Embedding is a very important process in the preparation of metallographic specimens, especially for some specimens that are difficult to handle, small, irregularly shaped, require edge protection, or require automatic polishing. Embedding is an essential process. Therefore, it is necessary to extend the service life of the metallographic inlay machine. It is very helpful for improving the working environment, improving work efficiency, enhancing the laboratory image, and optimizing the sample preparation process.

    So, how can we extend the service life of the metallographic inlay machine?

    1. The electrical parts of the metallographic inlay machine should be waterproof, moisture-proof, anti-corrosion, and rodent proof. Ensure that the electrical control box and wiring terminals are clean to prevent electrical faults.

    2. When cleaning the exterior of the machine, please unplug the power plug, do not use cleaning fluid or kerosene, only use a damp cloth to clean the machine.

    3. Do not place the device on an unstable surface, as falling it may cause serious damage.

    4. Regularly add oil lubrication to the meshing points of each gear, bearings, and various moving parts. (The refueling work can be carried out by the manufacturer's personnel.)

    5. Timely remove debris falling on the equipment to ensure accurate and accurate operation of electrical components and mechanical components.

    6. After using the metallographic inlay machine, there may be residual heat in the body. Be careful to avoid burns.

   7. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the inlay machine. If repairs are needed, a qualified repairman should be consulted for repairs. Opening or removing the cover can expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards. Improper reassembly may result in electric shock during future use.

    8. If there is a conflict between the usage rules and security information, comply with the security information; If you are unable to resolve the conflict, please seek assistance from the seller or service organization.

    9. Regularly clean the internal cavity of the machine. After using the equipment for a period of time, the internal cavity of the machine should be opened to remove impurities such as embedded materials that have fallen inside the machine, in order to avoid accumulating too much and affecting the operation of the equipment. (This work can be carried out by personnel sent by the manufacturer.)

    Alright, that's all for today's introduction and maintenance of the metallographic inlay machine. If you have any other questions about metallographic equipment or metallographic sample preparation, please visit the official website of QMAXIS www.qmaxis.cn for direct technical exchange with our engineers, or visit the QMAXIS testing laboratory in Nanjing for on-site testing.
