Line Boring Machine need a Break-in Period

In order to ensure it perform precisely and reliably, the portable line boring machine needs a breaking-in period. Many customers are so eager to catch up with the deadline that they often neglect the break-in period. As a result, equipment breakdown in later. Why does portable line boring machine need a

break-in period:

Components of line boring machine get Loose

There are deviations in geometric shape and size in the accessory and components of the new line boring machine. In the initial stage of use, the impact and vibration, as well as factors such as heat and deformation, it is easy to lead the original fastening parts loose.

component of line boring machine get worn

Fistly, due to factors such as processing, assembly, and adjustment of new components, the friction surface is small and rough. Scecondly, the surface pressure is not same either. During the running of the machine, the friction alters a part’s surface topography, therefore, it will cause severe damage. Finally, if the boring machine is overloaded in the initial time, its components may be damaged and early failures may occur.

Leakage occurred

Owing to loose parts, vibrations, and mechanical heat, leakage may occur. Defects such as components casting and machining are difficult to find during assembly and commissioning. However, due to the vibration and impact of processing, this defect is exposed and it is expressed as leakage/ seepage of oil/ water. Therefore, the break-in period is prone to leakage.

Misoperation

What with the lack of understanding of the structure and performance of the machine (especially for the new operator), it is very easy to cause malfunctions and even mechanical accidents.

Poor lubrication

Due to the small fit clearance of the newly assembled machine, it is difficult to ensure the uniformity of gap. Hence the lubricant oil (grease) cannot easily form a uniform oil film on the friction surface. It reduces lubrication efficiency and causes early abnormal worn of boring machine parts. In severe cases, it can result in scratching or biting into the friction surface of the precision fitting. Check our portable line boring machines
