Cautionary Tips for Gear Shaping Machine Maintenance and Care

1. External Maintenance

Clean the machine tool exterior and all covers, maintaining both internal and external cleanliness, free of rust and yellowing.

Ensure all parts such as screws, nuts, handles, and handballs are tightened and organized for machine tool maintenance.

Clean attachments for cleanliness, order, and rust prevention.

2. Pre-shift equipment inspection requirements

(1) After starting the equipment in no-load condition, inspect the integrity of the coolant supply system, ensure normal coolant flow, verify sufficient and proper cooling spray, and check if the coolant quality meets the requirements. No oil, gas (vapor), or water leaks should be present.

(2) Inspection and adjustment of equipment and fixture components; gap adjustment and securing of mating parts; and the normal operation of belts, safety devices, etc.

3. Main Transmission

Feeding Mechanism

Clean the split-tooth sprockets, cutting sprockets, differential sprocket sleeves, and sprocket mounts.

Adjust the tension of the V-belt.

Each operating handle is flexible and reliable.

4. Post-shift equipment maintenance requirements

(1) Ensure that chips, debris, and waste from all parts of the machine tools and the site are cleaned up, and that sliding surfaces, screws, and optical rods, among other areas, are free from oil stains and yellowish coatings.

(2) Refuel and change the oil according to the equipment lubrication diagram, and check if the oil quality meets the requirements. Ensure that the oil felt and oil lines are clean, the oil windows are visible, and the oil paths are unobstructed. Regularly lubricate the oil injection holes as specified in the lubrication diagram (refer to the attached illustration).

5. Pillar

Clean vertical screw shaft.

6. Rear Stand

Inspect and adjust guide rail gaps.

7. Workbench

The repair and cleaning process involves removing burrs from the workbench surface and T-slot debris.

Refine the workbench locking mechanism.

Ensure regular checks of the temperature rise of all bearings during operation, which should not exceed 50°C. Pay attention to the motor's temperature rise during high-load conditions.

9. Maintenance Cycle: Divided into Daily Maintenance and Quarterly Maintenance

(1) Clean machine tools with a clean rag, ensuring the surfaces are spotless with no oil or dust.

(2) Clean the chips from the fixture workbench and handle it with care to prevent damage.

(3) Clean the surface of the control system, ensuring it remains clean. Do not use items containing chemicals to clean the buttons.

(4) Clean off the chips from the chip separator and check if the cutting fluid is sufficient.
