Optimization helps to tailor your machine performance to meet the particular application requirements of your industry. Through specialized tuning and the addition of features, CNC optimization for new machines can capitalize on the mechanical capabilities of your machine. Before attempting the optimization of a new machine tool, check with your machine tool builder to avoid any issues, which may affect your warranty. Also check with your machine tool builder to see if they offer any optimization services.
Older machines are prime candidates for optimization for a wide variety of reasons. Very often these machines are critical to production and costly to replace. As a machine is used, it wears and parts become loose. As a result, an older machine’s tuning and accuracy no longer meets factory specifications. Servo tuning was based on original machine specifications and may be too aggressive for the current machine conditions. This could lead to instabilities, poor surface finish and the inability to achieve machining speeds of which the machine was once capable. Compensations will most definitely need to be readjusted. Accuracy is affected by worn mechanics. Periodic compensation adjustments will keep the older machine’s accuracies to within tolerances. The addition of new types of compensation may be required as your machine ages (e.g., adding bidirectional pitch error or straightness compensation).
Features can be added to the CNC to allow the user to work around some of the mechanical deficiencies of an older machine and still provide optimal performance. Optimization allows your older machine to operate with the best possible performance within its mechanical capabilities. Another consideration for older machines would be a complete CNC retrofit. This should only be considered for machines in good mechanical shape or machines that would be difficult to replace, but the controls and servos—due to their age—are incapable of providing the performance and reliability of which the machine is capable.
A thorough assessment of your older machine should be done by a qualified service person before attempting to optimize your machine. Screws, racks and ways need to be in good condition and not excessively worn or damaged. The machine positioning must be repeatable (it does not have to be accurate, inaccuracy can be compensated for, but that inaccuracy must be repeatable every time the machine returns to that position). If your machine is not repeatable, you have a much deeper problem that cannot be compensated for at the CNC level. Do not attempt to optimize a CNC on your own.
