The hot days continue, but are you performing daily inspection properly?

We are working while taking water, and machines also require maintenance.

How do you perform daily inspection?

 

Machine instruction manuals have quite a few pages. If you have not read them thoroughly, we hope you recognize the importance of daily inspection anew, and actually perform the inspection by referring to this article.

 
This article explains oil replenishment work, which is performed most frequently.

1:Preparation and merit

(1) As the significance of inspection, it is important for operators to thoroughly understand the functions and performance of the machine for efficient machine operation.

(2)Daily oil replenishment and inspection by operators will help to maintain machine accuracy and service life.

2:Precautions for oil replenishment

(1) Use a dedicated oil jug to prevent mixing with other oils.

(2) Do not remove the filter on the fill port of each tank when supplying oil.

(3) Never use inferior oil, deteriorated oil, and oil contaminated with foreign matter!

(4) Do not mix a different brand oil with the oil in use.

(5) If an undesignated oil is supplied or a different brand oil is mixed, immediately wash the tank and the piping.

3:Lubricant

Check each level gauge. If the oil is insufficient, replenish according to “Table 1-1 Replenishment management table” and “Table 1-2 Recommended oil equivalents”!The spindle, which is the grease sealed type, does not require greasing!

(Note):
(1) When removing covers or caps for inspection or maintenance, clean the surroundings thoroughly to prevent foreign matter such as chips from entering the drive unit.

Failure to do so may result in a breakdown or accident.

(2) Greasing is allowed by the customers. However, ask us the procedurebeforehand.

The bearings, gears, and seals are all lubricated with grease.

(3) If some foreign matter is found in oils such as coolant, make a maintenance request of us.
