How To Boost Performance Of CNC Lathe Machines?

How to boost the performance of a CNC lathe machine? You have purchased this lathe machine for a hefty amount of money. Now, you would like to boost its performance to get the maximum output from your machine.  This blog post discusses ways and methods shop floor managers can use to boost the efficiency of their CNC lathe machines to the maximum.

However, please note that some of the performance-enhancing techniques we are going to mention here are not unique to the efficiency of CNC lathe machines only. They can also be used to improve the performance of other types of industrial machines and machine tools.  Japanese Machinery co. is keen to discuss with you these methods to help you optimize the performance of the used Japanese machines you buy from us.

How To Boost the Performance Of CNC Lathe Machines?

CNC lathe machines are used in the manufacturing industry all over the world.  Japan has been a world leader in manufacturing the highest quality CNC lathe machines for several decades now.  These are designed to work well under extreme conditions.  However, shop owners using these machines need to know the ways and means to improve the efficiency of their machines.

There are various ways to improve the performance of a CNC lathe machine, thereby boosting the overall utilization of the machine – reducing set-up time, positive ergonomics, and increasing cutting parameters. “We generally ignore to reduce the set-up time, though much can be achieved through it. But, how could the CNC lathe machine operators boost the productivity of their machines?

Ways To Boost Productivity Of CNC Lathe Machines

To remain competitive in the present circumstances, CNC machinists must find viable ways of increasing their output and maintain reliable, quality, and exceptional customer care services. So, what can they do to improve the performance of their CNC lathe machines?

• Reduce set-up time of the machine
• Increase cutting parameters
• Train your machine operators so they become well-versed in running the operations and on-going maintenance of these machines
• Get organized, simplify tasks to get the maximum output from your lathe machines
• Adopt lean manufacturing practices to eliminate waste for all phases of the manufacturing process. Eliminate handoffs and rework, if possible. Do not hesitate to skip some of the steps in the overall manufacturing process.
• Establish multiple modes of operation
• Understand and maintain power requirements of your lathe machines before installing it in your shop
• Upgrade and retool your machines whenever needed
• Modify your machines to enhance the performance. These modifications could be made on the drive and control of these machines.
• Keep yourself busy in some other tasks while your CNC machines operate
• Optimize your CNC lathe machine operations by minimizing the number of operators to reduce costs, mistakes and injuries, etc.
