How can Manhart (Guangdong) CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd. reduce the failure rate of punching and shearing machines through preventive maintenance?

To reduce the failure rate of punching and shearing machines through preventive maintenance, the following measures can be taken:
###1 Regular inspections
*Set a fixed inspection cycle, such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly, to conduct comprehensive inspections of key components, connectors, lubrication points, etc. of the shearing machine. Ensure that all components are in good working condition and are not loose, worn or damaged.
###2 Lubrication and maintenance
*According to the manufacturer’s recommendation, regularly lubricate each lubrication point of the shearing machine to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life. At the same time, clean the working area and casing of the machine to eliminate dust and dirt accumulation.
###3 Maintenance of cutting tools and dies
*Regularly check the wear of the cutting tools and dies of the punching and shearing machine. If wear is found, replace it in a timely manner to ensure work quality and safety. In addition, it is necessary to regularly clean the cutting tools and molds to prevent rust and blockage.
###4 Inspection of electrical and hydraulic systems
*Regularly inspect the electrical system of the punching and shearing machine, including the condition of cables, switches, fuses, and motors, to ensure their normal operation. At the same time, check the oil quality and level of the hydraulic system, as well as the integrity of hydraulic pipelines and joints.
###5 Preventive maintenance
*Before identifying potential issues, carry out preventive maintenance based on the usage of the equipment and the manufacturer’s recommendations. This can include replacing vulnerable parts, adjusting machine parameters, tightening loose components, etc.
###6 Train operators
*Ensure that the operators of the punching and shearing machine have received appropriate training on how to operate and maintain the equipment correctly. Operators should understand the basic principles of the equipment, safety operating procedures, and simple troubleshooting methods.
###7 Record and maintain logs
*Establish equipment maintenance logs, detailing each inspection, lubrication, repair, and replacement of components. This helps to track the maintenance history of the equipment, identify potential issues in a timely manner, and provide reference for future maintenance plans.
###8 Maintain contact with manufacturers
*If you encounter difficult problems, you can contact the manufacturer or supplier of the punching and shearing machine to seek professional technical support and advice. They may provide additional guidance on equipment maintenance or provide special repair tools and services.
By implementing these preventive maintenance measures, the failure rate of the punching and shearing machine can be significantly reduced, and the reliability and production efficiency of the equipment can be improved. At the same time, this also helps to extend the service life of the equipment, reduce maintenance costs and downtime.
