What preparations are required for the movement of the machining center and before operation?

As an efficient and precise mechanical processing equipment, machining centers have a series of strict requirements before movement and operation. These requirements not only affect the normal operation and processing accuracy of equipment, but also directly affect production efficiency and product quality.
1、 Moving requirements for machining centers
Basic installation: The machine tool should be installed on a solid foundation to ensure its stability and safety.
The selection and construction of the foundation should comply with relevant standards and requirements to withstand the weight of the machine tool and the vibrations generated during operation.
Position requirement: The position of the machining center should be far away from the vibration source to avoid being affected by vibration.
Vibration may cause a decrease in machine tool accuracy and affect machining quality. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid sunlight and thermal radiation to avoid affecting the stability and accuracy of the machine tool.
Environmental conditions: Place in a dry place to avoid the influence of moisture and airflow.
A humid environment may cause electrical failures and rusting of mechanical components.
Horizontal adjustment: During the installation process, the machine tool needs to be horizontally adjusted.
The level reading of ordinary machine tools shall not exceed 0.04/1000mm, while the level reading of high-precision machine tools shall not exceed 0.02/1000mm. This ensures the smooth operation and machining accuracy of the machine tool.
Avoiding forced deformation: During installation, efforts should be made to avoid the installation method that causes forced deformation of the machine tool.
The redistribution of internal stress in machine tools may affect their accuracy.
Component protection: During installation, certain components of the machine tool should not be removed casually.
Random disassembly may cause changes in the internal stress of the machine tool, thereby affecting its accuracy.
2、 Preparation work before operating the machining center
Cleaning and lubrication:
After passing the geometric accuracy inspection, the entire machine needs to be cleaned.
Clean with cotton or silk cloth soaked in cleaning agent, being careful not to use cotton yarn or gauze.
Apply lubricating oil specified by the machine tool to each sliding surface and working surface to ensure smooth operation of the machine tool.
Check the oil:
Carefully check if all parts of the machine tool have been oiled as required.
Confirm if there is sufficient coolant added to the cooling box.
Check whether the oil level of the hydraulic station and automatic lubrication device of the machine tool reaches the specified position on the oil level indicator.
Electrical inspection:
Check if all switches and components in the electrical control box are functioning properly.
Confirm whether each plug-in integrated circuit board is in place.
Lubrication system startup:
Power on and start the centralized lubrication device to fill all lubrication parts and lubrication pipelines with lubricating oil.
Preparation work:
Prepare all components of the machine tool before operation to ensure that the machine tool can start and operate normally.
3、 Summary
Overall, the movement requirements of the machining center and the preparation work before operation are key to ensuring the normal operation and machining accuracy of the machine tool. When moving the machine tool, attention should be paid to requirements such as foundation installation, position selection, and avoiding forced deformation. Before operation, comprehensive preparation work is required, including cleaning, lubrication, oil inspection, electrical inspection, and preparation of various components. Only by strictly following these requirements and preparing work can the advantages of the machining center be fully utilized, and production efficiency and product quality be improved.
In actual operation, operators should strictly follow the instructions and operating procedures of the machine tool. At the same time, regular maintenance and upkeep should be carried out on the machine tool to promptly identify and solve problems, ensuring that the machine tool is always in good working condition.
