After completing tasks on the machining center, certain post-work procedures need to be followed to ensure smooth operations and maintain equipment integrity.
Conduct cleanliness procedures: Once the machining center has finished its cutting tasks, it’s essential to promptly clear away any debris, wipe down the machine tool, and maintain cleanliness in both the machine and its surrounding environment.
Inspection and replacement of components: Prioritize checking the oil-wiping plate on the guide rail for any signs of wear and promptly replace it if necessary. Additionally, assess the condition of lubricating oil and coolant, replacing them if they appear cloudy or contaminated. Ensure that the coolant’s water level meets the recommended scale, adding more if needed.
Shutdown protocol: Standardize the shutdown procedure by sequentially turning off the power supply on the machine tool operation panel and the main power supply. Unless specified otherwise, adhere to the principles of returning to zero first, followed by manual, inching, and automatic procedures. Gradually decrease the operating speed from high to low, allowing for 2-3 minutes of low-speed and medium-speed operation without abnormalities before shutting down.
Operational standardization: Avoid knocking, straightening, or adjusting workpieces on the chuck or at the tip. Confirm that both the workpiece and tool are securely clamped before proceeding. Do not dismantle or move safety protection devices on the machine tool arbitrarily. Efficient processing equates to safe processing; thus, the shutdown operation of the machining center must be reasonably standardized to maintain completed processes and prepare for subsequent work.
