CNC lathe manufacturers describe the five major equipment failures that often occur during lathe operation

During the operation of CNC lathes, sometimes we may encounter faults of all sizes. Sometimes these faults can occur without the need for shutdown, and sometimes they require immediate shutdown for treatment. However, we need to use our experience and technology to determine the cause of the faults and provide solutions. Let us, the CNC lathe manufacturer, explain the five major equipment faults that often occur during lathe operation.

1. CNC system malfunction

The CNC system is the brain of CNC lathes, which includes both hardware and software aspects. CNC system malfunction is the most common problem of CNC lathes, and after a malfunction occurs, the CNC system may not function properly or the quality of work may decrease. For this situation, it is generally necessary to check whether the CNC system program is correct, whether there are loose or damaged plugs, cables, etc. In addition, it is also necessary to check whether the power supply is normal and whether there are voltage stabilizer faults and other issues.

2. Tool wear

The tool wear of CNC lathes is a common problem. As the tool usage time increases and the types of materials processed vary, the tool will wear out. At this point, it is necessary to replace the cutting tools in a timely manner, otherwise it will affect work efficiency and machining accuracy.

3. Loose bracket

The bracket of a CNC lathe is a load-bearing structure that supports the cutting tool and workpiece. If the bracket is loose, it will affect the machining accuracy and quality. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly inspect the CNC lathe bracket to ensure its stability and accuracy.

4. Bearing

failureBearing failure is one of the common faults in CNC lathes. CNC lathes require continuous high-speed rotation during operation, and if bearings fail, it will cause the machine to malfunction. To avoid this situation, it is necessary to regularly inspect the bearings and replace damaged bearings in a timely manner.

5. Incomplete cleaning

CNC lathes often require cleaning during use. Incomplete cleaning will lead to a decrease in machine efficiency and unstable processing quality. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure thorough cleaning and use professional cleaning agents and methods during cleaning.

The above are the five major equipment failures that frequently occur during the operation of CNC lathes compiled by our CNC lathe manufacturer. I hope it will be helpful for everyone in using CNC lathes in the future.
