The wear and tear of the DC motor brush needs to be paid close attention to. The transition of brush wear will affect the performance of the motor and may even cause motor damage. Therefore, the electric brush should be checked regularly and replaced in time. For CNC lathes, CNC milling machines, machining centres and other equipment, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive inspection once a year.

For long-term backup printed circuit boards and battery backup circuit boards, they should be replaced regularly. Install it in the CNC system for a period of time to prevent damage caused by long-term idleness.

II. Maintenance of mechanical parts

The maintenance of the spindle drive belt cannot be ignored. Regularly adjust the tightness of the belt to prevent the slipping of the belt. Skidding will not only affect the processing accuracy, but also lead to equipment failure.

Carefully inspect the smooth constant temperature tank of the spindle. Adjust the temperature range, ensure that the oil temperature is within the appropriate range, replenish the oil in time, and wash the filter regularly to ensure the cleanliness and lubrication effect of the oil.

After long-term use of CNC milling machine, there may be some problems with the spindle clamping device. For example, there may be gaps, which will affect the tool clamping. The displacement of the hydraulic cylinder piston should be adjusted in time to ensure that the tool clamping is firm and reliable.

Regularly inspect the condition of the ball screw thread pair. Adjust the axial spacing of the threaded pair to ensure the reverse transmission accuracy and axial stiffness. At the same time, check whether the connection between the screw and the bed is loose, and fasten it in time once it is found to be loose. If the thread guard device is damaged, it must be replaced quickly to prevent dust or chips from entering, causing screw damage.

III. Maintenance of hydraulic and pneumatic systems

Regularly maintain the hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Wash or replace the filter or filter to ensure the cleaning of oil and gas sources in the hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

Routinely check the quality of hydraulic oil and the working status of the pressure system. Change the hydraulic oil in time according to needs to ensure the normal operation of the hydraulic system.

Regularly maintain the air filter to prevent impurities in the air from entering the pneumatic system. At the same time, the accuracy of the machine should be checked regularly, and corrected and adjusted in time to ensure that the processing accuracy is always maintained at a high level.

IV. Maintenance in other aspects

The appearance of the CNC milling machine should also be cleaned regularly. Remove dust, oil and debris from the surface and keep the machine tools tidy. This is not only conducive to aesthetics, but also prevents dust and other impurities from entering the machine tool, affecting the performance of the equipment.

Regularly check whether the protective device of the machine tool is intact. The protective device can effectively protect the operator and the machine tool from accidental injury and damage, and must ensure its normal operation.

The guide rails, screws and other key components of the CNC milling machine should be lubricated regularly. Select the appropriate lubricant and apply or add it according to the prescribed time and method to reduce wear and extend the service life of the part.

Pay attention to the environment around the machine tool. Avoid using machine tools in humid, high temperature, dusty and other harsh environments, and try to create a good working environment for machine tools.

The training of operators is also crucial. Ensure that the operator is familiar with the performance, operation method and maintenance requirements of the machine tool, and operate in strict accordance with the operating procedures. Only by combining correct operation and careful maintenance can the efficiency of CNC milling machines be brought into full play.

Establish a perfect maintenance record system. Record the content, time and maintenance personnel and other information of each maintenance in detail for traceability and analysis. Through the analysis of maintenance records, the problems and hidden dangers of machine tools can be found in time, and targeted measures can be taken to solve them.

For some wearing parts and consumables, adequate spare parts should be prepared in advance. In this way, it can be carried out in time when it needs to be replaced, so as to avoid the downtime of the machine tool due to the lack of spare parts and affecting the production progress.

Regularly invite professional maintenance personnel to carry out comprehensive inspection and maintenance of machine tools. They have more professional knowledge and skills to find some potential problems and propose reasonable solutions.

Strengthen the daily inspection of machine tools. In daily work, operators should always pay attention to the operation status of the machine tool, and stop and check in time if they find abnormal situations, so as to avoid small problems turning into major failures.

Maintain close contact with CNC milling machine manufacturers. Keep abreast of the latest technology and maintenance methods of machine tools, and obtain technical support and after-sales service from manufacturers. When encountering difficult problems, you can consult the manufacturer in time for professional help.
