius consistency is good. For a regular curl.

Asymmetrical curling: The two moving side-bend rollers are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the fixed upper-shaft roller, and this type of bending is generally used for pre-bending of the profile head.

Curling method

There are three types of roll bending methods, as shown in the figure.

Overview of Rolling of Flat steel bar and Square Steel bar

Flat steel and square steel are symmetric sections, which are easy to curl. Asymmetric bending is used for pre-bending. A certain degree of distortion is unavoidable. If one or less times are used, distortion can be reduced if the workpiece is rolled in multiple passes. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the clearance of the mold.

Outer Corners of Angle Iron

Angle steel is an asymmetrical profile. When it is rolled, it is often distorted. Therefore, it is necessary for the support roller to provide an anti-distortion external force to the angle steel during the rolling process so that it can be corrected and the deformation can be reduced.

Angle iron bending video

The adjustment of the support roller should be adjusted according to the deformation of the angle steel, and it is necessary to prevent the outward adjustment of the angle steel caused by excessive adjustment. Pre-bend is asymmetric, and roll is symmetrical.

Angle bending inside

The internal bending process of the angle steel is similar to the external bending of the angle steel. In the bending process, two directions will be distorted. Therefore, the support roller and the guide wheel are used to provide two anti-deformation external forces so that they can be corrected. Support rollers and guide wheels are adjusted according to the deformation of the angle steel.

Because the angle steel bends easily, the twisted deformation is easy to occur. Therefore, when the angle steel is bent, the diameter of the bent workpiece is larger than that of bending other profiles.

Symmetrical adjustment

Adjust the side roller and feed the workpiece to the tail of the 3D guide roll. Adjust the guide roll so that the workpiece can be rolled normally. The support roller will contact the flange end of the angle steel workpiece.

Working video of 3D guide roll of BIT profile bending machine

If the guide roller adjustment is too large, the workpiece will twist inward.

When the angle steel is bent inside, the support roller and the 3D guide roll device must be adjusted to the correct position, and then bent in the above manner until it is bent into a circle of a desired diameter.

LUBRICATION

Reasonable lubrication of the machine is an effective measure to reduce the power consumption and improve the life of the machine. For this reason, a reasonable lubrication material must be selected and the necessary lubrication system must be established.

Selection of Lubricants

For artificial refueling, calcium-based grease is used. In the summer, No. 2 calcium-based grease is used. In winter, No. 1 calcium-based grease is used.

Lubrication System and Precautions

The user should establish a specific lubrication system according to the specific working system, load and operating conditions of the machine.

  • The lubrication points must be lubricated before the machine starts.
  • Machine Under continuous working conditions, gears are generally lubricated once every three months. All the rotating parts are made of oil-free bearings, which are generally refueled 6 to 10 months.
  • The entire lubrication system of the machine is cleaned once a year.

HYDRAULIC PRINCIPLE

Hydraulic principle

This machine is a fully hydraulically actuated open system. The rated power of the motor is 15KW. The rated working pressure is 16Mpa. The oil pump is a double gear pump CBF-F25/10. It is used for the oil motor rotation of the main drive system and the lifting and lowering of the auxiliary system cylinder. , There are no-load start, pressure adjustment, overload unloading, etc., through the shock-resistant table to observe the pressure adjustment range and pressure fluctuations.

Hydraulic system of profile bending machine
Hydraulic system of section bending machine

The system is in the form of switch control. The condition of the solenoid valve is determined by the condition of the actuator (the lift of the auxiliary system cylinder, the positive and negative rotation of the main system motor), and the actuator is pressure-maintained by the pilot-operated check valve.

Selection of Oil

The fluid can be selected from 20# to 40# hydraulic oil according to the actual situation. The fluid is injected into the tank through the fine oil filter, and the liquid level should reach the upper limit of the oil level meter. After the initial trial run, due to the accumulation of oil in the fuel tanks and pipelines, the liquid level in the fuel tank drops. At this time, the oil in the tank should be replenished twice to ensure the normal operation of the system.

Use and Maintenance of Hydraulic System

Fuel tank

The effective volume of the fuel tank of this equipment is 200 liters. Select 20# to 40# ordinary hydraulic oil to be injected into the fuel tank after filtration by a fine oil filter, start the motor, check the direction of rotation is correct, and then start the operation test of each actuator. Several times, leaks, shocks, vibrations, etc. were discovered and stopped and checked in time. After the oil has fully entered the pipeline and the fuel tank, the tank should be replenished with oil again, so that the liquid level of the tank reaches the upper limit of the oil level.

Starting or stopping

When starting or stopping the oil pump, the relief valve shall be in an unloaded state. Once the set pressure of the relief valve is adjusted and determined, the lock nut of the relief valve shall be tightened and should not be changed frequently. After a period of no-load trial run, the gas in the pipeline is fully drained and the oil is fully filtered. After the actuators are moved smoothly and reliably, all filter elements are cleaned or replaced, and then a load test is performed.

Oil temperature

The oil temperature of the system should not exceed 65°C. Consider the specific environmental conditions. If the machine is working in a hot environment, a higher viscosity hydraulic oil may be used to ensure a better working condition of the system and a longer time. The life of the product should minimize the contamination of the oil. Clean or replace the filter element regularly. Check the degree of deterioration of the oil every six months. If it exceeds the limit of use, replace it in time.
