Manual uses of machines are quite important to understand along with basic programs such as (G & M codes) before jumping into automatic tool paths. Owning a CNC machine can be incredibly beneficial for your production line. These three helpful insider tips from Biesse Nesting Product Manager Jim Petrin will confirm you know exactly where to begin with your machine.
1) First, using proper tooling is absolutely vital. Using tooling that is of top quality, generally carbide or inserts, is an incredibly important part of getting the most out of your CNC machine. Investing in proper cutting tools ensures you receive all the advantages of a CNC machine and the quality the machine can output.
2) Maintaining the machine’s cleanliness is key for longevity of the accuracy and life of your machine. Following the maintenance routine of your machine from the supplier and originally purchasing a machine that does a good job of helping you with cleanliness and has all the proper tools to do so is a great way to hold onto your machine for as long as possible.
3) Understanding the full capability of your machine will guarantee you are not just isolating it to a particular product or product line. Using the machine to broaden your offerings to your clientele in combination with the proper software takes full advantage of your machine’s capabilities.
