How to maintain EDM wire cut machine from BOFENG's blog

EDM wire cut machine is a high-precision cutting equipment, widely used in metal processing, mold manufacturing, aerospace, and other fields. In order to ensure its normal operation and prolong its service life, regular maintenance and maintenance must be carried out. This article will introduce the maintenance and maintenance of EDM wire cut machines from the following aspects.

1. Cleaning and lubrication

The cleaning and lubrication of the EDM wire cut machine is the basis of maintenance and maintenance. During use, a large amount of metal shavings and oil will be generated, which will affect the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, the equipment must be cleaned after each use, including cleaning the workbench, guide rails, sliders, electrode heads, and other components. When cleaning, be careful not to use detergents containing acid and alkali components, so as not to cause damage to the equipment.

In addition, all parts of the EDM wire cut machine need to be lubricated regularly to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. When lubricating, choose the appropriate lubricating oil and lubricate according to the requirements of the equipment manual. The lubricated parts include guide rails, sliders, electrode heads, and other components.

2. Check the electrode tip and filter

The electrode tip of the EDM wire cut machine is one of the most vulnerable parts in the cutting process. Therefore, regularly check the wear of the electrode tip, and replace the severely worn electrode tip in time to ensure the cutting quality. At the same time, the filter screen also needs to be cleaned and replaced regularly to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

3. Check the electrolyte

The electrolyte of the EDM wire cut machine is one of the essential parts of the cutting process. The quality and concentration of the electrolyte directly affect the cutting quality and equipment life. Therefore, regularly check the quality and concentration of the electrolyte, and replace the aging electrolyte in time to ensure the cutting quality and equipment life.

4. Check the power supply and wiring

The power supply and wiring of the EDM wire cut machine are the guarantees for the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, regularly check the connection of the power supply and line to ensure the normal operation of the power supply and line. At the same time, pay attention to the grounding of the equipment to ensure the safe operation of the equipment.

5. Regular maintenance

In addition to the above points, it is also necessary to carry out comprehensive maintenance on the EDM wire cut machine on a regular basis. The maintenance content includes cleaning, lubrication, replacement of worn parts, an inspection of electrolytes, an inspection of the power supply and lines, etc. The maintenance cycle depends on the usage of the equipment and the requirements of the manufacturer, generally every six months or once a year.

In short, the maintenance and maintenance of the EDM wire cut machine is very important, it can not only prolong the service life of the equipment but also improve the working efficiency and cutting accuracy of the equipment. Therefore, the operator should perform regular cleaning, lubrication, inspection, and safety maintenance to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the safety of the operator.
