How to prevent guideway damage of lathe machine?

September 25, 2024

We can implement effective measures to prevent damage to the guideway.

1. The machine tool guideway should have sufficient and reasonable lubrication conditions.

Good lubrication conditions to reduce the damage to the guide rail are essential. When the relative movement between the guide surface filled with lubricant, the formation of oil film, the establishment of the liquid friction between the guide surface does not occur direct friction, which occurs between the molecules within the lubricant, which avoids the rail surface of the research loss pull Injury, extend the service life of rails to improve the movement of the rail accuracy.

2. The lathe machine should have reasonable protective measures

To prevent iron filings, abrasive particles, dust, and other impurities into the rail surface, the machine tool rail must have reasonable protection devices. For example, steel plate devices and shields on the rail slide surface end.

3. Enhance the rigidity of the guideway

Increasing the rigidity of the guide rail is the most straightforward way to reduce or avoid injury.

First, we can do hardening on the surface of the guide surface.

Second, we can also do steel-plated treatment on the rails.

In short, To keep the lathe machine in good condition for a long time, the operator should cooperate closely and do the routine maintenance work of the equipment, keep the lathe machine clean oil regularly, and check it regularly.
