1. Is Your Machine Using More or Less Oil? A sudden change in your machine’s oil consumption is a big red flag. If your machine uses significantly more or less oil than usual, it could signal a problem—blocked lines, leaks, or a failing lubrication pump. 2. Do You See Excess Oil in the Coolant Tank? Finding extra lubricant oil in your coolant tank is another warning sign. Excess oil means the lubrication system may be over-delivering or improperly distributed, potentially leading to leaks or contamination. This imbalance wastes oil and can affect other components like the coolant system and spindle. 3. Are You Noticing Early Quality Problems? It could be a sign of lubrication issues if you see inconsistent surface finishes, dimensional inaccuracies, or unusual tool wear. Poor lubrication leads to increased friction, which can directly impact the quality of your parts. Catching lubrication issues early is critical to maintaining your CNC machine’s performance and avoiding costly repairs. Regular inspections and noticing the small changes early are vital to keeping your machine running smoothly and costs down. Have you noticed any of these signs in your shop? Let’s discuss how to keep your lubrication system in top shape!

Three checks to ensure continued production success When was the last time your machine alignments were checked? 1. Regular Alignment Checks: By checking your machine alignment, you can identify minor issues and take corrective actions before they create quality problems. 2. Machine Levle Test: One of the simple checks for a machine tool is testing the machine's level. Ensuring the machine is level reduces many of the repeatability factors. 3. Repeatability Test: Regular backlash and repeatability checks offer a great deal of insight into the overall condition of your machine. Making time and conducting regular machine checks often get pushed to the background. But taking a small amount of time to check the machine regularly will pay huge dividends in the future. We specialize in machine alignments and have worked with a wide range of clients to help them prevent costly downtime that could have been avoided.
