Safety First, Stability Always

Post-Earthquake Safety Inspection Guide: Ensuring the Safe Operation of Your Equipment and Factory

After an earthquake, even if there are no visible damages, hidden risks could still impact production. As a professional lathe manufacturer, we understand how crucial equipment precision and factory safety are to maintaining stable operations. Here is a comprehensive post-earthquake inspection guide to help customers quickly assess their equipment and factory conditions to ensure safety and stability.

1. Key Points for Equipment Inspection

1.1 Calibration and Operation of Precision Machines

Earthquakes may cause slight shifts in machinery, affecting accuracy. We recommend the following checks:

• Verify the alignment of the spindle and tools on lathes and machining centers using micrometers or dial gauges.
• Check the straightness of slides and guide rails, ensuring smooth operation without abnormal noise or jamming.
• If deviations are detected, contact a maintenance engineer for recalibration to prevent processing errors.

1.2 Structural and System Stability

• Inspect the machine base, frame, and bolts for looseness, cracks, or tilting.
• Ensure the lubrication and cooling systems are free of leaks or blockages and functioning correctly.
• Test the electrical system to confirm cables and connections are secure, preventing potential short circuits or power outages.

2. Inspection of Products Under Assembly

For lathes and other equipment still under assembly, we recommend:

• Checking for cracks, dents, or signs of deformation on the exterior.
• Ensuring all parts and components are firmly installed and wiring is correctly connected to avoid safety hazards.
• Conducting basic functionality tests to guarantee stable performance before final delivery.

3. Factory Environment Safety Inspection

3.1 Stacked Materials in Storage

• Ensure that materials stored in the warehouse are stable and secure to prevent toppling.
• Check for any bending, deformation, or damage to storage racks and reorganize stacking as necessary.

3.2 Inspection of Lifting Equipment

• Examine cranes, hoists, and other lifting systems for stability and conduct load tests to ensure operational safety.

3.3 Floor and Wall Structures

• Inspect factory floors for cracks, bulges, or uneven surfaces.
• Examine walls, particularly load-bearing ones, for signs of cracks or structural damage.

4. Safety Equipment and Emergency Facilities

• Fire Safety Systems: Check if fire extinguishers, hydrants, and automatic sprinklers are functioning correctly.
• Emergency Exits: Confirm that escape routes are unobstructed and that emergency lights and exit signs are operational and clearly visible.
