2.6 Control grinding feeds to obtain required wheel profile and finish.
2.7 Measure wheel to ensure diameter of back and front edges are equivalent.
2.8 Measure wheel profile to ensure grinding has achieved required profile.
|
|
3. Reassemble band mill wheel
|
3.1 Remove grinder and base plate from band mill when grinding is complete.
3.2 Reassemble band mill components to manufacturer's instructions.
3.3 Set up band saw on mill to specified alignment.
3.4 Test band saw and mill to ensure correct operation.
3.5 Remove isolation padlocks or tags at completion of work in line with safety procedures.
3.6 Dispose of unserviceable wheels in line with organisational procedures and environmental protection practices.
3.7 Identify routine processing and equipment faults and resolve or report to appropriate personnel.
