Safety Precautions For Working With Metal Sheet Rolling Machines
Posted: Apr 14, 2014
Plate or sheet bending rolls come in two distinct categories: single and double pinch, and often vary in geometry or style. General styles include three roll initial pinch, three roll double pinch, four roll double pinch, etc. Plate rolls are built in a vertical format for special application. In addition to the type of machines, the most common Rolling Processes used in the shaping of the metal include:
- Hot Rolling : In this process, metal is melted, casted and hot rolled continuously through a series of rolling mills. The primary hot working operation is done through a roughing mill.
- Transverse Rolling : Heated bar is first cropped to length and then fed diagonally between the wedge rolls revolving in one direction.
- Section Rolling : It is a type of cold rolling process, where a flat sheet of metal is bent into different complex shapes by passing through a series of rolls. The thickness of the metal remains unchanged during this process.
- Cold Rolling : This process is important to achieve a better surface finish due to its cold temperature. Due to less thermal expansion it offers better tolerance than hot rolled process.
Metal Sheet Rolling Machine is an extremely complicated machine that is used for manufacturing different products out of metallic materials like steel, copper, etc. Though, it is easy to operate this machine, yet, it is important that few precautions are taken while working with it. Following precautions should be taken while working on a Metal Sheet Rolling Machine :
- Safety devices like trip device, hold to run control and emergency stops, etc. should be installed on the machine for effectively dealing with accidental situations.
- The operator working on the machine should have adequate knowledge about the machine. He should know about the various aspects of the machine’s safety and controls.
- Metal Sheet Rolling Machines have many moving parts that need regular maintenance for functioning properly. Regular maintenance and repair not only enhances the performance of the machine, but also prevents accidents.
- It is also advised that the operator does not wear gloves while working on this machine, as the work equipment he is holding may slip into the machine and inflict serious injuries.
- While operating this machine, a worker should hold the work piece at a safe distance from where the metal sheet can be inserted between the rollers.
- Also, the area around the Metal Sheet Rolling Machine should be well lit and kept clear of any material that may lead to accidents.
