What are the performance characteristics of vertical machining centers?
As machining becomes increasingly common in our practical applications, do you know what performance characteristics vertical machining centers have?
1. It can reduce the number of clamping times of workpieces in the machining center, eliminate positioning errors caused by repeated clamping, and improve machining accuracy.
2. Machining centers can correspondingly reduce the number of machine tools and operators, save floor space, simplify production plans and arrangements.
3. It can actively perform drilling, milling, reaming, reaming, boring, tapping and other processes on each machining surface of the workpiece, with highly concentrated processes.
4. Because the machining accuracy of the machining center products has good universality and the quality is relatively stable, the inspection workload is small. Generally, only the beginning and end parts need to be inspected, and middle sampling is sufficient.
5. The entire processing process is actively controlled by the program, reducing the involvement of human factors and ensuring relatively stable product quality.
Therefore, in our practical applications, it is very important to master these characteristics, which can enable us to better use vertical machining centers.
Daily maintenance of vertical machining centers?
Vertical machining centers play a very important role in our practical applications, so the daily maintenance of vertical machining centers is also very important.
The daily maintenance of vertical machining centers is mainly carried out by operators:
(1) Clean and lubricate the equipment before starting it.
(2) When using equipment, it is necessary to strictly follow the operating procedures, monitor and inspect the operation of the equipment in a timely manner, and promptly eliminate faults.
(3) After using the equipment, wipe and lubricate the sliding rail surface, and regularly clean the lubrication system and equipment surface.
Vertical machining centers generally run for 3600-4500 hours, or two shifts of continuous production equipment run once every 12-15 months. Forging and lifting equipment generally run for 2700-3600 hours, or two shifts of continuous production equipment run once every 9-12 months. Maintenance should be mainly carried out by maintenance personnel with the participation of operators.
Other maintenance tasks mainly include:
(1) Clean, inspect, and adjust electrical components.
(2) Clean the lubrication system, replace the lubricating oil, and clean the cooling system.
(3) Check the technical condition and facilities of the equipment, adjust any gaps, troubleshoot, and eliminate potential hazards.
(4) Repair and replace necessary worn parts or scrape off necessary worn parts.
(5) Clean up oil, gas, and water leaks from the equipment.
(6) Make the equipment reliable, operate normally, and meet the standard of equipment integrity.
Therefore, in the use of vertical machining centers, it is very important to apply these elements so that we can better use the vertical machining center.
