To ensure the long-term, reliable operation of the machine, proper daily maintenance and correct usage practices are essential. The widely used semi-automatic hydraulic pipe bender is no exception; it is important to be aware of key considerations regarding maintenance and bending speeds.
The components of the semi-automatic hydraulic pipe bending machine are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, improper handling, operational errors, and overloads. The system is suitable for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +40°C and humidity levels between 0% and 95%, at altitudes of 0 to 3,000 meters. A suitable work site must be selected before operation; the site must accommodate the storage of both straight and bent pipes and ensure the ground can support the equipment's weight. Regarding the bending process, incoming pipes—specifically those with pre-applied anti-corrosion coatings—must be inspected for defects such as oil stains, dents, warping, coating wrinkles, unclear or incorrect markings (including anti-corrosion and pipe identification numbers), and mechanical damage; inspection records must be maintained.
In addition, the primary effects of the bending speed of the semi-automatic hydraulic pipe bending machine on forming quality are as follows:
If the bending speed is too high, the bent section of the tube tends to flatten, failing to meet roundness requirements and potentially leading to tearing or breakage; conversely, if the speed is too slow, wrinkling and slippage of the clamping block are likely to occur, and large-diameter tubes are prone to sagging at the bend. It is advisable to set the tube bending speed at 20%–40% of the machine's maximum bending speed.
