COURSE OVERVIEW

Maximize CNC machine uptime and restore sub-micron precision.

The Machine Maintenance course at LENOCAM prepares technicians and service engineers to troubleshoot, service, and maintain industrial VMC machines and CNC turning centers. Learn mechanical axis overhauls, ballscrew preload checks, spindle health monitoring, hydraulic chuck servicing, and electrical ladder diagnostics.

MECHANICAL AXIS 01

Ballscrews & Linear Guideways

Measure axis backlash using dial test indicators, inspect linear guide block wipers, evaluate support bearings, and adjust mechanical gibs.

FLUID SYSTEMS 02

Hydraulics, Pneumatics & Lubrication

Service centralized progressive way lubrication pumps, test pneumatic air preparation FRL units, and adjust hydraulic chuck pressure relief valves.

ALIGNMENT 03

Geometric Alignment & Leveling

Level machine beds using precision master levels, check X/Y/Z axis squareness with granite squares, and tram VMC spindle heads.

DIAGNOSTICS 04

Electrical & CNC Controller Alarms

Read machine electrical schematics, troubleshoot 24V DC sensor circuits, diagnose servo drive alarm codes, and perform full CNC parameter backups.
