Your industrial equipment suffers extensive use and must be properly maintained to continue providing high performance. Once you have found quality CNC machines for your shop or factory, specific processes must be completed at regular intervals to ensure their life and productivity. When working on industrial CNC machines, make sure to take the appropriate safety precautions. Anyone working on a piece of equipment for your business needs to wear protective safety glasses, oil resistant shoes, tight clothing, and have a clean working area around the piece of equipment. After performing maintenance, all components need to be checked for tightness. This should be done prior to testing the functionality of any machine. Do not leave electrical power on unless it is necessary to complete a specific upkeep task.
Used Woodworking Machines: Tips for Maintaining Your Equipment
Used woodworking machines rely on regular maintenance even more so than new equipment. As a device is subjected to use, parts require additional care. If a part must be removed, take the time to ensure all other parts will be safe if left attached. Remove them as well if there is any chance of harm. Extra precaution should be taken if your employees must perform daily maintenance requiring power to be present. All parts require lubrication which can be found in the provided manual. Hydraulic system maintenance requires the power to be off and all pressure to be removed from the lines. Refit all covers before operating the equipment. Employee safety along with device performance depends upon taking the appropriate measures during general upkeep.
There are many common upkeep items required by your used woodworking machines and CNC devices. The voltage, current, oil levels, and clamping mechanisms are highly important. Each should be inspected as well as cleaned regularly. Oil levels need to be filled when low. Clamping devices may require tightening or other repairs over time. Machines need frequent cleaning due to the nature of their use. Dust, grime, and other materials can build up hampering the operation of a device. This can also cause safety hazards to anyone working with or around the equipment. Safety checks include inspecting hydraulic system pressure, clamping pressure, device lubrication, and much more. By ensuring this upkeep is properly handled, each piece of machinery utilized in your facility will last longer as well as provide more consistent performance.
