AMEGINO has the expert technicians and innovative solutions necessary to maintain, repair, retrofit, and rebuild all types of metal-cutting machine tools for its clients. To keep CNC machines running optimally, our team addresses general wear and helps prevent unexpected downtime and costly delays with preventative maintenance. Alternately, when a problem arises, we respond quickly with field repair services to resolve the issue.

CNC machines are an essential part of modern manufacturing. They are capable of performing numerous tasks that transform raw materials into finished parts and assemblies. Utilizing CNC technology in assembly lines or manufacturing environments allows companies to cut, drill, carve, and shape a workpiece quickly, accurately, and repeatably. The precision components that CNC machines produce would be needlessly difficult or even impossible to generate with manual processes.

When CNC machines are not working correctly, manufacturers suffer because of unfulfilled orders, missed deadlines, and lost revenue, customers, and reputation. To prevent costly downtime and its consequences, CNC machines require regular inspections as well as preventative care measures. Optimal CNC maintenance will include a physical evaluation of the control panel and each equipment component. Manufacturers should carry out tasks like checking fluid levels daily, whereas other tasks, like cleaning the radiator or testing for contaminants in the hydraulic system, are monthly or yearly tasks, respectively.

CNC maintenance commonly involves:

  • Checking coolant levels and concentrations
  • Managing fill levels for lubrication and cooling oils
  • Changing fluids
  • Cleaning surfaces, filters, fans, and other parts or systems
  • Calibrating machinery
  • Maintaining proper alignment for machine tools, tool changers, and full bearings
  • Hand scraping
  • Replacing old, OEM, and aftermarket components, as needed
  • Watching for bacterial growth or contamination in any fluids or systems
  • Performing inspections and testing

Sometimes, however, even being proactive about equipment maintenance is not enough. In those cases, typical CNC components that might need repair include:

  • Power supply units
  • Spindle and servo motors and drives
  • Spindle and ball screws
  • Pumps

We offer a comprehensive range of services for keeping CNC machines in pristine working condition.
