Full availability and high-performance of your machine
Machine tool maintenance

A comprehensive maintenance plan ensures that wear parts are identified and replaced in good time. This does not only increase the service life of your machine, but also minimizes the risk of unplanned downtime. A basic distinction is made between preventive and reactive maintenance. The former is planned regularly and includes inspections and replacement of spare parts. Depending on the machine tool and environment, this is carried out at fixed intervals (e.g. every six months or annually). Regular maintenance work includes, among other things :

• Checking the machine functions for defects or signs of wear
• Checking the lubrication
• Inspection of the electrical system
• Replacement of wearing parts such as bearings, seals and filters
• Adjustment of guides to ensure precision

The reactive maintenance of a machine tool only takes place when required and is carried out after malfunctions, breakdowns or defects.

The frequency of machine tool maintenance varies depending on the intensity of operation, manufacturer's specifications and work processes. On the one hand, you should pay particular attention to what the manufacturer of your machine advises – at LEIFELD you will receive an introduction to your new machine and sufficient information on maintenance and care. You will always find this important information in your maintenance plan or operating instructions. Another important factor is the frequency of use: If your metal forming machine is used intensively, a shorter maintenance interval may be more appropriate than for systems that are only used rarely or moderately.

At LEIFELD, you do not only receive customized support, but also the security of a comprehensive all-round carefree agreement – depending on the service you choose. Our preventive maintenance ensures that your machines always function optimally. By using suitable spare parts in good time and ordering in advance, we reduce repairs to a minimum and increase process reliability at the same time. This does not only save you time and money, but you also benefit from longer machine availability and maximum performance. Rely on LEIFELD for the maintenance of your machine tools: for less downtime, greater efficiency and long-term investment protection.
