Industrial Equipment|A Complete Guide To The Maintenance Of Machining Center Equipment That The Factory Must Pay Attention To!

Steps to Maintain Machining Center Equipment

Machining center equipment is an essential part of any manufacturing process. It is necessary to ensure that it is well-maintained to ensure the proper functioning of the equipment. In this guide, we will go through the steps that your factory must take to maintain machining center equipment.

 

Step 1: Daily Cleaning

 

The first step to maintaining machining center equipment is to ensure that it is clean. Daily cleaning involves wiping down the surfaces of the equipment to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated during the day. This will prevent any buildup that may interfere with the proper functioning of the equipment. It will also help to prevent any wear and tear on the equipment that may occur if it is not cleaned regularly.

 

Step 2: Lubrication

 

The next step to maintaining machining center equipment is to ensure that it is properly lubricated. Lubrication is important because it helps to reduce the friction between the moving parts of the equipment. This, in turn, helps to prevent wear and tear on the equipment. It is important to use the correct lubricant, as using the wrong one may cause damage to the equipment. Your factory should also establish a regular schedule for lubrication to ensure that it is done on a consistent basis.

 

Step 3: Inspection

 

Inspection is an essential part of maintaining machining center equipment. Your factory should establish an inspection schedule to ensure that all aspects of the equipment are checked regularly. This includes checking the belts, gears, and motors, as well as inspecting the wiring and other components. Any issues that are identified should be addressed promptly to prevent any damage to the equipment or a decrease in its performance.

 

Step 4: Calibration

 

Calibration is essential to ensure that the machining center equipment is functioning as it should. Calibration involves adjusting the equipment to ensure that it is working within the specified parameters. Your factory should establish a regular schedule for calibration to ensure that it is done on a consistent basis. This will help to prevent any issues with the equipment and ensure that it is operating at an optimal level.


Correct operation and maintenance of cnc equipment can prevent abnormal wear and tear of machine tools and avoid sudden failure of machine tools. Careful maintenance of the machine tool can maintain the long-term stability of the machining accuracy of the machine tool and prolong the service life of the machine tool. This work must be highly valued and executed from the management level of the factory! The intelligent digital factory of the yongucase factory was launched, using 60 cnc equipment and machinery to precisely process the electronic aluminum casing. Click to view the industry 4.0 factory to learn more. Good machining equipment should be well maintained, the following is the daily maintenance of our factory

Responsible person for maintenance

1. The operator is responsible for the use, maintenance and basic maintenance of the equipment;

2. Equipment maintenance personnel are responsible for equipment maintenance and necessary maintenance;

3. The workshop management personnel are responsible for supervising the operators and equipment maintenance of the entire workshop.

▌ basic requirements for the use of cnc equipment

1. The numerical control equipment is required to avoid places with moisture, excessive dust and corrosive gases;

2. Avoid direct sunlight and other heat radiation, and precision cnc equipment should be kept away from equipment with large vibrations, such as punching machines, forging equipment, etc.;

3. The operating temperature of the equipment should be controlled between 15 degrees and 35 degrees. The precision processing temperature should be controlled at about 20 degrees, and the temperature fluctuation should be strictly controlled;

4. In order to avoid the influence of large fluctuation of power supply (greater than plus or minus 10%) and possible instantaneous interference signals, cnc equipment is generally powered by a dedicated line (such as a separate channel from the low-voltage power distribution room for cnc machine tools), and a voltage stabilizer device is added. Etc., can reduce the influence of power supply quality and electrical interference.

 

▌ daily machining accuracy maintenance

1. After the machine is turned on, it must be preheated for about 10 minutes before processing; the preheating time should be extended for machines that are not used for a long time;

2. Check whether the oil circuit is smooth;

3. Place the table and saddle in the center of the machine before shutting down the machine (move the three-axis travel to the middle of the travel of each axis);

4. Keep the machine tool dry and clean.

▌ daily maintenance

1. Clean the dust and iron filings of the machine tool every day: Including the machine tool control panel, spindle taper hole, tool car, tool head and taper shank, tool magazine tool arm and tool magazine, turret; xy axis sheet metal shield, machine tool inner flexible hose, tank chain device, chip chute, etc.;

2. Check the lubricating oil level to ensure the lubrication of the machine tool;

3. Check whether the coolant in the coolant tank is sufficient, and it is not enough to be added in time;

4. Check whether the air pressure is normal;

5. Check whether the air blowing in the inner taper hole of the spindle is normal, wipe the inner taper hole of the spindle with a clean cotton cloth, and spray light oil;

6. Clean the knife arms and knives of the knife magazine, especially the knife claws;

7. Check whether all signal lights and abnormal warning lights are normal;

8. Check whether there is leakage in the oil pressure unit pipe;

9. The machine tool should be cleaned after the daily work is completed;

10. Keep the environment around the machine clean and tidy.

11.11. After operating the aluminum panel, aluminum enclosure parts, etc., it needs to be placed neatly and classified

▌ weekly maintenance

1. Clean the air filter screen of the heat exchanger, the filter screen of the cooling pump and the lubricating oil pump;

2. Check whether the tool pull bolt is loose and the knife handle is clean;

3. Check whether the three-axis mechanical origin is offset;

4. Check whether the movement of the tool changer arm of the tool magazine or the rotation of the tool magazine of the tool magazine is smooth;

5. If there is an oil cooler, check the oil cooler oil, if it is lower than the scale line, please add oil cooler oil in time;

6. Clean the impurities and moisture in the compressed gas, check the oil amount in the oil mist separator, check whether the solenoid valves of various circuits work normally, and check the tightness of the pneumatic system, because the quality of the pneumatic system directly affects the tool change and lubrication system;

7. Prevent dust and dirt from entering the cnc device. There are generally oil mist, dust and even metal powder in the air of the machining workshop. Once they fall on the circuit board or electronic device in the cnc system, it is easy to cause the insulation resistance between components to drop, and even lead to damage to components and circuit boards. .

▌ monthly maintenance

1. Check the lubrication of the shaft track, and the track surface must be well lubricated;

2. Check and clean limit switches and bump blocks;

3. Check whether the oil in the oil cup of the knife cylinder is sufficient, and if it is insufficient, add it in time;

4. Check whether the signs and warning nameplates on the machine are clear and exist.

▌ semi-annual maintenance 

1. Disassemble the shaft anti-chip shield, clean the shaft oil pipe joint, ball lead screw, and three-axis limit switch, and check whether it is normal. Check whether the effect of the hard rail wiper blades of each axis is good;

2. Check whether the servo motor and head of each axis are running normally and whether there is any abnormal sound;

3. Replace the oil of the hydraulic unit and the oil of the deceleration mechanism of the tool magazine;

4. Test the clearance of each axis, and adjust the compensation amount if necessary;

5. Clean the dust in the electric box (make sure the machine tool is turned off);

6. Comprehensively check whether all contacts, connectors, sockets and switches are normal;

7. Check whether all keys are sensitive and normal;

8. Check and adjust the mechanical level;

9. Clean the cutting water tank and replace the cutting fluid.

▌ annual professional maintenance or repair

 Note: Professional maintenance or repairs should be carried out by professional engineers.

1. The grounding protection system should have good continuity to ensure personal safety;

2. Regularly check the essential components such as circuit breakers, contactors, single-phase or three-phase arc extinguishers. If the wiring is loose or the noise is too loud, find out the reasons and eliminate hidden dangers;

3. Ensure the normal operation of the cooling fan in the electric cabinet, otherwise it may cause damage to the vital components;

4. The fuse is blown and the air switch is frequently tripped. The cause should be found and eliminated in time;

5. Check the vertical accuracy of each axis and adjust the geometric accuracy of the machine tool. Restore or meet the requirements of the machine tool. Because geometric accuracy is the basis for the overall performance of the machine tool. For example, the poor verticality of xz and yz will affect the coaxiality and symmetry of the processed workpiece, and the poor verticality of the spindle to the table surface will affect the parallelism of the processed workpiece, and so on. Therefore, the restoration of geometric accuracy is the focus of our maintenance;

6. Check the wear and clearance of the motor and the screw of each axis, and check whether the support bearings at both ends of each axis are damaged. When the coupling or bearing is damaged, it will increase the noise of the machine tool, affect the transmission accuracy of the machine tool, damage the cooling seal ring of the screw, lead to leakage of cutting fluid, and seriously affect the life of the screw and spindle;

7. Check the protective cover of each axis and replace it if necessary. The protective cover is not good to directly accelerate the wear of the guide rail. If there is a large deformation, it will not only increase the load of the machine tool, but also cause greater damage to the guide rail;

8. The straightening of the lead screw directly affects the machining accuracy of the machine tool due to the deformation of the lead screw caused by some users after the machine tool collides or the gap between the plug and iron is not good. We first loosen the lead screw to make it in a natural state, and then install the lead screw in accordance with the maintenance procedures to ensure that the lead screw is free from tangential force as much as possible during movement, so that the lead screw is also in a natural state during processing;

9. Check and adjust the belt drive system of the machine tool spindle, properly adjust the tightness of the v-belt to prevent the machine tool from slipping or losing rotation during processing, replace the spindle v-belt if necessary, and check the 1000r/min spindle high-low gear conversion pressure belt the amount of oil in the wheel cylinder. If necessary, add it, the lack of oil will cause the failure of the low-grade conversion, seriously affect the surface roughness during milling, and reduce the cutting torque;

10. Cleaning and adjustment of the tool magazine. Adjust the rotation of the tool magazine so that it is parallel to the table surface, replace the retaining spring if necessary, adjust the angle of the spindle orientation bridge and the rotation coefficient of the tool magazine, and add lubricating grease to each moving part;

11. Prevent the system from overheating: It should be checked whether each cooling fan on the cnc cabinet works normally. Check whether the air duct filter is blocked. If there is too much dust accumulation on the filter screen, if it is not cleaned in time, it will cause the temperature in the cnc cabinet to be too high;

12. Regular maintenance of the input/output device of the cnc system: Check whether the machine tool transmission signal line is damaged, whether the interface and joint screws and nuts are loose and falling off, whether the network cable is inserted stably, and the router is cleaned and maintained;

13. Regular inspection and replacement of dc motor brushes: Excessive wear of dc motor brushes will affect the performance of the motor and even cause damage to the motor. For this reason, the motor brushes should be regularly inspected and replaced, and cnc lathes, cnc milling machines, machining centers, etc., should be inspected once a year;

14. Regularly check and replace the storage battery: Generally, the cmos ram storage device is equipped with a rechargeable battery maintenance circuit in the numerical control system to ensure that the content of its memory can be maintained when the system is not powered on. In general, even if it has not failed, it should be replaced once a year to ensure that the system is working properly. The replacement of the battery should be carried out under the power supply state of the cnc system to prevent the information in the ram from being lost during replacement;

15. Clean the electrical components in the control cabinet, check and tighten the fastening status of the terminals; clean and clean the cnc system control modules, circuit boards, fans, air filters, heat sinks, etc.; clean the internal components, circuit boards, fan, check the tightness of the connector.
