What Are The Environmental Requirements For Machining Centers?

A machining center is a type of equipment that requires high precision, and precision cannot be separated from the influence of external environment. Therefore, the machine tool must be placed in an environment with relatively stable conditions in all aspects. There are two benefits to doing this. Firstly, the machining accuracy of machine tools is not easily affected by external factors; Secondly, a good environment is also beneficial for extending the service life of machine tools.

What are the environmental requirements for machine tools?

Firstly, temperature. The change in temperature can cause slight deformation of the metal components that make up the machining center. To give a simple example, it is the familiar principle of thermal expansion and contraction. The impact of this temperature change, although imperceptible to the naked eye, has an impact on the accuracy of the machine tool. So in general, in addition to installing ventilation and heat dissipation devices, the machining center will also indicate the ambient temperature. This range is not fixed, but it should generally be below 30 degrees Celsius.

Secondly, humidity. In addition to temperature, humidity can also have an impact on machining centers. Both machine tool manufacturers and machine tool users should attach importance to controlling humidity in the workshop. Generally speaking, relative humidity should not exceed 80%, which is suitable for machine tools. But some high-precision machine tool manufacturers also keep the humidity constant at around 60%.

Thirdly, air quality. Yes, you are not mistaken. The machining center should pay attention to air quality both in production and during use. This air quality includes not only the humidity mentioned earlier, but also "harmful gases" and "inhalable particulate matter.". Harmful gases to machine tools are generally corrosive gases, which can have adverse effects on the machine tool and its internal precision components, reduce the service life of the components, and affect the normal operation of the machine tool. Inhalable particulate matter generally refers to dust. Excessive dust is not only unhygienic, but also increases the risk of circuit board short circuits.
