Servicing, Maintenance and Trouble shooting of CNC Machine Tools – Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics Aspects

Date : 19 to 24 December, 2022

Venue : IMTMA Technology Centre, Bengaluru

INTRODUCTION

CNC machines are real Mechatronic systems, having electrical and electronic circuits interacting with mechanical actuators/sub-systems. Diagnostics and root cause analysis is an important aspect of maintenance, which is most often ignored. Often the roots of a mechanical problem is in the electronics area and that of an electronic problem lies elsewhere. Thorough understanding of the various sub-systems, CNC machine circuit diagram, Ladder diagram, and CNC parameters 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 downtime.

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