Steel cut to length machine is an important equipment for cutting steel coils according to the customer's preset length. Steel cut to length line is used to cut steel coils according to the length preset by the customer. When using steel cut to length machine, you need to be careful. Usually, safe operation of steel cut to length line requires stable placement of workpieces, wearing protective equipment, staying away from rollers, checking screws, etc. Today, this article will introduce you in detail how to operate steel cut to length machine correctly to avoid injuries or malfunction of steel cut to length line due to improper operation, which will delay production progress. This article will introduce in detail how to operate a steel cut to length machine safely and effectively to ensure smooth production and avoid personal injury and equipment failure. |

1. Preparation Before starting the steel cut to length machine, you must first select the appropriate plate according to the production processing order requirements. Make sure that the thickness and width of the selected plate meet the processing requirements. This step is crucial because inappropriate plates may cause steel cut to length line failure or substandard finished product quality. Choose metal plate Thickness and width: According to the technical parameters of the steel cut to length machine, select the appropriate plate to ensure that the steel cut to length line can work properly. Metal plate quality: Check whether the metal plate has obvious defects, such as scratches, dents, etc., so as not to affect subsequent processing. |

2. Feeding operation Use a crane to lift the plate and place it on the coil feed trolley of the machine. Make sure that the direction of the plate is consistent with that of the leveler, then jog the coil feed trolley and slowly feed the plate into the decoiler. Precautions for feeding The guide head presses the plate: ensure that the plate does not move during the feeding process and maintains stability. Open the auxiliary support: The use of the support device can ensure the flatness of the plate and avoid deformation caused by gravity. |

3. Leveler adjustment After opening the shovel head, jog the decoiler to introduce the plate into the leveler. Adjust the leveler according to the thickness and width of the metal plate to ensure the flatness of the plate. Leveling process Ensure flatness: During the leveling process, pay attention to whether the metal plate is completely flat and make fine adjustments if necessary. Operation safety: When near the leveler, keep your hands and body away from moving parts to avoid accidental injuries. |

4. Enter the shearing stage After reaching the main control platform, open the front and rear bridges. Jog the leveler to introduce the plate into the re-leveler. After ensuring the flatness of the metal plate, enter the sizing machine and cut to length machine. Shearing operation Retract the front and rear bridges of the shovel head: Before shearing, confirm that all auxiliary equipment has been recovered to avoid interfering with the shearing process. Shearing quality inspection: After cutting off the board head, first check the quality of the first board, including flatness, length, diagonal, and whether the board surface has defects. |

5. Automatic production setting Once the first board is confirmed to be qualified, the conveyor can be turned on and the qualified board bracket can be placed on the support platform. Adjust the height and position of the support platform according to the width and length of the board. Automatic control Enter production parameters: Enter the production quantity and length on the control main platform, turn on automatic control, and enter the automatic production mode. Production process monitoring: During the production process, observe the equipment operation status at any time to ensure that everything is normal. |

*6. Precautions for safe operation
Safety is the top priority when operating the steel cut to length machine. Here are some precautions for safe operation:
Wear protective equipment: Operators must wear insulated shoes, insulated gloves and other protective equipment to prevent electric shock and mechanical injuries.
Stay away from the rollers: When operating, keep your hands and clothing away from the rollers to avoid being caught.
Check the steel cut to length line: Check the steel cut to length machine screws regularly to see if they are loose, and tighten them with a wrench if necessary.
Avoid reversal: When the steel cut to length line is running at high speed, any reversal operation is prohibited to ensure safety.
Keep your distance: When the steel cut to length machine is working, operators are strictly prohibited from getting close to the working equipment to prevent emergencies.
