Common CNC errors and how to avoid them
As a professional five-axis CNC machining manufacturer, we understand the importance of precise and efficient machining. However, even with state-of-the-art equipment and experienced operators, CNC errors can still occur. In this article, we will discuss common CNC errors, the reasons, and most importantly how to avoid them.
Incorrect tool settings and alignment
Incorrect tool settings and alignment are some of the most common CNC errors. This can lead to poor surface effect, reduced tool life and even machine damage. To avoid this, make sure all tools are installed and aligned correctly before running. Verify tool settings using the dial indicator or the precision tool setter. Check and maintain tools regularly to prevent wear.
Fixed and insufficient swaying
Inadequate fixation and swaying can lead to partial deformation, material damage or complete failure of the processing process. To avoid this, use high-quality repair equipment and fixtures and make sure it is properly secured to the workpiece. Ensure that the fixing equipment is designed for the specific materials and geometry of the part being processed.
Insufficient cutting parameters
Inadequate cutting parameters will lead to poor surface effect, reduced tool life and increased cycle time. To avoid this, use a combination of appropriate cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth to ensure effective processing. Cutting parameters are regularly reviewed and adjusted based on partial geometry, tool wear and machine condition.
Incorrect processing strategy
Incorrect machining strategies can lead to surface finishes, partial distortion or machine damage. To avoid this, please plan the processing sequence carefully, and it is very easy to use simulation software or ask our team’s expert advice. Ensure that machining strategies are suitable for part geometry, materials and machine functions.
Inadequate maintenance and inspection
Inadequate maintenance and inspection can cause machine downtime, reduce productivity and increase costs. To avoid this, establish a regular maintenance schedule and conduct a thorough inspection of the machine and parts regularly. This will help detect and prevent potential problems before they become a major problem.
