In industries such as textile processing, automatic quilting machines are important equipment for producing high-quality quilted products. However, when the automatic quilting machine has been out of use for a long time and is restarted, it cannot be started up rashly. Instead, a series of detailed inspections and debugging work need to be carried out to ensure its normal operation and product quality.
Firstly, there is a visual inspection. To check whether the outer shell of the automatic quilting machine is corroded, damaged, etc. If the machine is placed in a damp environment, there may be rusting of the outer shell, which not only affects the appearance but also poses a potential threat to the internal components. For areas with rust, timely cleaning and protective treatment should be carried out. At the same time, check whether the connections of each component are loose, such as screws, nuts, etc. If they are loose, they should be tightened in a timely manner to prevent dangerous situations such as component detachment during subsequent operation.
Next is the cleaning work. After prolonged disuse, dust and debris may accumulate on the surface and inside of the machine. To wipe the surface of the machine with a clean cloth, small cleaning tools can be used to assist in cleaning areas that are difficult to wipe. For the interior of the machine, especially key parts such as the feeding mechanism and needle bar, careful cleaning is necessary to remove dust and oil stains to avoid affecting the normal operation of the machine. For example, dust in the feeding mechanism may cause uneven fabric transportation, affecting the accuracy of stitching.
Next is lubrication inspection. The various moving parts of the automatic sewing machine require good lubrication to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear. Check the condition of the lubricating oil to see if there is any deterioration, drying, or other phenomena. For the parts that need to be supplemented or replaced with lubricating oil, the appropriate lubricating oil should be selected according to the requirements of the equipment manual for addition or replacement. For example, if the lubrication of the transmission components of the machine head is insufficient, it may cause operation to stall, heat up, and even damage the components.
Electrical system inspection is also a critical step. Check whether the wires are damaged, aged, etc., and whether the plugs are in good contact. For equipment that has been out of use for a long time, electrical components may malfunction due to moisture and other reasons. Detailed inspections should be conducted on electrical components such as control panels and motors to test their functionality. Before starting up, it is also necessary to check the grounding of the equipment to ensure the safety of the operators.
After completing the above inspection work, enter the debugging phase. Firstly, perform no-load debugging, that is, do not load the fabric and let the machine run idle for a period of time. Observe the operating status of the machine, listen for any abnormal noise, and check if the movements of each component are coordinated. For example, whether the up and down movement of the needle bar is smooth, and whether the speed of the feeding mechanism is uniform. If any abnormalities are found, stop the machine in a timely manner for inspection and troubleshooting.
Then proceed with loading and debugging. Put the appropriate fabric into the machine, set it according to the normal stitching process parameters, and then conduct a stitching test. Check whether the stitch spacing is accurate, whether the stitching is beautiful, and whether the pattern meets the requirements. If there are problems such as uneven needle spacing and inappropriate thread tension, the corresponding parameters should be adjusted in a timely manner.
At the same time, it is necessary to reconfirm the control system. Check if the software is running properly and if all parameter settings are saved properly. For some automatic quilting machines with memory function, it is necessary to ensure that they can accurately restore to the setting state when they were last used.
In short, when the automatic quilting machine is stopped for a long time and restarted, comprehensive inspection and scientific debugging work can effectively avoid equipment failures, improve production efficiency, and ensure the quality of quilted products. Only by taking these aspects seriously can the automatic quilting machine regain vitality, provide reliable support for the production activities of enterprises, continuously produce high-quality quilting products in fierce market competition, meet customer needs, and achieve sustainable development of enterprises.
