Maintenance Tips
-
Hydraulic Fluid & Lines: Regularly check hydraulic oil level, top up, and replace per schedule; inspect hoses, seals, and quick‑connect fittings for leaks or wear to maintain consistent 60‑ton force.
-
Lubrication: Grease ram guides, pivot points, and moving components to reduce friction and wear for smoother pressing operations.
-
PLC & Controls: Keep the programmable logic controller, foot pedal, and wiring clean, dry, and secure; verify function and safety interlocks for repeatable cycles.
-
Frame & Fasteners: Periodically inspect the press frame, work table, bolts, and hardware for tightness or stress cracks to maintain stability.
-
Clean Work Area: Remove metal shavings, dust, and debris from the press, power unit, and hoses to protect the hydraulic system and electrical components.
-
Electrical Safety: Ensure 460 V three‑phase connections and grounding are correct; check emergency stops and interlocks regularly.
-
Portable Power Unit Maintenance: Check motor, pump, and filters on the power unit for wear or blockages to maintain consistent performance.
-
Prevent Corrosion: Store in a dry, ventilated environment and apply light protective coatings to exposed steel when idle.
