Machine lubrication is important to overall performance. All machines run on ways and move with ball screws. Check with OEM specifications for the recommended lubrication schedule. Positioning accuracy depends on the smooth operation of these items.

Wire cut surface finish can be affected by bad ways and screws. Always visually check for the proper lubrication of these surfaces. Some machines use grease, some use way oil and others use a combination of the two.

 Some machines require the UV-axis be greased by hand. The small ball screws and ways are just too difficult to cover with an automatic system. Some machines offer either automatic or hand pump way oiler systems. It’s important to check which items (ways and ball screws) these systems cover. Don’t assume they cover everything. Visually inspect that each lubrication point is receiving its fair share. A plugged line can cost major repairs and downtime.

 Implementing a regular preventative maintenance program will save you time and money in the long run. It will also result in extended machine life, higher resale value, top productivity and great machine accuracies.
