Study Notes
Machine Operation Responsibility
- The operator is responsible for the machine's operation and ensuring the safety of individuals nearby.
Operator Training Requirements
- Operators should receive training in:
- Manual handling of materials to prevent injury.
- Changing dies to adapt the machine for different tasks.
- Conducting pre-start safety checks to ensure machine safety.
- Changing punches for various manufacturing processes.
Metal Bending Machines
- Machines capable of bending metal include:
- Bar bending machine.
- Pipe bending machine.
- The following are not designated for bending metal:
- Hydraulic pan brake.
- Cramp folder.
- Electro-magnetic folder.
Material Quality and Apron Setting
- Improper apron settings can lead to:
- Material cracking due to excessive stress.
- Material splitting in half during the bending process.
- Correct apron settings are critical for the integrity of the material.
Differences Between Machine Types
- An electro-magnetic folder lacks a top beam, allowing for deeper folds compared to a pan brake.
- Pan brakes limit depth and are suited for shallower folds.
