Spring Mechanism

Calibrating a spring coiling machine is a meticulous task that requires careful step-by-step procedures. First, confirm the installation location of the machine, choosing a flat and stable surface to avoid machine shaking during operation, which could affect the precision of the coiled springs. After installing the machine, check the connection of all components, ensuring that screws and nuts are tightened, especially at critical points such as the feed mechanism and coiling shaft. Next, calibrate the feed system. Set the feed length according to the specifications of the springs you want to coil. Manually feed the material to observe if it moves smoothly without any jamming. If there is, inspect the feed rollers for wear or uneven pressure, and adjust the roller pressure accordingly to ensure the material feeds uniformly and steadily. Also, check the feed track to ensure it is free of debris and deformation, allowing the material to pass smoothly. The calibration of the coiling mechanism is also crucial. Determine the speed of the coiling shaft based on the pitch and outer diameter of the spring. For smaller pitch and outer diameter springs, the speed can be relatively faster but not too fast to avoid irregular spring shapes. Observe the smoothness of the coiling shaft's operation, checking for any abnormal vibration or noise. If present, it might be due to misalignment of the coiling shaft, requiring re-calibration. Additionally, adjust the coiling die to ensure precise fit with the coiling shaft, matching the die size with the spring specifications to avoid inaccurate spring dimensions. The control section should not be overlooked. Adjust the parameters on the control panel, such as the number of coils and the pattern of pitch variation, ensuring accurate input. Conduct a test run, measuring the outer diameter, pitch, and number of coils of the spring after
