11. Maintenance and maintenance of equipment 11.1. Maintenance 1) If you do not understand the machine or electrical appliances or do not have authorization, please do not make any changes, otherwise it may cause malfunction or damage. 2) Please turn off the power first during maintenance. If live inspection is required, professional electricians must perform it.
time. The purchased machine tools must be put into production as soon as possible. If the CNC machine tool is idle for too long, the electronic components will get damp. Accelerate the degradation or damage of its technical performance. Therefore, when the machining center is idle for a long time, the CNC system should be maintained regularly.
idling, that is, do not put the plate, and the three axes Break-in. 11.3. Other maintenance 1) The vacuum pump suction filter needs to be cleaned daily to prevent debris from entering the vacuum pump. 2) The vacuum pump outlet filter needs to be cleaned once a week. 3) The degree of contamination of the vacuum pump oil should be tested every two months.
