How to detect the pressure of metal stamping machine

- 2025-03-27-

Detecting the pressure of a metal stamping machine is a key step to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and avoid damage or production problems. The pressure of a metal stamping machine can be detected in the following ways:


1. Using a pressure sensor

Installing a pressure sensor: Installing a pressure sensor in the hydraulic system or pneumatic system of the stamping machine can monitor the working pressure of the machine in real time.

Reading data: By connecting to the stamping machine control system, the sensor will output the pressure value, and the operator can read the current working pressure through the display or control system.

Calibration and maintenance: The sensor needs to be calibrated and checked regularly to ensure its accuracy and stability.


2. Using a pressure gauge

Installing a pressure gauge: Install a pressure gauge in the main pipeline of the hydraulic system, or install it in the designated position of the oil and gas circuits.

Direct reading: The pressure gauge displays the current system pressure through a pointer or digital. Determine whether it meets the normal working pressure range based on the value displayed by the pressure gauge.

Advantages: The pressure gauge is easy to install and easy to detect quickly.

Note: Choose the appropriate pressure gauge range and accuracy to avoid measurement errors.


3. Hydraulic system testing

Manual pressure testing: This is done by connecting a pressure gauge or measuring device to the hydraulic circuit and operating the press for testing. Monitor changes in pressure during the test, especially under different workloads.

Analyze pressure fluctuations: Check if there are abnormal pressure fluctuations in the system, which may indicate problems such as leaks, bubbles, or pump failures.


4. Use CNC control systems

Built-in pressure monitoring function: Some modern metal stamping machines use CNC systems, which can be equipped with built-in pressure sensors or pressure monitoring software to track and record working pressure in real time.

Reading through the control panel: The operator can directly monitor and adjust the pressure through the CNC panel to ensure that the equipment is working within the correct parameter range.

Recording and alarm functions: Some systems support data logging and alarm functions. When the pressure exceeds the set range, the system will automatically alarm to remind the operator.


5. Pressure testing device

Set up a standard pressure test procedure: Many stamping machines are equipped with standard pressure testing devices, which usually include pressure control valves, test lines, and measuring instruments. These devices help operators detect pressure when the machine is operating normally and ensure a stable working environment.

Steps: Use the test equipment to perform pressure test to ensure that the equipment is not overloaded, leaking or uneven pressure.


6. Check the status of the hydraulic oil

Oil detection: The temperature, viscosity and cleanliness of the hydraulic oil directly affect the working pressure of the stamping machine. Check the quality of the hydraulic oil and ensure that there is no moisture, impurities or bubbles interfering with the pressure transmission.

Replace the oil: Regularly replace the hydraulic oil to keep the system pressure stable and avoid abnormal pressure caused by oil deterioration.


7. Simulated load test

Loading: Under safe conditions, simulated load tests are used to detect the working pressure of the stamping machine in actual production. This helps to determine the performance of the stamping machine under high load and actual working conditions.


Summary: Detecting the pressure of the metal stamping machine can be achieved by installing pressure sensors, using pressure gauges, hydraulic system testing, CNC system monitoring, etc. Regular detection and monitoring of pressure can not only ensure the normal operation of the equipment, but also effectively avoid equipment damage and improve production efficiency and quality. During the detection process, the operator should pay attention to ensure the accuracy of the measuring equipment and the stability of the system.
