Maintenance Works That You Can Do Yourself
Annual periodic
maintenance in CNC machines unquestionably extends the life of the
machine and prevents the costs that may incur. In addition, there are controls
and maintenance works that should be done daily and weekly by the
operator. For CNC Machining Centers, these are basically as
follows;
Before
Starting:
- Check
the outside of the machine, there should not be anything that may cause
damage during the operation of the machine,
- Check
whether there is any problem in the moving part, work table, trolleys,
- Add
anti-oxidation protective oil against the risk of oxidation in the spindle
cone and wipe off the added oil before the next operation,
- Check
whether the Pull Stud is fully tightened,
- Check
the guide oil level in the oil measuring chamber and add if necessary,
- Check
the spindle cooler and clean the air filter if necessary,
- Check
the air pressure and adjust if necessary (6kg/sq.cm),
- If your machine equipped with a hydraulic unit, check the oil
level.
After Daily
Operation:
- Clean the protective covers of the axes, check that these covers
are not deformed and damaged.
- Clean
the chips inside the machine every day,
- Do
not leave any tools in the spindle before closing the machine,
- After
the machine’s operation is finished, ensure that the axes are lubricated
by running them full length in idle mode.
- Pay
attention to the axis and spindle sound, check whether there is an
abnormal situation,
- Check
the air pressure,
- Check
the spindle cooler and axis guide oils,
