Mechanical power press training

Mechanical power press training is a systematic process that requires coverage of basic knowledge, operating procedures,  operating procedures, safety precautions, maintenance, and upkeep of punching machines. Here is a detailed training plan:

1. Introduction to basic knowledge of mechanical power press

Definition and purpose:
Introduction: Mechanical power press is a device that uses stamping technology to process metal or non-metal sheets. Elaborate on the important position and wide application of mechanical power presses in the manufacturing industry.
Type and Characteristics:
Introduce the main types of punching machines, including mechanical power press, hydraulic punching machines, and CNC punching machines, based on their structural forms and working principles. Analyze the characteristics, applicable scenarioses, advantages and disadvantages of various types of punching machines.
Structural composition:

Detailed explanation of the main components and their functions of the mechanical power press, including the bed, transmission system, working mechanism, control system, lubrication system, electrical system, etc.

2. Operating procedures and safety precautions

Operating procedures:
Demonstrate the pre start inspection steps of the mechanical power press, including safety protection devices, lubrication system, electrical system, etc. Explain the selection, installation, and debugging methods of molds. Display material preparation, placement, and positioning skills. How to adjust the punching parameters according to material characteristics and stamping requirements.
Safety precautions:

Emphasize the importance of wearing personal protective equipment, such as work clothes, work hats, protective goggles, protective gloves, and protective shoes. Explain the setting and significance of safety warning signs around the mechanical power press. Analyze common safety hazards and preventive measures in punch operation. Teach emergency response procedures, including pressing the emergency stop button, cutting off power, initiating first aid procedures, etc.

3. Maintenance and upkeep methods

Daily maintenance:
Teach how to clean the surface of a mechanical power press, remove oil stains and metal shavings, and keep the equipment clean. Explain and check if the fasteners are loose, ensuring that all bolts and nuts are securely fastened in place. Demonstrate how to lubricate key components such as guide rails and sliders of a mechanical power press to reduce wear and extend service life.
Regular maintenance:

Introduce the method of regularly using compressed air and soft cloth to clean the surface of the mechanical power press. Explain the importance and steps of checking and replacing lubricating oil. Teach how to calibrate key components such as guide rails and sliders of mechanical power presses to ensure stamping accuracy.

4. Practical exercises and skill improvement

Simulated Operation Practice:
Use simulation software to practice punching operation and help students familiarize themselves with the machine interface and operation process.
Practical skills training:
Under the supervision of the instructor, the students practiced practical punching operations, starting with simple punching tasks and gradually increasing the difficulty.
Skill assessment and feedback:
Establish regular skill assessments to evalsuate students' skill levels through practical operation tests. Provide feedback and suggestions to students based on the assessment results, helping them continuously improve their operational skills.
Case analysis learning:
Analyze typical error cases in punch operation to help students understand the causes and consequences of errors. Case analysis to enhance students' problem-solving skills and safety awareness.
Through the above training program, students can comprehensively understand the usage methods and precautions of mechanical power press, master necessary operational skills and maintenance knowledge, and lay a solid foundation for future practical work.
