Professional Polishing Machine Operating Guide: Safety Standards and Efficient Techniques

I. Core Points for Operating a Polishing Machine

Equipment Startup Standards

Ensure that the wheels are facing the operator (safe direction)

Start the machine at no load and bring it up to full speed (3000-5000 rpm) before processing the workpiece

Apply the polishing agent using the “dot application method” (apply evenly at 15 cm intervals)

Workpiece Positioning Techniques

Ensure the workpiece is aligned with the horizontal plane of the wheel shaft (deviation ≤ 2°)

Initial contact should be made at a 30° angle and gradually adjusted to prevent bouncing

Use specialized clamps during continuous operation (maintain pressure at 5–10 N)

II. Golden Rules for Using Polishing Wax
Issue Type    Correct Solution    Recommended Professional Tools
Insufficient wax    Preheat the wheel surface with a heat gun (60-80°C)    Infrared thermometer
Excessive wax    Use a copper wire brush to remove residual wax    Constant-temperature wax removal box
Uneven wax layer    Use a diamond dressing tool to dress the wheel surface    Wheel balancing instrument
III. Advanced Operation Techniques

Sharp Angle Treatment Solution

Prioritize pre-treatment with a multi-leaf wheel (#80-#120)

Use the “sandwich” polishing method:
Coarse wax → Medium wax → Fine wax in progressive transition
Replace the wheel for each process

Surface Finishing Process

Talcum powder treatment (filtered through a 200-mesh screen)

Non-woven fabric unidirectional wiping (along the grain direction)

Alcohol degreasing (industrial-grade 99.7%)

Ion wind dust removal

IV. Safety Warnings (Must Be Observed)

⚠️ Five Prohibitions:

Strictly prohibited from operating while wearing gloves (risk of entanglement)

Prohibited from using damaged polishing wheels (daily inspection required)

Do not exceed the equipment's rated power (check nameplate parameters)

If the workpiece temperature exceeds 50°C, stop the machine and cool it down

Immediately cut off the power supply if unusual noises occur

V. Equipment Maintenance Calendar

Daily: Wheel surface cleaning + bearing temperature inspection

Weekly: Spindle runout test (measured with a dial indicator)

Monthly: Motor insulation test (500V megohmmeter)

Quarterly: Dynamic balancing correction of the transmission system

Case Study: Proper operation can extend the lifespan of polishing wheels by 40% and reduce overall costs by 25%.
