Orientation
Be sure to follow 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. Clean the chip conveyor. Sweep accumulated chips from the tool carriers and
chip deflectors onto the chip conveyor belt. Provide a collection bin at the chip
discharge chute switch on the chip conveyor. Continue to open the work area
door frequently and clean the slats of the conveyor belt with a broom. If a hand
shower (option) is available, it can be used to rinse the interior and the
conveyor belt.
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).
