Let's find out how to keep your machine clean.
Some sections of the machine need more attention when it comes to cleaning. Make sure to have your machine in tip-top shape to lenghten your parts life cycle.
Daily cleaning
Do not blow compressed air into the machine.
There are bellows in your milling machine to protect rails and guides. These rails and guides are essential for precise axis movements. Make sure to clean the Y axis bellows the upper section and lower side sections daily, so the dust and particles won't clog and prevent the axis movement.
You need to clean the bellow link threads with help of a brush.
Cleaning back bellows of Y axis can be hard since B axis metal sheet blocking your way. Push the particles to the sides with help of a brush.
Lastly you need to clean the side edges of your bellows.
Collet cleaning
The spindle is both the most powerful and the most sensitive. part of your machine. Even a slight vibration can cause imperfections. Make sure to clean the spindle collet once a month with the collet cleaning kit you receive with the machine.
Open your collet and hold the tool with your hand if there is a tool inside the spindle. Remove the tool and leave the collet open.
Use the collet apparatus to loosen the collet. Then remove the collet by rotating it.
Put a little solution on to small brush and clean the insides of the collet.
Use big brush to clean all excess debris may have been inside the collet.
Use conical cleaning part to clean inside the spindle.
Screw your collet inside the spindle by rotating completely inside the spindle. Use the collet apparatus to gently tighten the collet. Make sure your collet is semi-tightly screwed into its place.
Drains cleaning
For better cutting liquid circulation, drains inside the machines should be checked and cleaned once a month.
Zirconia dust, or metal shavings can collect inside the 90 °C fitting and may prevent drainage.
Fitting can be cleaned by clearing blockage with a stick-like object.
Liquid tank filter cleaning
Dust and particles are filtered from the cutting liquid before the liquid reenters circulation. In order to have a clean and filtered liquid that can improve tool lifespan significantly, the filter must be cleaned regularly.
Remove the liquid tank filter.
Empty it's content to the trash and clean it with water.
Tool measurement sensor probe cleaning
The dust and particles beneath the measurement probe can pile up and prevent the movement of the probe. This may produce miscalculations, can cause tool breaking, or even worse machine malfunction.
The probe must be checked weekly.
You can clean underneath of the probe with a brush. After cleaning check with if the probe is free to move.
Brush might not be enough with wet milling. Zirconia and cutting liquid can be hardened. If that is the case please use a penetrant/lubricant sprey such as Wd40.
After cleaning check with if the probe is free to move.
Deep cleaning
Make sure to turn the machine and air off before starting.
Do not blow compressed air into the machine.
Deep cleaning requires you to remove the machine cover to clean hard-to-reach areas of your machine easily.
After you have removed the front cover clean your machine throughly with an electric vacuum cleaner. Zirconia dust may cause malfunction for regular vacuums, we suggest an industrial vacuum.
