The vertical lathe is one of the most widely used lathes on the market. Its main feature is that the workbench is placed on the column, making the entire structure more stable and more suitable for high-precision machining operations. The CNC vertical lathe is more high-end. It is equipped with a computer numerical control system, which allows operators to control it through a computer to achieve more efficient and precise processing. In CNC vertical lathes, the lubrication cycle is a very important part. Let’s learn about the lubrication cycle of CNC vertical lathes.

First of all, what is a lubrication cycle? The lubrication cycle is the period during which the lathe is lubricated at certain intervals during the machining process, which can effectively ensure the stability and accuracy of the lathe during operation. For CNC vertical lathes, the lubrication cycle must be well controlled to ensure normal operation.

Secondly, the length of the lubrication cycle is affected by many factors. The first is the performance of the lathe, including the speed of the spindle, the accuracy of the workbench, etc. These factors have a direct impact on the lubrication cycle. The materials and sizes of machine tool parts will also have a certain impact on the lubrication cycle. Finally, there are working environment factors, such as temperature, humidity, dust, etc. These factors will directly or indirectly affect the lubrication cycle of the machine tool.

So how to determine a reasonable lubrication cycle? Generally speaking, the manufacturer will stipulate the specific time intervals of the lubrication cycle in the instruction manual. We can perform lubrication operations according to the recommendations in the instruction manual, so as to ensure the normal operation of the machine tool to the greatest extent. However, it should be noted that if the performance of the processed object is relatively poor, more frequent lubrication may be required. In addition, there may be some abnormalities during the use of machine tools, such as rotor damage, bearing looseness, etc., which may affect the lubrication cycle. Therefore, when performing lubrication, it is best to be familiar with the parameters of the machine tool and always pay attention to the operation of the machine tool.

In summary, the lubrication cycle of CNC vertical lathes has a very important impact on the normal operation and machining accuracy of the lathe. To formulate a reasonable lubrication cycle, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors such as the performance of the machine tool itself and the material to be processed. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the abnormal conditions of the machine tool. We must always be cautious when performing lubrication operations to ensure that the machine tool can operate normally and maintain optimal machining accuracy.
