First, connect the power supply, turn on the switch on the control panel, and then start the oil pump. You will hear the sound of the oil pump rotating, but the machine will not perform any action at this point.
Stroke adjustment: It is crucial to adjust the stroke before bending. Always test before bending. When the upper die moves to the lowest point, there must be a gap equal to the thickness of the sheet metal; otherwise, it will damage the mold and the machine. Stroke adjustment can be done quickly using the electric adjustment function.
Bending groove selection: Generally, choose a groove width that is 8 times the thickness of the sheet metal. For example, when bending a 4mm thick sheet, a groove of approximately 32mm should be selected.
Back gauge adjustment: This usually includes both electric quick adjustment and manual fine adjustment, similar to a shearing machine.
Press the foot switch to start bending. Unlike a shearing machine, the CNC bending machine mold can be stopped at any time by releasing the foot switch; pressing it again will continue the downward movement.
