(1) Maximum width and length of the slotted sheet:
(2) Maximum thickness of the slotted sheet:
(3) The minimum distance of the V-shaped groove from the edge:
(4) Cutting speed:
(5) Left and right, up and down movement resolution, and positioning accuracy of the tool holder:
(6) blade.
The quality and number of blades directly affect the machining efficiency and the speed of tool wear.
Traditional grooving equipment uses three blades for simultaneous cutting, and current technology uses four blades for simultaneous cutting.

The models for v grooving machines manufactured by us are: horizontal/gantry/vertical/four-side 1250mm*3200mm, 1250mm*4000mm, 1500mm*3200mm, 1500mm*4000mm, 1250mm*6000mm, 1250mm*8000mm, 1500mm*6000mm, 1500mm*8000mm. And we can customize the worktable size to the customer’s special need.
The most popular modem is 1250×4000(W*L) V grooving machine.

Due to the obvious advantages of V-shaped groove bending technology, and the fact that the traditional bending method and equipment do not need to be changed, only the sheet metal V-grooving machine needs to be added, so V-grooving bend forming technology has been widely used in the emerging middle and high-grade decoration industry in the first place.
It was then adopted in elevator manufacturing.
Next, some experts in medical device manufacturing and electric control cabinet manufacturing industry also showed their interest in V-grooving bend forming technology.
It can be seen that with a deep understanding of the V-grooving bend forming technology, the application field of this technology will be broader.

(1)  Lay the metal sheet flat on the workbench. If the metal sheet has a protective film, then the side with the protective film facing down. One side of the sheet metal clings to the benchmark block in front of the worktable.
(2)  Press the sheet metal pressing button to tighten the edge of the sheet material and complete the positioning of the sheet material.
(3)  Adjust the position of the proximity switch limit block at the left and right side of the tool holder slide block properly according to the length of the sheet metal.
(4)  Determine the spacing of the grooves and the forward and backward adjustment of the beam. Jog the “origin alignment” in the PLC touch screen to realize accurate positioning. That is, the beam displacement to the first groove position, press the follow-up press button to press the sheet metal material tightly.
(5)  The blade block with a thickness of 35mm is used to set the initial point of the blade, lock the pressing screw, and check the blade block to ensure the height of the blade. This is an important preparatory work to ensure the precise depth of the grooves and the production of safe grooves.
(6)  Check whether the blade is in good condition and if the blade is badly worn, loosen the blade. Press the screw and rotate the blade 90 degrees, that is, change it to a new blade edge. Or flip the blade and change another blade surface.
(7)  Press the work-in button on the operation panel of the electrical box to perform the first grooving. Generally, the first grooving depth is 0.3mm, followed by the thickness of the processed sheet metal.
(8)  After the groove depth meets the requirement, let the grooving blade exit the sheet metal surface. The sliding frame automatically moves to the pre-set right limit position. The PLC controls the beam displacement to the next groove, and then the second grooving is processed. Until the whole grooving process is finished, press the “release button” of the follow-up material’s pressing on the mobile operating station and loosen the follow-up press device. The PLC performs the next groove positioning instruction. The beam immediately moves back to the next groove and repeats until all grooves are finished.
(9)   After the completion of the grooving work, loosen all the pressing devices, back the beam to the appropriate position, take out the sheet metal materials, and clean the working table.
(10)  When spray cooling is needed, the switch in the electric cabinet will be opened first, and the cooling system will be automatically lubricated during the cutting process.

● CNC grooving machine should be maintained and operated by the specially-assigned person;
● The operator of CNC V-groover must pass the training of the professional department. After passing the examination and obtaining the qualification certificate, the operator can operate independently;
● Before the operation, wear long-sleeve work clothes (to prevent burning by the grooved debris from splashing), and gloves must be worn when loading and unloading the sheet metal;
● Before starting the V-grooving machine, check whether the machine table is clean, especially between clamps and table;
● Reset the origin after starting up. When working, check whether the workpiece conforms to the process requirements and correctly input the size and grooving depth;
● When the operator is put on the small sheet, remember to handle lightly. Before loading, clean the machine surface and the feeding table, and can not residual grooved wire and other sundries;
● When running the grooving machine, check if the sheet metal is pushing to the origin. The staff shall not extend the head and any part of the body into the machine motor area (to prevent hurt by the machine). The air gun and hand should not be placed under the fixed clamp;
● When the grooving machine is in moving, the operation must be stopped in case of a machine collision or a collision of the materials. First, reset the origin to prevent the moving of the origin at the time of the collision;
● After grooving, gently place the sheet in the designated position to prevent the workpiece from being scratched;
● After the operation, conduct the daily maintenance of the grooving machine, cut off the power supply and clean the workplace.
