What spare parts are needed for a stator paint dripping machine for series excitation motors and how should I set up a guaranteed stock?
I. Spare parts list
l Mechanical parts
Sealing parts: e.g. sealing gaskets for pumps, sealing rings at pipe joints etc. These parts are prone to wear and tear or aging, resulting in liquid leakage. In the pump and piping system of the paint dripping machine, the seals are the key to ensure that the paint is delivered properly and does not leak.
Drive belts and chains: If the paint dripper is driven by a belt or chain, these parts will wear, stretch or break over time. For example, in the case of a chain conveying a stator, wear between the links can cause erratic conveying after prolonged use.
Spray nozzles and nozzles: Paint dripping spray nozzles and nozzles directly affect the effect of paint dripping, they are easily clogged by impurities in the paint, or wear and deformation of the spray holes due to long-term use, thus affecting the uniformity of paint dripping.
Fixture parts: the fixture used to fix the stator, its parts such as the clamping jaws of the fixture, positioning pins, etc. may be damaged or lost, affecting the fixing accuracy of the stator.
l Electrical parts
Sensors: including temperature sensors, liquid level sensors, flow sensors and so on. These sensors may fail in the harsh environment of paint mist, such as the temperature sensor's thermal element is damaged, resulting in the inability to accurately measure the drying temperature; the liquid level sensor is covered by paint and malfunctions, and cannot correctly detect the paint level.
Relays and contactors: they are key components in the control circuit. Frequent on/off operation will cause the contacts to wear out and oxidize, resulting in poor contact or failure to properly absorb and release.
Motor brushes (if it is a brushed motor): brushes will gradually wear out during the operation of the motor, and when worn to a certain extent, it will cause unstable motor operation, increased sparks and other problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers: As the protection devices of the circuit, they may be blown or tripped due to overloading or short-circuiting of the circuit. In order to restore the operation of the equipment in time, it is necessary to prepare spare fuses and circuit breakers of suitable specifications.
l Consumables
Paint Filter: It is used to filter impurities in the paint to prevent clogging of the nozzle and damage to the equipment. With the increase of use time, the filter will be clogged with impurities and need to be replaced periodically.
Cleaning supplies: such as special cleaners and wipes for cleaning the paint scale and impurities on the surface of the equipment.
Second, to protect the inventory setup method
l Determine the key spare parts: Risk assessment of the operation of the equipment to determine which spare parts are critical. For example, spray nozzles and nozzles, seals and key sensors, etc., once the failure of these parts will directly lead to equipment downtime or product quality decline. For these critical spare parts, the guaranteed stock level can be set relatively high.
l Analyze the service life and failure probability of spare parts:
Service life analysis: Through the technical information provided by the equipment manufacturer, past maintenance records or actual tests, to understand the average service life of each spare part. For example, seals may need to be replaced every 6 - 12 months under normal conditions of use; drive belts may need to be replaced in about 1 - 2 years depending on the intensity of the work. Based on this information, it is possible to make a preliminary estimate of the number of spare parts required over a certain period of time.
Failure probability assessment: Statistics on the historical failure frequency of each spare part. For example, if a level sensor of a certain model has failed 3 times in the past year, and the equipment has been in operation for 3000 hours, the probability of failure of the sensor can be calculated and used to adjust the guaranteed stock. For spare parts with a high probability of failure, the guaranteed stock should be increased.
l Consider the procurement cycle and supplier situation:
Purchasing lead time: Find out how long it takes from the time a purchase order is issued for a spare part to the time the goods are received. If the procurement cycle is long, for example, some special specification sensors need to be sourced from overseas and the procurement cycle may be as long as 3 - 6 months, it is necessary to set a higher guaranteed stock to cope with the demand for spare parts that may arise during this period.
Supplier Reliability: Evaluate the supplier's reputation and supply capability. If the supplier has frequent delivery delays, inconsistent product quality, etc., a higher level of guaranteed stock is required to minimize the risk of supply interruption. At the same time, there should be a list of standby suppliers so that spare parts can be obtained from other sources in a timely manner in case of problems with the main supplier.
l Set inventory levels and replenishment strategies:
Minimum stock levels: Based on the above factors, determine the minimum guaranteed stock levels for each spare part. For example, for commonly used seals, the minimum stock can be set to 10 - 20 units; for special sensors with long procurement cycle, the minimum stock can be set to 3 - 5 units.
Replenishment strategy: regular replenishment or quantitative replenishment strategy can be used. Regular replenishment refers to every certain period of time to check the inventory and replenish to the set level of guaranteed stock; quantitative replenishment refers to when the number of inventory down to a certain reorder point, the replenishment. The reorder point is determined by taking into account the average rate of use and the procurement cycle of spare parts. For example, if a certain spare part is used 2 times a month on average and the procurement cycle is 2 months, then the reorder point can be set to 4.
l Inventory monitoring and management: Establish an inventory monitoring system to track the inventory quantity, time of entry and exit, and utilization of spare parts in real time. Regular inventory is conducted to ensure the accuracy of inventory quantity. At the same time, the guaranteed inventory level and replenishment strategy are adjusted in a timely manner according to the renewal of equipment, improvement of spare parts or changes in utilization.
