Press Preventive Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance (PM)
- Requires everyone in the organization to make sure equipment is working efficiently.
- Total personnel involvement means everyone working together as a team.
Why is Preventive Maintenance (PM) Necessary?
- Reducing downtime (planned and unplanned)
- Improved quality production
- Increasing machine efficiency
- Lower cost for maintenance and materials
- Gain a competitive advantage over competitors
The PM inspection encompasses all components of the press:
- Machine level
- Parallelism
- Perpendicularity
- Overall Bearing Clearances
- Slide Guiding Systems (gibs and counterbalances)
- Clutch and Brake System (stopping time)
- Pneumatic, Hydraulic, Electrical, and Lubrication Systems
Block times for press inspections:
- Transfer presses (two days, two men, 32-36 hrs)
- Progressive-straight side (one day, two men,16-18 hrs)
- Gap frame (half day, one man, 4 hours)
Through experience and professional record keeping we can keep your inspection cost to a minimum, provide valuable feedback about action items for your equipment and give you an easy to read overview of overall press condition.
