5.Check the wear condition of the cams, and check whether the installation position is right, and screws are tight
6.Check and correct each yarn feeding mouth position, if there is any damage, change immediately.
7.Check the installation position of each narrowing cam, to ensure that the length of each fabric are the same
Lubricating way, oil and lubrication
1.Lubricating way and oil
(1)Check the dial and cloth rolling machine every day, if the oil less than 2/3, add the oil. Use N10#-N32# machine oil. When half a year maintenance, if there is any oil dust, change immediately.
(2)Check the cylinder base gear every month, add grease, use No.3 lithium lubricating grease
(3)When maintain every half a year, check each transmission bear, add grease, use No.3 lithium lubricating grease.
(4)All the lubrication of knitting components must use knitting oil (including the Injection machine oil), such as the England waker high speed circular knitting machine oil.
2.Lubrication
Know well the oil type and lubricate time of each components, to make sure all the machine can be lubricated in the set time with set oil and set dosage.
Downtime and sealed considerations
Machine’s maintenance and care should be conduct according to half year maintenance procedures, first add lubricating oil in knitting parts, then join the antirust oil on knitting needle, at last covered the machine with tarp which had soak in needle oil and sealed in dry and clean place.
The storage of machinery accessories and spare parts
For common-used and quick-wear part, the normal reserve is an important guarantee of production continuity. The storage environment should be cool, dry and little difference in temperature, regular checking is also necessary.
Storage method is as follows:
1.The storage of the cylinder needle and needle dial
First clean the cylinder needle, and then put it into the wooden box which had put in machine oil and with an oil cloth wrap, in order to avoid bumping and deformation. When using use the compressed air to remove the machine oil inside the cylinder needle, then add needle oil.
2.The storage of cams
Classification the cams and put in storage, which had storage in the box and add antirust oil to avoid rust.
3.The storage of knitting needle
(1)The new knitting needle should be placed in the original packing box, and do not remove the seal.
(2)The old knitting needle must be clean, check, pick out the damaged, classification them and put in storage with the needle oil to avoid rust.
Maintenance of electrical parts
1.The importance of maintenance
The knitting machine circuit contains precision electronic component——inverter. In practical applications, because of the surrounding temperature, humidity, vibration, dust, corrosive gases and other environmental factors, the reliability and service life of the inverter will be badly affected. If maintained properly, not only to ensure reliability but also to extend the service life, and will reduce the production losses caused by the occasional failure. Therefore, regular maintenance of the inverter and peripheral circuits is necessary.
2.Check of the inverter and peripheral circuits
For a running work inverter and control circuits, usually should make the following checks:
(1)Environment temperature: Normal in general - 10 ℃ ~ + 40 ℃ range, at 25 ℃ or so as well.
(2)The inverter input voltage: the normal range is 380V±10%.
(3)Regular cleaning the fly down, dust in the control box to maintain the electric box internal clean, suggested that clean up once a day after shift change.
(4)Oil will speed up the aging wires, if the electrical box inside accidentally into the oil, please cleans up in time.
(5)Regularly check the exhaust fan of electrical box, if damaged please replaced in time, to ensure that the electric box’s internal temperature is not too high.
3.Regular inspection
Using the annual equipment overhaul time, and put the inspection focus on the inverter internal bit.
(1)When doing regular maintenance, must cut off the power before operation until the DC bus power indicator of the inverter is off, usually more than one minute (the larger capacity of the inverter, the longer waiting time), and then carry out the operation.
(2)Dismantle the outside cover of the inverter, vacuuming the inverter circuit board and internal IGBT modules, input and output terminals and other parts. Use cotton cloth with some special cleaning agents to erase the dirty places on the circuit board.
(3)Check the internal lead wire insulation of inverter for whether has corrosion or broken traces, once found should be treated or replaced promptly.
(4)Due to vibration, temperature changes and other effects, some clamping units of the inverter such as screw always become flexible, should tighten all of the screw again.
(5)Check and find whether the input and output reactors, transformers, etc. is overheating, leakage, defective insulation, change color and burnt or have odor.
(6)Check whether the intermediate DC circuit filtering electrolytic capacitor’s capacity and charge-discharge performance is good, whether the appearance has cracks, leakage, swelling, etc., the filter capacitor service life is 5 years, the longest examination period is one year, and after five years please replaces it.
(7)Check whether cooling fan operation is in good condition, if find abnormal noise, abnormal vibration should be replaced immediately. Otherwise the inverter will overheat, and effect the operation life of the inverter. The replacement cycle of fan is generally 2-3 years.
(8)Check the insulation resistance of the inverter whether is in the normal range (All terminals and earth terminal), Note that you cannot use the megameter to measure the circuit board, otherwise it will damage the electronic components of circuit board.
(9)Disconnect the cable of R, S, T inverter terminal with the power end, disconnect the cable of U, V, W inverter terminal with the motor end, measure the insulation between each phase conductor of cable and protecting grounding with megameter whether meet requirement, in normal should be great than 1MΩ.
(10)Before put the inverter into operation which maintenance is completed, the inverter should idle load with motor and test run a few minutes, confirm the rotation direction of motor.
