Every machinist hits roadblocks—here’s your step‑by‑step toolkit:
-
Symptom Diagnosis: Chatter, tool breakage, dimensional inaccuracy—what to check first.
-
Electrical Checks: Stepper/servo wiring, grounding issues, intermittent drive faults.
-
Mechanical Calibration: Ball screw backlash, axis squareness, spindle runout measurement (dial indicator).
-
Software & Probe: Verifying g‑code with simulation, using touch‑probes to auto‑square.
-
Preventive Maintenance: Cleaning ways, lubrication schedules, belt tension checks.
With these methods, you’ll reduce downtime and maintain peak machine performance.
