Why Preventive Maintenance Matters on the COMA 567
The Amada COMA 567 turret punch uses a mechanical drive system that delivers consistent forming force. That mechanical advantage also means:
-
Components experience sustained load cycles
-
Turret indexing requires alignment precision
-
Lubrication consistency affects performance
Routine maintenance protects:
-
Punch accuracy
-
Die alignment
-
Turret rotation consistency
-
Drive system longevity
When evaluating a used Amada COMA 567, documented maintenance history significantly increases machine value.
Daily Maintenance Checklist
Operators should complete these basic checks:
-
Inspect punch and die condition
-
Verify lubrication levels
-
Check turret alignment indicators
-
Clean debris from turret stations
-
Inspect sheet clamps and guides
Daily attention prevents premature tooling wear and reduces downtime.
Weekly & Monthly Service Tasks
Technicians should perform scheduled inspections including:
-
Mechanical linkage inspection
-
Drive belt and motor alignment check
-
Turret indexing system verification
-
Electrical cabinet cleaning
-
Air system inspection
Consistent service improves long-term Amada turret punch maintenance outcomes and reduces unexpected stoppages.
For full operating procedures and diagrams, review the official Amada COMA 567 manual documentation.
Lubrication & Mechanical Integrity
The COMA 567 relies on proper lubrication to protect its mechanical drive assembly.
Insufficient lubrication can cause:
-
Increased friction
-
Irregular punching force
-
Turret misalignment
-
Accelerated component wear
Proper lubrication ensures that the 55-ton system delivers consistent forming pressure without strain on internal components.
Tooling Care & Turret Alignment
Tooling condition directly affects production quality.
Best practices include:
-
Regular punch sharpening
-
Die clearance verification
-
Station rotation monitoring
-
Proper tool seating inspection
A properly aligned turret reduces vibration and extends both tooling and machine life.
Shops that follow strict preventive service routines maintain higher part consistency and reduce scrap rates.
Electrical System & Control Inspection
While the mechanical structure defines the COMA 567, electrical systems control precision and efficiency.
Routine inspection should include:
-
Wiring integrity checks
-
Control panel cooling verification
-
Servo feedback inspection
-
Limit switch calibration
Legacy control systems may require modernization to improve diagnostics and operational stability.
When to Consider a Control Upgrade
Many COMA 567 platforms remain mechanically strong but operate with outdated control systems.
Modernizing the control provides:
-
Improved diagnostic visibility
-
Network integration
-
Reduced programming time
-
Enhanced accuracy
-
Better downtime monitoring
Instead of replacing a mechanically reliable platform, shops upgrade its intelligence.
Lapis integrates advanced Fanuc-based control systems specifically engineered for heavy mechanical platforms like the Amada COMA 567. A Lapis Fanuc retrofit extends machine life while increasing productivity.
Maintenance Impact on Resale Value
If you plan to sell or purchase an Amada COMA 567 for sale, documented maintenance history significantly affects valuation.
Well-maintained machines:
-
Command higher resale prices
-
Reduce buyer risk
-
Require fewer immediate repairs
-
Deliver faster production startup
Buyers searching for a used Amada COMA 567 prioritize machines with consistent preventive service records.
