1. In order to improve the service life of CNC equipment, the use environment of vertical machining centers should generally avoid direct sunlight and other thermal radiation, and avoid humid environments, excessive dust, or corrosive gases. We also need to keep precision CNC equipment away from equipment with high vibrations, such as punching machines and forging equipment.
2. Good power supply guarantee. In order to avoid the impact of large power fluctuations (greater than ± 10%) and possible instantaneous interference signals, CNC equipment generally needs to use dedicated power supply (such as a separate circuit from the low-voltage distribution room for CNC machine tools). It is best to add voltage stabilizing devices, etc., which can reduce the impact of power supply quality and electrical interference.
3. Develop effective operating procedures. In terms of the use and management of CNC machine tools, a series of practical and effective operating procedures should be developed. For example, lubrication, maintenance, reasonable use, and standardized handover system are the main contents of the use and management of CNC equipment in enterprises. Developing and adhering to operating procedures is one of the important measures to ensure the safe operation of CNC machine tools. Practice has proven that most faults can be reduced and avoided by following operating procedures.
4. Vertical machining centers should not be sealed for a long time. After purchasing a vertical machining center, it should be used in a timely manner, especially in the first year of use. Most weak links that are prone to malfunctions can be exposed, which can be eliminated during the manufacturer's warranty period. During processing, minimize the opening and closing of the CNC machine tool spindle as much as possible to reduce wear on components such as clutches and gears. If there are no processing tasks for a long time, the CNC machine tool should also be powered on regularly. The best way is to power on 1-2 times a week, running idle for about 1 hour each time. This can use the heat generated by the machine tool itself to reduce the humidity inside the machine, avoid damage to electronic components due to moisture, and also detect whether there is a low battery alarm in a timely manner to prevent the loss of set parameters in the system.
