Any equipment will experience corresponding losses during use, and in order to maintain high performance, it is necessary to regularly maintain and maintain the equipment. The same applies to the use of laser pipe cutting machines. In addition to the maintenance of the equipment bed, the maintenance of the chuck is also extremely important. Next, I will introduce a few tips for maintaining laser pipe cutting machines.
1. The lubrication treatment of the chuck involves regularly applying lubricant to the chuck to ensure that it still has high accuracy during movement. Attention should be paid when lubricating. Improper lubrication may cause the pneumatic chuck to not work properly at low air pressure, weaken clamping force, poor clamping accuracy, abnormal wear or jamming. Therefore, attention should be paid to the correct lubrication operation during lubrication.
2. Use molybdenum disulfide grease, usually in the form of black grease, and inject the grease into the chuck nozzle until the grease overflows from the claw surface or the inner hole of the chuck. If the chuck operates at high speeds for a long time or uses oxygen assisted processing for a long time, more lubrication is required, and the lubrication frequency must be adjusted according to the actual working situation.
3. After completing the processing at regular intervals, it is necessary to use a high-pressure air gun to treat the dust and residue on the chuck itself and the slide. It is recommended to clean the chuck jaws every 3-6 months to maintain a clean surface and provide lubrication. Check all components for cracks and wear, and replace them if they are severely worn. After inspection, lubricate the clamping jaws correctly and install them before use.
4. Special or non-standard workpieces require specific chucks for clamping processing. The standard laser cutting chuck is suitable for symmetrical closed tube types. If it is reluctantly used to clamp irregular or strange workpieces, it can cause chuck abnormalities; If the air supply pressure of the chuck is too high, it will cause the chuck to be under high pressure or even clamp the workpiece after shutdown, which will reduce the lifespan of the chuck and cause problems such as excessive chuck clearance.
5. Rust prevention is another key point in preventing the exposed metal of the chuck from rusting. Rust on the chuck will reduce the clamping force and prevent the workpiece from being clamped, seriously affecting production accuracy and efficiency.
