Adjustment and Cleaning of the Straightening Machine

Proper adjustment and cleaning of the straightening machine are essential for maintaining its optimal performance and extending its lifespan. This article outlines the necessary steps for adjusting and cleaning the machine, as well as the impact of impurities on its functionality.

Before operating the straightening machine, ensure that the straightening block is securely fixed and that the protective cover is in place. Feeding material into the machine without these safety measures is strictly prohibited, and the protective cover must not be opened during operation. When feeding the steel bar into the impeller, maintain a safe distance to avoid any risk of injury.

Particular care is required when straightening the ends of steel bars. Operators should remain at a safe distance to prevent swinging and potential injury. For steel bars shorter than two meters or with a diameter exceeding nine millimeters, it is crucial to operate the machine at a low speed to ensure safety and accuracy. Once the operation is complete, always return the straightening block to its original position to maintain proper alignment.

To check the machine, manually turn the flywheel and adjust the gap as necessary. After making adjustments, listen for any unusual sounds from the bearings. If everything sounds normal, the machine is ready for operation.

Cleaning the straightening machine is vital for its longevity. When rolling up the machine, always use the correct method to avoid damaging the end face and surface of the roll. If the surface temperature of the material roll exceeds 45°C, do not operate the machine.

During trial straightening, it is important to ｓｅｌｅｃｔ appropriate process parameters, including tension, elongation, and pressure reduction. When starting the equipment, apply tension and centering gradually, and initiate the machine slowly to reach the set process parameters quickly, minimizing material waste.

While in normal production, closely monitor the shape and surface of the material. If any abnormalities—such as scratches, marks, or vibrations—are observed, address them immediately to prevent further issues.

Impurities can significantly affect the performance of the straightening machine. They can disrupt the fit of internal components and hinder the relative movement of parts, leading to accelerated wear. Additionally, impurities can scratch matching surfaces, destroy the lubricating oil film, and cause rapid temperature increases, which further deteriorate the lubricating oil.

During operation, metal chips, wear products, and non-metallic substances such as dust and soil can inadvertently enter the machine. Once inside, these impurities can reach the surfaces of internal components, severely impacting the machine's functionality. Therefore, it is essential to implement protective measures to prevent impurities from contaminating the welded pipe straightener.

Any issues or failures should be addressed promptly to ensure the machine returns to normal operation as quickly as possible. Even in challenging working environments, it is advisable to use high-quality and compatible parts, lubricants, and greases to minimize mechanical impurities. Maintaining a clean machine with well-matched components is crucial for smooth operation and enhances both the machine's condition and its service life.
