Understand the possible accidents and causes of bending machines, and how to avoid them

Press Brake, as one of the key equipment in the sheet metal processing industry, although they play an important role in production, workers also have certain potential risks during operation, and factories also attach great importance to the safety of employees. In this article, we will explore the types of accidents that may occur in bending machines. As a professional bending machine manufacturer, ZYCO will propose corresponding preventive measures so that all users can clearly understand the machine and improve safety before using ZYCO machines.

Bending machines have the following types of accidents

1. Hand pressure accident

Hand pressure accident is one of the most common safety hazards in bending machine operation. During operation, if the operator's hand or other body parts accidentally enter the bending area, there will be certain disability accidents.

2. Drop accident

The operator may frequently change the mold. During this period, if the mold is not fixed well, it will be easy to cause the mold to fall and hit the machine, which will not only injure the operator, but also damage the machine.

3. Equipment failure

If the equipment failure is not promptly checked and maintained, it will also cause injuries and major damage to the machine.

4. Electric shock accidents

If the Press Brake has been used for many years without maintaining the electrical system, electric shock accidents such as leakage may occur.

5. Operational errors

For CNC bending machines, if the operator does not understand the use of the machine system, the machine may fail due to misoperation, resulting in dangerous accidents.

The occurrence of bending machine accidents is usually related to the following factors:

1. The staff does not know how to operate the machine: Many bending machine accidents are related to the operator's lack of understanding and skills of the machine.

2. Safety protection measures are not in place: If there are no certain safety production protection measures, the risk of bending machine accidents will increase.

3. Improper equipment maintenance: Lack of regular equipment inspection and maintenance may lead to equipment failure.

4. Poor working environment: The messy and unsafe environment in the workplace will increase the probability of accidents.

Preventive measures

1. Sheet metal factories strengthen the training of sheet metal bending workers

We can regularly provide operators with safety awareness and training on bending machine operation to ensure that they are familiar with the operating procedures and safety precautions of the bending machine.

2. Improve safety protection

The machine can be equipped with a laser protection device, which will greatly increase the safe working environment of the bending machine operator.

3. Regularly maintain the equipment

ZYCO recommends that all sheet metal factories establish a regular inspection and maintenance system for equipment. At the same time, ZYCO will also provide assistance to all users to ensure that the bending machine is in good working condition and eliminate potential fault hazards in time.

4. Improve the bending working environment

The workplace needs to be kept clean at all times, and workers should regularly clear obstacles around the bending machine to ensure the safety of the operating area.

Conclusion

Press Brake play an important role in metal processing, but the safety hazards in their operation cannot be ignored. ZYCO recommends that all users can effectively reduce the probability of accidents by understanding the types of accidents that may occur in bending machines and their causes, and taking corresponding preventive measures. In the future, with the development of technology and the improvement of safety awareness, the safe operation of ZYCO bending machines will continue to improve, providing safer protection for industrial production. We firmly believe that ZYCO will aim to produce the safest Press Brake and ensure that every machine we produce is the best and safe
