What it covers

The production machine checks.

How often: daily or weekly

Before start-up

  • Check guards and interlocks are in place
  • Test the emergency stop
  • Check lubrication and coolant levels
  • Look for leaks, loose parts or damage

While running

  • Listen for unusual noise or vibration
  • Check pressures and temperatures on gauges
  • Clean chips, dust and debris from the work area
  • Record any alarms or faults

These are common checks to start from. Your machine’s manual and the safety rules for your site come first, so add or change checks to match them.

From the field

Tips for a better check.

  • Test the emergency stop at the start of the shift, before the first part runs.
  • Write down alarm codes exactly as they appear. They are the quickest way to find the cause.
  • Clean as you check. Chips and dust hide leaks and cracks.

Operators do a short check at the start of each shift. Maintenance does fuller planned service weekly, monthly or by running hours, as the manufacturer says. Machines that run all day often need daily lubrication checks.
