Key points for daily maintenance of non-standard automation equipment

Many bosses think that once the equipment is installed, adjusted, and running smoothly, everything will be fine.


Actually, what truly determines whether a device lasts for three years or eight years is how you treat it after purchasing it.



I.Do these few things every day



 Check whether the barometer meets the requirements


Check whether the air pressure gauge meets the equipment design requirements. If the pressure is below the lower limit, it may lead to incomplete cutting and poor welding, resulting in a large number of scrap products. Additionally, hard collisions between molds can easily cause damage.




 Check for any abnormal operating noise


If there are non-periodic impacts or sharp friction noises, the source of the sound can be located and inspections of bearings, gears, and transmission belts can be conducted to troubleshoot.



 Check for overheating


After continuous operation, it is normal for motors, bearings, and slide rails to become slightly hot. However, if the temperature rises too high, it is necessary to shut down the equipment for inspection.



 Clear away the waste materials and dust


Especially for masks and non-woven equipment, flying catkins and debris are prone to accumulate on photoelectric sensors and slide rails. Use an air gun to blow them off, and avoid wiping the live parts with a damp cloth. (Note: Clean after the machine has stopped.)


These few tasks, if made a habit for operators to perform every day before closing or starting the machine, can greatly reduce the probability of equipment malfunctions.



II. Perform these "minor maintenance" tasks once a week


Secure the exposed screws

After a week, some screws of covers, brackets, and limit blocks may become loose. Tightening them one by one with a wrench can effectively avoid major problems.



Clean the photoelectric sensor

Dust covering the photoelectric sensor can lead to issues such as "no feeding", "non-stop machine", and "random alarms". Use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to gently wipe the mirror surface, and avoid scratching with hard objects.


Inspect the trachea and connectors


Air leaks in the pneumatic circuit will reduce pressure, causing the equipment to become "sluggish". Check for any air leaks. If present, replace the connector or trim off a section and re-insert it.



Regularly apply lubricating grease to the guide rail and screw rod

Regularly applying a small amount of lubricating grease to the guide rails and screw rods can effectively prevent issues such as dry friction, large gaps, and reduced precision in sliding components.



III. Conduct a deep inspection once a month/quarter



Check the wear of molds and cutting knives

The shaping mold for cup-type masks, the rolling cutter for flat masks, and the die-cutting mold for mosquito repellent patches - these are consumable parts. Visually inspect the cutting edges for dullness and any signs of notch wear.



Check the tension of belts and chains

If the conveyor belt is loose, it may slip and deviate; if the chain is loose, it may skip teeth and get stuck. Press the middle position with your finger, and it is normal to sink 1-2 centimeters. If it is too loose, tighten it.

Test safety device

Regularly check whether the equipment stops immediately when the emergency stop button is pressed, and whether the machine automatically shuts down when the safety door is opened.


Clean the dust from the electric control box

Use a vacuum cleaner or air gun (low pressure) to clean the dust inside the electrical box to prevent short circuits or poor heat dissipation. Note: The operation must be carried out with the power off.



IV. What behaviors should you absolutely avoid?



❌ He reached out to clean the waste material while the machine was still running

——Not only is it dangerous, but it is also prone to skewing sensors and damaging molds. First, stop the machine, then clean it.


❌ Production continues despite insufficient air pressure

——This will lead to incomplete cutting and poor welding, resulting in a large number of scrap products, and the molds are prone to damage when they collide hard against each other. If the value is lower than the set value, pause and check the air path.


❌ Never record faults

——If something goes wrong once, it is forgotten once it is fixed. The same problem will occur again next time. It is recommended to keep a fault record, including the time of the fault, the phenomenon, the person who handled it, and what parts were replaced.


❌ Using inferior spare parts

——Inferior accessories have a short lifespan and can lead to more downtime and scrap products. For critical spare parts, it is recommended to use the models recommended by the manufacturer.
