Yes, sensitive components on the molding machine do need to be protected with protective covers or other protective devices. This can prevent environmental factors such as dust, dirt, moisture, and physical damage from affecting these components, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and ensuring its normal operation. The following are some common sensitive components and their protective measures:
Electronic control panel and display: Use protective covers or enclosed cabinets to prevent dust, moisture, and physical damage. Ensure that these covers are easy to open for easy operation and maintenance.
Electrical connections and circuit boards: Use dust or waterproof covers to protect electrical connections and circuit boards from dust and moisture. For high humidity or corrosive environments, it is recommended to use sealed electrical boxes.
Hydraulic components: Hydraulic pumps, valves, and pipelines require dust and leak protection. The use of protective covers and enclosed pipelines can prevent contamination and physical damage.
Sensors and switches: Sensors and switches are precision components that are susceptible to dust and physical damage. The use of protective covers and shells can provide necessary protection.
Lubrication system: The oil tank and lubrication points of the lubrication system need to be dustproof and anti fouling. Ensure that the lubrication system is well sealed and use appropriate protective devices to prevent dust and pollutants from entering.
Moving parts: Transmission belts, gears, guide rails, bearings, and other moving parts need protective covers to prevent dust and impurities from entering, while avoiding accidental contact by operators and causing safety accidents.
Cooling system: Cooling water pipes and radiators need protection to prevent dust blockage and physical damage. Regular cleaning and maintenance are also important.
Protecting sensitive components not only extends the service life of the equipment, but also improves the efficiency and safety of the molding machine. When designing protective measures for the molding machine, ensure that these protective devices are easy to disassemble and install for maintenance and repair. Regularly inspect and maintain these protective devices to ensure they effectively protect sensitive components during use.
