Basic Machine Maintenance Guide - Ai0078
1. Introduction
This guide provides basic instructions on how to perform routine maintenance on industrial
machines to ensure their longevity and proper function. Regular maintenance is essential to avoid
unexpected downtime and ensure optimal performance.
• Check Oil Levels: Ensure that all lubrication points are properly filled with oil. Lack of
lubrication can cause machine parts to wear down more quickly.
• Clean Surfaces: Wipe down all external surfaces to remove dust and debris. This
prevents dust from entering sensitive parts of the machine.
• Inspect Belts and Pulleys: Make sure all belts are properly tensioned and free from
cracks. Replace any belts that show signs of wear.
• Check Coolant Levels: Ensure that coolant is at the proper level. Coolant helps prevent
the machine from overheating during operation.
• Inspect Bearings: Ensure all bearings are properly lubricated and in good working
condition.
• Check Electrical Connections: Look for any loose or frayed wires that could pose a risk
of short-circuiting.
• Test Emergency Stop: Verify that the emergency stop button is working correctly. This
is a critical safety feature.
4. Monthly Maintenance
• Calibrate Sensors: Ensure all sensors are calibrated to provide accurate readings.
Incorrect sensor data could lead to machine malfunction.
• Tighten Loose Bolts: Check all bolts and screws to make sure they are properly
tightened. Loose bolts can cause machine parts to misalign or vibrate excessively.
• Always turn off and disconnect the machine from the power supply before performing
any maintenance tasks.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and safety
goggles, when working with machines.
• Ensure that all machine guards and safety features are in place before restarting the
machine.
