Here are the most common issues with CNC Machines
Fixtures & Chucks
Sometimes the fixtures and chucks can not accurately hold the machined part. When this happens, vibrations and unwanted movement can happen which can ultimately lead to extreme damage.
Overheating
When you have a CNC machine that is almost constantly running, overheating may occur. Obviously, any basic function of a machining process will cause heat as a natural result, but proper care and maintenance are required to ensure the machine remains healthy overall. In order to try to prevent damage from happening, keeping your machine clean is extremely important. This includes eliminating excess metal chips/shavings from surrounding areas because they can contribute to overheating. Overheating can also be a result of running a machine at high RPMs as well.
Operator Error
Many times crash and damage to the CNC machine result from operator error. This is usually because of inadequate training. Proper knowledge of the overall machine and machining processes is crucial to avoiding this type of problem.
Incorrect tools
In order to complete a successful machining process, the correct cutting tools and settings should be in place. If this is not done properly, overall damage to the finished products may occur. Damage could include rough edges, burn marks throughout, and visible marks all around the piece.
