Purpose of This Blog on Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1) Importance of Proper Maintenance: As a kind of universally applied high speed high precision machining equipment, XBJ and SXBJ series Edge Milling Machine (Plate Beveling Machine) needs to be operated and maintained carefully from the first day it arrives at customer site;

2) Main Contents: This is the precondition and necessity for good and consistent performance of long time use on Edge Milling Equipment;

3) Topics Covered in This Blog on Plate Edge Milling Equipment:

 In this short blog, we will discuss several critical points needs to be taken attention. The detailed content includes:

• Start on Milling Head of Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine;

• Start on Lubrication System of Sheet Metal Plate Beveling Machine;

• Start on Hydraulic System of Sheet Metal Plate End Milling Machine;

• Establish Service Plan for Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Equipment

A. Start on Milling Head of Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1. Significance of Milling Head in Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1) Milling head is the central working unit in any set of Plate Edge Beveling Machine (Edge Milling Machine);

2) Working condition and performance of milling head is the No.1 factor affecting the overall operation of the End Milling Machine;

3) Milling Head running unit in Wuxi JACK Plate Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.1)

2. Preparation Work on Milling Head in Plate Edge Milling Equipment:

Below are the tips on that should be done before initial running of the Edge Milling Machine:

1) Lubrication: At the completion of installating plate Edge milling Equipment at customer site, and before its official starting, add 30# mechanical oil into spindle box of facing head with the volume of around 12L;

2) Oiling Volume: The specific applied volume is determined with oil index position inside the spindle box of the Edge Milling Machine, to its medium level;

3) Always Monitor: With the first time switching on of plate Edge Milling Machine, observe its running condition, and stop the End Milling Machine immediately if any abnormal conditions to be found, with the emergency stop button on operating pedant of the Edge Milling Machine, which is right next to the milling head on milling carriage; 

4) During power on and running of spindle box in the running period of Edge Milling Machine, be sure not to adjust spindle revolution with its handle, or the gear inside the spindle box may be damaged.

B. Start on Lubrication System of Sheet Metal Plate Beveling Machine:

1. Initial Oiling in Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Equipment: 

1) When and How: After the installation of Edge Milling Machine, and before its power on, add 30# mechanical oil into worm gear reducer which drives elevation mechanism of the Plate Beveling Machine, with the volume of around 1L; 

2) Volume: The specific applied volume is determined with oil index position inside the reducer box: Add to its medium level is fine;

3) Milling Head Lubricating Pump in Wuxi JACK Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Equipment: (Fig.2)

2. Daily Operation on Lubrication in Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Equipment:

1) Shift Begin: Before switching on the sheet metal plate End Milling Machine, need to add 30# mechanical oil into reducer of milling carriage traveling, with the volume of around 4L;

2) The specific applied volume is determined with oil index position inside the reducer box: Please add to its medium level;

3) After adding lubricating oil into reducers of the Edge Milling Machine, please replace the original ex-factory plugs at the oil filling ports with ventilation caps.

C. Start on Hydraulic System of Sheet Metal Plate End Milling Machine:

1. Role of Hydraulic System in Sheet Metal Plate End Milling Machine:

1) Hydraulic system supplies power for series of jobs inside the sheet metal Plate Beveling Machine, including: Pressing workpieces sheet metal firmly into working table of the Plate Edge Beveling Machine during operation;

2) Its proper maintenance has a significant impact on performance level of the Edge Milling Machine;

3) Hydraulic oil pump of Wuxi JACK Sheet Metal Steel Plate End Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.3)

2. Service on Hydraulic System in Sheet Metal Steel Plate Edge Edge Milling Machine:

1) The initial running of the sheet metal plate End Milling Machine calls for adding 46# abrasion proof hydraulic oil of around 160L, into pump station of hydraulic system (Please add oil to the upper middle position of oil index);

2) After 2 months use, these hydraulic oils need to be replaced; 

3) And before adding new oil, please be sure to uncover pump station of the Edge Milling Machine, clean the pump station thoroughly; 

4) After that, regularly replace new oil around every half a year operation of the plate Edge Milling Machine;

3. Energy Accumulator of Hydraulic System in Edge Milling Machine:

1) Position: The energy accumulator of hydraulic system belongs to the specie of pressure vessel;

2) When there exists phenomenon of under pressure, or ill function, be sure to invite professional staff or original manufacture on guidance of trouble shooting;

3) Operator of the Edge Milling Machine do not dismantle it rashly, in case personal injury happens;

4. Critical Factor on Servicing Hydraulic System in Plate Edge Milling Machine: 

1) The No.1 issue with hydraulic system of plate End Milling Machine is contamination control;

2) In daily use and service of the Plate Edge Beveling Machine, be sure to perform the strictest grade of oil contamination practice, involving the full range of oil storage/ adding/ tubes and vents/inspection, etc.

D. Establish Service Plan for Sheet Metal Plate Edge Milling Machine:

1. Last but not least, before official put into use of the sheet metal plate Edge Beveling Machine (Edge Milling Machine), section manager/ maintenance staff/ Operator of the workshop installed with this Edge Milling Equipment need to work together, make a reasonable and tailored tentative service plan for it, and bring it into the TPM(Total Preventive Management) of entire workshop;

2. Outdoors operating and maintenance site of Wuxi JACK SXBJ-18 double heads sheet metal plate Edge Milling Machine: (Fig.4)

3. Continuous Improvement in Operation and Servce on Plate Edge Milling Equipment: 

1) After the first three to six months first time working, revise the service plan of the plate Edge Milling Machine, and upgrade it into official version;

2) And the most important is, enforce the plan strictly and consistently in every day running of the End Milling Machine.
