The operation of the insertion machine for processing must follow the standard procedures to ensure safety and accuracy . The following is a step-by-step guide based on safety regulations and key points of practical operation:
I. Preparations Before Operation
Be familiar with the equipment
Read the operation manual of the insertion machine carefully to understand the technical parameters of the equipment model (such as B5032, B5050, BA5063, etc.), including the stroke range (usually 50-500mm), stroke count (60-300 times per minute), worktable size and feed mode.
Safety protection
Wear work clothes, goggles and anti-slip shoes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Long hair should be tied up to prevent it from being caught in moving parts.
Equipment inspection
Check whether the power supply grounding is good, whether each handle is in the empty position, whether the lubrication of the ram and guide rail is in place, and whether the workpiece and fixture are firmly connected.
Ⅱ. Installation of Workpieces and Tools
Workpiece clamping
Fix the workpiece on the worktable with T-slot bolts, ensuring that the contact surface exceeds 70%. If necessary, use equal-height spacers to level it to avoid vibration.
Tool selection and installation
Select high-speed steel inserts based on the processing material (such as steel parts or cast iron). The recommended rake Angle is 5° to 12°, and the relief Angle is 4° to 8°.
The extension length of the tool holder should be slightly greater than the cutting depth to avoid excessive length which may cause vibration or "tool puncture".
The combined insert knife is adopted to enhance rigidity and prevent deformation.
Ⅲ. Parameter Settings and Tool Setting
Itinerary adjustment
Adjust the ram stroke according to the height of the workpiece to ensure that the tool does not collide with the worktable when moving down and leaves sufficient space when moving up. When the mechanical cutting machine is shut down, the flywheel should be manually turned to check if the stroke is normal.
Tool setting operation
Manually and slowly move the ram to the lowest point, and check the relative height between the insert and the initial processing position of the workpiece. The bottom surface of the insert should not be lower than the bottom surface of the workpiece by more than 6mm.
Adjust the position of the worktable to align the center of the insert tool with the machining center line of the keyway or hole.
Iv. Startup and Processing
Starts the device
After confirming that there is no one around and no obstacles, turn on the power and conduct an empty run test first to observe whether the movement of the ram is smooth and if there is any abnormal vibration or noise.
Feed control
When machining the keyway of the inner hole, intermittent feed should be adopted, with each feed rate controlled at 0.1 to 0.3mm to avoid excessive cutting force causing the machine to stall.
The workbench is only allowed to perform single-phase automatic feed (longitudinal, transverse or circumferential), and it is prohibited to use three phases simultaneously.
Process monitoring
Closely observe the cutting condition. If any abnormal noise, overheating or tool wear is detected, stop the machine immediately for inspection.
V. Processing Completion and Maintenance
Shutdown operation
After processing is completed, stop the ram at a safe position: the mechanical plug machine lifts the plug to the top, and the hydraulic plug machine places the ram at the bottom.
Cleaning and maintenance
Turn off the power, remove the chips, wipe the guide rails and lubricate them, organize the tools, and keep the working area clean and tidy.
Record and check
Record operation logs, regularly check the operating status of the equipment, and promptly detect potential faults.
