I. Equipment Inspection System
Equipment maintenance personnel should strictly implement the regular comprehensive inspection system and formulate scientific and reasonable long-term inspection plans. Through systematic inspection of equipment status, equipment failures can be effectively prevented, production continuity can be ensured, and economic losses and production delays caused by unexpected equipment downtime can be avoided.
II. Operation Monitoring of Linear Guides
(1) Routine Monitoring
Since not all mechanical equipment is compatible with advanced monitoring instruments, equipment operators and mechanical designers need to undertake the work of signal monitoring of the operation status of the Linear Guide Rail. During daily operation, the operational status of the linear guide rail system can be preliminarily judged through sensory systems such as hearing and touch. Specifically, it includes the monitoring of indicators such as operating sound, surface temperature, and vibration frequency. This sensory-based monitoring method is simple to operate and suitable for daily inspections.
(2) Professional Monitoring
Professional operators can use tools such as electronic stethoscopes to accurately analyze the operating sound of linear guides. Under normal operating conditions, the sound generated by linear guides and rails is stable and has a relatively low volume. Suppose sharp or abnormal noises occur during operation. In that case, it indicates that the operation of the linear motion rails is abnormal, and the cause of the fault needs to be investigated promptly.
III. Common Fault Handling
Abnormal operation of linear guide assemblies is mostly caused by insufficient lubrication. When abnormal conditions such as abnormal sounds occur, maintenance personnel should promptly lubricate the rail guides, replenish or replace the lubricating oil to ensure that the precision linear rails are in a good lubrication state and maintain the stable operation of the equipment.
