How does Manhart (Guangdong) CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd. choose appropriate lubricants to reduce wear on the bending wheels of CNC rolling and bending machines?

To choose the appropriate lubricant to reduce wear on the bending wheels of CNC rolling and bending machines, you can follow the following steps:
1. * * Understand the working environment and conditions of the equipment * *:
-Temperature: Consider whether the working environment is high or low, as this will affect the performance and stability of the lubricant.
-Humidity: Environments with high humidity may cause lubricant dilution or failure, so it is necessary to choose lubricants with water resistance or waterproof properties.
-Contaminants: If there are dust, dirt, or other pollutants in the working environment, lubricants with cleaning and anti pollution functions should be selected.
2. * * Evaluate the operating parameters of the equipment * *:
-Speed: The operating speed of the equipment can affect the selection of lubricants, and high-speed equipment may require special lubricants.
-Load: The size of the equipment’s load determines whether the required lubricant should have high extreme pressure performance to protect the bending wheel and reduce wear under high loads.
3. * * Consider the physical properties of lubricants * *:
-Viscosity: Choose a lubricant with appropriate viscosity. For CNC rolling and bending machines, it may be necessary to use lubricants with higher viscosity to provide better lubrication and wear protection.
-Base oil type: Understand the characteristics of different base oils (such as mineral oil and synthetic oil) and choose the type that is most compatible with the equipment.
4. * * Check the technical specifications and certification of lubricants * *:
-Refer to the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) or product manual of the lubricant to ensure that the selected lubricant meets the recommended standards of the equipment manufacturer.
-Priority should be given to lubricants that have undergone industry certification (such as ISO, DIN, etc.), as they typically undergo rigorous performance testing and validation.
5. * * Reference equipment manufacturer’s recommendations * *:
-Equipment manufacturers usually recommend suitable lubricant types and brands in their manuals or technical specifications. Following these suggestions is usually a good starting point.
6. * * Consider cost-effectiveness * *:
-Although high-quality and high-performance lubricants may be more expensive, they typically provide better protection, prolong equipment life, and potentially reduce long-term maintenance costs.
7. * * Conduct small-scale experiments * *:
-Before formal full use, small-scale lubricant tests can be conducted on the equipment. This helps evaluate the performance of lubricants in actual working environments and avoids the large-scale use of unsuitable lubricants.
8. * * Monitoring and Evaluation * *:
-Regularly check the use of lubricants, such as oil level, color, odor, etc., to determine whether replacement or adjustment is necessary.
-Assess the wear of the bending wheel, and if the wear is still significant, it may be necessary to consider changing the lubricant type or adjusting the lubrication plan.
In summary, selecting the appropriate lubricant involves multiple considerations, including the working environment and conditions of the equipment, operating parameters, physical properties of the lubricant, and cost-effectiveness. By considering these factors comprehensively and following the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer, you can find suitable lubricants to reduce wear on the bending wheels of the CNC bending machine.
