CNC machines are the most helpful
factor in processes, where high-precision manufacturing is required.
The question here is, 'Can design of
the machine alone provide quality manufacturing or the knowledge of
man-behind-the-machine also makes a difference?'
Both have their own importance or we
can say both are interlinked. Knowledge of the employee cannot do anything, if
machine is not designed or maintained properly; in the same way, no matter how
amazing is the machine, it is of no use if the man handling it does not know
how to use the machine and maintain CNC machine tools.
The focus here is on right maintenance
of the CNC machines. As per a report of a National Survey by Indian Machine
Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA), the biggest hurdle in front of the CNC
machine users is to control the downtime of devices. There is a dire need of
introduction of upgrading methods to optimize the usage of the machines in
order to get increased productivity.
There are different machine tools in
CNC machines like drills, lathes, electrical discharge machining machines
(EDMs) and milling machines, which ensure right functionality of the machine.
The machine maintenance includes right placement and usage of all these
tools. CNC lathe machine is a machine that is used
for cutting, sanding, drilling or deforming. To remove the debris, cutting
fluid is used, which also works as a lubricant during cutting process. So to
ensure precise and effective cutting or knurling process, you should properly
lubricate the machine tools.
In order to ensure that your machine
works effectively and gives maximum output, you need to optimize every stage of
the production process. Whether it is roughing, semi-finishing, finishing or
contour milling, every step needs to be monitored carefully. You should also
check out that the tools work properly and fix the problem immediately to
control it increasing in the future. One of the best ways to minimize such kind
of risks is to buy CNC machine tools from reliable supplier in
India.
You can also follow some maintenance basics
like:
- Establishing a schedule
- Hire an experienced supervisor
- Training operators at regular intervals
- Periodic testing of the machines
