In the laboratory environment, the stable operation of the automatic hot mounting press ZXQ - 4 produced by Laizhou Jincheng Industrial Equipment Co., Ltd. is crucial for ensuring the accuracy of experimental results. This guide aims to provide laboratory administrators and technicians with detailed information on the daily maintenance and performance calibration of the ZXQ - 4, helping them achieve long - term stable operation of the equipment and meet international standards such as ASTM E2554 and ISO 3108.
Regular maintenance of the ZXQ - 4 can significantly extend its service life, reduce the probability of failures, and ensure the accuracy and consistency of experimental results. The main objectives of maintenance include keeping the equipment clean, ensuring the accuracy of temperature control, and preventing system blockages.
Mold cleaning is an essential part of the maintenance process. It is recommended to clean the mold after every 10 - 15 uses. The cleaning process should be carried out in a well - ventilated area. First, turn off the power of the equipment and wait for it to cool down. Then, use a soft brush to remove loose debris from the mold surface. Next, soak the mold in a mild cleaning solution for about 15 - 20 minutes, and then gently scrub it with a brush. Finally, rinse the mold with clean water and dry it thoroughly. 
Accurate temperature control is vital for the performance of the hot mounting press. The temperature control sensor should be calibrated at least once every three months. The calibration process involves comparing the reading of the sensor with a standard temperature source. If there is a deviation, adjust the sensor according to the manufacturer's instructions. This step ensures that the temperature in the hot mounting process is within the required range, meeting the ASTM E2554 and ISO 3108 standards. 
The water - cooling system plays a key role in maintaining the stable operation of the equipment. To prevent scaling, it is recommended to add a suitable anti - scaling agent to the cooling water every two months. Regularly check the water level and flow rate of the cooling system, and clean the water filter every month. This can effectively prevent blockages and ensure the normal operation of the cooling system.
Perform temperature uniformity and pressure stability tests on the equipment at least once a month. Use professional testing equipment to measure the temperature distribution and pressure changes inside the hot mounting press. If the test results do not meet the standards, adjust the equipment in time to ensure the accuracy of the experimental results.
In practical use, some common faults may occur, such as heating delays and mold clamping jams. For heating delays, check the power supply, heating elements, and temperature control sensors. For mold clamping jams, check the mechanical parts and lubrication conditions. By referring to the equipment manual and using the troubleshooting guide, most faults can be quickly diagnosed and eliminated.
