How long can a non-metallic five-axis machining center be used? How to extend its service life
Published Time:

Non-metallic five-axis machining centers, also known as five-axis engraving machines, generally have a design life of about ten years under ideal conditions. So, under normal use, how many years can an engraving machine be used? How to extend the service life of the engraving machine?
Non-metallic five-axis machining centers, also known as five-axis engraving machines, generally have a design life of about ten years, but this is under ideal conditions. Five-axis engraving machines require careful maintenance during use. With a normal eight-hour workday, they typically last five to six years. However, the lifespan of an engraving machine depends on the customer's usage and cannot be generalized. If your business is booming and the processing volume is large, the spindle bearings are the most prone to wear, lasting between one and several years. To extend the service life of the engraving machine, daily maintenance is crucial, ， Proper maintenance will significantly extend the lifespan of the engraving machine. ， Below, Xiaonuo will share some tips on daily maintenance.
1. Regularly check the oil quality of the hydraulic system, add and change hydraulic oil; regularly clean or replace filters in various lubrication, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems of the engraving machine; regularly check and calibrate the machine's level and mechanical accuracy. In daily use, in addition to lubricating the main operating parts of the engraving machine, it is also necessary to pay attention to the sufficient lubrication of other peripheral parts. To improve the service life of the engraving machine, the overall operation must be smooth. If any part of the operation is stuck, it will greatly reduce the service life of the engraving machine. The engraving machine uses its own dedicated lubricant; ordinary lubricants should not be used.
2. The engraving machine has high processing accuracy and strong comprehensive processing capabilities. Correct operation can improve product lifespan. When using the engraving machine, pay attention to the usage environment. Avoid direct sunlight and other heat radiation, excessive humidity, excessive dust, or corrosive gases, and keep it away from vibrating equipment.
3. The engraving machine should not be shut down for extended periods. Even without processing tasks, it should be run regularly, about two to three times a week, for about an hour each time. This uses heat to reduce humidity in the machine, preventing electronic components from getting damp, and allows for timely detection of any low-battery warnings and prevents loss of system parameter settings.
4. Avoid frequent on/off cycles. ， Generally speaking, whether it is an ordinary engraving machine or other large-scale intelligent equipment, frequent switching operations should be avoided during daily use. This will greatly reduce the sensitivity of the system and may cause a short circuit. It may also damage the chips in the system. Generally, after turning off or on a brand-name engraving machine, a period of time should be allowed before turning it on or off again.
5. Avoid prolonged standby. Regardless of the type of mold being processed it has a working time limit. Generally, the power should be unplugged when it is idle for a long time. Also, do not let the engraving machine work for too long. Long working hours will increase its wear and tear, and may also lead to poor internal heat dissipation. Poor heat dissipation is a major factor affecting the lifespan of the engraving machine.
Following these points will significantly extend the service life of the engraving machine. Xiaonuo strongly recommends that companies using Nobot five-axis engraving machines assign dedicated maintenance personnel, strictly implement Nobot's engraving machine maintenance policies, and record relevant maintenance items. High-end engraving machines have high purchase prices and high maintenance costs; therefore, a proactive approach to maintenance should be taken to extend the service life and reduce the failure rate.

Nobot was invited to attend the Belt and Road International Exchange Conference
On July 28, 2024, the 2024 Liaocheng "Belt and Road" International Exchange Conference and the Unveiling Ceremony of the Central Asia International High-end Talent Joint Training Base were held in the Liaocheng High-tech Zone University Science and Technology Park. Professor Tursunbayev Zaporotot, President of Osh Technological University of the Kyrgyz Republic and corresponding academician of the Kyrgyz Academy of Engineering, and Academician Smaylor Erta of the Kyrgyz Academy of Engineering and the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, among other experts and scholars from "Belt and Road" countries, participated in the event. Liaocheng Deputy Mayor Wang Gang and Zhang Ya, Party Secretary and Director of the Management Committee of the High-tech Zone, attended the event and delivered speeches.
This training event not only provided a valuable learning opportunity for company managers and key personnel, but also built a platform for communication and sharing. During the training, everyone actively interacted and discussed enthusiastically, exploring effective ways to improve management capabilities together. Through this training, everyone has gained rich knowledge and skills, but more importantly, it has inspired confidence and motivation for the future.
How to use a five-axis machining center efficiently? Today, let's learn a few practical steps!
When using a five-axis machining center, the equipment must first be adjusted to ensure that the workpiece and fixture dimensions precisely match, and that the zero points of each axis are accurately adjusted.
Why do composite materials require 5-axis CNC machining?
Composite materials are widely used in various fields such as aerospace, automotive, construction, energy, energy storage, infrastructure, marine, pipelines and tanks, sports and entertainment, and transportation due to their light weight, high fatigue resistance, and strong fracture resistance. Among them, aerospace and automotive industries are the largest application markets for composite materials. Five-axis CNC plays an important role in the processing of composite materials. Why do composite materials need to be processed using five-axis CNC?
Dual-station five-axis machines offer several significant advantages. First, while one station is being machined, the other can be used for material loading and unloading, ensuring continuous, non-stop machining and significantly improving production efficiency. Second, the dual-station design makes operation more convenient and reduces waiting time. However, dual-station five-axis machines typically cost more than single-station machines and may require more operating and maintenance space.
