We all know that coolant will leave residue on the tool holder components during machine operation. The chips will stick to the coolant chips, which will have a serious effect on the position of the spindle and the tool holder. For example, it will reduce the performance of the tool by scratching the part.
Even more frightening is that this may also threaten the safety of operators. Therefore, the maintenance of the tool holder is extremely important during the operation of the engraving machine.
Therefore, we have listed five considerations:
- After the machine has been used, it is necessary to inspect the spindle and the tool holder and even need to remove the tool holder and clean the parts.
- After the machine has stopped running, the entire machine failure program should include the cleaning of the spindle.
- In order to prevent rust, after cleaning the surface of the spindle socket with a manual wiping tool and a dust-free cloth with light-transmitting oil, be sure to spray a layer of light-transmitting oil.
- When the work is completed and the tool is returned to the crib, the tool and the tool holder should be completely removed and manually cleaned and reassembled. If conditions permit, the person designated can be responsible for the maintenance of the knife.
- It is essential to record the results on a regular basis, and in particular, you should not ignore any differences. For example, a reduction in traction may directly affect the safety of workers. Because it may be a warning signal for problems within the machine, it needs to be checked and controlled.
In summary, in order to create a safe working environment and extend the life of the tool holder and the spindle, it takes time and cost in inspection and cleaning.
