三. Utility, Installation & Commissioning
Q6: What utility conditions are required for AFC‑622 Hydraulic Swing Arm Cutting Machine?
A6:Power supply: three‑phase power, reliable protective earthing is mandatory. No compressed‑air source required. Floor load‑bearing ≥745kg. Keep workshop ventilated; keep hydraulic oil away from open fire. Reserve space for swing‑arm moving radius, die handling and maintenance.
Extension: Although machine footprint is small, keep surrounding area clear for swing‑arm motion. Hydraulic oil is flammable; basic fire‑fighting equipment shall be equipped.
Q7:What are requirements for installation & placement of AFC‑622 Hydraulic Swing Arm Cutting Machine?
A7:Place machine on flat hard load‑bearing floor and level whole unit. Reserve clearance for swing‑arm left‑right movement. No obstacles above worktable. Keep away from high‑temperature heat source and open fire.
Extension: Reserve operation space at front and side. Do not stack materials to block swing‑arm movement.
Q8:What is complete test‑running operating procedure for AFC‑622 Hydraulic Swing Arm Cutting Machine?
A8:
1.Confirm reliable power earthing; clean oil tank and fill 30Kg hydraulic oil. Verify motor oil‑pump rotation matches arrow marking; level whole machine.
2.Clean worktable, place forming die. Manually swing arm to align ram center with die center.
Extension: Never place hands under swing‑arm ram during swing‑arm movement.
3.Select cutting‑mode according to material condition: pressure‑mode for material with thickness fluctuation; time‑mode for material with stable thickness, set corresponding process parameters.
4.Load stacked material, press hand‑switch for trial‑cut. Check whether sample is fully cut‑through and dimension is qualified.
5.Fine‑tune pressure / time parameters. Start mass‑production only after sample acceptance.
6.Monitor oil temperature and noise during production; stop machine immediately for abnormality.
7.Maintenance procedure: Cut off main power; wait hydraulic‑system fully cool‑down; place support block under swing‑arm ram before repairing.
Q9: What precautions for time‑mode and pressure‑mode selection?
A9:Pressure‑mode: cutting completes once preset pressure is reached, suitable for material with thickness fluctuation to guarantee consistent cutting force for each stroke. Time‑mode: fixed down‑stroke duration, for material with very stable thickness. Re‑adjust mode & parameters after die or material change; old parameters cannot be reused directly.
Extension: Die dimension must be within swing‑arm effective area 370×490mm. Over‑size die causes eccentric load and damages swing‑arm & oil‑cylinder.

- Incomplete cutting: Verify pressure‑mode / time‑mode parameters; check die sharpness; excessive stacked layers; insufficient oil‑level or clogged oil filter.
- No action after pressing hand‑switch: Inspect switch wiring; hand‑switch worn‑out (high‑frequency wearing part).
- Loud noise & fast oil‑temperature rise: Deteriorated hydraulic oil; clogged filter causing insufficient oil suction; air entering oil‑circuit.
- Insufficient cutting pressure: Low pressure setting; aged cylinder seals; worn oil‑pump.
- Hydraulic oil leakage: Aged cylinder oil‑seal; loose oil‑pipe joints. Extension‑added frequent site faults:
- Cutting‑position offset: Skewed die placement; swing‑arm ram mis‑aligned with die‑center. Never use over‑size die beyond swing‑arm working range.
- Frequent motor‑protection tripping: Check overload condition; verify motor‑protection setting; check oil‑circuit jam.
