Loong Boat Water? plum rain season Typhoon days? Please check the moisture-proof guide for CNC machine tools in rainy season

In recent months, with the arrival of "returning to the southern sky", "Loong Boat water", "plum rainy season", and "typhoon days", the rain in southern China, especially in Guangdong, has been "super long standby", and rainstorm continues to be strong. Some netizens even teased Guangdong to be renamed "Yudong" or "Chaodong"~

Continuous heavy rainfall has led to an increase in humidity in the air, causing everything to become damp and moldy, presenting a damp and even mushroom growing scene everywhere. In such a humid environment, machine tools are also facing multiple challenges.

On June 1st, China fully entered the flood season, with the southern region entering the main flood season. Under the influence of rainstorm, small and medium-sized rivers in some areas may have floods above the warning level. Flooding not only affects normal life and production, but also may cause disasters and accidents.

Excessive moisture or water ingress can not only cause inaccurate machine tool accuracy, electrical faults, and rusting of components, but also affect the service life of machine tool parts. Therefore, timely dehumidification and moisture prevention measures should be taken.

What should be remembered for moisture-proof machine tools?

1. Check the electrical cabinet door to ensure it is closed and adequately protected against moisture.

2. During rainy and humid seasons, surfaces such as workbenches, protective covers, knife towers, spindle taper holes, and screw rods are more prone to rusting and should be rust proofed in a timely manner.

3. Check if the pneumatic box filter and drying filter element of the machine tool need to be replaced.

4. Wet weather can easily cause dust to adhere and lead to circuit failures, so it is important to carefully investigate.

5. Try not to turn off the power when the machine tool is not in use, and maintain a standby or idle running and running state.

How to deal with severe condensation or water ingress on machine tools?

1. Cut off the power supply and turn off all switches of the machine tool.

2. Remove all electrical equipment that has been soaked in water or heavily condensed, including CNC systems, drivers, motors, transformers, connecting cables, machine tool electrical components (including travel switches), machine tool main motors, encoders, and all other components that require electrical operation.

3. Components that have been soaked in water or have severe condensation should be dried in a timely manner.

4. Timely dry damp components and parts and perform rust prevention treatment.

5. Power on the baked parts and components one by one to check their integrity.

6. Professional personnel will install the inspected parts and components back into the machine tool.

After completing the above steps, power on and test whether it can operate normally. In case of any abnormality, please immediately shut down the power and contact us, and we will handle it for you as soon as possible.
