How to solve rusting of linear guides
As one of the core components of the equipment, linear guides and linear axes play a role in guiding and supporting. In order for the machine to have high machining accuracy, it is required that its guide rails and straight lines have high guiding accuracy and good motion stability.
During the operation of the equipment, a large amount of corrosive dust and smoke will be generated during the processing of the workpiece. These smoke and dust will accumulate on the surface of the guide rail and linear axis for a long time, which has a significant impact on the machining accuracy of the equipment,
And it will form corrosion points on the surface of the straight axis of the guide rail, shortening the service life of the equipment. In order to ensure the normal and stable operation of the machine and the processing quality of the product, it is necessary to carefully carry out daily maintenance of the guide rails and linear axes.
Please prepare dry cotton cloth and lubricating oil for cleaning the guide rail. For example, the guide rails of a carving machine are divided into linear guide rails and roller guide rails. Cleaning of linear guide: First, move the laser head to the right (or left) side and find the linear guide,
Wipe with a dry cotton cloth until it is shiny and dust-free, then add a little lubricating oil (sewing machine oil can be used, do not use machine oil). Slowly push the laser head left and right a few times to evenly distribute the lubricating oil.
Cleaning of linear guide rail: Move the crossbeam to the inside, open the end covers on both sides of the machine, find the guide rail, use a dry cotton cloth to wipe clean the contact area between the guide rail and the roller on both sides, and then move the crossbeam to clean the remaining area.
How can we prevent rust,
The reason why linear guides rust is mainly due to our insufficient understanding of them. Normally, before leaving the factory, the surface of linear guides needs to be wiped with anti rust oil,
However, after a period of use, it will still experience severe rusting.
After ending the use of the linear guide, we need to apply anti rust oil on its surface again, which is very important for rust prevention. Although it should have been applied before leaving the factory, during use,
It is inevitable that evaporation and rusting will occur over time.
After applying anti rust oil to the linear guide, it should be placed in a warehouse at room temperature and should not be mixed with corrosive objects. It is also not allowed to temporarily store unused linear guides,
Directly stored on the ground of the warehouse, as the ground will accelerate the evaporation of rust proof oil, this requires everyone to pay more attention when using it.
