What should we do if CNC lubrication system alarms

The lubrication system can guarantee the normal operation of the CNC machining centre, which is an important part of the CNC equipment. A good lubrication system can improve the machining accuracy of the machine and extend the life of the CNC equipment. What should we do if the lubrication system alarm occurs when we are using the CNC machine to process workpieces?

     First, we can manually check whether the pressure can reach the demand value. If the pressure gauge shows that the pressure is too low, it is usually because the oil pipe is leaking or the oil pump filter is too dirty to cause a poor over oil. At this point we can check the external filter. It should also be noted that oil mixing or low temperature lubrication system will also alarm.

    The second possibility for the lubrication system alarm is that the parameters are not set properly. If we set the oiling interval too long, the oil pressure can not rise to a sufficient value, the lubrication system will also alarm. In this case we can shorten the oiling interval and extend the time to detect the oil pressure (usually 500ms shorter than the oiling time), the alarm problem will be solved.

    Therefore, we need to check the lubrication system and the status of the pressure gauge in time, often clean the lubrication system strainer, replace the lubricant and unclog the oil circuit.

    In addition, when using CNC equipment, we also need to check the air system in time, clean the air filter to avoid gas pressure leakage. And the operator should check each fastening part of the transmission parts, if found bad parts operator should promptly replace the bad parts.
