Wear and tear of mechanical components
Cam wear: Cams are key components of intermittent dividers and may experience wear after long-term use. Check for obvious wear marks, scratches, or peeling on the surface of the cam. Because the contour accuracy of the cam directly affects the indexing accuracy, severe wear can cause changes in the motion trajectory of the roller on the cam surface, resulting in a decrease in indexing accuracy.
Roller wear: When the roller comes into contact with the cam and rolls, it is also prone to wear. Check the surface wear of the roller for any deformation, cracks, etc. Worn rollers may not accurately follow the contour movement of the cam, affecting the accuracy of indexing.
Wear of indexing disc: The positioning holes or grooves on the indexing disc are matched with the rollers to achieve indexing, and check for wear and deformation. If the indexing plate is worn, it will cause deviation in the indexing position, resulting in a decrease in indexing accuracy.
Installation and connection issues
Installation accuracy: Check whether the installation base of the intermittent divider is flat and stable, and whether the installation bolts are loose. If the installation base is uneven or the bolts are loose, it will cause displacement or shaking of the divider during operation, affecting the accuracy of the division.
Coupling issue: Check if the coupling connected to the intermittent divider is installed correctly, and if there is any looseness, deformation, or different shafts. The problem with the coupling may result in unstable power transmission, causing deviations in the output of the splitter.
Lubrication and sealing issues
Poor lubrication: Check whether the oil level, quality, and lubrication system of the lubricating oil are normal. If the lubricating oil is insufficient or the oil quality deteriorates, it will increase the friction between components, leading to increased wear and affecting the accuracy of indexing.
Sealing failure: Check if the sealing components are damaged and if there is any oil leakage. Sealing failure can lead to lubricant leakage, impurities entering the interior, affecting the normal operation of components, and ultimately reducing the accuracy of indexing.
Load and operating conditions
Load variation: Confirm whether the load suddenly increases or there is uneven load. Excessive or unstable loads may cause the pressure on the divider to exceed the design range, resulting in a decrease in indexing accuracy.
Running speed: Check if the running speed exceeds the rated speed of the splitter. Excessive operating speed can increase the inertia force of components, affecting the accuracy of motion and leading to a decrease in indexing accuracy.
Control system malfunction: If the intermittent divider is driven by the control system, check whether the parameter settings of the control system are correct and whether the signal transmission is stable. For example, errors in parameters such as frequency and quantity of pulse signals, or interference in the control system, may result in inaccurate division of the splitter.
