In the SMD production line, regular maintenance of equipment is to ensure efficient production, product quality and stability of the key link. In this article, we will discuss the regular maintenance requirements of SMT mounter, to help PCBA processing plant to enhance the level of equipment management.
I. The development and implementation of a detailed maintenance program
1. Regular maintenance program
According to the use of equipment and manufacturer’s recommendations, develop a detailed daily/weekly/monthly/yearly maintenance plan, and strictly enforced. Maintenance program should cover all aspects of the equipment, including but not limited to the electrical system, mechanical components, air system.
2. Implementation of the maintenance program
Maintenance program should be comprehensive and detailed, including cleaning, lubrication, check the electrical system, calibration and other aspects.
For example, clean the dust and debris on the surface of the equipment every day, and check whether the parts are working properly.
Weekly check and clean the heating part and vacuum part of the equipment.
Monthly in-depth inspection and maintenance of the overall operation of the equipment.
II. The regular inspection and replacement of key components
1. Management of wearing parts
For the perishable parts of the SMT pick and place machine, such as SMT suction nozzles, cylinders, filters, seals, etc., we should regularly check their wear and tear, and replace them in time when they are found to be worn or damaged. Although these parts are small, they have an important influence on the stable operation of the equipment and product quality.
2. Electrical system check
Regularly check the electrical system of the SMT pick and place machine, including power supply, cable, sensors, etc., to ensure its normal operation. The stability of the electrical system is the basis for the efficient operation of the equipment.
III. Environmental control and safety management
1. Environmental control
Ensure that the operating environment is clean, tidy and dust-free, and the temperature and humidity are controlled within a suitable range (generally the temperature is kept at 20-26℃ and the relative humidity is 40%-70%). Good environmental control helps to extend the service life of the equipment and reduce the failure rate.
2. Safety facilities check
Regularly check the safety facilities of the equipment, such as emergency stop switches, safety gates, anti-electric shock protection devices, etc. whether they work properly. Safety facilities are an important line of defense to ensure production safety.
IV. Operator training and skills assessment
1. Systematic skill training
Operators should receive systematic skills training and master equipment operation skills. This not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces equipment damage or production accidents caused by misuse.
2. Regular skill assessment
Regular skill assessment for operators to ensure that they have the ability to operate the SMT pick and place machine and quality. Skills assessment is an effective means to ensure that the operator’s skills continue to improve.
V. Equipment accuracy and software update
1. Regular calibration
Due to the long time running of pick and place machine, the wear and tear of parts, deformation, aging and other problems may lead to a decline in the accuracy of the equipment. Therefore, regular calibration of equipment to ensure that its accuracy meets the production requirements, is necessary to improve product quality.
2. Software update
With the development of technology, the control system of the pick and place machine may introduce new software versions. Regularly check and update the software to improve equipment performance and stability. Software update is an important way to keep the equipment advanced.
VI. Inspection and record
1. Regular inspection
In the production process, we should regularly inspect the mounter, check the equipment operating conditions, timely detection and resolution of problems. Inspection is to prevent equipment failure, to ensure the smooth progress of production of effective means.
2. Establish maintenance records
The establishment of maintenance records, record each maintenance time, content, found the problem and treatment measures. Maintenance records help to track the management of equipment, improve the scientific and standardized equipment management.
Summarize
Regular maintenance of SMT equipment is a systematic project that requires comprehensive consideration of cleaning and maintenance, periodic inspection and calibration, maintenance planning and implementation, wear parts management, safety management, operator training, inspection and records, as well as software and program management and other aspects.
Through the implementation of these maintenance management skills, you can ensure the stable operation and high quality production of SMT mounter. Hope this article can provide useful reference and reference for PCBA processing factory.
