Daily Maintenance Procedures for Fiber Polishing Machines & How to Extend Equipment Lifespan

1. Introduction: Why Professional Maintenance Matters

Fiber polishing machine are core equipment for ensuring the quality of Optical fiber communications, with their polishing precision directly impacting the transmission efficiency of optical signals. A systematic maintenance plan not only guarantees consistent polishing quality but also significantly extends equipment lifespan while reducing overall operating costs. Statistics indicate that properly maintained equipment can see its service life extended by 30% to 50%. 

1. Core Steps for Routine Maintenance

Step 1: Pre- and Post-Use Care

A：Pre-polishing Cleaning:

1. Use a professional air gun to remove all residues from the polishing pad surface.
2. Inspect and clean fixture locating surfaces to ensure no debris affects positioning accuracy.
3. Verify workbench surface cleanliness.

B：Post-polishing Cleaning:

1. Immediately remove polishing solution residues to prevent solidification.
2. Dismantle and clean removable protective covers and drip pans.
3. Inspect and clear the waste collection system.

Step 2: Consumables Management and Replacement

A：Polishing Pad Management:

1. Inspect the flatness of polishing pad before use and measure wear levels with dedicated gauges.
2. Maintain a polishing pad replacement log card, recording usage frequency and replacement dates.
3. Store polishing pad of different hardness levels separately to prevent mix-ups.

B：Polishing Film Management:

1. Strictly enforce the graded usage system (coarse grinding → fine grinding → polishing)
2. Establish the fiber consumableslifespan tracking system to record the usage count of each sheet
3. Dispose of used polishing filmthrough dedicated recycling channels to prevent environmental pollution

Step 3: Regular Inspection and Calibration

1.Pressure System Calibration: Verify polishing pressure accuracy using a professional pressure gauge

2.Motion System Inspection: Check guide rail lubrication status and operational smoothness

3.Electrical System Testing: Inspect operational status of all control modules

4.Equipment Accuracy Testing: Perform overall machine accuracy calibration

III. Conclusion: Maintenance Investment Equals Quality Investment

Professional maintenance not only extends equipment lifespan but, more importantly, ensures stable and consistent polishing quality. A comprehensive maintenance system can reduce equipment downtime by 50% and boost polishing yield by over 15%. Treating maintenance costs as essential quality investments is the key to maximizing equipment value.
