Proper maintenance of machinery and tools increases their functionality and useful life. In fact, one of the important things in machines and tools is their basic maintenance and service. Engine checkup, parts and connections, consumables, etc. are all very important and should be considered in periodic services.
1. Regular maintenance program of woodworking machinery
Many people don't have a specific written program for car maintenance and they wait until the machine breaks down and then they remember to repair it or change a part of it. The important thing is that if you have a regular program for the maintenance of your machinery and tools from the beginning, you will never be surprised. The program you consider for the maintenance and repair of woodworking machinery should be proportional to the amount of use. For example, if you use a machine for 8 hours a day, you should service it once every 6 months, but if the same If you use the car more, you should check it every 3 months or sooner and repair it if necessary. In general, the more the use, the checking and servicing of the machines should be done at shorter intervals.
2. Cleaning of woodworking machinery
Keeping woodworking machinery clean in a dirty and dusty environment does not seem logical. It goes without saying that the accumulation of sawdust is dangerous because it is harmful to the body and may even lead to fire and damage to carpenters and machines. To prevent the above cases, you should always include cleaning and collecting sawdust in your plans. If the saw dust is not collected properly, it will cause the machine to fail in the long run. Of course, it goes without saying that even the best sawdust collection systems cannot collect all the sawdust inside the carpentry workshop. To keep the devices clean, first sweep the sawdust, then vacuum the rest. Do not use a blower for cleaning because when the fine particles are blown into the machinery, they cause more damage to the machine. With a vacuum cleaner, suspended dust particles are reduced and this is also better for lung health. Cleaning the device with a brush is also a good method, but it is not a good method for the bottom of the device or parts that are difficult to access. To avoid the risk of electric shock, make sure that the power is turned off.
In addition to sawdust, dust, oil and grease left inside the woodworking machines, they must be cleaned before oiling, and we need solvents to clean them. Environmentally friendly products such as citrus-based solvents are effective and efficient for most devices. Dip a brush in solvent and remove the grease. Use nylon, brass or steel brushes for this. Nylon and brass can be used on surfaces without causing any scratches or damage, but more care should be taken when using steel brushes, although they have more cleaning capabilities.
3. The correct way to maintain woodworking machinery
The maintenance and service of each car is different and must be followed. For example, oil for the engine is like blood for the body. In case of incorrect lubrication, grease and dirt accumulate in the machine and in the long run it disrupts the movement of the gears and other components and eventually causes serious damage to the machine. Also, the moving parts of the machines must be well lubricated to prevent excessive pressure on the engine and damage caused by it. Therefore, it is better to check the oil level of the machinery regularly (for example, once a week). If you do not know how to lubricate machines, it is better to get help from experts in this field.
The main function of some machines is cutting, shredding or shredding. The main parts of the machines used for this purpose must always be sharp. If the main components of these machines, which are mostly blades, drills and cutters, are well maintained and sharp, they make accurate and correct cuts on the work, but if they are slow, they cannot do their job properly and ultimately affect the work piece, and the result may be Don't get what you want.
Broken connections or messed up device settings are things that no one wants to happen. Messing up the settings of the device affects the work result and sometimes ruins it. To check the settings of the device, it is enough to perform some simple tests and check the results to make sure that the device is set. If the settings of the device are messed up, you should adjust it again to get the desired result.
We assume that the device is completely clean and lubricated; Now the device should be calibrated. Each workshop should have specific instructions for calibrating the devices. Whatever tool you use for calibration, you need to make sure that everyone uses the same method to calibrate the devices. Most people's question is, how often should the device be calibrated? In home workshops, it is possible to continue working without calibration for months, but larger and multi-user workshops require more frequent calibrations. Another important point is the correct classification and classification of tools. Failure to properly categorize woodworking tools and accessories may cause them to be lost or even damaged. On the other hand, leaving the tools on the ground causes dust and pollution to penetrate into the engine and causes the efficiency of the device to decrease over time, so it is better to use shelves to organize and organize carpentry tools and equipment. br>
4. Provision of necessary parts and accessories
No one wants their device to be damaged due to carelessness. One of the points that is important for the maintenance of machinery is the control of all parts and accessories of the machine. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure of the correct functioning and correct positioning of the components. In this case, you can get help from your five senses and recognize possible problems. Strange sounds or smells or strange vibrations can be signs of a problem with the device. Some defects can be easily repaired if they are detected early. Ask the technician or specialist to provide you with the list of parts for each device separately. Of course, you don't need to get all the parts on the list, just buy some of them that are most needed and necessary. Buying parts in bulk is cheaper for you.
5. Staff training
Try to spend time on employee training so that professional woodworking machine repairers teach employees how to repair and maintain the machines. It is better for the employees to stand next to them, see their work and ask questions when the repairman is repairing the machinery. With this work, over time, employees can solve simple problems by themselves and if they do not solve the problem themselves, the repairman can be contacted. The user uses the tool correctly and does not put too much pressure on it; In this way, the lifespan of the tools is also increased and you don't need to spend money and get new tools.
6. Woodworking machinery service and repair report
Formulating a regular schedule for machine service based on the amount of their use is of particular importance, but more important than that, recording the action report has been done. These details are not only limited to the service date, but the detailed information and details of the repairs done on the car and the parts that have been replaced must be stated in detail. This checklist clearly shows what points employees need to pay more attention to.
