PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE for your CNC’s is vital to preventing costly and unexpected downtime. In fact, the cost of unexpected downtime can be up to 5 times the cost of a Preventative Maintenance plan! PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE BENEFITS • Increase / Maintain Profitability by Avoiding Unplanned Downtime • Reduce Scrap Due to Wear Related Changes in Accuracy and Alignment • Extend the Useful Life of Your Machine • Maintain the Resale Value of Your Machine • Maintain ISO Certifications PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE DAILY CHECKS The success of any effective preventative maintenance program are the daily checks.  Doing a few minor checks at the start and end of each day or shift can help catch a minor issue before it becomes a major problem.  We recommend the following daily maintenance checks: • Check all those fluids and fluid levels such as such as lube, hydraulic fluid and chiller fluid levels.  Excessive fluid use (or too little) can be a sign of a problem.   • Check for rust or dry spots where it should be greasy; hit all grease points with a couple of shots. • Check your coolant using a refractometer to determine proper concentration to avoid corrosive damage    • Blow chips off of moving parts like way covers and door glides to reduce the chance of seal, wiper, and bearing damage.
