High-precision CNC machining center utilize digital numerical control technology to achieve efficient and precise machining of both metal and non-metal materials. They are not only precise and fast, but also possess intelligent control and multifunctionality, making them widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and new energy sectors. To ensure long-term, stable operation of the equipment, regular maintenance is essential.

CNC machining center


We now offer a systematic maintenance implementation plan:

1. Daily Inspection

Visual Inspection: Before starting the CNC machine daily, inspect the machine surface for visible physical damage, such as cracks or deformation.

Cleaning: Wipe the machine surface and worktable with a clean, soft cloth to remove dust and chips, especially on critical areas such as guideways, to prevent any impact on motion accuracy.


2. Lubrication System Maintenance

Automatic Lubrication: Verify that the automatic lubrication system is adequately lubricated and that the lubrication lines are unobstructed. Add lubricant according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule and check that lubrication points are functioning properly.

Manual Lubrication: For areas difficult to reach with the automated system, lubricant must be added manually to ensure adequate lubrication of all moving parts.


3. Cooling System Inspection

Coolant Level: Regularly check the coolant level and refill promptly to prevent dryness, which could lead to tool overheating and damage to the workpiece.

Filter Cleaning: Keep the coolant filter clean to prevent impurities from entering the circulation system and causing blockage or contamination.


4. Tool Management

Tool Condition Inspection: Each time a tool is changed, carefully inspect it for wear and replace it immediately if necessary to avoid compromising machining quality.

Tool Magazine Maintenance: Regularly clean the interior of the tool magazine to prevent dust and chips from accumulating and ensure smooth tool changes.


5. CNC System and Electrical Components

Parameter Backup: Regularly back up important parameter settings in the CNC system to ensure rapid recovery in the event of data loss.

Hardware Inspection: Check the operating status of the servo motor, drive, and other electrical components. Repair or replace any abnormalities promptly.


6. Precision Calibration

Geometric Accuracy Calibration: Calibrate the machine tool's geometric accuracy, including straightness, parallelism, and flatness, at the manufacturer's recommended intervals (usually annually).

Compensation Adjustment: Measure axial positioning accuracy using specialized tools such as a laser interferometer and adjust the corresponding compensation values based on the results.

By following these steps, high-precision CNC milling machine can effectively extend their service life and maintain optimal working conditions, thereby improving production efficiency, reducing operating costs, and ensuring consistent product quality.


FAQ

How often does a CNC machining center require comprehensive maintenance?

It is generally recommended to perform comprehensive maintenance and precision calibration annually, with routine inspections and lubrication required daily.

What should I do if the automatic lubrication system malfunctions?

Immediately stop the machine, check the lubrication system for oil levels, clear oil lines, and promptly repair or manually lubricate to prevent damage.

How do I determine if a tool needs replacement?

When a tool shows visible wear, chipping, or degrades in machining quality, it should be replaced promptly to maintain machining accuracy and efficiency.

What are the consequences of losing important CNC system parameters?

Parameter loss can cause the machine to malfunction or cause machining deviations. Regularly backing up parameters ensures data security and allows for quick recovery.

How often should the coolant be replaced?

Coolant should generally be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on frequency of use and degree of contamination. Keep the filter clean to ensure effective cooling.
