The maintenance of CNC lathe mechanical components is a key link to ensure the normal operation of the machine tool and extend its service life. Here are some suggestions for maintaining the mechanical components of your CNC lathe:
1. Spindle part maintenance:
Lubrication: Proper lubrication of CNC lathes can reduce the friction coefficient of the spindle bearings, reduce the heat generated during operation, and reduce the degree of bearing wear. According to the running speed of CNC lathe bearings, choose the appropriate lubrication method, such as liquid oil circulation application or lubricant spray.
Cooling: CNC lathe spindle bearings will generate a lot of heat when running, so they must be cooled in time to prevent the bearings from being damaged by high temperatures.
Sealing inspection: Regularly check the sealing of the CNC lathe spindle components to ensure that external dust, debris, etc. will not mix into the spindle, and to prevent lubricating oil from leaking.
2. Maintenance of tool holder and transmission components:
Cleaning: CNC lathes regularly clean the chips in the tool magazine, the chips and oil on the tool handles and claws to ensure the cleanliness of the tool magazine.
Lubrication: CNC lathes lubricate the tool magazine transmission components and the spindle unclamping mechanism of the spindle, and apply high-quality grease to ensure the smooth operation of the transmission components.
2. Maintenance of three axes and shields:
Cleaning: When the CNC lathe is shut down for a long time, clean the chips in the three-axis guard, the chips and oil on the screw and guide shaft.
Anti-rust treatment: Carry out anti-rust treatment on the CNC lathe workbench and three-axis guard, dry them and apply anti-rust paste.
4. Inspection and adjustment:
Position adjustment: When the CNC lathe is stopped, move the three and four axes to the center position to ensure the accuracy of the machine tool.
Main drive chain maintenance: Regularly adjust the tightness of the CNC lathe spindle drive belt, check the constant temperature oil tank and temperature range of the spindle lubrication, and replenish the oil amount in time.
5. Sensor maintenance:
Installation inspection: Regularly check whether the bolts where the CNC lathe sensor is installed are loose.
Protection and cleaning: Avoid impact and collision of CNC lathe sensors during processing, and regularly clean the sensor contacts and wiring to avoid the impact of impurities and oil.
In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the maintenance of the CNC system and avoid taking improper measures, such as opening the door of the CNC cabinet to dissipate heat, which may lead to accelerated damage to the CNC system. At the same time, check and clean the air duct filter regularly to ensure that the temperature in the CNC cabinet is not too high.
To sum up, the maintenance of CNC lathe mechanical components involves many aspects, including spindle, tool holder, transmission components, three axes and guards, main transmission chain and sensors, etc. Through regular inspection, cleaning, lubrication and adjustment, the normal operation of the machine tool can be ensured and the service life can be extended.
