Question 1

How often should servo press gibs be adjusted?

Accepted Answer

Check gib clearance weekly with a feeler gauge. Adjust when clearance exceeds 0.03mm. Full gib adjustment is typically needed quarterly for high-production presses.

Question 2

When should I replace servo press encoder batteries?

Accepted Answer

Replace encoder batteries annually regardless of voltage reading. Check voltage monthly — replace immediately if below 3.2V. Battery failure causes loss of absolute position data.

Question 3

What oil should I use in a servo press lubrication system?

Accepted Answer

Use the grade specified in your press manual. Typical: ISO VG 68 or VG 100 for gib lubrication. Never mix oil grades. Change oil every 2000 operating hours or annually.
