In the modern electronic manufacturing industry, the stable operation of SMT (Surface Mount Technology) equipment is directly related to production efficiency and product quality. How can we extend the service life of the equipment and reduce the failure rate through a standardized daily maintenance process? Today, taking the practical experience of PCBGOGO as an example, we will share some practical maintenance tips.
1. Pre - startup Inspection Every Day
Before starting the equipment, the operator needs to check whether the air pressure is stable, whether the guide rails are clean, and confirm that the suction nozzles are not blocked. The technical team at PCBGOGO especially emphasizes that the daily inspection can effectively avoid sudden failures caused by the accumulation of minor problems.
2. Regular Cleaning and Lubrication
The high - precision characteristics of SMT equipment require that the key components (such as lead screws and guide rails) must be kept clean and lubricated. PCBGOGO recommends using a special cleaner to wipe the tracks every week and replenishing the grease once a month to ensure the smooth operation of the equipment.
3. Software and Calibration Management
Regular updates and calibrations of the equipment software are equally important. The engineers at PCBGOGO have found that many placement deviation problems are due to the failure to calibrate the vision system in time or the neglect of software patches. It is recommended to conduct a comprehensive calibration every quarter and pay attention to the updates released by the manufacturer.
Through the standardized maintenance process, PCBGOGO has successfully reduced the equipment failure rate by 30% and significantly improved the production efficiency. We hope that these experiences can inspire our peers!
