How to maintain the band saw machine

Mar 25, 2025

Surface and internal maintenance of horizontal band saws:

1. Twenty minutes before work every day, start cleaning the metal band saw and other auxiliary tools, wipe the machine, remove iron filings, dust, oil, and loosen the saw belt.

2. Check whether the screws, handles, handle balls, etc. are loose or damaged to ensure that the horizontal band saw is intact.

3. Remove the relevant cover and wipe the internal parts from time to time. The surface and interior of the horizontal band saw should be clean and intact, and rust must be eliminated.

2. Maintenance of hydraulic and transmission systems

1. Wipe the guide rails and sliding surfaces 20 minutes before work

2. Clean the worm gear box from time to time, drive the relevant transmission device to an open place, and then tighten the connecting bolts and nuts of each part

3. Maintenance of the lubrication system

 

1. Before starting the horizontal band saw, lubricate all parts of the saw according to the lubrication instructions

2. Check the concentration and amount of the emulsified cutting fluid in the worm gear box and water tank (components: high-level water tank, water storage tank, low-level water tank) of the horizontal band saw from time to time. Band saws are mainly used for sawing carbon structural steel, low-alloy steel, high-alloy steel, special alloy steel, stainless steel, acid-resistant steel and other metal materials. According to the structure, they are divided into horizontal band saws and vertical band saws. The horizontal type is divided into scissor-type, double-column and single-column band saws.

3. Regularly organize the cleaning of the parts and lubrication organization to keep the entire oil circuit unobstructed and leak-free.

Only by doing the above three maintenance, your band saw can be used satisfactorily, cut like mud, and help you operate successfully. The sawing machine is a relatively simple machine tool, and users will not require their sawing machines to play the role of a machining center. The computer-controlled sawing machine not only improves the power and quality of sawing for users, but more importantly, the network function of the computer will make the sawing more closely connected with other links of CIMS and more convenient to operate. The hydraulic transmission system of the band sawing machine is composed of auxiliary components such as pumps, valves, oil cylinders, oil tanks, and pipelines. The lifting and lowering of the saw beam and the clamping of the workpiece are completed under electrical control, and the feed speed can be adjusted steplessly through the speed regulating valve to meet the sawing needs of workpieces of different materials.
