The solution for operators of CNC machines is predictive maintenance. This requires regular monitoring of operating parameters and maintaining detailed records. For example, vibration analysis should be monitored and recorded at appropriate intervals, perhaps quarterly or even monthly. View Full Article
The solution to getting higher performance and extended life from spindles on CNC machines is a combination of practices aimed at (1) preventing premature spindle failure and (2) after a failure occurs, insisting that the remanufacturer provides not only comprehensive CNC spindle repair services but can also provide modifications and operational recommendations that can ensure […]
For most manufacturers, the productivity of their CNC equipment can be measured in fractions of seconds, including not only the cutting or grinding cycle times, but even the intervals between tool changes. The performance of the spindle — the workhorse of the CNC machine — has a tremendous impact on that productivity.
When high-performance equipment such as a CNC spindle underperforms or fails, the owner of that machine can have a million dollars worth of equipment that is essentially out of business or producing substandard products. Clearly, it is critical to get the spindle repaired or replaced in order to get it back up and running – […]
