A CNC can keep making parts while accuracy quietly drifts. Pair cleaning and lubrication tasks with condition checks such as tool-change behavior, surface finish, spindle noise, and repeatability.
Coolant concentration and contamination affect tools, finishes, pumps, and operator health. Record the measured concentration instead of relying only on appearance.
Machine builders specify different lubricants, warm-up routines, filter intervals, and geometry checks. Use the OEM manual as the controlling requirement and adapt this checklist to the model.
Typical operator checks include fluids, air pressure, warm-up, chip removal, coolant condition, leaks, alarms, and unusual noise. Keep service-panel work with trained maintenance personnel.
Base the interval on machine criticality, tolerance requirements, crash history, and builder guidance. Many shops also trigger a check after a crash, relocation, or unexplained quality drift.
Yes. Concentration, contamination, tramp oil, and sump condition directly affect tool life, corrosion, finish quality, odors, and coolant-system reliability.
Add it to RunTight, assign it to equipment, and automatically send each occurrence to the right phone. The Free plan supports up to 25 users—no credit card or per-user fee.
