Daily Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Regular Cleaning: Depending on the frequency of use and the working environment of the etching machine, regularly clean the equipment surface using a soft cloth and use a small brush to clean small parts and hard-to-reach areas. This helps remove accumulated dust, debris, and contaminants, preventing them from damaging the equipment.

2. Avoid Using Alcohol for Cleaning: Since alcohol may corrode certain silicone seals on the equipment, avoid using it as a cleaner. Instead, choose a mild cleaner suitable for the material of the equipment.

3. Use Compressed Air: Use compressed air to blow away dust and impurities inside the equipment, keeping it dry and clean. This helps prevent dust accumulation from causing equipment failures.

Lubrication and Inspection

1. Regular Lubrication: Etching machines often have rotating parts that require regular lubrication to ensure smooth operation. Use an appropriate amount of lubricant suitable for the equipment's construction and usage conditions. Avoid using unsuitable lubricants that may cause failures.

2. Lubrication System Inspection: Regularly check the lubricant level and quality, ensuring it is clean and free of impurities. Additionally, inspect the lubrication system's pipes and connections for any leaks.

3. Calibration Check: After using new equipment or replacing components, perform a calibration check to ensure the equipment's accuracy. This helps ensure etching precision and product quality.

Component Replacement and Maintenance

1. Component Inspection: Regularly inspect equipment components for wear, aging, and damage. When issues are found, replace them promptly to prevent prolonged downtime.

2. Replace Worn Parts: For severely worn parts, such as polishing heads (e.g., in CMP equipment) or seals, replace them as required according to the equipment manual.

Environment and Maintenance

1. Keep the Equipment Environment Clean: Maintain a clean and dry environment around the equipment, avoiding use in damp, corrosive, or high-temperature environments. This helps reduce equipment failures and extends service life.

2. Dust and Moisture Prevention Measures: Internal components of the equipment are extremely sensitive to dust and moisture. Regularly clean dust filters and take necessary moisture prevention measures.

Safe Operation and Maintenance

1. Safe Operation: Before performing any maintenance work, ensure the equipment is stopped and the power is cut off to avoid accidents. Additionally, follow operating procedures and avoid direct contact with sensitive components.

2. Record Maintenance Information: After each maintenance task, record details such as the maintenance content, inspection results, and replaced components. This provides a reference for future maintenance work and ensures the equipment remains in optimal condition.

By following these maintenance methods, etching equipment can be kept in optimal operating condition, improving production efficiency and extending service life.
