If you choose a trusted CNC machine shop Vancouver, such as Aptech Precision Machining Inc, then you can ensure that the parts will be reliable and durable for a long time. We take CNC maintenance very seriously and it is a core tenet of our business to ensure that we provide quality every time.
Here are some easy tips from our professional team to better maintain your CNC machining equipment:
CNC machining needs hydraulic fluid and lubricants and these fluids should be checked daily to find out what the machine requires, when, and how much. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual to understand what the machine needs, what the fluid levels and pressure should be. Each machine is different and the driving components may need varied solutions. Make sure your CNC machines aren’t using fluid faster than they should. If they are, you may have a leak, which can cause abnormal wear on the parts.
If you use your CNC machine daily, then scrap materials and grime will begin to build up over each production run. Instill in your professionals that they should, provide your precision machining tools a good wipe down after each use, which will keep your machines running smoothly and keep them looking brand new. Any debris will get wiped off and away from the moving components, saws, lasers, buttons, etc. This debris and residue can cause issues and cost you money to repair if you end up with jammed mechanical parts.
You want to ensure that your professionals use grease to make allow for frictionless motion to increase the CNC machine’s life. Checking the machines and moving components is a good way and an easy procedure you can build into your weekly routines with your team. Check the manual and use the grease type accordingly. If you see anything out of the ordinary, contact a repair shop immediately, before proceeding with production.
We hope these tips help you in maintaining your CNC machines to their maximum efficiency. For more details on a CNC precision machine shop, contact Aptech Precision Machining Inc. today.
