2024 Bending Machine Guide-What factors affect the service life of the bending machine CNC system?

The following are some factors that affect the service life of the bending machine CNC system:

Work environment factors：

Temperature and humidity:

· Temperature: If the CNC system works in a high temperature environment for a long time, such as in some environments without good heat dissipation facilities and close to high temperature heat sources (such as processing workshops near large furnaces), the electronic components will age faster, and the internal chips, capacitors, etc. may experience performance degradation or even damage due to long-term high temperature. In an environment with too low temperature, such as some simple outdoor processing sites that do not take good warming measures in winter, the response speed of components such as LCD screens will slow down, and the lubricants of some mechanical transmission parts may also become thicker, affecting the normal operation of the system and shortening its service life.

· Humidity: When the humidity is too high, such as in the rainy season in the south, when the humidity in the workshop is often above 80%, the CNC system is prone to moisture, causing problems such as short circuits on circuit boards and rust and corrosion of electronic components, which seriously threatens the normal operation and life of the system. On the contrary, if the environment is too dry, static electricity is easily generated, and static discharge may damage some sensitive electronic components in the system.

Dust and impurities:

· In a workshop environment where a large number of cutting, grinding and other processing processes are carried out simultaneously, the air is often filled with a lot of dust, metal debris and other impurities. These tiny particles can easily enter the CNC system through heat dissipation holes and gaps, and accumulate on the circuit board, which may affect the heat dissipation effect of electronic components and cause faults such as poor circuit contact. Over time, the continuous accumulation of dust and impurities will cause various problems in the system and shorten its service life.

Power Quality Factors：

Voltage stability:

·If the power supply voltage in the workshop is unstable, the voltage may be too high or too low from time to time. For example, the power supply lines in some old factories are aging and the grid voltage fluctuates frequently. Excessive voltage may break down the electronic components inside the CNC system, while too low voltage may cause the system to fail to start normally or freeze or lose data during operation. If the system is exposed to such voltage fluctuations for a long time, the electronic components and control circuits of the system will be frequently damaged, thereby greatly shortening its service life.

Power supply interference:

·In workshops that use a lot of large motor equipment, high-frequency welding equipment, etc., the power supply is susceptible to electromagnetic interference. If these interference signals are transmitted to the bending machine CNC system, they will affect the signal transmission and processing of the system, causing errors in control instructions, causing the system to malfunction or affecting the performance of internal electronic components. Long-term exposure to such an interference environment will accelerate the damage of the system and reduce its normal service life.

Use and maintenance factors

Operational Standardization:

·If the operator does not use the CNC system according to the correct operating procedures, such as performing an emergency stop when the system has not been fully started or shut down, frequently and illegally plugging and unplugging various interface cables, and arbitrarily modifying key parameters during system operation, it may cause internal software errors and hardware damage in the system, increase the frequency of system failures, and thus affect its service life.

Load conditions:

·If the CNC system of the bending machine is often in an overloaded operating state, for example, complex bending processes are continuously performed at a high frequency, which far exceeds the normal working load designed for the system, the various components of the system (such as processors, drivers, etc.) will run at high load for a long time, which will accelerate wear and aging, just like a car speeding for a long time. The parts are more likely to be damaged, causing the CNC system to fail prematurely and shortening its service life.

Maintenance status:

·Regular maintenance of the CNC system is essential. If the dust on the outside of the system is not cleaned for a long time, the internal line connection is not checked, and the software patches are not updated in time, some potential small problems cannot be discovered and solved in time, and will gradually accumulate into major failures. For example, if the aging and loose lines are not repaired in time, they may cause circuit breakage, and if the software vulnerabilities are not repaired, they may be invaded by viruses, etc., which will eventually affect the overall life of the system.

System quality factors

Hardware Quality:

·The quality of the electronic components, circuit boards, display screens and other hardware used in the CNC system directly determines its initial durability. For example, a system using high-quality, industrial-grade chips and electronic components will have more advantages in terms of anti-aging and anti-interference than a system using low-quality, civilian-grade components. It can maintain stable operation for a longer period of time under normal conditions, and its service life will naturally be longer.

Software Quality:

·High-quality CNC system software has good stability, compatibility and error correction capabilities. If the software code has many loopholes or poor compatibility, it is easy to cause problems such as freezing and communication failure with other devices. Frequent software failures will also indirectly affect the working status of the hardware, which will reduce the service life of the entire CNC system over time.
