Ensuring all these points are checked before operating the machine will help ensure safety, efficiency, and proper functionality

  • Verify that the installation location is suitable for the CNC machine, considering factors like space, ventilation, temperature, and humidity.
  • Ensure that the environment is free from excessive dust, moisture, and other contaminants that could affect machine performance.

Confirm that the power supply meets the requirements specified by the machine manufacturer.

  • Ensure the machine is securely anchored to the floor or mounting surface to prevent vibrations during operation.
  • Check for any signs of instability or misalignment and address them accordingly.

Use a spirit level to ensure the machine is level in all directions for accurate machining and to prevent undue stress on components.

  • Connect all necessary cables, hoses, and peripherals according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Verify proper communication between the CNC machine and any connected devices or software.
  • Test emergency stop buttons, interlocks, and other safety features to ensure they are functional.
  • Provide adequate safety signage and instructions for operating the machine safely.
  • Install appropriate tooling and workholding devices for the specific jewelry manufacturing processes.
  • Ensure proper alignment and secure fastening of tools and workpieces.
  • Perform initial calibration and alignment procedures as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
  • Check axis movements and alignments to ensure accurate machining.
  • Verify proper installation and functioning of coolant and lubrication systems, if applicable.
  • Ensure coolant levels are adequate and compatible with materials being machined.
  • Install and configure CNC control software according to client requirements.
  • Test basic machine functions and movements using manual control.
  • Provide the client with operation manuals, maintenance guidelines, and any relevant documentation.
  • Conduct training sessions for operators on machine operation, safety procedures, and basic maintenance tasks.
  • Conduct a final inspection to ensure all installation steps have been completed satisfactorily.
  • Address any outstanding issues or concerns before handing over the machine to the client.
