"The rails were just fitted and ran quite well, how come they're stuck as tractors after six months of use?"- - Don't worry! Understand these 5 practical skills, the guide life can be stretched for 5 years is not blowing. Seriously, maintenance guide rail is like car maintenance, hard to wipe oil, less spoiled, it is willing to give you life work!
First, lubrication do not fool around: oil selection error = dry for nothing!
"Lube up just about anything?" --Big mistake!Grease on the rail? A high temperature bake directly into slag, slider hard grinding a month quasi scrapped. Teach you three strokes to avoid pit:
- Pick oil by temperatureWorkshop: Workshop over 80℃? Must use high temperature chain oil (don't save this money); room temperature workshop with lithium grease, viscosity choose ISO VG100-150.
- Come on, look at the way it's done.: Dislike the nozzle of the grease gun to the grease filling hole and slowly squeeze until the grease slightly overflows-More ash absorption, less dry grinding, 0.1-0.3mm thickness is just right.
- Cycles look at intensity::
- Three shifts on the production line.1 per month(500 hours)
- Occasional power-on devices.1 in three monthsDon't be lazy.
ask and answer questions for oneself: Are maintenance-free rails really a no-brainer?
Fooling around! Even the best coatings can't hold up to metal shavings and scratches.Quarterly ash cleaning + oil replenishmentIt's the bottom line.
Second, clear the dust to be ruthless: dust = invisible sandpaper
"Just wipe down the surface of the rails?" --Iron dust in the grooves is the killer!Ever seen an electronics factory guide rail glued to a brush with metal powder? Slider a push crunching, precision directly collapse. This is the only way to do it thoroughly:
- Three-piece tool set: Soft brush to sweep floating dust → non-woven cloth dipped in alcohol to wipe the sludge → air gun to blow the dead corner of the trench (air pressure ≤ 0.3MPa)
- Dustproofing plus buffs::
matrix Dust control programme effect Welding/grinding area wrap (sth in a bag)Labyrinth Seal Ash retention rate >80% Food/Pharmaceutical Workshop plusStainless steel scraper Corrosion resistant + easy to clean
A case of blood and tears: An auto parts factory lazy clean grey, chain guide jammed downtime for 3 days, the light of the loss of production downtime enough to change 5 new guide!
Third, adjust the gap hand to be stable: 0.1mm fixed life and death
"Can't the screws be tightened?" --Slider deforms in minutes to show you!The guide rail is mounted crookedly? If it's light, it will vibrate, if it's heavy, the ball will crackle and fall. Three steps to save your life:
- Plug gauge to measure clearance: Slider and guideway seam ≤ 0.03mm (over immediately adjust the pre-pressure screw)
- Hit the meter and look at the parallel: On the micrometer top slide, push the full length of theStainless steel pad for levelling deviation >0.02mm.
- Lock Screw Metaphysics: Screw in diagonal order (don't use an electric spanner!) : in diagonal order (don't use an electric spanner!)Twist three times to loosen half a turnstress relief
Fourth, the environment to keep an eye on: moisture = rust fast-forward button
"What can I do about high humidity in the workshop?" --Anti-rust oil + energised double insurance!Especially the yellow plum day, the rail overnight long "freckles" is not scare you. So carry:
- short-term suspension: Rail CoatingWD-40 Antirust OilWrapped Dustproof Film
- lying idle for a long time::
- Power up and run on empty for 10 minutes per month (to repel moisture)
- Put desiccant in the warehouse (humidity pressure below 45%)
- Helpful Hints: Sweaty hands touching the rail? Rapidly rub it with alcohol! Sweat and rust are worse than rain!
V. Early warning to be sensitive: abnormal noise = end-of-life call for help
"A little noise is normal?" --Waiting for the slider to crumble before it's too late to cry!Teach you to listen to the sound to identify faults:
- squeak: oil shortage, lubricate quickly
- clank: Loose chain or broken ball (stop and check!)
- (onom.) clunking sound: guide rail indentation deformation, micrometer a quasi exceeded the standard
personal storm theory:: Prepare aVibration sensorsStick to the side of the rail, the vibration value exceeds 5μm/s² immediately alarm - more than the teacher's ear!
A final word of truth.
Don't believe in "imported rails do not need to maintain" nonsense! We have followed 50 production lines.Diligent maintenance of domestic rails with 8 years no problem, blind manufacturing of imported goods as usual 2 years on the floor!.. The point is not how expensive, butSpend 10 minutes on weekly inspections + do monthly deep maintenance. The money saved on repairs is enough to give half a year's bonus to the brothers on the production line!
Data corroboration:: Industry Report 2023 shows thatAdhere to the five tips of the factory, the guideway failure rate straight down 67%. You fine - maintenance is not a cost, it's a solid investment!
