Maintenance Tips
- Clean the table, spoilboard, and full cutting area after every job to prevent dust, resin, and chip buildup.
- Regularly vacuum linear rails, ball screws, and gantry components to protect precision motion systems.
- Lubricate X/Y/Z ball screws and linear guideways on a scheduled basis to ensure smooth, accurate motion.
- Inspect spindle system (air or liquid-cooled depending on configuration) for stable operation and proper cooling performance.
- Clean ER20 collets and tool holders frequently to reduce runout and maintain cutting accuracy.
- Resurface the MDF spoilboard as needed to ensure a flat, consistent machining surface.
- Verify machine calibration, tool probing, and zero points before precision or production runs.
- Inspect cable chains, wiring, and connectors for wear, dust ingress, or looseness.
- Tighten frame and gantry fasteners periodically to reduce vibration and maintain machining precision.
- Maintain an efficient dust collection system to protect electronics and mechanical components.
- Monitor spindle noise, vibration, and temperature for early detection of wear or cooling issues.
- Keep the machine in a dry, temperature-stable environment to prevent corrosion and electrical faults.
