Product Definition and Uses

The customized machine way wiper is a highly adaptable slide rail protection component specifically designed for non-standard slide rails and special track structures. It is primarily used in metal cutting equipment such as traditional machine tools, CNC lathes, and machining centers. Its main function is to effectively prevent metal chips and cutting oil from entering the slide rail or dovetail seat structure during equipment operation, avoiding contamination that could cause slide rail wear, decreased accuracy, and abnormal movement, thus extending the overall service life of the equipment.

Compared to standard way wipers, the customized machine way wiper can be completely customized according to the track type, size, and structural characteristics, making it particularly suitable for dovetail seat slides and equipment with special track designs.

In what situations is it appropriate to use a customized machine way wiper?

In practical machine tool and equipment maintenance, the customized machine way wiper is particularly suitable for the following situations:

1. The slide rail is of non-standard size or has a special cross-section.

2. The dovetail way structure cannot be installed with standard way wipers.

3. Severe contamination from a mixture of cutting oil and metal shavings.

4. The need to simultaneously ensure scraping effectiveness and structural strength.

5. The maintenance requirements for a small number of diverse equipment.

6. The desire for long-term protection design based on the equipment's lifespan.

These way wipers are design-guided protective components and can be incorporated into the overall slide rail protection strategy during the design phase.
