With the continuous development and expansion of China's printing industry, traditional prepress technology and prepress equipment have gradually been replaced by new processes and equipment. Today's prepress equipment, both mechanization and automation, has made great progress. If maintenance and management are not in place, the equipment will not operate, which will inevitably affect the printing process and not operate normally, resulting in economic losses. . In order to extend the life of various prepress equipment, it is important to perform the following maintenance tasks.
1. Classified management according to the function of the prepress equipment
To maintain and manage prepress equipment, the equipment should be classified first, and then according to the type of equipment, its working characteristics are targeted to develop maintenance plans and related management measures.
Today's prepress equipment, generally speaking, mainly has the following categories: 1 output equipment, mainly laser photo-distribution output machine and punching machine. 2 imposition equipment, imposition machine. 3 proofing equipment, mainly divided into traditional proofing machine and digital proofing machine. 4 printing equipment, mainly printing machine and plate machine. 5 direct plate making equipment, mainly CTP equipment. These devices, whether domestic or imported, have the same working principle and maintenance requirements. Just follow the requirements on the equipment manual and then according to the respective characteristics of the equipment, the maintenance plan can be formulated accordingly.
2. External measures to ensure the smooth maintenance of prepress equipment
2.1 Environmental control. In order for the maintenance plan to be truly implemented, the control of objective conditions is crucial. This mainly refers to the environment in which the prepress equipment is located. Since most of the prepress equipment is inseparable from liquid during normal operation, the developing equipment and developer solution are used for the output equipment, and the printing equipment is also used for development. Liquid and water are used for printing, not to mention the direct plate making equipment. Since prepress equipment is mostly composed of advanced electrical components and integrated circuits, it is particularly sensitive to temperature and humidity. Excessively high and too low temperatures and humidity can affect the service life of the equipment.
Another environmental factor that affects the proper functioning of prepress equipment is dust. Dust is a deadly enemy of all prepress equipment. A small amount of dust can stop the entire output device, which can cause the rubber roller of the film processor to be scratched and scrapped. Therefore, it is very important to clean the space of the equipment.
In order for the environment to be effectively controlled, the devices should first be separated by function to minimize the interaction between the devices. The second is to install air conditioning equipment, air conditioning equipment can not only ensure that the prepress workshop to achieve constant temperature and humidity, reduce the spread of dust. The most important point is that the scanners and laser heads inside the laser imagesetter and CTP equipment need to be operated under constant temperature conditions. Therefore, the air conditioning equipment should not only be installed but also normally opened, so as to ensure that the prepress equipment can work normally in a good environment.
2.2 Establish a pre-employment training system for equipment users. Pre-job training is a prerequisite for ensuring the normal operation of each prepress equipment. Some companies have felt that it is a headache when it comes to training. In fact, every company introduces a prepress equipment. The manufacturer will train the company's personnel who use this equipment for free in the process. In this process, the operator who is already familiar with the equipment will prepare the correct method and the main content of the maintenance of the equipment into a simple and detailed manual. Bind into a book, when the newly hired staff is ready to operate the equipment, the personnel must carefully read the operation manual, understand and be proficient after confirming the signature, and then the staff who have participated in the training of the new equipment to guide their specific operations, no Skilled, incompetent and determined not to operate on the machine. In this way, when the equipment accident is discovered later because the operator did not follow the requirements, the party was punished. In this way, the skilled employees bring new employees and continue to do so. The company has reduced a lot of slick training and put more energy into production.
3. The establishment and implementation of the system is the key to the implementation of equipment maintenance
3.1 The implementation of the measures is the key to management. Every printing company will definitely develop a lot of specific measures and implementation plans when it comes to the introduction of equipment. From the establishment of equipment files, to the appointment of special personnel management, the determination of responsible persons, etc., is very perfect and in place. However, abnormal damage caused by improper maintenance of the equipment may also occur. The main reason is that the pre-press equipment has different use characteristics and other equipment use characteristics. The pre-press equipment is often used by one person, such as a copy machine. , film machine, etc., as long as the people in the version of the room can be used, and the version of the room often works 24 hours, if the failure is not a big problem, sometimes in order to catch up with the task, usually the repairman is repaired Do not pursue the responsible person. In this way, the maintenance of the equipment cannot be realized at all.
To solve this problem, in addition to writing the name of the responsible person next to the equipment to enhance the sense of responsibility and supervision, you can also use the equipment integrity rate and rewards and punishments, not only the penalty, the monthly subsidy, such as equipment If there is a problem, the maintenance personnel will issue a maintenance report to the supervisor. If the maintenance is improper, the person responsible will be punished. If the person in charge changes, the person responsible should be changed in time.
3.2 Maintain in strict accordance with the maintenance procedures. The relevant operating procedures, daily cleaning and maintenance and lubrication system of each equipment are posted next to the equipment, and the responsible person is responsible for daily maintenance according to the regulations. For example, the punching machine should be regularly cleaned and developed, fixed and the water tank. The printing machine should refuel the air pump in time, etc., and must be carried out according to the instruction manual of the equipment. In fact, a lot of maintenance work can be done without downtime or downtime for a long time, mainly because the relevant personnel did not do as required. However, some maintenance work must be stopped for a long time to be maintained. For example, when the PS plate processor has to be shut down for maintenance for three months, it should be maintained on time and under the premise of scheduling production. Forget about maintenance, or just care about production and not want to maintain.
Most of the equipment in the prepress has to do a lot of work in terms of maintenance. As long as it is done during maintenance work, it is guaranteed to be in place to ensure quality. In this way, the performance of the equipment can be relatively stable, and the production of the enterprise can be carried out smoothly.
