How to troubleshoot CNC lathes?

In modern manufacturing and processing, CNC lathes are used more and more widely. They are closely related to our lives in the automotive manufacturing industry, medical device industry, and electronic products industry. They also have many advantages that are different from manual lathes.

The following summarizes some of the advantages of CNC lathes of Shanghai Ants Machine Equipment Co., Ltd.:

1.High precision

CNC lathes can achieve high-precision processing, ensure the accuracy and consistency of workpiece dimensions, and are suitable for the manufacture of precision parts.

2.High efficiency

CNC lathes can process multiple workpieces continuously without frequent shutdown adjustments, which greatly improves production efficiency. At the same time, the use of automatic tool changers also reduces manual intervention time.

3.Versatility

CNC lathes usually have multiple functions, such as turning, drilling, milling, etc., which can be used for multiple purposes, reducing equipment investment and floor space.

4.High safety

CNC lathes have a high degree of automation, and operators do not need to touch tools and workpieces, reducing the risk of industrial accidents.

5.Cost saving

Although the initial investment of CNC lathes is high and operation learning is required, their high efficiency, high precision and low scrap rate can reduce long-term production costs and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.

Shanghai ANTS CNC lathe has a large customer base. However, some customers are worried about subsequent troubleshooting problems at the beginning of purchase. Next, the equipment engineer of Shanghai Ants Machine Equipment Co., Ltd. will briefly introduce the troubleshooting process of CNC lathes.

The following are some common troubleshooting steps:

1.Preliminary inspection

Power supply check: Confirm whether the power is on and whether the voltage is normal.

Emergency stop button: Make sure that the emergency stop button is not pressed.

Fuse and circuit breaker: Check whether the fuse and circuit breaker are intact.

2.System self-test

Start the self-test program: Most CNC lathes have a self-test program, which can detect some obvious faults after startup.

Diagnostic code: Check the fault code displayed by the CNC system and find the cause of the fault according to the manual.

3.Mechanical part inspection

Axes and guides: Check whether the axes and guides have foreign matter or wear.

Transmission device: Check whether the transmission devices such as belts, gears, and screws are normal.

Lubrication system: Confirm that the lubrication system is working properly and the amount of lubricating oil is sufficient.

4.Electrical part inspection

Motor and driver: Check whether the motor and driver are working properly, and whether there is any abnormal sound or overheating.

Wiring check: Make sure all wiring is correct and firm, without looseness or broken wires.

Sensors and switches: Check whether limit switches, photoelectric sensors, etc. are normal.

5.CNC system inspection

Program code: Check whether the processing program code is correct, whether there are syntax errors or logical errors.

Parameter setting: Confirm that the CNC system parameter settings are correct, including speed, feed rate, etc.

Software update: Confirm whether the CNC system software needs to be updated.

6.Troubleshooting

Replacement of parts: If damaged parts are found, replace them in time.

Please go through the above steps to effectively troubleshoot and ensure the normal operation and processing accuracy of the equipment. If there are complex problems or you cannot solve them yourself, please contact Shanghai Ants Machine Equipment Co., Ltd, and we will have professional engineers to answer you in detail.
