Orientation
Due to different requirements and/or specifications of the respective
manufacturers, be sure to review the respective manufacturer's
documentation!
To ensure a smooth production process, the chip conveyor should be cleaned and
serviced regularly.
With regular cleaning, any defects can be detected and corrected early. Thus,
prolonged downtime due to repair work can be reduced to a minimum.
The chip conveyor is used for removal of swarf from the work area and is also a
reservoir for the cooling lubricant. The cooling lubricant is filtered in the chip
conveyor. For this purpose, various filters and filter plates are built into the chip
conveyor. These filters must be cleaned regularly. In particular, make sure that the
area around the cooling lubricant pump(s) is always free of chips or dirt.
For all work in connection with operating materials, the information in
the data sheets of the respective manufacturers and the information
in the document Notes on Operating Materials must be observed.
Requirement
Be sure to interrupt the motion of the conveyor belt by opening
the work area door or switching off the chip conveyor before
commencing cleaning work around the discharge chute!
The conveyor belt can only move when the chip conveyor is switched
on and the work area door is closed.
Procedure
1.
Service and maintenance are to be carried out according to the
manufacturer’s specifications.
Clean the chip conveyor.
2. Clean the discharge chute. Pay particular attention to chip build-up and
remove them around the discharge chute. Chip build-up can accumulate in
the area of the drive roller so that it can become compacted, causing damage
to the conveyor belt including the drive shaft.
3. Check the wipers at the discharge chute and the inlet port.
4. Visual inspection of brush-off device (option).
