Correct installation of the mold

The bending die is the key component in the manufacturing process of pipes, and its installation accuracy directly affects the quality of the finished product. 90% of pipe bending defects, such as flattening, wrinkling, and angular deviations, are often due to improper die installation. This is especially true when dealing with thin-walled pipes or small-radius bends, where the core rod and guide die require millimeter-level precision adjustments.

Preparation before mold installation: Preparing the mold before installation is essential for ensuring the bending machine operates smoothly. First, thoroughly clean the mold surface to remove dust, metal chips, and other foreign objects. Carefully inspect the mold for any cracks, deformities, or wear. The mold must be precisely matched to the specifications of the pipe material to prevent issues during processing. Select the appropriate wheel, clamp, and guide combinations based on the pipe’s outer diameter. For thin-walled pipes or those requiring a small bending radius, an additional mandrel or anti-wrinkle mold should be used. The mold system is designed with a modular structure, allowing for quick replacement of components according to different pipe diameters, significantly enhancing work efficiency.
