click:Release Date:2025/4/28

The rapid development of the mechanical processing industry has led to the emergence of various highly integrated and advanced processing equipment, providing favorable conditions for the upgrading of machine tools. At present, for small and medium-sized processing enterprises, ordinary lathes are still the main force on the processing front, but the maintenance of machine tools is still a difficult task. The current machine tool maintenance engineer will take the CA6140A/1000 ordinary lathe as an example to explain how to solve the four common faults of ordinary lathes.


1、 Fault phenomenon: The spindle cannot stop rotating quickly after shutdown


main cause:


1. Friction clutch adjustment too tight


2. The brake is too loose and the brake band is worn


terms of settlement:


1. Adjust or replace the friction plate


2. Adjust the brake and replace the brake band


2、 Press the start button and the main motor does not rotate. Fault phenomenon: The main motor does not rotate


main cause:


1. The main power switch is not turned on


2. Poor contact of the start button


terms of settlement:


1. Turn on the power switch


2. Check the connector of the start button


3、 The thread of the car has a taper, and the fault phenomenon is that the thread of the car has a taper


main cause:


1. Poor rigidity of cutting tools


2. Low tool installation


3. Blunt cutting edge


terms of settlement:


1. Thicken the tool holder appropriately


2. The tip of the knife should be higher than the centerline


3. The cutting edge should be sharp


4: The automatic feed handle on the chute box is prone to detachment, and the fault phenomenon is that the automatic feed handle is prone to detachment


main cause:


1. The pressure spring of the worm gear that falls off inside the chute box is too loose


2. The positioning spring of the automatic feed handle is loose


terms of settlement:


1. Screw in and remove the worm adjusting nut


2. Tighten the spring
