What is a servo press?

A servo press uses servo motors for precise force and position control during forming operations.

Servo Press Annual Maintenance Schedule: Complete Checklist

admin

## Daily

- Check lubrication oil level
- Listen for unusual noise in first 10 strokes
- Check counterbalance air pressure (within 10% of set point)

## Weekly

- Measure gib clearance with feeler gauge (record and trend)
- Verify lubrication flow at all points
- Check encoder cable at flex points
- Check drive cooling fan

## Monthly

- Clean drive air filters
- Check encoder battery voltage (replace if below 3.2V)
- Review drive fault history
- Motor insulation resistance: should be above 100 megaohm
- BDC repeatability: 20 strokes, std dev below 0.01mm

## Quarterly

- Adjust gibs if clearance increased more than 0.02mm
- Oil sample analysis for metal particles
- Check crankshaft end play and connecting rod clearance
- Verify all safety functions

## Annual

- Full drive parameter backup
- Replace encoder batteries
- Replace drive cooling fans
- Full mechanical inspection
- Calibrate tonnage monitor

Good list but missing one critical item: annual oil change for the gearbox (if equipped). Even with good oil analysis results, we change gear oil annually. The additive package depletes over time even if the oil looks clean. Use the OEM-specified oil —not a generic equivalent. The additive chemistry matters for the specific gear materials.

From a planning perspective: schedule the annual maintenance during the holiday shutdown. We do ours between Christmas and New Year. That gives us 5-7 days without production pressure. Trying to do annual maintenance in 4-hour weekend windows is a recipe for rushed work and missed items.
