In-die Tapping
Preventive Maintenance Program
2 year/2 million strokes
Most of the time, the high pressure production
environment of metal stamping facilities does not allow for unscheduled down
time of dies. The best way for you to
stay ahead of these unanticipated break downs is by having a proactive
preventative maintenance program. That
is why Hutchison Tool has put together a preventative maintenance program to
help maximize the uptime of your In-die tapping unit.
How often should the PM be done?
You should consider a PM every 2 years or 2 million
strokes
How does it work?
Contact Hutchison Tool to schedule an appointment with
our service department that fits into your production schedule to eliminate
possible production delays. Once an
appointment is scheduled, you can ship the unit to our plant.
How long does it take?
Most maintenance can be performed in a week. In some cases, expedited requirements could
be handled in just a few days.
What is done to the units?
Each unit is disassembled and each component is
inspected for wear. Each unit will have
a report on items that are recommended for replacement. After any required repairs are completed,
each unit is cleaned, repacked with grease and reassembled ready to be put back
into service.
What is the cost?
The model 3000 and 3100 have an inspection charge of
$400.00 and the model 6000 and 6100 have an inspection charge of $650.00. In addition to these charges, any parts that
are recommended for replacement would be charged as well. No parts will be replaced without prior
authorization from the customer. Most
units generally would require the bearings replaced and some bushings. Total maintenance including inspection,
bearing and bushing replacements usually costs approximately $ 1200.00 for 3000 series models,
$ 2000.00 for 6000 series models, $ 1500.00 for 3100
series models and $ 2200.00 for 6100 series models. These estimates are based on single spindle
units. Multi-spindle and other special
units will generally be higher.
