What to Do for CNC Machine Tool Maintenance During Spring Festival?

Guide to Maintenance of Machine Tools during Spring Festival

As the Spring Festival holiday approaches, machine tools will be idle for extended periods. To ensure stable operation during the break, timely troubleshooting and diagnostics should be conducted beforehand. This not only guarantees normal machine performance and extends service life but also enhances industrial efficiency and safeguards corporate profitability. SMTCL has compiled essential maintenance guidelines for machine tools during the holiday season.

Precautions for Year-End Shutdown

Cleaning/Rust-proofing/Moisture-proofing/Rodent-proofing

1. Clean the machine tool interior, worktable area, front and rear door slides, tool magazine interior, and the tool changer arm of chips.

2. Clean the chips from the external chip breaker.

3. Remove the tool from the spindle and clean the spindle end face, inner taper hole, and accessory head.

4. Remove, clean, and reinstall the air conditioning filter and oil cooler filter in the electrical control box.

Return to Position

1. Move the Y-axis of the CNC machine tool to the midpoint and reset the Z-axis to zero.

2. Turn off the main power switch of the machine tool, the transformer inlet switch, and the air supply.

Post-New Year Power-On Precautions

1. Inspection of machine tool power supply and air supply. Confirm the stability of voltage and air pressure, and connect the air hose after verifying the air quality (free from water and dust).

2. Inspect the electrical cabinet. Open the cabinet to confirm no condensation, no debris, and no signs of wiring damage.

3. Inspection of lubrication and hydraulic systems. Check whether the oil quality and liquid levels in all lubrication and hydraulic systems are normal, confirm the availability of lubricating oil and hydraulic oil coolant, and ensure timely replenishment.

6. Warm-up. After powering on the machine tool, release the emergency stop and allow the electrical components to warm up for 30 minutes.

7. Preheating. After warm-up, run idle for 1 hour, then slowly reciprocate each servo shaft for thorough lubrication. Start low-speed rotation of the spindle, gradually increasing both speed and rotation rate.
