A press brake hydraulic system can be difficult to work on, but with some know-how, you can troubleshoot and fix common problems that may arise. Hydraulic systems in the press brakes, such as JUGAO offers, are of great importance to the proper functioning of this machine, as it is to them that you owe the pressure that makes metal bend. However, sometimes things go wrong. So whether it’s leaks, pressure loss, or contamination problems, knowing how to handle them can save you time and money. In this article, we’ll discuss how to troubleshoot and fix common hydraulic issues with the press brake. 

Common failures and solutions for hydraulic system of press brake

You can’t fix something until you know what’s wrong. Leakages, strange noises, and low pressure are the most common hydraulic problems on press brakes. If there’s a leak, you can often find oil on the ground underneath the machine or on a line on one or both sides of the hydraulics. Odd noises, such as banging or whining, typically indicate that something inside the system isn’t functioning as it should. If you find your press brake equipment less powerful than it once was or ceases to operate during a cycle, consider the hydraulic pressure. 

General steps to troubleshoot the hydraulic system for press brake machines

To really figure out what you should do about a hydraulic system, you’ve got a couple of things to look up. Begin by checking the hydraulic fluid. If it’s dirty, or too low, it should be replaced, or refilled. Then verify the pressure with a gauge. If the pressure is too low, that may indicate a leak or a pump issue. Also, and listen to the machine running. Any odd sounds can give you insight into what may be going wrong internally.

Once you know what the problem is, you can repair it. Remember that if you have a leak, you’ll have to locate where it is coming from and replace the bad element, such as a hose or seal. If the problem is contaminated hydraulic fluid, replace the old fluid, clean the system and add new fluid. If the pressure is low, confirm that the pump and valves are operating properly. Sometimes just changing a setting will cure the problem. 

Getting in front of issues with your press brake’s hydraulic system

The best way to avoid issues is to keep your hydraulic system in great shape. Inspect the hydraulic fluid frequently and replace it as necessary. Keep the machine clean, and ensure the area round it to be neat free from dust and debris, which can enter the system. And lube on a regular basis according to manufacture recommendations.
