How To Maintain CNC Cutting Machine?
CNC machining takes a life time to learn and therefore, you should never think that you know it all. With new situations and developments, you will require new adaptation techniques. So, keep on learning the entire time and be curious to be an expert.
Overheating: CNC Cutting Machine can reach more than 150 degrees Fahrenheit on the inside. So while you are working constantly, the filters can get clogged with dirt and debris and eventually push temperatures even higher. Therefore, have a regular schedule for clearing dirt and dust from your AC units and filters. Otherwise you might have to pay for some serious damage to your CNC machine.
Burns on the Outside Edge: Though this is not much of a trouble, you either have a blunt tool or too low of a feed speed. First, you need to verify that the speed used for speed is appropriate while you are cutting, you can examine the tool as well. In case you are using the wrong tool. You can replace it with a sharper one to increase the feed speed.
Chatter: Chatters vibrates during the cutting process and that can happen to either your entire machine or just its tool. It can harm the quality of work and reduce the durability of your tool drastically. To prevent chatter from happening, simply make sure your cut width or depth keeps deflection below 1/1000th of an inch. It can also work if you slow down the pace of the machine.
Renew with a Rag: Wiping the CNC Cutting Machine regularly is the best option clearly. Also keep the smaller metal shavings from building up in damage-prone areas such as the way cover seals. A quick shot of grease goes a long way to reducing unwanted wear. Wipe down all the surfaces to show a little shine by cleaning away the shop grime.
