Cleaning your CNC vertical lathe is an important part of maintaining machine tool performance and extending its life. Here are some things to note:

1. Turn off the power: Before starting to clean the CNC vertical lathe, be sure to turn off the power of the CNC vertical lathe to ensure safety.
2. Use appropriate cleaning agents: Choose a cleaning agent suitable for the surface and components of the CNC vertical lathe, and avoid using strong acids, alkalis, or corrosive substances to prevent damage to the machine tool.
3. Remove chips and oil: Use a cleaning brush or air pressure blow gun to remove chips and oil deposited on the machine tool surface, cutting area and cavity. Be careful not to blow chips and oil to places where they should not be, so as not to affect the normal operation of the CNC vertical lathe.
4. Wipe the surface of the machine tool: Wipe the surface of the machine tool with a clean soft cloth or paper towel to remove dust and dirt. Stubborn stains can be treated with an appropriate cleaning agent.
5. Clean the coolant system: Regularly clean the coolant system, including water tanks, pumps, filters and other components, to ensure smooth flow of coolant and prevent impurity accumulation and contamination.
6. Maintain guide rails and ball screws: CNC vertical lathes use specified lubricants to lubricate and maintain guide rails and ball screws to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear.
7. Regularly check bolts and fasteners: Check whether the bolts and fasteners of the CNC vertical lathe are loose, and tighten them in time to ensure the stability of the machine tool structure.
8. Pay attention to details: During the cleaning process, pay attention to checking and cleaning dirt in hard-to-reach areas, small parts, and hidden parts to avoid affecting the performance and accuracy of the machine tool.

The specific cleaning requirements of each CNC vertical lathe may vary, and it is recommended to consult the CNC vertical lathe's operating manual or the manufacturer for more specific cleaning guidelines and recommendations before cleaning.
