The key points of daily maintenance of small CNC vertical lathes include the following aspects:
1. Regular cleaning: Small CNC machines should regularly clean the machine tool body, workbench, fixtures, tools, etc., wipe them with a soft cloth, and avoid using acidic or corrosive cleaners to prevent damage to the machine tool. At the same time, the coolant tank and slideway must be cleaned, and the coolant must be replaced in time.
2. Tool maintenance: Since CNC vertical lathes mainly process workpieces through cutting, it is necessary to regularly check the wear of the tools and replace worn tools in a timely manner. At the same time, the accuracy of the size and shape of the tool must be maintained to ensure the quality of the processed workpiece.
3. Lubrication and cooling: Check the working condition of the oil pump on the small CNC vertical lathe to ensure that there is enough lubricating oil in the bedside box and feed box. The lubricating oil in each box must not be lower than the center of each oil mark. In addition, small CNC vertical lathes should lubricate each lubrication point according to specified requirements, and clean the oil filter copper mesh at the oil inlet of the bedside box every week to ensure that the lubricating oil is clean.
4. Safety protection: When operating a CNC vertical lathe, you must pay attention to safety and take corresponding protective measures, such as wearing protective glasses and gloves, to avoid splash or cutting injuries caused by the operation of the machine tool. At the same time, the area around the small CNC vertical lathe should be kept clean and tidy to prevent foreign matter from entering the inside of the machine tool.
5. Start-up and shutdown inspection: Before each start-up of a small CNC vertical lathe, the machine should be run at low speed for a period of time, and horizontal and vertical tool feed tests should be performed to check whether the transmission parts are operating normally. After shutting down, the machine should be cleaned and all parts wiped to ensure they are clean and free of debris.
6. Maintenance before, during, and after work: In accordance with the requirements for daily inspection of small CNC vertical lathes, carry out inspection and maintenance work before, during, and after work, including checking oil level, oil volume, and machine operation. And perform necessary lubrication work, etc.
To sum up, the daily maintenance of small CNC vertical lathes involves many aspects, from cleaning, lubrication, tool maintenance to safety protection, etc., which all require regular inspection and operation. Correct maintenance methods for small CNC vertical lathes can ensure the normal operation of the machine tool, improve processing efficiency, and extend service life. Therefore, it is recommended that operators strictly follow maintenance requirements to perform daily maintenance and upkeep.
