The Importance of Year-Round CNC Maintenance

CNC maintenance plays a critical role in reducing machine downtime, mean time to repair (MTTR), and mean time between repairs (MTBF). Machine Tool Technologies can perform year-round maintenance to ensure your machine is running smoothly.

CNC maintenance can be divided into:

 Daily maintenance

At the beginning of the work-day, running routine CNC maintenance checks can ensure your machine is ready for work throughout the day. This includes CNC services such as:

• Testing hydraulic fluids and checking to ensure pressure is at the right level
• Checking the cooling system
• Checking coolant levels
• Checking the lubricant level and replenishing as required
• Greasing dried out rotating parts
• Cleaning the chip removal systems
• Wiping down all surfaces

Bi-annual maintenance

MTT machine specialists offer half-yearly CNC maintenance checks to ensure there are no potential failures to your valuable equipment. Some of the CNC services performed include:

• Draining and refilling the cooling system
• Cleaning the coolant tank and removing sludge, oil and chips
• Draining and replacing the hydraulic fluid
• Replacing filters
• Cleaning the radiator and radiator fin alignment
• Machine calibration
• Inspection and replacement of damaged wipers

Annual Maintenance

At MTT we also perform yearly CNC maintenance checks that ensure your machine performs at optimum levels. Yearly CNC service includes:

• Checking the headstock and tailstock for any tapering
• Spindle analysis
• Checking turret inclination and parallelism
• Axis gibs adjustments where necessary

Year-round CNC maintenance ensures your machine is running smoothly and keeping up with your customers’ demands.

 The Importance of CNC machine repair services

CNC machines are critical to the success of your productivity. MTT provides trained CNC maintenance specialists providing different levels of service that will keep your machine running effectively.

CNC machine repair services are an important part of preventing breakdowns also referred to as Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). Unplanned failures can cost you losses in unmet orders, wasted hours, employee wages, and costs of repair.

When using MTT’s CNC machine repair services, you are assured of a boost in output efficiencies, increased machine uptime, and profit margins giving you a competitive edge on global scale.

Routine CNC machine maintenance ensures effective management of production targets while preventing unplanned downtime.

By scheduling your CNC maintenance, service, and repairs at the most convenient time, you can avoid forfeiture in income occurring from loss of production. Scheduled maintenance also gives you the added benefit of planning for any expenditure that may occur and spreading it into smaller manageable payments.
