Spindle Maintenance

()

 

For ensuring long-life and more stable to use cnc spindle, please pay attention to spindle maintenance as below:

 

1.    Change the water every three days;

2.    Lubricate cnc router spindle regularly;

3.    Keep bearing lubricative well and clean;

4.    Keep cnc spindle motor without water;

 

5.    Better not make router spindle work with long-time continuously and strong resistance;

(1)  Usually, spindle service life is in proportion to rotate speed;

That means the higher rotate speed, the shorter lifetime;

(2)  In considering spindle maintenance, there is no need to rotate in high speed if not necessary;

(3)  If temperature increases after long time working, it’s necessary to replace cooling water;  

 

6.    In normal use, machine spindle should be assembled every year for spindle maintenance;

(1)  Reassembly could guarantee bearing precision and longer lifetime;

(2)  In order to keep motor spindle in good working state, assembly and disassembly should meet the requirements:

   In clean working environment;

   Should be done by experienced professional operators;

   With appropriate tools;

   Not to knock at random;

 

7.    Spindle maintenance when change cnc bearing:

(1)  Should be changed by professional technicians;

(2)  Assort with special tools;

(3)  Should be washed completely;

(4)  No need to remove stator coil;

(5)  To prolong spindle life after bearing replacement, cnc spindle should not speed up until slow running for 8 hours in the rotational speed range;

 

8.    Spindle maintenance when spindle not used for a period of time:  

(1)  The working environment temperature is usually -10 ~ 40;

(2)  Spindle maintenance steps:

   First, the coolant in the water pipe should be blown with compressed air;

   It will prevent rust, freeze and blocking water pore;

   Should apply with anti-rust oil on:

a)  Machine spindle;

b)  Spindle sleeve;

c)  Spindle nose;

d)  Axle hole;

e)  Other accessories accordingly: router bits, router collets, nuts, etc; 

(3)  Require protection device in the axle head;

(4)  Put in the dry and cool place;

(5)  If reused, make router spindle no-load running for half hour before starting work;
