Common troubleshooting of CNC machine tools

The CNC machine tool is a highly-technical and highly efficient automatic machine tool integrating machine, electricity and instrumentation. It integrates new technological achievements in various fields such as computer technology, automation technology, servo drive, precision measurement and precision machinery. Door emerging industrial control technology. Although different numerical control systems differ in structure and performance, they have their commonalities in fault diagnosis. Now let’s talk about general methods of fault analysis and maintenance of numerical control systems based on actual work.

Numerical control system fault maintenance is usually carried out in three steps: on-site fault diagnosis and analysis, fault measurement, maintenance and elimination, and system commissioning.

Fault diagnosis of CNC machine tools

The following principles should be mastered during fault diagnosis:

First outside then inside

The reliability of modern CNC systems is getting higher and higher, and the failure rate of the CNC system itself is getting lower and lower, and most of the failures are caused by non-system itself. Since the CNC machine tool is a machine tool integrating mechanical, hydraulic and electrical, the occurrence of its failure will also be reflected by the three comprehensively. Maintenance personnel should first conduct investigations one by one from the outside to the inside. Try to avoid arbitrarily unpacking and disassembling, otherwise it will enlarge the fault, make the machine lose its precision and reduce its performance. The faults outside the system are mainly caused by problems with detection switches, hydraulic components, pneumatic components, electrical actuators, and mechanical devices.

Mechanical first, electrical

Generally speaking, mechanical faults are easier to detect, while the diagnosis of CNC system and electrical faults is more difficult. Before troubleshooting, first pay attention to troubleshooting mechanical faults.

Static first, dynamic

First, in the static state of the machine tool when the machine is powered off, through understanding, observation, testing, and analysis, it is confirmed that the machine tool will not be energized after the power is turned on. In the running state, conduct dynamic observation, inspection and testing to find faults. If a destructive failure occurs after power-on, the danger must be eliminated before power-on.

Simple first, complex

When a variety of faults are intertwined and there is no way to start for a while, the easy problems should be solved first, and the more difficult ones should be solved later. Often after simple problems are solved, difficult problems may become easier.
