- 2024-11-06-

Stamping press punch are common mechanical equipment used in metal processing and are widely used in the production of parts in the automotive, home appliance, electronics and other industries. In order to ensure safe operation and reduce accidents, it is essential to formulate and strictly abide by the safety operating specifications of stamping press punch. The following are the safety operating specifications of stamping presses:


1. Preparation before operation

Equipment inspection: The operator should check whether the equipment is working properly before using the punching machine, including whether the electrical system, hydraulic system, pneumatic system and other parts are faulty or damaged.

Safety protection device inspection: Ensure that all safety devices such as protective doors, emergency stop switches, photoelectric protection devices, etc. are intact and work properly.

Clean the workbench: Before operation, clear the debris on the workbench to ensure that no other objects interfere with the operation.

Wear appropriate work clothes and safety protection equipment: Operators should wear standard work clothes, gloves, safety shoes, earmuffs, etc.


2. Safety requirements during operation

Pay attention to the operation sequence: According to the operating instructions of the equipment, correctly set the working parameters of the punching machine, such as punching force, stroke, speed, etc.

Operators must not stand in the danger zone: Operators must not extend any part of their body into the danger zone of the punch press to avoid injury.

Use appropriate clamps: The workpiece must be fixed with appropriate clamps to prevent the workpiece from loosening or sliding.

Keep the equipment stable: Make sure the punch press is in a stable state, avoid equipment shaking, and prevent accidents caused by unstable equipment.

Do not put your hands in the working area of the piston or mold: When the punch press is working, be sure to avoid any hands and body parts approaching the working area of the mold and piston.

Stop the machine when not in operation: If the equipment fails or the operation is temporarily interrupted, it should be stopped immediately and inspected and repaired in accordance with the operating procedures.


3. Use of safety protection devices

Safety cover: Make sure that the punch press is equipped with a suitable safety cover and keep it closed during operation. Prevent workpieces from flying out or tools from falling off and causing injuries.

Photoelectric protection device: Some punch presses are equipped with a photoelectric protection system that can automatically stop the punching operation to prevent the operator from accidentally entering the danger zone. It is necessary to ensure that the device is working properly and check whether it is intact before operating the punch press.

Emergency stop switch: Make sure the emergency stop button is easy to operate, and the operator must know how to stop the machine quickly to deal with emergencies.


4. Precautions

Clear dead corners: Check the dead corners of the machine before operation to ensure that there are no operators or objects that hinder the movement of the machine to avoid the punch press from getting stuck.

Regular maintenance: The equipment needs to be maintained regularly, and the various components of the punch press, including the slide, guide device, lubrication system, etc., must be checked to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition.

Operator training: All operators must be trained to understand the operating procedures, safety requirements, emergency stop handling and other knowledge of the punch press.

Avoid overload work: The machine must not be overloaded to avoid equipment failure or accidents caused by excessive work.


5. Handling of failures

Stop inspection: If abnormal noise, unstable impact and other problems occur, the machine should be stopped immediately, the power supply should be cut off, and the equipment failure should be checked.

Alarm and help: If a serious failure or accident occurs, the operator should call the police in time and contact the maintenance personnel for processing.

Emergency stop operation: In an emergency, the operator must quickly press the emergency stop button and cut off the power supply to ensure personnel safety.


6. Post-operation inspection

Equipment cleaning: After the operation, the work surface and surrounding environment should be cleaned to ensure that there are no tools or materials left behind.

Equipment review: Check the status of the equipment to ensure that there are no looseness, damage, etc.

Record maintenance and operation: Record each equipment use, maintenance records and fault repairs to provide a basis for subsequent management.

By following these safe operating specifications for stamping press punch,  you can significantly improve operational safety, reduce accidents, and ensure the safety of operators and equipment.
