How often should CNC machine tools undergo major maintenance

Comprehensive maintenance of CNC machine tools is extremely troublesome and may require a period of shutdown. However, if performed improperly, it could lead to complete failure of the machine, resulting in unexpected prolonged downtime with significantly higher repair costs. So, how often should CNC machine tools undergo thorough maintenance? SMTCL offers two judgment methods to guide you.

 1. Based on usage time, machining centers operating in a three-shift system typically require major overhauls after 8-10 years of service.

 2. Based on the usage or repair condition of the equipment, major components typically undergo two to three targeted repairs. If major component failures occur again the following year, it is necessary to consider scheduling planned overhauls.

 In certain circumstances, CNC machine tools only require major repairs once in their lifetime. If issues arise that cannot be resolved through minor adjustments or repairs, it is necessary to consider scrapping and updating them.
