How to solve the problem of linear guide rail rusting

As one of the core parts of the equipment, linear guide and linear shaft are used to guide and support. In order to ensure the high machining accuracy of the machine, the guide rail and straight line are required to have high guiding accuracy and good motion stability.

During the operation of the equipment, a large amount of corrosive dust and smoke will be produced during the processing of the processed parts. Based on these smoke and dust, a large number of them are deposited on the surface of the guide rail and linear shaft for a long time, which has a great impact on the processing accuracy of the equipment, and will form corrosion spots on the surface of the linear axis of the guide rail, thus shortening the service life of the equipment. In order to ensure the normal and stable operation of the machine and ensure the processing quality of the products, it is necessary to do a good job in the daily maintenance of the guide rail and linear shaft.

Please prepare dry cotton cloth and lubricating oil for cleaning guide rail. For example: the guide rail of engraving machine is divided into linear guide rail and roller guide rail.

Cleaning of linear guide: first move the laser head to the far right (or left), find the linear guide, wipe it with dry cotton cloth until it is bright and dust-free, add a little lubricating oil (sewing oil can be used, do not use oil), push the laser head left and right slowly for several times to make the lubricating oil evenly distributed.

Cleaning of linear guide: move the crossbeam to the inside, open the end covers on both sides of the machine, find the guide rail, wipe the contact place between the guide rail and the roller on both sides with dry cotton cloth, and then move the beam to clean the remaining place.
