The installation of small CNC lathes is a key step to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and processing accuracy. The following are the key points to note when installing a small CNC lathe:

1. Basic preparation:

Ensure that the installation position of the CNC lathe is flat and firm, and the foundation surface must meet the specified standards.

The contact surface of the CNC lathe base should be flat with the foundation, and use leveling bolts to adjust.

You need to ensure that spacers or leveling blocks are used between the CNC lathe base and the foundation to ensure stability.

2. Horizontal adjustment:

CNC lathes use a level to adjust the level of the lathe to ensure that each axis is level. Level adjustment is very important to ensure processing accuracy.

3. Install the bed:

When installing the CNC lathe bed, ensure that the connection between the bed and the foot of the bed, the bed and the workbench is firm, and the fastening bolts must be even.

Check whether the connection of the CNC lathe guide rails is firm and ensure that the guide rail clearance meets the requirements.

4. Install the spindle:

When installing the spindle on a CNC lathe, make sure the spindle is aligned with the center of the bed.

When tightening the bolts of the spindle of a CNC lathe, follow the torque requirements provided by the manufacturer to avoid over-tightening or over-loosening.

5. Install the workbench:

When installing a workbench on a CNC lathe, make sure the workbench is flat and firmly fixed.

Adjust the gap between the CNC lathe table and bed to ensure free movement.

6. Electrical connection:

Before making electrical connections on the CNC lathe, make sure all power is turned off and disconnect the power cord.

Connect the power cord of the CNC lathe according to the electrical diagram and check the correctness of the wiring.

7. Cooling system:

If the CNC lathe is equipped with a cooling system, make sure the coolant tank is properly located and the coolant lines are connected correctly.

Check the working status of the CNC lathe coolant pump.

8. System check:

After the CNC lathe is installed, conduct a motion test of the entire machine to ensure that the movement of each axis is smooth and there are no abnormal sounds.

Check the CNC lathe CNC system to ensure it can start and operate normally.

9. Lubrication system:

Check and add CNC lathe lubricant to ensure that each axis, guide rail and other components are well lubricated.

10.Safety protection:

Install all safety protection devices on the CNC lathe, such as protective covers, emergency stop buttons, etc.

Make relevant safety signs to ensure operators understand safety precautions.

During the installation process of CNC lathe, it is best to operate according to the specific model of the lathe and the installation manual provided by the manufacturer. In addition, if you are unsure, it is best to consult a professional or the manufacturer’s technical support.
