  1. Cnc Machine Maintenance: What Is It Important? Maintenance of CNC machines could be a bit tedious when compared with other tasks that go into managing an operation shop. A malfunctioning machine could cost the owners of businesses thousands of dollars of lost revenue and repair costs. In these moments of frustration it can be maddening. It is inevitable to have breakdowns with many mechanical parts moving and sophisticated equipment. However, a short consistent checklist and long term preventative plan can help reduce the risk of costly stoppages. Check out this site to find out additional resources about CNC Machine. Daily Maintenance of CNC Machines These are the "apples a day" that will keep your CNC machine tools away from the emergency room for your machine. These are easy steps, and they work. It is possible to spot problems before they escalate into major failures by performing a few inspections at the end of every day. The machine tool specialists at Absolute Machine Tools advise the following routine for maintenance on a daily basis: Be sure to check the fluids CNC machines require adequate fluid levels, like lube and hydraulic fluid. You can establish an established baseline by working with your machines to figure out the frequency that fluids must be replaced. Check your machines if they start to use fluid at a greater frequency. A high level of fluid use could indicate problems. Give them grease Grease is the smooth operator that keeps all working parts moving and grooving. While the majority of machine shops do not check grease points daily We suggest checking all moving parts for dry spots. A quick shot of grease goes far in cutting down on wear. Renew with a Rag Clean the entire surface to give them a bit of shine. This is done by cleaning off the shop grime. Wiping the machine down daily will prevent small metal shavings from accumulating up in damage-prone areas such as the way cover seals. Spring Cleaning of Milling Machines and Lathes When performing a thorough spring cleaning on the milling equipment: You should make sure that the machine tool's enclosure is in good condition, and all chips are removed from the ballscrew and underside covers. Basically, perform a full-enclosure cleaning!

  2. Check that all lubricants are operating at a normal level and are functioning correctly. Make adjustments to the tool changer's automatic mechanism so that it continues to change tools flawlessly with no jams or hang-ups. Complete a thorough inspection of the spindle and drivetrain to make sure there aren't any contaminants that could be detrimental to the longevity of the spindle. To avoid unplanned or untimely downtime, and to prevent compromising a part of cutting processes, inspect spindle belts to ensure tension and oil. It is suggested to run a ballbar test to check the alignment and circularity of the machine's planes. If you are performing a thorough spring cleaning on your lathes: Indicate the lathe's turret as well as the tailstock and headstock alignment in order to ensure the highest accuracy and tool life. Verify that all lubricants remain at normal levels and functioning properly. Make fine adjustments to the turret so as to avoid jams, hang-ups, or indexing problems. Verify the hydraulic system for dirt and contamination. Examine the actuator for chip build-up. To avoid unexpected or inconvenient downtimeand to avoid the risk of compromising components during cutting examine spindle belts to determine tension and wear. Test the ballbar to check for accurate circularity and alignment of the XZ planes. Preventative Maintenance Program Preventative maintenance plans (PMPs) are crucial to ensure shop machines remain in operation and make money. Routine maintenance can increase output efficiency, increase uptime and improve profitability margins. Are you still skeptical? Test this out for yourself Unplanned breakdowns of CNC machines typically cost five times more expensive than the annual PMPs. PMPs are the best option for maintenance. PMP is the most efficient option for machine maintenance since it reduces time and cuts down on wasted hours. Absolute Machine Tools offers three levels of PMPs, sure to fit any shop budget and can be performed on any brand. Our Gold Premier Package comprises a 15-point checklist that is designed to ensure the health of CNC machines for a long period of service. The Gold PMP is the benchmark for elite maintenance. It assures precision, reliability, and part integrity. The Silver package is a 13-point program that covers all the major extended service needs as well as the Bronze package provides 10 high need checks for businesses with a lower budget.
