1Maintenance and Maintenance of Numerical Control Equipment
Numerical control equipment is a general name for automatic equipment and systems controlled by a computer. Numerical control equipment is widely used in many industries such as mechanical engineering, die and mould, automotive, shipbuilding and aerospace. To ensure the efficient operation of numerical control equipment and prolong its service life, daily maintenance and maintenance of numerical control equipment is essential.
A systematic maintenance plan should be established and strictly followed to ensure that the performance of the machine will remain within the specified range. The maintenance plan should include: daily, weekly, monthly and annual maintenance. All activities should be recorded in the maintenance log.
1: Daily maintenance
Daily maintenance of numerical control devices should include cleaning and checking the dust on and around the machine, as well as monitoring the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment. Some parts of the machine, such as moving parts and wiring, also need to be checked to ensure that everything is working properly.
2: Weekly maintenance
Weekly maintenance should include checking for any wear on cutting tools, replacing broken or damaged parts, finding and solving any mechanical and electrical problems, and thoroughly cleaning the numerical control machine and its working environment.
3: Monthly maintenance
Monthly maintenance includes lubrication of all moving parts, ensuring that all components are in place, tightening and adjusting any loose screws, and an overall check of the machine and its environment.
4: Annual maintenance
Annual maintenance should include a full system check and a replacement of any parts that need to be replaced. All wear points must be checked and all electricals should be tested.
Proper daily, weekly, monthly and annual maintenance of the numerical control equipment is essential in order to ensure that it functions properly and is able to run efficiently. A properly maintained machine will extend its service life and reduce the chances of costly breakdowns. Two factors affect the success of any maintenance plan: the quality of the maintenance routine and the quality of the components and spare parts used. In order to ensure that maintenance is performed as reliably as possible, it is important to use only quality spare parts and components.
