Do you know the usage conditions of a regular lathe

Sep. 15, 2023

The normal use of an ordinary lathe must meet the following conditions: the power voltage fluctuation at the position where the lathe is located is small, the ambient temperature is below 30 degrees Celsius, and the relative humidity is less than 80%.


1. Requirements for machine tool location environment


The position of the machine tool should be away from the vibration source, avoid direct sunlight and thermal radiation, and avoid the influence of moisture and airflow. If there is a vibration source near the machine tool, anti vibration trenches should be set up around the machine tool. Otherwise, it will directly affect the machining accuracy and stability of the machine tool, resulting in poor contact of electronic components, failure, and affecting the reliability of the machine tool.


2 Power Requirements


Generally, an ordinary lathe is installed in a machining workshop, which not only has significant environmental temperature changes and poor operating conditions, but also has a variety of mechanical and electrical equipment, resulting in significant fluctuations in the power grid. Therefore, the installation position of an ordinary lathe requires strict control of the power supply voltage. The fluctuation of power supply voltage must be within the allowable range and remain relatively stable. Otherwise, it will affect the normal operation of the CNC system.


3 Temperature conditions


The ambient temperature of an ordinary lathe is below 30 degrees Celsius, and the relative temperature is less than 80%. Generally speaking, the CNC control box is equipped with an exhaust fan or a cooling fan inside to maintain the working temperature of electronic components, especially the central processing unit, constant or with minimal temperature difference changes. Excessive temperature and humidity will lead to a decrease in the lifespan of control system components and an increase in malfunctions. The increase in temperature and humidity, as well as the increase in dust, can cause bonding on integrated circuit boards and lead to short circuits.


4. Use the machine tool according to the instructions


Users are not allowed to arbitrarily change the parameters set by the manufacturer in the control system when using the machine tool. The setting of these parameters is directly related to the dynamic characteristics of various components of the machine tool. Only the gap compensation parameter values can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
