It is well known that CNC press brakes are widely used in metal processing field, and their high precision and high efficiency are deeply favored by manufacturing companies. However, for novice operators, mastering some operating skills is a key challenge. The following are 10 practical tips that novices need to master when working on CNC press brakes to help you get started in the shortest time and complete the work safely.


1. Familiar with Press Brake and User Manual

Before officially operating the CNC press brake, you must first fully understand the structure, function and operating procedures of the press brake. Carefully read and understand the user manual, which can not only help you quickly master the basic operations, but also troubleshoot problems when problems arise, avoiding unnecessary downtime.

2. Receive Professional Training

The operation of CNC press brakes involves many aspects of knowledge and skills, such as programming, material selection, bending principles, etc. Participating in professional training courses is effective to quickly master these skills for novices. During the training, you can actually operate the machine and correct errors under the guidance of experienced instructors.

3. Correctly Set and Adjust Parameters

Each bending task requires corresponding parameters based on the material type, thickness and bending angle. Incorrect parameter settings may result in insufficient bending accuracy or material damage. Therefore, before bending, make sure all parameters are correct and perform necessary calibrations on the machine.

4. Practice Patience and Precision

Take your time to ensure each operation is performed accurately. Rushing can lead to mistakes that may compromise the quality of your work or cause accidents.

5. Gradually Master Programming Skills

Programming of CNC press brakes is a core part of operation. Novices can start with simple programming tasks and gradually increase the complexity. When programming, pay 

special attention to factors such as bending sequence, rebound compensation and bending radius to ensure the accuracy and quality of the final product.

6. Understand Material Properties

Different materials behave differently under the same pressure. Familiarize yourself with the properties of the materials you will be working with to select the appropriate bending techniques and avoid mishaps.

7. Pay Attention to Safe Operating Procedures

Safety should always be a priority. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and steel-toed boots to protect yourself from potential hazards. At the same time, they should be familiar with emergency stop button and other safety devices so that they can respond quickly in emergencies.

8. Monitor and Adjust the Machine Status

During operation, novices should always focus on the operating status, including key parameters such as oil pressure, current and temperature. If abnormalities are found, such as excessive noise, abnormal vibration, etc., the operation should be stopped immediately and the cause should be checked to ensure that the press brake is in the best working condition.

9. Perform Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance of the CNC press brake is essential for optimal performance. Check for wear and tear, lubricate moving parts and ensure all safety features are functioning correctly to prolong the machine's lifespan.

10. Document Your Work and Seek Feedback

Keep a record of your bending tasks, including settings and outcomes. Documentation helps track progress and provides valuable insights for future operations. After completing tasks, seek feedback from experienced operators. Continuous learning and improvement will enhance your skills and confidence in operating the CNC press brake.


Conclusion

Operating a CNC press brake is both a challenge and an opportunity for learning and growth for novices. After you gradually mastering the operating skills above, you will gradually become a skilled CNC press brake operator and surely improve both work efficiency and product quality.
