Why does annual scheduled maintenance pay off?



Più Increased safety for your machine tools

Numerical control machines play a central role in modern smart factories that have embraced the benefits and challenges of Industry 4.0. Affinché However, they must function optimally in order to consistently perform at their maximum capacity. Otherwise, there is a risk of unforeseen production slowdowns, machine downtime and, in some cases, even severe damages and financial losses. How can we prevent these risks? By scheduling an annual electronic and mechanical check-up. Performing scheduled preventive maintenance on your CNC machines means safeguarding the well-being of your personnel and the entire production chain.

 

CNC machine check-up: a guarantee of savings

Resolving any malfunctions that may arise from prolonged use of a machine tool before they become major problems is not just a smart move but also a guarantee of savings. In fact, taking care of your CNC machines automatically benefits your company's bottom line. Regular check-ups result in minimising machine tool repair costs and times, while also alleviating frustrations and concerns.

 

The service you need, when you need it

Due to the wide range of multi-brand CNC machine tools available today, each with its own set of tools and capabilities, it is becoming increasingly important to rely on an expert partner to plan your periodic maintenance. With over 20 years of experience, Assistec provides mechanical and electronic support, including scheduled maintenance, for CNC machines, offering a comprehensive service tailored to your needs. From the overhaul of spindles and electro-spindles to the retrofitting of lathes and machining centres, up to the grinding of spindle cone directly on the machine, and much more!

    The history of CNC machines

    Numerically controlled (CNC) machines represent one of the most important technological innovations of the modern industrial era.

    Their ability to automate and standardise complex operations has changed the face of manufacturing, transforming craft processes into large-scale industrial precision systems.

    The spread of CNC machines has made it possible to reduce human error, increase productivity and, above all, guarantee repeatability of machining operations that would otherwise have been impossible. This has proved particularly crucial in sectors where precision, efficiency and speed are vital, such as aerospace, automotive, precision engineering and medical device manufacturing.

    One of the main reasons for the success of CNC machines is their ability to perform tasks with extreme precision that previously required the manual intervention of skilled workers.

    With CNCs, on the other hand, once the machining has been programmed, the machine can perform an infinite sequence of operations without loss of precision, solving problems of variability and improving the quality of the finished product.

    At this point, the question might arise: when did CNC machines originate and how did they reach this level of sophistication?

    The differences between traditional machine tools and CNC machines

    Conventional machine tools and computer numerical control (CNC) machines are both used for machining, but have significant differences in several key practical aspects.

    So, if you are wondering whether CNC machines are better than traditional ones or whether it is time to replace your machines with automated solutions, below you will find all the elements you need for an in-depth evaluation of the question.

    We have examined 7 evaluation criteria, making an objective judgement for each of them based on the practical applications of the machine type.

    What is a CNC lathe and how does it work?

    What is the CNC lathe and how does it work?

    The computer numerical control (CNC) lathe is one of the most advanced and precise tools in the field of machining. Its ability to perform complex machining operations with high precision and repeatability has, after all, revolutionised the manufacturing industry, significantly optimising production processes in many sectors. In the following lines, we will explore in detail how the CNC lathe works, analysing its main components, the programming process and practical applications.

    We will also look at the interactions between hardware and software, the types of tools used and how machining parameters are controlled, to summarise the potential of a technology that has become strategically relevant today.
