Maintenance Procedure Instructions
WEEKLY –
120 h of Production
Grease chains
The chains must not become dry. For proper chain
lubrication, use only PERMA SO14-type oil (high
temperature oil).
NOTE Using any other kind of oil or grease can
damage the conveyor.
WEEKLY –
120 h of Production
Clean ceramic glasses
Clean the ceramic glasses each week. Depending on your
level of production, it may be necessary to clean them
more often. It is important to clean all varnish residues from
the bottom glasses to ensure a good thermal transfer.
MONTHLY -
600 h of production
Check reproducibility of the
thermal cycle
Use a temperature recorder (Datapak, KIK, M.O.L.E. etc.)
and a PCB (or other production item) equipped with
thermocouples.
NOTE The results of this control must match the
profiles previously obtained or the
specifications given by the varnish
provider.
MONTHLY -
600 h of production
Check exhaust security
control
Stop the exhaust or disconnect the pipe. The oven must go
into Alarm mode. If the oven doesn’t stop, check the
functioning of the air flow sensor.
THREE MONTH -
1800 h of production
Check control of speed
displayed
While the conveyor is running, use a stopwatch and
measuring tape to determine how long it takes the
conveyor to move a specified distance. Calculate the speed
in cm/min. The calculated speed must be near the speed
displayed on the screen (+/- 1 cm/min).
NOTE Make sure that the measuring equipment
used (watch and measuring tape) are
calibrated.
SIX MONTH -
3600 h of production
Check Emergency Stop
buttons
Push one of the emergency stop buttons. Check that the
production stops.
To restart the equipment, follow the procedure described in
the TC V3 Operations Manual.
NOTE Check the emergency stop buttons
consecutively.
SIX MONTH -
3600 h of production
Check conveyor gears
When disassembling the conveyor chains, check the
motion of each gear. If the gear does not turn freely, it must
be changed.
SIX MONTH -
3600 h of production
Check wear of the rails
When removing the conveyor chains, check the rails for
wear. When the chains are reassembled, they must slide
freely along each sliding rail (forward and backward).
ANNUAL -
7200 h of production
Check rails parallelism
Measure the parallelism between the fixed rail and the
mobile rail. It must not exceed +/- 0.5mm.
