Common Faults and Repairs of Automatic CNC Pipe Bending Machines

Introduction

As one of the important equipment in the field of modern metal processing, automatic CNC tube bending machines are widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, construction and other industries with their high-precision and high-efficiency tube bending capabilities. This article will introduce the basic structure and working principle of the automatic CNC tube bending machine, and deeply explore the functions and roles of its various key components.

Basic structure overview

The basic structure of the automatic CNC tube bending machine mainly includes the following aspects:

CNC pipe bending machine

Control system

The control system is the core part of the tube bending machine, responsible for the operation of the entire equipment and the coordination of the work of each part. It includes CNC controllers and related software systems for programming, monitoring and controlling the entire tube bending process.

Servo drive system

The servo drive system achieves precise bending of the tube by precisely controlling the rotation of the servo motor. It includes components such as servo motors, encoders and drivers to ensure precise control of position and angle.

Mechanical transmission system

The mechanical transmission system transmits the rotational force of the motor to the tube bending mechanism through components such as transmission shafts and gear boxes to complete the tube bending operation. Key components include transmission shafts, gears, transmission belts, etc.

Die system

The die system is the working head part of the tube bending machine, which directly contacts and forms the bend of the tube. The design and selection of the die directly affect the accuracy and efficiency of the tube bending.

Introduction to working principle

The working principle of the automatic CNC tube bending machine can be briefly described as the following steps:

CNC programming and data input

The operator writes or inputs a pre-designed tube bending program through the CNC controller. The program includes parameters such as bending angle, bending radius, and tube feed.

Servo motor drive and position control

The control system accurately controls the position and speed of each axis through the servo drive system according to the programming instructions to ensure accurate control during the tube bending process.

Mechanical transmission and bending process

The servo motor transmits power through the mechanical transmission system to drive the die system to perform the tube bending operation. The control system monitors and adjusts the angle and position of the tube bending process in real time.

Common faults and cause analysis

During operation, the automatic CNC tube bending machine may encounter the following common faults:

Control system failure

  • CNC system crash or freeze: may be caused by software problems or unstable power supply.
  • Data transmission error: may be caused by signal interference or communication line failure.
