What should I do after finishing the work in the machining center?

2023-12-22

Generally speaking, the machining process procedures of traditional machine tools in machining centers are roughly the same. The main difference is that the machining center completes all cutting processes continuously and automatically through one clamping. Therefore, the machining center must perform some “ Aftermath work”.

1. Carry out cleaning. After the machining center completes the cutting task, it is necessary to promptly remove the chips, wipe the machine tool, and keep the machine tool and the environment clean.

2. When inspecting and replacing accessories, first pay attention to checking the oil wiping plate on the guide rail. If it is worn, replace it in time. Check the status of the lubricating oil and coolant. If turbidity occurs, replace it in time. If the water level is lower than the scale, add more.

3. The shutdown procedure must be standardized, and the power supply on the machine tool operation panel and the main power supply should be turned off in sequence. In the absence of special circumstances or special requirements, the principles of returning to zero first, manual, inching, and automatic should be followed. The machining center should also operate at low speed, medium speed, and then high speed. The low-speed and medium-speed operation time shall not be less than 2-3 minutes without any abnormality before starting work.

4. Standardize the operation. Do not knock, straighten or correct the workpiece on the chuck or at the tip. The workpiece and tool must be confirmed to be clamped before proceeding to the next step. The insurance and safety protection devices on the machine tool must not be disassembled or moved at will. The most efficient processing is actually safe processing. As an efficient processing equipment, the operation of the machining center must be reasonably standardized when shutting down. This is not only to maintain the current completed process, but also to prepare for the next start of work.
