In the stone processing industry, the Stone Calibrating Machine plays an indispensable role. The equipment ensures that the flatness and thickness of the stone products meet high standards by accurately calibrating the stone slabs. However, with long-term use, the knives and grinding wheels, as the core components of the equipment, often affect their performance due to wear, corrosion or clogging. Therefore, the implementation of professional maintenance and maintenance measures is essential to keep the knives and grinding wheels in the best working condition.
Functions and causes of wear of knives and grinding wheels
Knives and grinding wheels are an indispensable part of the stone calibrating machine and are directly involved in the cutting and calibration process of stone. The knives are mainly used for preliminary cutting and trimming the edges of the stone slabs, while the grinding wheels are responsible for further polishing and calibrating the surface of the stone slabs. During long-term operation, the knives and grinding wheels are subjected to friction, impact and cutting of the stone, causing them to gradually wear, deform or become blocked. These wear phenomena not only affect the processing accuracy, but may also lead to a decline in product quality.
Maintenance measures for knives and grinding wheels
Regularly check the wear of knives and grinding wheels is the first step in maintenance. It is recommended to use professional measuring tools, such as vernier calipers or microscopes, to accurately measure the cutting edge of the tool and the surface of the grinding wheel. Once severe wear or deformation is found, new tools and grinding wheels should be replaced immediately to ensure processing accuracy and product quality.
Cleaning and Rust Removal
During long-term operation, a large amount of stone dust, cutting fluid and other impurities tend to accumulate on the surface of tools and grinding wheels. These impurities not only affect the cutting performance of tools and grinding wheels, but may also cause rust and corrosion. Therefore, special cleaning fluids or solvents should be used regularly to soak and clean tools and grinding wheels to remove surface dirt and rust to keep them in good working condition.
Lubrication and Cooling
During the cutting and calibration process, tools and grinding wheels generate a lot of heat and friction. In order to reduce temperature, reduce wear and improve cutting efficiency, it is particularly important to spray coolant or lubricant on tools and grinding wheels regularly. This not only helps to protect the performance of tools and grinding wheels, but also significantly extends their service life.
Adjustment and Replacement
With the increase of use time, tools and grinding wheels may lose their original shape and precision due to wear. Therefore, it is very important to regularly adjust the cutting edge angle of the tool and the surface roughness of the grinding wheel to restore its cutting performance. When the wear of the tool and the grinding wheel reaches a certain threshold, new parts should be replaced in time to ensure the normal operation and processing quality of the stone calibrator.
