Servicing, Maintenance and Trouble shooting of CNC Machine Tools – Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics Aspects (2 Modules)
Date : 18 to 23 April, 2022
Venue : IMTMA Technology Centre, Pune
 
INTRODUCTION
 

CNC machines are real Mechatronic systems, having electrical and electronic circuits interacting with mechanical actuators / sub systems. Diagnostics and root cause analysis are important aspects of maintenance, which are most often ignored. Often the roots of a mechanical problem could be in the electronics area and that of an electronic problem could be lying elsewhere in the machine. A thorough understanding of the various sub systems & CNC machine circuit diagram is needed to find and fix the root cause to minimize MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) and effective planning of PMBF (Preventive Maintenance Before Failure) towards zero down time.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing 6 days workshop on "Servicing, Maintenance and Trouble shooting of CNC Machine Tools – Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics Aspects" at Pune. The training will be based on a hybrid approach with group exercises on circuit diagram study and practical demonstrations in CNC machines and sub systems maintenance and trouble shooting.

*Participants may register for individual modules as well.

Module 1 - Electrical and Electronics Aspects | Date: 18-20 April 2022.

Module 2 - Mechanical Aspects | Date: 21-23 April 2022.
