Sole and Upper Pressing Machine Base Q&A
一.Application & Market Positioning FAQs
Q1: What shoe‑making scenarios is AB‑918A wall‑type sole pressing machine suitable for?
A1: AB‑918A is hydraulic wall‑type sole attaching press equipment for shoe factories. It is used for sole‑upper bonding & pressing procedure. It is widely applied for leather shoes, casual shoes, sports‑style footwear. It fits medium‑and‑large shoe‑making assembly‑lines and sample workshops, supports stable single‑shift or two‑shift continuous production. Different shoe‑last sizes can be adapted via simple mechanical adjustment.
Q2: What core pain points of shoe factories can this machine solve?
A2: Conventional pressing equipment often brings problems such as uneven pressing force, poor sole fitting, easy delamination / bubble defects. Some old‑model machines are complicated to adjust when switching shoe styles and highly rely on skilled operators. AB‑918A adopts multi‑cylinder hydraulic driving structure, independent adjustment for pressing‑head, edge‑pressing and clamping‑tightening movements. It reduces operator skill requirement, improves sole‑upper fitting compactness and lowers reject ratio caused by poor pressing effect.
Q3: What are the full core competitive advantages of this model?
A3:
- Integrated multi‑action hydraulic system: Press‑head pressing, edge‑pressing and front‑rear clamping‑tightening actions can be completed in one cycle or operated independently, flexible for diverse shoe‑type demands;
- Adjustable pressing‑head mechanism: Press‑head position can be moved and positioned, adapt to various shoe‑last outlines;
- Modular hydraulic‑circuit & electrical layout: Clear component division, convenient for inspection, disassembly and parts replacement;
- Dual‑hand start safety design: Prevent mis‑operation injury, improve workshop operation safety;
- Simple parameter setting: Each group of timers independently controls action time, easy to debug for new shoe styles.

Q4: What are the key functional modules of AB‑918A?
A4:
- Press‑head assembly: Includes left‑right pressing‑head, rotating oil‑cylinder, front‑rear foot oil‑cylinder for main sole pressing work;
- Edge‑pressing mechanism: Left‑right edge‑pressing oil‑cylinders and rubber blocks for side‑wall edge compaction;
- Front‑rear clamping‑tightening mechanism: Clamping oil‑cylinders and rubber blocks to fasten shoe front‑rear position during pressing;
- Hydraulic power unit: Oil tank, main motor, manifold valve block, pressure regulating handles and pressure gauges for power output;
- Control panel: Multiple timers, selector switches, emergency‑stop & dual‑hand start‑buttons for mode selection and action‑time setting.
Q5: What practical production value does AB‑918A bring?
A5:It realizes reliable pressing for sole‑upper bonding procedure. Multi‑group independent adjustment meets the production demands of multiple shoe‑types. Dual‑hand start improves operational safety. Modular structure shortens fault‑handling time and reduces production‑line downtime loss.

四.On‑Site Installation & Environment Matching FAQs
Q7: What power, space and environmental requirements before installation?
A7:
- Power supply: Stable three‑phase 380V power source, reliable grounding for electrical safety; After motor wiring, verify rotation direction; swap any two power‑line wires if pressure cannot reach standard value;

- Environment: Workshop with good ventilation; avoid heavy‑dust environment to protect hydraulic valve blocks and electrical components;
- Ground: Flat, solid ground to bear machine weight and avoid offset caused by long‑time vibration.
五.Standard Startup & Production Operation SOP FAQs
Q8: What is the complete standardized operating procedure from power‑on to mass‑production?
A8:
- Pre‑startup inspection: Remove anti‑rust grease; check power‑supply grounding; confirm hydraulic‑oil liquid level; test emergency‑stop button function; lubricate all lubrication nozzles; clean rubber‑block residues;
- Power‑on: Switch on main power supply; set each timer for action‑duration; select working‑mode via selector switches;
- Idle test run: Perform multiple empty cycles without shoe workpiece; check for abnormal noise, oil‑leakage and each‑group action coordination;
- Sample debugging: Place shoe last + assembled shoe on work station; run test pressing; adjust pressure, time and mechanical‑position parameters until pressing quality meets factory internal‑standards;
- Formal mass‑production: Put shoes in place, trigger dual‑hand start‑buttons to execute pressing cycle; carry out random sampling inspection of finished shoes each shift;
- Shift‑end shutdown: Clean rubber‑block and station dirt; stop main motor; cut off main power for long‑time stand‑by.
⚠️ Safety warning: Do NOT put hands into the space between shoe box and pressing‑head during machine running. Do NOT set working pressure above 50 kgf/cm².
六.Common Abnormality & Trouble‑Shooting Tips FAQs

• Phenomenon 2: Motor does not run
Check points: Inspect fuse, motor power‑on condition and ground connection.
• Phenomenon 3: Motor reverses rotation, pressure cannot rise
Check points: Power‑wire connection error; swap any two three‑phase wires.
• Phenomenon 4: Abnormal noise from oil pump
Check points: Inspect hydraulic‑oil volume, pump wear condition, motor‑bearing and joint damage.
• Phenomenon 5: Solenoid valve / selected‑switch without action
