Proper maintenance is the single most important factor in extending your CNC machine’s life. A well-maintained MAXIMA machine can reliably produce parts for 15+ years.
Daily Maintenance (Before & After Each Shift)
- Check lubricant levels – Verify spindle oil, way oil, and hydraulic fluid
- Clean the work area – Remove chips and debris from worktable and chip pan
- Inspect tool holders – Check for wear, cracks, or buildup
- Run warm-up cycle – 5-10 minutes at operating speed before production
- Verify coolant condition – Check concentration (5-10% for synthetic coolants)
Weekly Maintenance
- Clean spindle taper – Use lint-free cloth and alcohol
- Inspect way covers – Check for damage and leaks
- Check machine level – Use precision level on X and Y axes
- Empty chip pan – Complete cleaning of chip conveyor
- Test tool changer alignment – Run test tool change
Monthly Maintenance
- Replace coolant – Drain, clean, and refill
- Clean filters – Replace air, oil, and hydraulic filters
- Check spindle runout – Should be less than 0.002mm
- Lubricate linear guides – Apply manufacturer-recommended lubricant
- Backup parameters – Save all offsets and programs
Quarterly Maintenance
- Inspect spindle bearings – Check noise and vibration
- Calibrate axis positioning – Use laser interferometer
- Check belt tension – For belt-driven spindles
- Clean cabinet – Clean electrical connections and fans
- Inspect foundation – Check anchor bolt tightness
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Unusual vibrations or noises
- Changes in surface finish
- Dimensional accuracy degrading
- Spindle temperature above 45°C
- Leaking fluid or coolant
