【Production】What are the aspects of daily inspection for TPM equipment? What does daily inspection entail in TPM equipment management? Equipment management is an essential part of corporate management; so what specific aspects are included in the daily inspection of TPM equipment? ① Inspection is primarily carried out by using senses such as sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, with a focus on checking the equipment’s vibration, unusual noises, temperature, pressure, looseness at connections, cracks, electrical circuits, damage to electrical components, corrosion, unusual odors, leaks, as well as any issues with liquid pipelines such as leakage or drips. ②Replacement of bolts, pointers, plates (blocks), pins, oil seals, etc., as well as the replacement and repair of other small parts. ③Adjustment and tightening of loose springs, belts, bolts, etc.; adjustment of brakes, limiters, hydraulic systems, and hydraulic malfunctions; simple adjustments to other machinery. ④ Cleaning of cable trenches, workbenches, stairs, floors, and walls; cleaning of various devices without disassembly. ⑤Oil supply and greasing of the oil supply device, inspection of the oil supply function at each oil supply point, and replacement of grease. ⑥Remove water accumulation from the air storage tank, pipeline filters, various piping systems, as well as any unnecessary water buildup within the equipment. ⑦Keep records of the inspection results for each item. Conducting regular inspections of equipment allows one to stay informed about its operating conditions, maintain it in good condition, and reduce the occurrence of equipment failures. 1. Types of routine inspections: Routine inspections are carried out according to the specific requirements of different positions; generally, each team is required to perform the following three types of inspections. (1) Static inspection: It is required to be carried out item by item. (2) Dynamic inspection: It is required to be carried out item by item. (3) Key inspections: include dynamic or static checks, to be carried out at any time. Each team may need to conduct several inspections; any issues found must be resolved or reported promptly, and a summary report along with records must be prepared at the end of each shift. 2. Principles for routine inspections: (1) For comprehensive inspections, the personnel responsible must check each item on the inspection list one by one and confirm them all; no items should be overlooked. For example, if the pipes of a device are in disarray, it may not affect its functionality, but it can still pose safety risks. Therefore, special attention must be paid during such inspections. (2) For those confirmed to be problem-free, appropriate symbols should be marked ； Uninspected items must not be marked. For those with issues, corresponding markings should be made, records should be kept, and reports should be submitted to superiors. (3) Timeliness of resolution: Issues identified through inspections must be resolved promptly, with the resolution process and outcomes recorded. However, until the problem is resolved, the problem symbol must be recorded continuously, and it cannot be removed without permission. 3. The key points of routine inspections mainly include the general principles applicable to mechanical equipment, such as various aspects related to air compression, steam, oil pressure, drives, and electricity. In addition, some parts of the equipment that experience frequent failures are also key areas for inspection. 4. The daily inspection tasks carried out by the operators responsible for these operations are voluminous and require continuous effort; they represent the core of the inspection work. ①This portion of the inspection must be carried out daily in a cyclical manner, following the specified inspection items and a scientific inspection route. The key to doing this work well is to strictly follow the daily inspection procedures. At the same time, it is necessary for production operators to have high standards of competence, becoming \"technical\" and \"management-oriented\" workers. (Daily inspection of equipment is a fundamental task in equipment management, and it must be carried out carefully in accordance with the requirements. )② If it is found during inspections that the equipment is disorganized, it should be sorted out promptly to restore order. ③During inspections, any improper machine operations that are identified must be corrected, and the operators must be informed of key aspects such as the equipment’s structure and performance, so that they understand why it is necessary to follow the operating procedures.
