One of the most common ways to damage a machine is by neglecting to perform preventative maintenance. Our goal is to prevent this damage to cease unknown damage already occurring.
Over time machines wear down. The first way is being normal wear. Machines are being used consistently and get dirty or develop other minor issues. The next factor is premature wear from lack of maintenance. This is the most preventable issue for machines perform maintenance regularly. The final factor is premature wear from not taking care of the machine.
We suggest getting your machine inspected every year, however your maintenance book will suggest how often you should get an inspection based on how many hours the machine is ran each year. All of these issues can be completely avoided by performing regular preventative maintenance.
Preventative maintenance can include (but is not limited to) the following:
-
Change fluids
-
Clean filters
-
Check alignments
-
Check automatic tool changer alignments
-
Ensure full bearing and accurate alignment
-
Apply Turcite, Moglice, or Phenolic
-
Replace Lubrication for longevity of the ways surfaces
-
Final testing and inspection
-
Test run to new machine standards
