Neatness: Tools, workpieces, and attachments should be properly arranged; safety guards must be complete; pipelines and wiring should be intact.
Cleanliness: The equipment should be clean inside and out; sliding surfaces, lead screws, gears, and racks should be free of oil stains and damage; no leaks (oil, water, air, or electricity); debris should be cleared.
Lubrication: Oil changes and refills should be timely, using the correct oil grade; oil cans, guns, cups, felts, and wicks should be clean and complete; oil gauges should be clear, and oil passages unobstructed.
Safety: Implement a fixed operator and shift handover system; operators must understand the equipment structure, follow operating procedures, use equipment properly, and maintain it carefully to prevent accidents.
Reducer maintenance can be categorized by:
Time: Daily maintenance and periodic maintenance.
Method: General maintenance, zoned maintenance, and critical equipment maintenance.
Maintenance tasks include inspection, adjustment, lubrication, disassembly, cleaning, repair, and replacement.
Zoned maintenance divides equipment by production area or type, assigning dedicated technicians to work closely with operators. Responsibilities include:
Supervising proper operation and maintenance.
Conducting routine inspections and recording equipment conditions.
Handling minor repairs and ensuring equipment availability and minimal downtime.
Key Practices:
Daily inspections and precision checks with detailed logs.
Special care for precision equipment (e.g., temperature/humidity control, dust/vibration prevention).
Avoid disassembling precision components; leave it to specialists if needed.
Stop equipment immediately if abnormalities occur.
Operate within specified limits (no overloading or misuse).
Use recommended lubricants and cleaning agents; filter oil before use.
Protect idle precision equipment with covers; perform periodic dry runs.
Store accessories and tools properly to prevent rust or damage.
Importance of Lubrication:
Proper lubrication reduces friction, extends lifespan, and prevents rust/overheating. Neglect accelerates wear, increases failures, and degrades performance.
Seepage: Oil traces disappear within 5 minutes after wiping.
Leakage: Visible oil traces/drops reappear within 5 minutes.
Leak Point: One distinct oil trace or drop counts as a single point.
Leak-Free Equipment: No seepage at static joints; no leakage at dynamic joints.
Acceptable: ≤80% leakage-free joints; ≤1 drop/3 minutes at leaking points.
Severe Leakage: ≥3 drops/minute at any point or other critical issues.
General Leakage: Leaks not meeting "severe" criteria.
Compliance: No seepage (static) or leakage (dynamic, except manual-lubricated parts).
By adhering to these guidelines, reducer equipment can operate efficiently with minimal downtime and extended service life.
