Daily Maintenance
Clean the Knife Head
Procedure: Wipe the knife head with a clean cotton cloth to remove any dust or residue.
Clean the Surface of the Machine
Procedure: Use an air gun and a rag to clean the machine’s surface, ensuring there is no dust accumulation.
Check the Drag Chain Slot
Procedure: Ensure the drag chain slot is free of sundries and there is no unusual noise.
Check Operation in X and Y Directions
Procedure: Run the machine without cutting to check for any unusual noises in the X and Y directions.
Clean the X and Y Rails and Add Grease
Procedure: Wipe the rails with a cleaning cloth and apply new grease to ensure smooth operation.
Clean the Cutting Tools
Procedure: Use an alcohol rag to remove any residue from the cutting tools.
Check the Working of Knife Apron and Cutting Tools
Procedure: Before starting work, check whether the knife apron and cutting tools operate normally.
Check the Oil and Water Inside the Air Compressor
Procedure: Adjust the drain screw of the air compressor tank to check and remove any water accumulation.
Check the Total Pressure Value
Procedure: Ensure the standard air pressure is 0.6 Mpa (0.8 Mpa if using a pneumatic knife).
Check the Air Pressure Valve
Procedure: Confirm there is no water inside the air pressure valve.
Check Screws on the Tool Apron and Knife Head
Procedure: Ensure all screws are tight and none are loose or missing.
Clear the Surface of Felt
Procedure: Use an air gun to clean the felt surface, ensuring it is free of sundries and bumps.
Weekly Maintenance
Check the X and Y Origin Sensors
Procedure: Confirm the sensors are tight and free of dust.
Check Bearings Usage Conditions
Procedure: Ensure all bearings are secure and not loose.
Check the Connection of Every Wire
Procedure: Verify that all power wires are connected firmly.
Dust Cleaning Inside the Electrical Box
Procedure: Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from inside the electrical box.
Monthly Maintenance
Check the Synchronous Belt for Wear
Procedure: Confirm the tightness and wear of the synchronous belt to ensure proper function.
Confirm the Usage of Consumables
Procedure: Check all consumables for wear and replace as necessary to maintain optimal machine performance.
Check the Leakage Switch
Procedure: Manually press the leakage switch to verify it provides normal protection.
