What is vibratory tub finishing machine?

About Vibratory Tub Finishing Machine

        Let me ask a question first: If you have some parts with a longer appearance, such as a length of more than 500mm, can our existing finishing machines be used? The answer is no. The length of the workpiece processed by the centrifugal barrel or disc polishing machine generally cannot exceed 300mm. Although the length of the barrel tumbling finishing machine can exceed 500mm, it is not suitable for polishing because of its low efficiency. Rapid finishing and polishing in large quantities and with high efficiency are not it’s features. Although the current vibratory bowl finishing machines are relatively versatile, they are unable to handle some workpieces that are too long, because the channel width inside the machine’s working bowl generally does not exceed 500mm. So if you want to polish and deburr this type of workpiece, you need to use a long-chamber vibratory finishing machine. The working chamber of this polishing equipment is a long rectangular tub. The length of the customized tub can reach 2-4 meters. It is a special polishing machine specially suitable for polishing extra-long parts.
The heavy-duty designed work tub can handle large product workpieces, but for some products that cannot collide with each other, such as large impellers, automobile aluminum alloy wheels, etc., some dividers can also be designed and installed inside the tub to form separate chamber, each product is finished and polished in an independent working chamber, without causing surface damage caused by collision of workpieces with each other.
This model is also very suitable for finishing and polishing some large products such as marble tiles, engine casings, and engine crankshafts.
ShineTec provides universal standard tub-shaped vibratory finishing machines, and can also customize models according to the length and width of your workpieces. The working volume can range from 15L to 3000L, making it the best equipment for finishing and polishing ultra-long and ultra-wide parts.

Frequently asked questions about rectangular tub finishing machines:

  • 1．What is vibratory tub finishing machine?
  • The vibratory tub finishing machine is a polishing machine that uses vibration to deburring, descaling, cleaning, degreasing, deflashing and polish the surface of product parts and workpieces.
    It can be used to polish large and irregular workpieces with complex shapes. To avoid collisions between workpieces, divider can be installed inside the tub to allow each product of the same batch to be processed in a separate work chamber. The workpiece materials processed can be metals, alloys, ceramics, plastics, etc. If you have some large products that need to be finished and polished, then this rectangular tub finishing and polishing machine is a good choice.

    ShineTec's linear tub vibratory finishing machine

  • 2. Can you tell me how a vibratory tub finishing machine works?
  • The working principle of the vibratory tub finishing machine is similar with othervibratory bowl finishing machines . When machine working, you need to put the workpiece, abrasive media, appropriate amount of finishing liquid and water into the machine. After the machine is started, the abrasive media and the workpiece will roll together longitudinally. The abrasive media will rub on the surface of the workpiece, which can remove burrs and oxidation layer on the surface of the workpiece. The time of the entire grinding process is determined according to the condition of the workpiece surface. The longer the burr or the thicker the oxide scale, the longer it takes. After finishing is completed, you will get a batch of products with the same surface grinding effect.
  • 3．What device and abrasive media are required for the polishing process of ShineTec vibratory tub finishing machine?

  • 3.1 Tub finisher. The machine consists of a rectangular working tub, vibration motor, electrical control box and other mechanical accessories.
    Working chamber. The workpiece, tumbling media, finishing compound, and water are put into the tub together, and then a series of surface treatments are performed, such as deburring, descaling, degreasing, chamfering, cleaning, polishing and brightening. These operations can be completed in the same batch .The tub is also lined with wear-resistant PU glue to prevent the workpiece from being damaged by the machine and abrasive wear on the iron plate inside the tub body of the machine.
    Vibration motor. The vibration motor is installed at the bottom of the working tub or at both ends of the tub. If it is at the bottom, only one motor is needed. If it is installed at both ends, two identical motors are needed.
    Water and liquid filling system. The grinding liquid and water are pumped into the working tub by a pump. The finishing liquid can be used to soften the surface oxide layer and speed up the grinding efficiency. It also has the function of cleaning oil stains under the combined action of clean water.
    Electrical control box. You can use the switch to control the machine to adjust the tumbling speed and vibration frequency of the machine. It also has overcurrent and overvoltage protection to prevent the motor from overloading.

    3.2 Ceramic media. The ceramic media generally used for deburring is called a deburring media. It is the main material involved in the deburring process. Because of the different content and grit size of the corundum sand contained in it, the deburring media are divided into heavy cutting force, medium cutting force and light cutting force. By rubbing the surface of the workpiece, the burrs and scale are removed.

    3.3 Water. Water plays several roles in the vibratory finishing process. First of all, water can lubricate and buffer between the workpiece and the abrasive media, so that the surface of the workpiece will not be damaged by impact. In addition, it can also cool down the machine. If there is no water involved in the grinding process, just dry finishing will cause the work tub to be damaged. The temperature becomes very high, which can easily damage the PU lining, while also preventing dust pollution. Finally, it can also wash away abrasive debris, workpiece burrs, oxide scale and other impurities produced after finishing.

    3.4 Polishing liquid. Polishing liquid helps speed up the finishing and cutting process. It can also prevent metal product workpieces from being corroded after contact with water. After polishing with compound liquid, the surface of the product can become more shiny.

  • 4．Are there other different names for vibratory tub finishing machines?
  • There are many different names. For example, rectangular tub finisher, tub tumblers, linear vibratory finishing machines, tub polishing machines, tub deburring machines, etc.
  • 5. What finishing and polishing processes can the vibratory tub finishing machine handle?
  • 5.1 Deburring. Burrs on the surface of product parts can be removed through the deburring process. We all know that burrs and flash can cause harm to users. After this process, the product becomes safe and easy to use.

    5.2 Smoothing and polishing. After smoothing and polishing process, the surface of the product will become brighter and the gloss will be further improved. If used with special polishing media and compound, the product will become dazzling and shiny. This is called brightening treatment.

    5.3 Degreasing and decontaminating. After the product is machined, a layer of sludge and dirt on the surface is difficult to clean. Ordinary manual cleaning is too inefficient and difficult to remove. The tub-shaped vibrating finishing machine can quickly clean the oil stains on the internal and external surfaces, dead corners, and holes in large quantities. It is the best automatic cleaning, degreasing and decontaminating process.

    5.4 Deflashing. Burrs, flashes are also annoying defects on the surface of workpieces. It is a quality problem that must be eliminated. A vibratory tub finisher can also achieve this purpose.

    5.5 Descaing. The tub polishing machine can also easily remove the oxide scale on the surface of the workpiece.

  • 6．What is the difference between the vibratory tub finishing machine and other finishing machines?
  • The first is that the length of the workpiece finished can be extremely long, such as more than 1 meter.
    Secondly, the working tub of the machine is open and unsealed. Compared with centrifugal polishers and barrel polishers, this structure allows users to observe the surface condition of the product at any time during the finishing process and evaluate whether it meets the predetermined standards.
    Furthermore, for some special large product components, such as aluminum alloy wheels, turbine blades, marble and other products that are not allowed to collide with each other, the working chamber can be separated and each product can be finished separately.
    It can be seen that the tub-shaped vibratory finisher is a finishing and polishing equipment with unique and specialized purposes.

  • 11. What routine maintenance can extend the service life of the vibratory tub finishing machine?
  • Listed below are things you need to pay attention to on a daily basis:

    11.1 Regularly check the mixing ratio of abrasive media, water, and workpieces in the machine.
    Because the abrasive will wear out after long-term use, the working tub also needs to maintain an appropriate amount of water to lubricate and buffer the grinding process. If the abrasive or water is insufficient, it will need to be added. Do not keep very few tumbling media in the machine to save on abrasive costs. Too small abrasive media ratio will increase grinding and polishing time and damage the surface quality of the workpiece.

    11.2 Check the condition of the machine before starting it every time. Make sure the machine is in good operating condition.

    11.3 Regular maintenance. In addition to some visual inspections, such as damage to PU lining and fractures of accessories, it is also necessary to pay attention to the condition of some fasteners, the aging of transmission components, and the lubrication of vibration motors.
    Good usage habits can ensure a longer service life of the rectangular tub vibrating polishing machine.
  • 12．What is the difference between the vibratory tub finishing machine and other vibrating finishing machines?
  • The working chamber of other vibratory polishing machines are bowl, but some workpieces are not suitable for finishing and polishing in annular containers.
    The tub-type vibrating finishing machine is the best choice for some large and long workpieces.
  • 13. What is the difference between the surface quality of vibratory tub finishing machine and manual finishing?
  • The difference between these two finishing and polishing methods is huge.
    The use of a vibratory tub finisher can ensure that the workpiece is always in a continuous finishing and polishing process, in which the cutting force is consistent and uniform, and the surface condition of the workpiece can be observed at any time to decide whether to stop finishing.
    The strength of manual finishing and polishing is inconsistent, and the finishing quality of the surface depends on the proficiency and skill of the worker. Therefore, the surface quality after grinding is uneven. If the workers’ skills are not up to standard, a lot of scrapped products may be produced, which will greatly increase the processing cost.
  • 14. What are the tub capacity specifications of the vibratory tub finishing machine?
  • The working volume can be from 15 liters to about 3000 liters. There are many different volume specifications to choose from.
  • 15. What types of vibratory tub finishing machines are there?

  • 11. What deburring media are mainly used in vibratory deburring machines?
  • The effect of deburring depends on the selection of the correct and suitable deburring media. The higher the abrasive sand powder content and the larger the grit size, the cutting force will increase accordingly, but the wear resistance will decrease. The smaller the deburring media, the smoother surface after deburring will be better than the larger tumbling media.
    The types of deburring media are as follows:

    11.1 ceramic deburring media. There are different deburring strengths such as heavy cutting, medium cutting and light cutting. Heavy cutting tumbling media can grind and deburr workpieces made of harder materials, such as iron, titanium alloys, hard plastics, ceramic products, etc. Medium cutting and light cutting tumbling media can finish precision parts such as stainless steel and alloy steel.

    11.2 plastic media. Also called resin deburring media, also known as polyester media. Usually used for precision finishing, deburring and polishing workpieces. Especially suitable for soft metal workpieces, such as aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, copper, etc. If ceramic deburring media is used to deburring these materials, scratches, pitting, and color dissipation will occur.

    11.3 stainless steel media. Stainless steel media are mainly used to improve the gloss and brightness of metal workpiece surfaces. It can also be used to polish some fine burrs on the surface of certain plastic or ceramic products.

    11.4 Natural bio-degradable media. If you are looking for an abrasive media that has the ability to gently and slightly deburr, then plant-based organic abrasives like walnut shells, corn cobs, etc. are a good choice. This kind of abrasive media can simulate the polishing effect of a cloth wheel. Through long-term finishing under slight cutting force, the surface of the workpiece can achieve an effect close to mirror polishing, so many people also call it mirror polishing media.
    This kind of abrasive can also be used as a drying media for surface drying after grinding and polishing of products. It also has the function of absorbing oil stains on the surface of the workpiece. It is a safe and environmentally friendly bioabrasive.
  • 12. What routine maintenance can extend the service life of the vibratory deburring machine?
  • For example, is the vibration motor lubricated regularly every month? Check whether the PU lining of the working bowl is damaged? Is the discharge port filter blocked by sludge? Is the vibration spring on the base of the machine broken?

  • 13. How to choose the correct deburring media to match the vibratory deburring machine?
  • Tumbling deburring media selection plays a key role in the process of deburring. The abrasive sand in the tumbling media plays a role in finishing and polishing burrs on the workpiece.
    So how to choose the correct finishing media when deburring? There are currently four main categories of mass finishing media. Commonly used materials include brown corundum ceramic media, plastic deburring media, stainless steel polishing media and Natural bio-degradable abrasive media.
    These abrasive media have different cutting forces and different specifications and shapes, such as triangle, sphere, cylinder, three-star, cone, pyramid, wedge, etc.
    In order to fully reach the workpiece with complex shape during deburring, the upper shape can be made into a chamfered shape.
    Also consider whether the deburring media will clog holes and crevices in the workpiece. Generally, we will propose a selection plan for deburring machines and finishing media based on providing process samples testing.
    What are the best deburring machines and process solution and methods for deburring? Only after sufficient process testing and comprehensive consideration of surface effects and processing costs is the best solution.

  • 2. How to choose the right vibratory polishing machine?
  • In response to your workpiece polishing needs, we will ask you to send samples for process testing in the early stage. If you are satisfied with the final results of our samples, we will then based on the actual conditions of your products, such as material, shape, size, and processing quantity. and other factors, provide a professional process solution, select vibratory polishing machines with different processing capacities, or corresponding auxiliary equipment that can help improve efficiency, complete supporting functions, and polishing media that suit the requirements.
  • 3．How do you determine the processing capacity of the vibratory polishing machine you need?
  • Based on the sample results of your workpiece, the process selection for polishing treatment is determined. Next, you need to provide the daily processing quantity requirements of your workpieces. The workpiece and polishing media cannot fill the entire machine. Generally speaking, the total volume of polishing media and workpiece cannot exceed 80% of the machine capacity. The following is a reference table for the volume ratio of media to workpieces corresponding to different polishing process requirements during feeding:
    Media to workpiece volume ratio Typical application
    0 : 1 No tumbling media, self-finishing and polishing, such as some decorative stones for handicrafts.
    1 : 1 The same proportion of abrasive media and parts such as forgings, castings, etc., with very rough surfaces.
    2 : 1 Gentle finishing, allowing workpieces to collide with each other.
    3 : 1 Minimum ratio for finishing copper, aluminum, zinc and other non-ferrous metal workpieces. The workpieces may collide with each other, so the ratio is suitable for grinding and polishing ferrous metals.
    4 : 1 The ratio of non-ferrous metal workpieces with average efficiency. High polishing efficiency ratio for ferrous metal parts.
    5 : 1 More suitable for finishing non-ferrous metal parts. Workpieces rarely collide with each other.
    6 : 1 Suitable for finishing of non-ferrous metal products. Commonly used for pre-plating treatment with resin media and aluminum and zinc alloy workpieces.
    8 : 1 Suitable for finishing of non-ferrous metals or precision parts. Less surface roughness and smoothness.
    10:1~20:1 Better finishing quality. Suitable for irregular shapes or fragile workpieces.
    Maximizing No collision between workpieces. One machine polishes one part or each workpiece needs to be separated.
  • 4. What is the quality guarantee for the parts and raw materials of the vibratory polishing machines from ShineTec?

    The brown corundum sand powder used in the production of ceramic media is also a new top-level raw material and is not a secondary recycled material used by many small manufacturers in the industry.
    Micropowder and clay are also sourced from top domestic manufacturers.
    Therefore, the main parts and raw materials required for production are traceable, and quality can be guaranteed.
  • 5．What does the guide angle of the eccentric weight on the motor mean?
  • The angle formed by the eccentric weights (commonly known as hammers) at the upper and lower ends of the motor is called the guide angle. The factory default angle is 90 degrees at right angles to each other. This angle causes the polishing media and workpiece to tumble from the outside to the inside of the vibrating polishing machine and rotate clockwise. If you need to adjust the vibration and rotation directions, the two included angles can be adjusted to 70 degrees or 120 degrees.
    The adjustment of eccentric weight of the vibration motor has two functions:
    ⑴ Adjustment of the excitation force: Remove the tightening bolts of the eccentric weight and adjust the excitation force by increasing or decreasing the number of eccentric weights;
    ⑵ Adjustment of the angle between the upper and lower eccentric weights: the upper eccentric weight is a fixed block and the lower eccentric weight is an adjustable block, both of which are pressed on the motor shaft using fastening bolts. There are reference lines engraved on both ends of the rotating shaft. The outer surface of the lower weight is equipped with a scale indicating the rotation angle. Loosen the pressing bolt of the lower eccentric weight and rotate the lower eccentric weight so that the angle scale mark on the lower eccentric weight is aligned with the reference mark of the rotating shaft line, adjust to the required angle, and tighten the lower eccentric weight holding bolt; if you need to adjust the angle of the upper eccentric block, you can also adjust it according to the corresponding method.

  • 2. What are the types of vibratory finishing machines?
  • ShineTec provides various types of vibratory finishing machines, which correspond to different product polishing needs.

    ❖ U-shaped vibratory finishing machine without separator.

    U-shaped vibratory finishing machine, the shape of the working bowl is a design similar to the letter “U”, and the inner wall of the upper opening of the bowl is straight, so it is also called a straight-wall vibratory finishing machine. Because there is no discharge separating screen, the size of the machine can be made smaller, and the minimum capacity can start from 30L. However, after the workpiece is polished, it needs to be picked up manually or mixed with abrasives media and discharged from the machine discharge port.

    ❖ U-shaped vibratory finishing machine with separator .

    There is a discharge port separator installed inside the working bowl of the machine that can automatically screen workpieces and tumbling media, so the minimum capacity of the machine needs to be from 100L. After the polishing task is completed, the workpieces can be automatically screened and output from the separating port. There is no need to manually grab each piece from the machine, which greatly improves the separation efficiency of the workpieces and abrasive media after batch polishing and reduces the time required and intensity of work.

    ❖ Arc-shaped vibratory finishing machine without separator.

    The arc-shaped vibrating finishing machine is also called a curved wall finishing machine because the inner wall of the working bowl is a curved arc design. Such a structure will generate greater pressure during the finishing and polishing process, which can improve the finishing efficiency of the machine in a relatively short period of time. It is especially suitable for products that require spherical tumbling media for bright polishing.

    ❖ Arc-shaped vibratory finishing machine with separator.

    Like the U-shaped machine, its working towl is equipped with a discharge port separating device that can automatically separate the workpiece and the tumbling media. Improve the screening efficiency of workpieces and reduce labor intensity.

    ❖ Tub-shaped linear vibratory finishing machine.

    It is suitable for surface finishing and polishing of large or extra-long parts. The vibration deviation generated by the vibration motor is used to cause the workpiece and the tumbling media to produce a two-dimensional movement trajectory, so that the workpiece and the finishing media grind each other in the working bowl. Achieve surface gloss effect.

    ❖ Continuous orbital vibratory finishing machine.

    By installing a spiral tunnel structure in the working bowl of the machine, a one-way motion trajectory is achieved for the workpiece to enter from the feed port and exit from the discharge port during the polishing process.
    The polishing time of a single workpiece can be controlled to avoid collision between workpieces.

    ShineTec's continuous tunnel bowl vibratory finisher


    ❖Vibrating dryer.

    Same as the vibrating finishing machine, the excitation force is generated by the vibration motor, which drives the drying media and the workpiece in the working bowl to produce a spiral three-dimensional movement. The media and the workpiece rub against each other, thereby achieving the effect of dehydration and drying of the workpiece. A hot air circulation device can also be installed to speed up the drying process.
    All vibrating finishing machines can be equipped with cylinder flaps for separator and silencer cover accessories to improve work efficiency and reduce work noise.

  • 3. How to choose a suitable vibratory finishing machine?

  • 8. What are the common problems in the operation of vibratory finishing machines?
  • Generally you will encounter two problems during the operation of the machine. One is that the tumbling direction of the materials is wrong; the other is that the rotation direction of the abrasive media is wrong.
    If the operation is normal, the tumbling direction of the abrasive and workpiece is from the outside of the working bowl to the central cylinder. The material rotates in a clockwise direction.
    If you find that the rolling direction is wrong, first check whether the two eccentric weights on the bottom of vibration motor are at an angle of 90 degrees to each other. If not, please adjust the angle of the eccentric weights.
    If the problem still cannot be solved after adjusting the angle of the eccentric weight, please check the power cord of the control box and exchange the live wire and neutral wire in the three-phase line.
    If the abrasive media movement direction in the machine is not clockwise, first check whether the abrasive load is too much. Please confirm that the ratio of abrasive to the total volume of the working bowl does not exceed 2/3. Also check again that the angle between the motor eccentric weights is 75 degrees or 120 degrees.
  • 9. What kind of power supply does a vibratory finishing machine require?
  • Our vibratory finishing machine requires 3 phases, 380V, 50Hz. If there are different power usage environments, please confirm with us in advance before ordering the machine.
  • 10. What components does the vibratory finishing machine include?
  • Different models contain different parts. A complete set of machines generally includes the following components:

    10.1 Work bowl.
    The working bowl is a container used to hold the finishing media and the workpiece for mixing and tumbling. According to the processing capacity of the machine, the volume of the bowl is also different. The inner wall of the bowl is lined with high-strength wear-resistant elastomer polyurethane (PU) to protect your polished parts and prevent wear of the inner wall of the machine.

    10.2 Separating screen.
    There are two types of built-in separating screens. One is made of PU casting and is suitable for screening workpieces of regular sizes. The other is made of stainless steel mesh, which is suitable for relatively small product parts.

    10.3 Vibrating motor.
    The vibrating motor is the power source of the vibratory finishing machine and is also a very important machine component. The motor with the eccentric weight generates excitation force, which drives the abrasive media and the workpiece in the machine working bowl to produce spiral three-dimensional motion to achieve surface finishing effects such as deburring, descaling, chamfering, contaminating and derusting and brightening .

    10.4 Spring.
    A ring of spring supports at the bottom of the working bowl suspends the bowl body on the base. The motor drives the working bowl to produce up and down reciprocating vibrations.

    10.5 Acoustic Lid.
    The machine can also be equipped with an optional acoustic lid to reduce noise during operation. However, this is not a necessary accessory, because the noise generated by the vibrating finishing machine during operation is bearable for the human body.
    In addition, the acoustic lid can also prevent the foam produced by adding excessive polishing liquid from splashing and staining the surrounding ground environment.

  • 10．What are the different types of mass finishing machine?
  • There are four different basic types of mass finishing polishers. They are vibratory (also called vibrating) finishing machines, centrifugal disc finishing machines, centrifugal barrel finishing machines, and barrel tumbling finishing machines.
    In these models, the machine drives the workpiece to tumble and rotate together with the abrasive media, and the abrasive frictionally cuts on the surface of the workpiece to achieve the purpose of polishing. This process is also called mass finishing.
    Vibratory finishing is the most commonly used polishing method. Driven by the excitation force of the motor, the abrasive and the workpiece perform a three-dimensional spiral tumbling motion in the machine. The surface of the workpiece is cut by the finishing media to complete the polishing process.
  • 11．Are there different types of abrasive media?
  • Yes, there are different types of tumbling finishing media suitable for different process requirements.
    The specific parts are different, and the applicable abrasives media are also different.
    Tumbling media include ceramic media, plastic/resin media, stainless steel media, bio-degradable media and other varieties.
    Each abrasive media has different shapes, specifications, cutting forces and other indicators.
    You can choose different tumbling media according to your different needs.
  • 12．How to use this mass finishing machine?
  • Our machines are easy to operate and use.
    You can read the accompanying operation manual and follow the step-by-step installation instructions.

  • Polishing compound play an important role in the polishing process.
    It can help soften the surface of the workpiece, clean oil stains during friction cutting, protect the product surface, prevent surface oxidation, reduce roughness, and improve brightness.
  • 17．What are the best finishing media for mass finishing machine?
  • Different workpieces and machine models are suitable for different finishing media. So there is no such thing as the best abrasive.
    Of course, the quality of the abrasive media will definitely differ. High-quality tumbling media are definitely better than low-quality and low-priced ones.
    Inferior tumbling media will damage the surface of your workpiece and increase your polishing time.
    Poor tumbling finishing media are produced from recycled corundum sand, which has poor wear resistance and high wear. The sludge generated in the same processing time will greatly increase, and the product service life is short. Although the initial purchase price is cheap, it is not durable and increases the use of the media and sludge disposal costs.
    Commonly used abrasive media with cutting force include ceramic deburring media and resin media.

    17.1 Ceramic media.
    Ceramic media are used for deburring and finishing hard parts.
    According to different cutting forces, they can be divided into different product types.
    The tumbling media with cutting force is generally ceramic finishing media, polishing and brightening is porcelain polishing media.

    17.2 Resin media.
    Resin media is also called plastic media, polyester media, suitable for deburring and finishing of soft metal or alloy products.
    For example, workpieces made of aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy and other materials.
  • 18. What should I pay attention to when operating the mass finisher?
  • Routine maintenance of the machine is crucial to its service life.
    Generally, the following steps should be checked regularly to ensure that the machine is operating normally.

    18.1 Amount of tumbling media used.
    The proper abrasive media must always be kept in the machine. The volume of the tumbling media in the machine is generally more than 2/3 of the overall capacity of the working chamber. Do not put a small amount of tumbling finishing media in the machine just to save costs.
    Too little finishing media will damage the workpiece, slow down the grinding process, and reduce polishing efficiency.

    18.2 Check the drain outlet regularly.
    Debris or sludge from the finishing process can sometimes clog drains. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check whether the drainage outlet is open or not.
    If it is blocked and not dealt with in time, the machine will be flooded with water.

    18.3 Inspection of PU lining.
    The PU lining protects the workpiece and prevents the finishing media from directly contacting the inner wall of the chamber and cutting the machine working chamber.
    Therefore you should always check the wear of the PU lining rubber. Once damaged, the machine should be re-lined promptly.

    18.4 Do not use the machine under overload conditions.
    Loading excessive workpieces into the machine can damage the machine. At the same time, self-damage of workpieces is caused by the collision between workpieces.
    Therefore, it is necessary to read the manual carefully and understand the maximum working load before starting to use the new machine.
