Symptoms
CNC mill repair calls we get in Madison
What shops tell us on the phone, and what it usually turns out to be.
| What you see | What it usually is |
|---|---|
| Parts drift out of size on one axis | Backlash, thermal growth, a worn ballscrew, or a scale or encoder problem. An indicator and a warm-up test sort it out. |
| Low lube alarm or dry ways | Empty or clogged lube unit, a cracked line, or a failed metering block starving one axis. |
| Noise after a crash | Spindle, ballscrew, coupling and alignment all need checking before the machine runs production again. |
| Won’t home or loses its position at power up | Dead encoder batteries, a lost reference, a bad home switch or a moved dog. |

Tips from our Madison techs
CNC mill repair tip for Madison shops: write down the load meter
Note each axis’s load on a rapid move once a week. A number that creeps up is the earliest warning you’ll get.
CNC mill repair tip for Madison shops: use the way oil the builder specifies
Substitute oils that don’t cling are behind a lot of the way and ballscrew wear we see, especially in cold buildings.
CNC mill repair tip for Madison shops: warm it up before the first part
A short warm-up program in a cool shop saves the ways, the spindle and your first-article inspection.
