Maintenance Schedule
Inspect every 500K cycles.
Lubricate Die Set pins every 50K cycles.
Procedure
Inspect the punch pins for signs of wear or mis-alignment. Periodic lubrication
extends the life of the Die Sets.
The customer or operator can perform this maintenance between technician
inspections.
To lubricate Die Set pins that do not have felt pads:
1. Depress the Die Set so that the pins protrude from the bottom plate.
2. Apply a drop of high quality machine oil to the end of each pin.
3. Wipe clean, leaving a light coat of oil on them.
To lubricate Die Set pins that have felt pads:
•
Lubricate with a high quality machine oil.
•
Apply oil lightly along the length of the pad [1], but do not over saturate.
•
Do not use spray lubricants because they tend to dry up quickly and leave a
sticky residue.
