Machine tool indicator is an important safety device in the machine tool equipment, mainly used to indicate the working status of the machine tool, early warning of dangerous situations and prompt the operator to take appropriate measures. This article will introduce the role of machine tool indicators, analyze its common problems, and discuss the corresponding elimination methods.
What is a machine tool indicator, what can it do?
Machine tool indicator is a kind of electronic equipment, usually installed in the machine tool equipment, through the LED and other light sources to send out light signals, in order to prompt the operator to the working state of the equipment. Indicator lights in the machine tool equipment has the following roles:
- indicate the working state: machine tool indicator can indicate the start, stop, run, etc., so that the operator understands the working condition of the equipment at any time.
- Early warning of dangerous situations: when the machine tool equipment, such as overload, leakage, short circuit, etc., the machine tool indicator will issue an alarm signal to remind the operator to deal with timely to avoid accidents.
- Prompt to take measures: When the machine tool equipment requires the operator to take measures, such as replacing tools, adding materials, etc., the machine tool indicator will issue a prompt signal to guide the operator to operate correctly.
Common Problems of Machine Tool Indicators
In actual use, the machine tool indicator may appear the following common problems:
- indicator lamp does not light: indicator lamp damage or circuit failure caused by the indicator lamp does not light, can not normally indicate the state of the equipment.
- Indicator light flashes: the indicator light flashes that there is a fault or abnormal circuit, you need to check the circuit and the indicator light whether the contact is good.
- Indicator misdirection: due to circuit failure or interference, resulting in the indicator light incorrectly indicate the status of the device.
- Indicator light intermittent: due to circuit failure or interference, resulting in the indicator light intermittent light or no light.
How to solve these problems
For the above common problems, you can take the following troubleshooting methods:
- Indicator light does not light: check the circuit and the indicator light whether the contact is good, such as damage to the need to replace the new indicator light.
- Indicator flashing: check whether the circuit is faulty or interference, such as faults need to repair the circuit, such as interference need to take anti-interference measures.
- Indicator misdirection: check whether there is a fault or interference with the circuit, such as faults need to repair the circuit, such as interference need to take anti-jamming measures.
- Indicator intermittent: check whether the circuit failure or interference, such as failure to repair the circuit, such as interference need to take anti-jamming measures.
Machine tool indicator is an important safety device in the machine tool equipment, used to indicate the working status of the equipment, early warning of dangerous situations and prompt the operator to take appropriate measures. In the process of use, there may be a variety of problems, such as indicator lights do not light, flashing, false indication and intermittent and so on. For these problems, you need to take the appropriate troubleshooting methods to repair the circuit or replace the components. In order to ensure the normal operation of the machine tool indicator light, the operator needs to check and maintain the machine tool indicator light on a regular basis, find and solve problems in time to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment.
