Summer heat and continuous high temperatures always make people feel uncomfortable, and in severe cases, heatstroke may occur. Therefore, we need to pay special attention and take measures to prevent it. In fact, many machines and equipment that work in high temperature and humid environments for a long time, if not properly protected and maintained, will also have some temper tantrums, and even lead to strikes. And like our articulated arm measuring machine, although it can work continuously in high temperature environments, considering some special situations during summer use, in order to better protect the equipment and extend the service life of the machine, there are still some precautions worth paying special attention to:
1. Pay attention to the temperature during device use
When the articulated arm is used outdoors, it should be avoided from long-term exposure to sunlight to avoid accelerating the aging of equipment, including cables and other accessories, thereby extending the overall service life of the machine; Avoid moving the equipment to a cooler air conditioning room immediately after use at high temperatures to prevent condensation on the surface of the equipment, damage to electrical components, and the occurrence of short circuit faults; Operators who work in high temperature environments for a long time are also prone to lack of concentration, so special attention should be paid to protecting the equipment to avoid equipment collisions and other issues.
2. Pay attention to humidity issues and prevent moisture
The equipment should be used in a dry and ventilated environment as much as possible. High humidity environments can easily affect the service life of the equipment, and metal components such as screws are also prone to corrosion and rust; If the device has not been used for a long time in a humid and hot environment, it should be dried first and not immediately powered on. If the situation is more serious, a large amount of desiccant can be placed in the instrument box for dehumidification treatment;
3. Pay attention to accuracy issues
The body of KREON's articulated arm measuring machine is made of carbon fiber material, so the measurement data can be guaranteed to be true and reliable at different temperatures. However, due to the use of different materials in the measured parts, attention should be paid to thermal expansion and contraction during measurement, which may affect the measurement results. Like some metal parts, they will expand when the temperature rises. If measured at high temperatures without temperature compensation conversion, the measurement results will be biased. When encountering such situations, do not worry about suspecting that the equipment is faulty. Instead, analyze calmly and consider comprehensively. For parts with particularly high precision requirements, measurements can be considered in testing rooms with air conditioning.
4. Pay attention to electrical safety
Due to the hot weather and high electricity consumption in summer, power supply systems often operate at high loads. If the voltage is unstable, special attention should be paid to electricity safety. This can be achieved by using a regulated power supply, installing UPS, or directly using equipment batteries to avoid damage to the equipment; When using the articulated arm, an independent socket should be used, and the power input should be grounded. At the same time, it should be avoided to use it with other high-power devices to avoid voltage instability when it is turned on.
5. Lightning protection treatment
In some areas during summer, there are more thunderstorms. When thunderstorms occur, equipment should be avoided as much as possible. It is best to shut down and remove the power cord, network cable, and Wifi receiver to avoid damage to the equipment.
6. Pay attention to computer usage security
Continuous high temperatures can also have an impact on computers, making it easy to slow down or even crash. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly let the computer rest and do a good job of cooling the computer; In summer, the air is humid and hot, and there is a lot of dust that is easily adsorbed. Therefore, it is advisable to use the computer in a dry and ventilated environment as much as possible to avoid the fan from inhaling a lot of dust, which may affect the normal use of the computer; When using the device, it is advisable to avoid placing beverages next to the laptop to prevent them from flipping over, splashing the keyboard, and entering the computer; If the above situation has occurred, the device should be immediately shut down, the battery removed, and dried before use;
7. Daily maintenance and upkeep of equipment should be strengthened
When using equipment in summer, more attention should be paid to its maintenance and upkeep. In addition to regularly checking the usage of each component, the equipment should also be cleaned after use. You can first wipe the surface of the equipment with alcohol, then dry the surface with non-woven paper or a dry cloth, and then place the equipment in the instrument box; The equipment should be placed in a dry and ventilated environment. When the equipment is placed in an air-conditioned room from a high temperature environment, the instrument box should be opened to prevent moisture from the surface of the equipment from escaping.
