In the metal processing industry, metal cut to length line is one of the indispensable equipment, which is widely used in the shearing of steel. Although the technology of metal cut to length machine is constantly improving, some common problems are still encountered in actual operation. This article will discuss in detail the typical problems that may occur in metal cut to length line, the troubleshooting methods, and how to avoid these problems to ensure the normal operation and production efficiency of the equipment.
In the metal cut to length line, the scissor crankshaft is a key component to realize the shearing action. The movement of the crankshaft must not only withstand the torque, but also the reaction force of the steel sheet during the shearing process. Therefore, the lubrication of the crankshaft is crucial.
1.1 The importance of crankshaft lubrication
If the crankshaft of the metal cut to length machine is poorly lubricated, it may cause the crankshaft and bearing to burn out. Once such a problem occurs, the maintenance process is complicated and costly, and the bearing may need to be replaced and the crankshaft may be ground, affecting production efficiency.
1.2 Methods to improve the lubrication effect
In order to solve this problem, it is recommended to use thin oil lubrication in the metal cut to length line and install an automatic oiling pump. The system can set the oiling time and flow rate to achieve automatic oil supply. Regular inspection of the lubrication system can effectively avoid crankshaft wear and failure.
1.3 Actual case analysis
During the operation of a metal cut to length machine, the crankshaft burned due to the failure of the lubrication system, and the production line stagnated for several days, causing huge economic losses. By installing an automatic oiling pump and regular maintenance, the company successfully avoided the recurrence of similar problems. |

During the production process of the metal cut to length machine, the interlocking conditions of the equipment are not met, which may cause the equipment to fail to work normally and affect production efficiency.
2.1 The importance of interlocking conditions
The normal operation of the metal cut to length line requires certain interlocking conditions. For example, the looper must drop to the lower limit position, otherwise the equipment cannot be automatically linked. These conditions are usually not clearly marked on the equipment operation interface, which confuses the operator.
2.2 Troubleshooting of common problems
For example, in the production process of a processing plant, the looper could not be linked after the threading was completed. After 3 hours of inspection, it was finally found that the looper did not reach the lower limit position. In order to avoid such problems, it is recommended to require the manufacturer to provide real-time status display of interlocking conditions when purchasing equipment.
2.3 Methods to improve the convenience of operation
By clearly marking the interlocking conditions on the operation interface of the metal cut to length machine, the operator can check before production to ensure that all conditions are met, thereby improving production efficiency. |

The leveler plays a vital role in the metal cut to length machine, and the wear of its working roller will directly affect the quality of the product.
3.1 Causes of wear of the working roller
For levelers that have been producing automotive plates or galvanized and oiled plates for a long time, the working rollers may wear out due to lack of professional maintenance. Especially in the absence of professionals, the disassembly and maintenance of the leveler are often neglected, resulting in the accumulation of problems.
3.2 The importance of timely maintenance
In order to prevent the wear of the working roller, it is recommended to clean the sludge in the leveler regularly and disassemble and inspect it in time. At the same time, during the cleaning process, be sure to count the cleaning materials used to avoid debris such as corner cloth left inside the leveler, causing further wear.
3.3 Key points for cleaning the leveler
Regular cleaning: clean the sludge and debris in the leveler in time.
Use appropriate materials: Use appropriate cleaning materials when cleaning to ensure that no residue is left.
Pre-production inspection: Check the status of the leveler before production to ensure that there is no debris. |

In addition to eliminating common problems, improving the production efficiency of metal cut to length machines is also the key.
4.1 Regular training of operators
Regularly train operators to improve their understanding of metal cut to length lines so that they can find and solve problems in a timely manner.
4.2 Equipment upgrade and maintenance
Technical upgrades to old metal cut to length machines and the use of more advanced control systems and automation equipment can greatly improve production efficiency.
4.3 Introduction of real-time monitoring system
The introduction of a real-time monitoring system can monitor the operating status of the metal cut to length line in real time, detect potential problems in a timely manner, and avoid downtime. |
