Machine maintenance in the manufacturing industry needs to be done to keep the production process running continuously and consistently. We know that CNC machines are common and mainly used machines in the manufacturing industry, so if the maintenance process is not properly considered, it will cause fatal damage that can suddenly occur.

How is the CNC Machine Maintenance Process
In the medical device manufacturing industry, we need to pay more attention to the maintenance process of production equipment, because manufactured goods must be ensured to keep clean according to the standards of the health ministry. Below will be explained further about the CNC machine maintenance process for medical device manufacturing.
The CNC machine maintenance process is classified into several types, but the most commonly encountered is the preventive maintenance process, which is maintenance carried out periodically to prevent fatal CNC machine damage and also save machine operating costs in the long run.
This preventive maintenance process is further divided according to the specified period, it could be daily, weekly, monthly, and annually. the longer the period required, the more maintenance processes will be carried out. Let’s learn more about the period of the maintenance process.
Daily & Weekly Maintenance
In daily maintenance, commonly cleaning the remaining raw materials (residuals), machine lubrication process, and coolant refilling process. and daily or weekly maintenance processes are usually carried out by CNC machine operators.
Monthly Maintenance
For monthly maintenance, the process is a little bit heavier, such as cleaning the coolant tank, cleaning the residual material thoroughly, and recalibrating for parts that always moving and in addition, a checking process is also carried out to avoid leaks in the air flow section and also the hydraulic system,
Annual Maintenance
The annual maintenance process will usually replace several machine parts that are starting to wear out, the process of recalibrating the CNC axis to keep it precise and control processes that are still many more, in annual maintenance requires experts who are competent in CNC machine repair because it requires high accuracy.
