Summer Maintenance of Cooling System for Milling And Turning Composite Machine Tools

In the hot and humid environment of summer, the cooling system of the milling and turning composite machine tool needs stricter maintenance to ensure stable operation of the equipment.

Cutting fluid is prone to decay in summer, and it is necessary to test the concentration and pH value weekly to ensure that they are within a reasonable range. Choose antibacterial cutting fluid and replace it promptly. In addition, it is necessary to maintain the cleanliness of the cutting fluid system, regularly clean chips and impurities, and avoid clogging nozzles and pipelines.

The cooling of the spindle and hydraulic system also needs attention. To ensure that the spindle coolant level is sufficient and the circulation pump is working properly, the machine must be stopped for inspection when the spindle temperature exceeds the limit.
For hydraulic systems, high temperatures can affect lubrication effectiveness, so regular inspections are necessary. The cleaning and maintenance of the radiator cannot be ignored. Clean the dust accumulation on the cooling fan and heat sink every month to ensure heat dissipation efficiency.

A good workshop environment is crucial. Maintain ventilation and take cooling measures. At the same time, the humidity should be controlled between 40% -70% to prevent condensed water from entering the cooling system. Weekly testing of cutting fluid concentration and cleaning of filtration system, monthly replacement or filtration of hydraulic oil and cleaning of radiator, etc.

In case of emergency, it is necessary to deal with it in time. If the cutting fluid has too much foam, it may be polluted or the ratio is improper, and it needs to be stopped immediately for adjustment. When the spindle generates an overheating alarm, immediately stop machining, check if the coolant circulation is unobstructed, and investigate tool wear.

Through measures, the impact of high temperatures in summer on the cooling system of machine tools can be effectively avoided, ensuring stable operation of the equipment. If the cooling system frequently experiences abnormalities, it is recommended to contact professional technicians for in-depth inspection and maintenance.
