Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines are essential tools in modern manufacturing and machining. These precision instruments can perform complex tasks with incredible accuracy. However, like any machinery, CNC machines require regular maintenance to ensure they operate efficiently and reliably. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore 15 essential tips for CNC maintenance to keep your equipment in optimal condition.

Chapter 1: Daily Maintenance

Cleanliness is Crucial Maintaining a clean CNC machine is paramount. Dust, chips, and debris can lead to performance issues and wear on critical components.
- Start each day by blowing away chips and dust with compressed air.
- Wipe down surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth.
- Ensure that coolant and lubrication systems are clean and free from contamination.
Inspect Toolholders and Workholding Devices Check toolholders, collets, and workholding devices daily for signs of damage or wear. Replace any components that appear compromised to maintain precise tool alignment.
Lubrication Most CNC machines require regular lubrication. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for a lubrication schedule and be precise in your application. Over- or under-lubrication can lead to problems.

Chapter 2: Weekly Maintenance

Examine Way Covers and Bellows Way covers and bellows protect critical machine components from contaminants. Inspect them weekly for damage or leaks and replace any compromised parts to prevent issues.
Spindle and Taper Maintenance Clean the spindle and taper thoroughly, removing debris or buildup. Inspect for wear and have them professionally serviced or replaced if necessary.
Check Electrical Connections Regularly inspect all electrical connections, wires, cables, and connectors for wear or loose connections. Reliable electrical connections are crucial for CNC machine performance and safety.

FANUC Alarm Codes – A06B-6066 Drives – Alarm 5

April 3, 2018March 5, 2020 Brian Hughes Leave a comment

The following is a list of procedures to fix the Alarm 5 status on your drive:

If you are receiving the alarm after a fresh install of the drive, check to make sure all jumpers and wires are set in their correct position. You can find the location for these inside your user manual.
Make sure the drive is off. Check the resistances on the drive, and then test the voltage. If it has been powered up recently, you can then turn it on to check the voltage again. However, do not immediately turn it back off to check the resistances again. You must give it at least 30 minutes for the voltage to return to safe levels so that you can check again.
To check the voltage, you can test the DC voltage of the jumper attached between screws 17/18 and 19.
Using your ground on screw 19 and and the red lead on the other two screws, your reader should say anywhere from .003 to .006 volts.
To check the resistance, remove the jumper from screws 15/16 and then tighten the screws. Use an ohm reader to make sure the resistance isn’t OPEN.
Check the resistance between screws 17 and 18. If it is 16 ohms that is where you want it to be.
