Common Malfunctions Of Multifunctional CNC Lathes And Troubleshooting Methods

Jun 20, 2025 Leave a message

Feed System Failure

 

Failure Symptoms: Abnormal movement of coordinate axes, poor positioning accuracy.

Possible Causes:

  • Poor lubrication or wear of the guide rails, resulting in increased friction resistance.
  • Excessive clearance or wear of the ball screw assembly, causing backlash.
  • Loose or damaged coupling, resulting in misalignment of the transmission.

Troubleshooting Methods:

  • Check the operating status of the guide rail lubrication pump and replenish lubricating oil.
  • Use a dial indicator to measure the screw clearance, and eliminate the clearance by adjusting the preload nut or replacing the screw assembly.
  • Tighten the coupling bolts; if the coupling's elastic elements are damaged, replace them promptly.

 

Spindle Failure

 

Failure Symptoms: Spindle noise, unstable speed, and severe overheating.

Possible Causes:

  • Wear or insufficient lubrication of the spindle bearings, resulting in poor operation.
  • Loose or worn belt, causing transmission slippage.
  • Excessive deviation in the coaxiality between the spindle motor and the spindle.

Troubleshooting Methods:

  • Disassemble the spindle housing and inspect the bearing clearance.
  • Adjust the belt tension or replace the belt.
  • Use a dial indicator to calibrate the coaxiality between the motor and spindle, then reinstall the coupling sleeve.

 

Servo motor failure

 

Failure symptoms: Motor does not rotate, overheating alarm, vibration during operation.

Possible causes:

  • Poor connection or damage to the encoder cable.
  • Incorrect servo drive parameter settings.
  • Motor winding short circuit or ground fault.

Troubleshooting methods:

  • Check the encoder cable connector, reinsert or replace the cable.
  • Restore the drive to default parameters and gradually adjust the gain parameters.
  • Measure the winding insulation resistance with a megohmmeter; replace the motor if a short circuit is detected.

 

Program Operation Failure

 

Failure Symptoms: Program interruption, alarm prompts, abnormal tool path.

Possible Causes:

  • Programming errors
  • Lost or incorrectly modified system parameters
  • Memory failure causing program read errors

Troubleshooting methods:

  • Check program syntax (e.g., G-code and M-code matching), correct out-of-range coordinates, or add feed rate.
  • Enter the parameter interface and restore the default values for soft limit parameters.
  • Format the system memory or replace the memory card. Back up the program before formatting.
