5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your CNC router.

5.1 Cleaning

• After each use, clean the work area and machine components to remove dust, chips, and debris.
• Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Avoid using compressed air directly on sensitive electronic components.

5.2 Lubrication

Periodically lubricate the linear rails and ball screws to ensure smooth movement and reduce wear.

• Apply a thin layer of appropriate lubricant to the HG15 dual linear rails and 1204 ball screws.
• Move the axes manually to distribute the lubricant evenly.

5.3 Component Checks

• Inspect all cables for wear or damage.
• Check for loose screws or connections and tighten as necessary.
• Ensure the spindle is securely mounted.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

6.1 Machine Not Powering On

• Check Power Connection: Ensure the power cable is securely plugged into both the machine and a working power outlet.
• Power Switch: Verify the main power switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Emergency Stop: Confirm the emergency stop button is not engaged. Rotate it to release if pressed.

6.2 Motors Not Moving

• Cable Connections: Check that all motor cables are properly connected to the control board.
• Software Connection: Ensure the control software (e.g., Genmitsu APP, JGS) is correctly connected to the machine.
• Limit Switches: Verify that no limit switches are triggered. Manually move the axes away from the limits if necessary.

6.3 Inaccurate Carving

• Tool Tightness: Ensure the carving bit is securely tightened in the collet.
• Material Clamping: Verify the workpiece is firmly clamped to the wasteboard.
• Stepper Motor Torque: The upgraded stepper motors provide 66% more torque, but ensure they are functioning correctly.
• Precision: The machine is designed for ±0.03mm precision. If deviations occur, check for loose components or debris on linear rails.
