Preparation before starting the mechanical punch press

The preparation work before starting the mechanical punch press is an important link to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and ensure operational safety.Here are some key steps and precautions:
1、Personal protection preparation
Operators should wear the prescribed labor protection equipment,such as safety helmets,protective goggles,noise cancelling earplugs,work clothes,etc.,to protect themselves from accidental injuries.
2、Equipment status check

Fastener inspection:Ensure that all fasteners of the mechanical punch press are not loose,including the fixing screws of the upper and lower dies,clamping plates,and other components,to prevent loosening or detachment during operation.

Inspection of transmission parts:Check that there are no foreign objects on the exposed gears and transmission parts to ensure the smooth operation of the transmission system.
Lubrication system inspection:Check whether the lubrication system of the mechanical punch press is normal,ensure that each lubrication point is fully lubricated,and reduce wear and failure.
3、Empty vehicle operation test
Before actual processing,an empty vehicle operation test should be conducted.Observe whether there are any abnormal situations such as vibration,abnormal noise,or obstacles during the operation of the mechanical punch press.Feed processing can only be carried out when the empty vehicle is running normally.
4、Preparation of cutting tools and molds
The operations of loading,aligning,unloading,installing molds,correcting punching dies,and loosening screws should be carried out after the machine is stopped to ensure operational safety.At the same time,it is necessary to ensure that all processed parts are within the mechanical specifications to avoid overloading operation.
5、Safety device inspection
Check whether the safety devices of the mechanical punch press are intact and effective,such as emergency stop buttons,protective covers,etc.,to ensure that they can be quickly stopped in emergency situations and protect the safety of operators.
6、Environmental and Safety Warning
Ensure that the working environment around the mechanical punch is clean and free of debris,and avoid accidents such as tripping or slipping during operation.At the same time,clear safety warning signs should be set up around the punch press to remind operators and other personnel to pay attention to safety.
In summary,the preparation work before starting the mechanical punch press involves multiple aspects,including personal protection,equipment status inspection,empty vehicle operation testing,tool and mold preparation,and safety device inspection.Only by doing these preparations well can we ensure the normal operation of the punch press and the safety of the operators.
