Hydraulic Bar Straightener

OPERATIONAL MANUAL:

• Check the hose and control cable connectors match with that of the Bar Straightener.
• Attach the hydraulic hose from the power pack to the machine properly so that there can be no leaking of hydraulic fluid.
• Input power required for power pack is 3 phase, 440 volt, 50 Hz. Earthing to be done properly.
• Electric cable is fitted with solenoid control DC valve and Hand switch or foot switch. This hand switch or foot switch is actuating the solenoid control DC valve.
• Connect the power cable of the power pack to a suitable wall mounted power outlet and switch on the power pack, do not press on foot switch / hand switch of the Bar Straightener right now.
• Let the power pack idle (oil flowing from pump to tank) for a couple of minutes and check the Operating pressure.
• Now place the rod to be Straighten between Die & Punch and straighten the rod by pressing on the Hand Switch or foot switch.
• This is to ensure that the full diameter of the job is within the center of Die & Punch.
• Hold the job with a gloved hand and see that nobody is standing on the other side. Press the hand switch or foot switch.
• After straightening immediately release the switch of hand switch or foot switch for disconnecting the electrical connection wait for the Punch to retract fully before advancing the rod between the Die & Punch for the next Operation.
• For change or refilling of hydraulic oil open the guard plate of hydraulic power pack by unscrewing 4 nos. screws.
• Use hydraulic oil Servo-68 or equivalent.
• Switch off the power pack and disconnect the power pack from the wall out-let after you finish.
• Die and Punch marked by Dia. of the rod. Please use proper set of Die & Punch as per Dia. of the Rod.

MAINTENANCE:

DAILY INSPECTION:

• Perform a daily visual inspection for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks.
• Examine hydraulic hoses and connections for any wear or damage.
• Check and tighten all bolts and fasteners.
• Lubricate all moving parts before operating the machine.
• Clean travel area of the Die and Punch.

WEEKLY INSPECTION:

• Inspect for any hydraulic fluid leaks.
• Clean the machine to prevent dust and debris build-up.

MONTHLY INSPECTION:

• Inspect critical components for signs of wear and replace if necessary.
• Maintain a log of all maintenance activities.
• Check the Oil Levels.

QUARTERLY INSPECTION:

• Conduct a thorough inspection of the entire system.
• Replace any worn-out components.
• Clean the Strainers fitted With the Pump.

ANNUAL INSPECTION:

• Perform a comprehensive overhaul of the system.
• Schedule a professional inspection and servicing.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

• Before using the Machine, read the operating instructions carefully.
• Must Operated by a Trained Personnel equipped with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
• This Model is Suitable for certain Size of Rod and Tensile Strength. Do not ever try to cut Oversize Rod and Greater Tensile Strength.
• Ensure the work piece is placed securely Between the Die and Punch.
• While the machine is not in use, keep the Hydraulic Power Pack switched off, so that accidental pressing of Switch cannot cause any injury.
• Before the Operation make sure to keep hands and body clear of the Die and Punch.
• See that nobody is standing on the other end of the rod, because depending on the tensile strength of the material and flow rate of the power pack, the parted portion of the rod may shoot out at high speed causing injury.
• During the Operation don’t open the Control panel.
• Don’t let any untrained personnel open the control panel.
• During the Operation Don’t let any Untrained and Unauthorized personnel near the machine.
