The waterjet cutting machine is a kind of precise equipment, so the requirements for the operators are also relatively high. The operator must be professionally trained and master the operation skills of the equipment. Before the waterjet cutting machine is officially put into operation, we must ensure that there is no interference from the outside world. As we all know, the waterjet cutting machine can cut a wide range of materials, but it should be noted that the material being cut cannot exceed the specified cutting range. The maintenance of the waterjet cutting machine should be carried out regularly, which can be divided into daily, weekly, and monthly.

1. Daily Maintenance

Relevant operators should clean the waterjet cutting machine every day after working to keep the machine tool and guide rails clean. Remember to check and ensure the power supply and air source are turned off. If there is residual air in the pipe belt of the waterjet cutting machine, please make sure it is emptied. The operators should turn off the power if the waterjet cutting machine will not be used for a long time. Pay attention to keep the lubricating degree of the horizontal guide rails, vertical guide rails, and the rack surface.

1.1 Cleaning

50. Guide Rails and Machine Tool: Wipe down all surfaces to remove dust, debris, and any cutting residues.
50. Work Area: Ensure the surrounding area is free from obstructions and debris that might interfere with operation.

1.2 Lubrication

50. Horizontal Guide Rails: Apply the appropriate lubricant to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
50. Vertical Guide Rails and Rack Surface: Regularly check for proper lubrication and apply as necessary to prevent wear.

1.3 System Checks

50. Power Supply and Air Source: Ensure both are turned off after use to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.
50. Residual Air: Empty any remaining air in the pipes to avoid pressure build-up and potential damage.

2. Weekly Maintenance

Make a summary of daily maintenance. Sometimes the signs of damage caused by some factors are not easy to find, so please check the cutting head to make sure it is not worn or damaged. Pay attention to observe the water flow from the gem nozzle and the consumable parts of the sand conveying system. If the waterjet cutting machine parts are abnormal, they must be replaced with new ones in time.

2.1 Detailed Inspections

50. Cutting Head: Examine for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain precision.
50. Gem Nozzle: Ensure the water flow is consistent and unobstructed. Clean or replace the nozzle if there are irregularities.

2.2 Consumable Parts

50. Sand Conveying System: Check for wear in the parts and replace consumables like nozzles and hoses as needed to ensure efficient operation.

2.3 Summary Report

50. Maintenance Log: Record all maintenance activities performed, including any parts replaced or issues observed, to track the machine’s condition over time.

3. Monthly Maintenance

It is a summary of the daily and weekly maintenance work of the waterjet cutting machine. Carry out a complete inspection of the entire equipment, and no spare parts should be missed.

 

3.1 Comprehensive Inspection

50. Entire Equipment: Inspect all components, including electrical systems, plumbing, and mechanical parts, for signs of wear, damage, or potential failure.

3.2 Calibration and Adjustment

50. Precision Check: Ensure the machine is cutting accurately by performing test cuts and making any necessary adjustments.
50. Alignment: Verify the alignment of the cutting head and guide rails to ensure they meet operational standards.

3.3 Replacement and Upgrades

50. Spare Parts: Replace any worn or damaged parts that were noted during daily and weekly inspections.
50. System Upgrades: Check for any available software or firmware updates that could improve performance or add new features.

3.4 Documentation

50. Maintenance Records: Update the maintenance log with detailed reports of the monthly inspection, including any corrective actions taken.
50. Review Reports: Regularly review the maintenance records to identify recurring issues and address them proactively.

 

By adhering to this comprehensive maintenance schedule, the waterjet cutting machine can operate at peak efficiency and longevity, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
