Care and maintenance of aluminum die casting

Nov 18, 2024

‌Maintenance and maintenance of aluminum die-casting equipment‌ is of great significance to ensure production efficiency, improve product quality and ensure production safety. The following are specific suggestions for the maintenance and maintenance of aluminum die-casting workshop equipment:

‌Regular inspection of equipment‌: Regular inspection is the basic work of equipment maintenance. A detailed inspection plan should be formulated to conduct a comprehensive inspection of key equipment such as die-casting machines, melting furnaces, and molds. The inspection content includes the fastening of the equipment, lubrication system, electrical system, and safety protection devices. Through regular inspections, potential safety hazards can be discovered and resolved in a timely manner to ensure the normal operation of the equipment‌.

‌Keep the equipment clean‌: The environment of the aluminum die-casting workshop is harsh, and the equipment is easily contaminated with impurities such as dust and oil. Therefore, it is very important to keep the equipment clean. The dirt on the surface and inside of the equipment should be cleaned regularly to avoid wear and corrosion of the equipment by impurities. Clean equipment can also improve production efficiency and product quality‌.

‌Replace worn parts in time‌: During the long-term operation of the equipment, parts wear will inevitably occur. In order to ensure the performance and accuracy of the equipment, worn parts such as the punch of the die-casting machine and the wearing parts of the mold should be discovered and replaced in time. This can extend the service life of the equipment, ensure the stability of production and the consistency of products.

‌Strengthen equipment lubrication management: The lubrication system is a key part of the normal operation of the equipment. Appropriate lubricants should be selected and lubrication operations should be performed according to the prescribed lubrication cycle. At the same time, the oil level, oil quality and sealing performance of the lubrication system should be checked regularly to ensure good lubrication effect and reduce equipment wear and failure rate.

‌Establish a complete maintenance record system: Establishing a complete equipment maintenance record system is of great significance for tracking the operating status of the equipment, predicting potential problems and formulating reasonable maintenance plans. The time, content, maintenance personnel and other information of each maintenance should be recorded in detail for subsequent analysis and improvement.

‌Strict training for operators: Operators must undergo strict pre-job training before they can operate die-casting equipment. Effective operating procedures and maintenance management systems must be formulated, and professional personnel are responsible for implementation and management. Operators should regularly clean up debris on the machine and dust and dirt on the sliding surface, check the liquid level and pipeline in the hydraulic oil tank for leakage, and check whether the pressure gauge indication is normal.

‌Maintaining aluminum alloy die-casting molds‌: Remove impurities from the die-casting molds, ensure that the guide rails, sliders, concave molds, cores, exhaust systems, etc. are clean and the exhaust pipes are smooth. Clean the oil stains on the molds and cooling water pipes, and repair or replace the cores with bends, cracks, and breaks. Regularly check the use of the molds, clean and lubricate them in time to ensure the normal operation of the molds.
