Lubrication system for fixed table press

During the operation of a fixed table press,the lubrication system acts as a silent guardian,playing a crucial role in the normal functioning of the press.It can effectively reduce friction and wear between various moving parts,reduce energy consumption,extend the service life of the punch press,and ensure that the punch press always maintains efficient and stable operation.Next,let's delve into the lubrication system of the fixed table press.

1. The importance of lubrication system

1.Reduce wear and tear:During the operation of the fixed table press,its various moving parts,such as the crankshaft,connecting rod,slider,etc.,will continuously undergo relative motion.If there is no good lubrication,direct friction will occur between these components,leading to increased surface wear and shortening the service life of the components.The lubrication system can form a layer of lubricating oil film on the surface of the components,converting direct contact between the components into friction between the oil films,greatly reducing the degree of wear.
2.Reduce energy consumption:Friction generates resistance,requiring the punch to consume more energy to overcome this resistance during operation.Through the lubrication function of the lubrication system,the friction between components is reduced,thereby reducing the energy consumption during the operation of the punch press,improving energy utilization efficiency,and reducing production costs.
3.Heat dissipation and cooling:During the operation of the punch press,a large amount of heat is generated due to friction between components.If these heat cannot be dissipated in a timely manner,it will cause the temperature of the components to rise,affecting their performance and accuracy,and may even cause thermal deformation or damage to the components.The lubricating oil in the lubrication system can absorb and take away some heat,playing a role in heat dissipation and cooling,ensuring that the fixed table press operates at a suitable temperature.

4.Rust and corrosion prevention:Fixed table presss usually operate in a certain environment and are easily affected by moisture,oxygen,and other factors in the air,leading to component rust and corrosion.Lubricating oil can form a protective film on the surface of components,isolating air and moisture,preventing rusting and corrosion of components,and protecting various parts of the punching machine.

2. Types of lubrication systems

1.Manual lubrication system:This is a relatively simple lubrication method,usually manually adding lubricating oil to each lubrication point on a regular basis.The advantages of manual lubrication systems are simple structure and low cost,but the disadvantage is that the timeliness and uniformity of lubrication are difficult to guarantee,requiring operators to have a high sense of responsibility and operational skills.

2.Automatic centralized lubrication system:This system consists of lubrication pumps,distributors,pipelines,etc.,and can automatically deliver lubricating oil to various lubrication points according to the set time and lubrication amount.The automatic centralized lubrication system has the advantages of uniform,timely,and reliable lubrication,which can greatly improve lubrication efficiency and quality,and reduce the workload of manual operation.

3. Composition and working principle of progressive circulation thin oil lubrication system

1.Lubrication pump:It is the power source of the progressive circulation thin oil lubrication system,responsible for extracting lubricating oil from the oil tank and pressurizing it to be transported to the pipeline.
2.Progressive distributor:It is the core component of the system,which can distribute lubricating oil to various lubrication points in a certain proportion and order.There are multiple pistons inside the progressive distributor,and lubricating oil sequentially pushes the pistons to move,achieving progressive distribution of lubricating oil.
3.Pipeline:Used to connect the lubrication pump,progressive distributor,and various lubrication points,delivering lubricating oil to the parts that need lubrication.
4.Oil tank:used to store lubricating oil and play a role in settling impurities,heat dissipation,etc.
5.Working principle:After the lubrication pump is started,the lubricating oil in the oil tank is extracted and pressurized,and the lubricating oil is transported to the progressive distributor through the pipeline.The progressive distributor distributes lubricating oil to each lubrication point in a predetermined order and proportion.After lubricating the components at the lubrication point,the lubricating oil flows back to the oil tank through the return pipeline,forming a circulating lubrication system.
The lubrication system of the fixed table press is an important guarantee for the normal operation of the press,and its importance is self-evident.Understanding the types,components,and working principles of lubrication systems,mastering maintenance and management methods of lubrication systems,and troubleshooting techniques for common faults can ensure that the lubrication system is always in good operating condition,providing strong support for the efficient and stable operation of fixed table presses.In actual production,operators should attach great importance to the maintenance and upkeep of the lubrication system,conduct regular inspections and maintenance,timely discover and solve problems,in order to extend the service life of the punching machine,improve production efficiency and quality.
