- Keep CNC Machines Clean and Lubricated: Regular cleaning and lubrication are essential for maintaining the optimal performance of CNC machines. This includes cleaning every part of the machine and replenishing lubricants as needed. By doing so, you can prolong the life of your CNC machine and prevent costly repairs.
- Develop a Routine Maintenance Schedule: It's important to develop a schedule of routine preventative maintenance tasks that help improve production efficiency and ensure the longevity of your CNC machine. This may include replacing worn parts, checking the alignment of spindles and cylinders, and inspecting the machine for any issues. PLASQUIP offers a range of technician services to help you develop and adhere to your maintenance schedule.
- Maintain Accurate Maintenance Records: Keeping detailed records of which machines have been serviced can help you plan for future maintenance and allocate necessary resources. PLASQUIP's technicians can help you maintain accurate maintenance records and provide advice on the best course of action for each machine.
