During the production process of SMC sheet machines, maintenance and cleaning are very important, which can not only extend the service life of the equipment but also ensure production efficiency. The following are some common maintenance and cleaning steps:
1. Check the operation status of the equipment regularly
Check the electrical system: Ensure that the electrical circuit is not damaged and that the electrical components are working properly. Check the terminals, fuses, relays, and other components regularly to prevent overheating or damage.
Check the hydraulic system: It is very important to check the hydraulic oil level and quality. The oil quality needs to be replaced regularly, and the oil level should be maintained within the appropriate range.
Check the mechanical part: Check all moving parts for wear and looseness. Lubrication points, especially gears, bearings, sliders, and other parts, should be refueled regularly.
2. Clean the sheet machine
Clean the machine surface: Use a clean cloth or soft brush to clean the machine surface to prevent dust accumulation that could affect its operation.
Clean the production line: If there are conveyor belts, cooling devices, etc. on the production line, they need to be cleaned regularly to prevent dust and dirt accumulation from affecting work efficiency.
3. Lubrication system
Regular lubrication: Ensure that the machine’s moving parts are fully lubricated to prevent equipment damage from excessive friction.
Check lubricating oil: Lubricating oil needs to be replaced regularly, use suitable oil products, and ensure the cleanliness of grease to prevent foreign matter from entering the mechanical system.
4. Maintain cooling system
SMC production lines usually have a cooling system for cooling molds or machines. The cooling system’s water tank and pipes should be regularly checked to ensure that there is no leakage and that the water quality is good. The cooling water tank should also be cleaned regularly to prevent scale accumulation and maintain the cooling effect.
5. Check the pneumatic system
If the machine uses a pneumatic system, regularly check the air pressure and the working status of the cylinder to ensure that the air source is stable and leak-free. Clean the pneumatic components and replace the air filter regularly to ensure the system’s normal operation.
6. Prevent overload operation
To avoid failures due to excessive wear or heat, do not overload the SMC sheet machine and ensure that the load is within the equipment’s design range.
7. Regular system testing
Regularly test the performance of the machine to detect whether there is abnormal noise, vibration, or excessive temperature, discover potential problems in time, and make adjustments or repairs.
8. Operator training
Provide operators with necessary training to help them understand the equipment’s daily maintenance and cleaning methods and how to identify common faults. This will ensure that improper use is avoided during operation.
Through these measures, the SMC sheet machine can maintain good working conditions, avoid unnecessary downtime and repairs, and improve production efficiency.
