Common Problems of Wire Straightening and Cutting ...

Wire straightening and cutting processes often encounter various issues that can impede efficiency and quality. This comprehensive guide aims to address these common problems and provide practical solutions.

(1) One common issue is the difficulty in straightening steel bars.

When processed steel bars unthread from the discharge rack and display large bends, it indicates the need for adjustment. Tighten the middle six straightening wheels inward to correct large bends, and loosen them outward if the steel bar shows small bends after adjustment.

(2) If steel bars are not being fed properly, consider these methods:

• Ensure the traction wheel is screwed down tightly.
• Verify the correct positive and negative rotation of the machine.

(3) Issues with cutting off can be resolved by:

• Ensuring the fixed ruler is pressed tightly.
• Tightening a loose horizontal knife and securing it.
• Adjusting or replacing a too-tight turret resetting top spring, which may prevent the compression spring from bouncing.

(4) Short steel ends after cutting, which can be addressed by:

• Reducing the feeding speed or tightening the turrets’ resetting top horizontal springs to allow the knife table to reset properly.
• Adjusting and lubricating the discharge rack to ensure smooth operation and proper alignment with the main unit.

(5) If steel bars are not blanked after cutting, you might need to:

• Adjust the pressure roller seat in front of the knife table so its bearing presses the discharge frame's pressure plate.
• Replace or repair a worn wear-resistant gland above the turret.

(6) Scratches on reinforced steel bars may result from:

• Excessive pressure from the straightening wheel.
• Insufficient run-in time between the straightening wheel and steel bar, especially for new machines.
• Wear marks from the feed inlet or shaft hole of the straightening frame.
• If scratches are a critical concern, consult the manufacturer to customize the straightening wheel with softer material.
• Over time, scratches typically diminish as the machine continues in use.

With my expertise in working with various wire straightening and cutting machines, I can attest to the effectiveness of these solutions. However, for more severe issues, consulting the machine's manufacturer or a professional technician might be necessary.
