Precautions of operating the CNC wood router for new users

Many new users will face a problem that they do not know how to operate the CNC wood router. Because they are not familiar with the basic operation of the CNC router in the early stage, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles in the operation, Blue Elephant will let you know the details of operating the CNC wood router. Here are five points to note for newbies.

1. Familiar with the materials that can be processed by engraving machines. These materials generally include acrylic, plexiglass, PVC, solid wood panels, marble, and two-color panels. In addition, operators must be familiar with the range of applications of various materials to decide what kind of engraving method to choose.

2. Familiar with the operation of the engraving machine programming software, mainly including the following requirements to quickly find the path error, various types of software layout, various operations, path generation. Depending on the user's processing area, the required programming software is not the same. So we must study the corresponding training manual on the machine.

3. Before using the engraving machine, we need to have a comprehensive understanding of the engraving rotary tools bit, distinguish the scope and function of the various tools, and unloading the tools and install the tools operation under the guidance.

4. Master the basic knowledge of engraving machine, such as understanding the main functions of the engraving machine and the main functions of each part, as well as various working parameters of the engraving machine such as power, spindle speed, motor brand and so on. In addition, we need to understand some industry-specific terminology such as power-off continuation, hollowing, stenciling, and inscription.

5. Establish correct machine maintenance concepts and develop strict maintenance measures and regulations, to ensure that the machine is ready to work in the best possible condition. The following are the maintenance skills of the engraving machine.

• Do not place sundries on the work surface or head of the engraving machine.
• Clean the screw, add or replace the oil, for the grease can keep the moving parts of the screw and the nut in a good lubrication state to reduce the degree of mechanical wear.
• Avoid the machine working on the same coordinates of the engraving machine for a long time. And prevent the guide rail from moving for a long time without reasonable lubrication.
• The control cabinet should be placed in a well ventilated area and should not be operated in a high temperature environment. And place the machine in a dry, well-ventilated place to prevent exposure.
• To ensure the normal operation of the water pump and the cleaning of the cooling water, the spindle motor can not be dehydrated, and the cooling water should be replaced regularly to prevent the water temperature from being too high. In the extremely low temperature working environment, the water in the water tank should be replaced with antifreeze.
