1. Daily Visual Inspection: Catch Small Problems Before They Turn Into Big Ones.

As a pre-operation check list item for your semi-automatic wire machine, spend five to ten minutes visually inspecting certain parts. This step can help catch problems early and is less expensive than machine repairs. Pay attention to the areas that impact the machines efficiency and precision the most:

Cutting and Stripping Blades

Look for breakage, nicks and dull edges as signs of damage. Blades that need sharpened can be sharpened as long as the manufacturer specifications can be met. Cutting and stripping can cause wire to be wasted. A small, jaded edge can lead to incomplete cuts of wire.

Wire Feeding Rollers

Check that the rollers easily and quickly. They should also be free of debris, and oil buildup. Slipping of wire can lead to problems that need to be solved. Gently wiping the rollers with lint free cloth prevents the debris from becoming too difficult to remove.

Control Interface

The Control Interface system on the LUOSHIDA machines is a user-friendly feature of the machine. In this system. The Control Interface system on the LUOSHIDA machines is a user-friendly feature of the machine. In this system, Controls, buttons, and all displays of the machine should be functional and fully responsive. A machine is considered ‘stuck’ when all of the Go buttons and ‘P’ buttons are pressed. A machine is considered ‘stuck’ when all of the Go buttons and ‘P’ buttons are pressed. The applied sequence must be repeated at least s. If you can’t resolve the issue, get technical assistance as it is best to avoid working with incorrect settings.

Cables and Connections

Carefully check the power cord and other visible internal wiring for any signs of fraying, fractures, or loose strand connections. Broken or damaged wires and cables can be hazardous. Damaged wires pose a safety risk and a risk to the machine in that it may stop functioning at any time. If you identify any broken or damaged wires while the machine is in use, you must stop and consult a professional to repair and or replace the damaged wires.

2.Regular Cleaning: Keep Precision Intact

With time, they can add up to a very unpleasant sight. The cutting chamber, along wi th the moving parts, can very easily accumulate cutting oil and dust, insulation scraps, and other smudges over time. The condition in which the machine is kept does not only affect how a machine looks, but the efficiency of the machine itself. For instance: insulation remnants within cutting blades can lead to a very uneven strip. These steps should be taken to clean up the sensitive parts of the machine to keep the efficiency up: 2 to 3 times a week, or more after long periods of usage (8hrs a day +):

Power Off First

Cleaning the machine becomes dangerous if it is still plugged in. Make sure that the machine is turned off and unplugged to avoid the possibility of being electrocuted.

Clean the Cutting Chamber

Another method of cleaning is using a brush, but specifically a dry soft bristle brush, that can sweep dust and other particles. Cloths with isopropyl alcohol can also be used but should be used carefully, as one does not want to particularly touch the sensitive inflatable parts.

Wipe the Exterior

Gentle cleaning of the yellow parts of the machine is required, and they should not be sprayed with excessive amounts of water as it can cause the machine to rust and/or cause other long-term issues.

Clear the tray of waste

All semi-automatic wire machines have wire waste collection trays. Be sure to empty this tray before the end of the day. Wire scraps that rise above the rim of the tray can jam the feeding system of the machine and slow down machine processing.

3.Preventive Maintenance for Cutting Blades

The key to improving the wire processing overall workflow and efficiency is to focus on the cutting and stripping semi-automatic wire machine blades. The care you decide to apply to the blades determines the wire and wire components processing quality. This is how to take care of the machine blades.

Sharpen the Blades

If the operation is regular or on a daily basis, it is suggested to sharpen the blades every period of 2 to 4 weeks. Also, it is suggested to sharpen blades after a machine processes between 5,000 and 10,000 meters of wire. Also, wire blade sharpeners are different from ordinary sharpeners and thus it is suggested that one uses machines tailored to wire. If you do not know how to sharpen, please refer to the machine’s instructions or reach out to LUOSHIDA’s support.

To economize replacement blades

Blades, even under sharpening, will finally dull out. This is gradual and often takes between 6 to 12 months. The dull blades will show the following signs: consistent uneven wire stripping, difficulty with cutting wires, and even more, chipped blades. In order to not ruin the machine, always use blades that LUOSHIDA ‘s company approves of.

4.Lubrication reduces friction and increases the lifespan of components

The semi-automatic wire machine has components like feeding rollers and blade adjustment knobs. These components need lubrication to function. Any friction that occurs from lack of lubrication may be detrimental and may cause damage to the machine leading to repair costs. To prevent this from happening, you need to follow the suggestions below.

The Right Lubricant

Light machine oils such as 3-in-1 oil or the oils that LUOSHIDA recommends are suitable lubricants. Heavy oils and grease should be avoided. Heavy oils cause dust and dirt to build-up. Grease, on the other hand, will harden and obstruct the machine parts that need to be moving.

Lubricate Key Parts

Apply oil to the feeding roller axles, blade adjustment screws, and other joints that are moving. This should be done once a month or after 100 hours of the machine being used. Wipe the area of excess oil that may prevent wire contamination, which may compromise the wire insulation.

Avoid Over Lubrication

Oil that spills over from a container may damage parts of the machine such as the control panel or the cutting chamber. This, in turn, may cause damage to the wires and the other electrical parts. Each part should have 4 drops at the most.

5.Calibration: How to Ensure Precision

As time goes by, use the machine too frequently, and its parameters could start to drift. For example, the stripping depth could become too shallow or too deep. This, in turn, results in either wire damage or the incomplete removal of insulation. To keep the machine accurate, it is best unlocked every 1-2 months.

Use the Manual

LUOSHIDA’s semi-automatic wire machines are equipped with calibration guides, so follow the gears and steps to adjust the cutting length, stripping depth and pace of the feed, and the cutting pace.

Trial with Test Wire

In the fill cutoff, pieces of wire and calibration sample run, (-dlick of slites of the sample is thesame- and teh slipes. Since there isn't a wire or tape around swith spins apolse,).

Note the Dates of Calibration

Note the of Calibration when the machine was last used. This is a log to mantain space aswell soin the machine, to help with repairs, for upto 250 days.

6.Abnormalities：Responding Quickly to Issues to Prevent More Serious Damage

If you see something out of the ordinary (such as unusual sounds, sluggish processing, or interfaced errors), the first thing you should do is stop using the machine right away. A machine that is not functioning correctly will only get damaged further the longer you use it. In this case, it is advisable that you:

Perform Initial Troubleshooting

Look for missing connections, dirty surfaces, or blunt edges (these three are the most common culprits for abnormalities). For example, if the machine has a problem feeding the wire, check feeding rollers to see if they are clean as well as correctly aligned.

7.Long Term Inactivity: Do not Forget to Cover the Machine During Its Period of Inactivity

If a period of greater than 2 weeks will pass without the machine being used ( such as during holiday periods), precautions should be taken.

Deep Clean

Remove any and all scraps, dust, and oil residue that may be found on the machine.

Key Components that are Able to be Lubricated

You should lubricate with a light oil any components that are in motion, as this will avoid the component from rusting.Cover the Machine: It is necessary to cover or place a cloth over the machine to keep moisture and dust out.

Store in a Dry Area

The machine should be stored in a location that is dry and cool. Do not place it in a location with high humidity or temperature, since it may lead to the machine rusting or the plastic components getting damaged.

Common Questions & Answers About Semi-Automatic Wire Machine Maintenance

1.How often should I perform a full maintenance check on my semi automatic wire machine.

If the machine is used within a range of 4-6 hours a day, a maintenance check should be done once every 4-6 weeks. However, if the machine is used for surplus of 8 hours a day, the maintenance check should be done more frequently, every 2-3 weeks. It is recommended that a visual inspection be done every day and the waste tray should be emptied before use.

2.Can I use any type of blade oil to lubricate the machine's moving parts?

No, the recommended oil that should be used would be 3-in-1 oil or other oils that LUOSHIDA endorses. It is not recommended to use household oils, since they may degrade the machine and disrupt the wire.

3. My machine’s cutting precision has dropped—even after sharpening the blades. What should I do?

If sharpening blades doesn't resolve the problem, the precision could be off due to either a fault in the machine calibration or misalignment. Look at the blade holder to see if it is tight (loose holders allow blades to adjust during cutting). If the holder is tight, re-calculate the machine's cutting length and stripping depth using the instructions in the user manual. If the problem is still there, get in touch with technical support at Foshan Chengwei; some worn-out part, like the feeding roller, could be the issue.
