Who it is for
Shops where a router or engraver runs most days and a breakdown would hurt deliveries.
What it does on the floor
A visit every three months: gantry alignment, belt and bearing checks, spindle runout, spoilboard condition, limit switches and lubrication. You get a one-page report and a list of parts to order before they fail.
The aim is to catch slow wear before it becomes a breakdown. Most belt and bearing failures give weeks of warning to someone who is listening and measuring.
Mistakes we see in the first month
- Booking service only after a breakdown.
- Not keeping the visit reports, so trends go unnoticed.
- Letting the visit get bumped because the week is busy, three quarters in a row.
South African conditions
Visits start in Gauteng and run to other regions on a planned route. Book early in the quarter if you are outside Gauteng so the visit fits a route week.
Space and power at a glance
Clear access around the machine on the visit day. Machine isolated during parts of the visit.
Care at a glance
- Between visits: listen for new noises and note them
- Keep the machine clean so wear is visible
- Log any crash or hard stop
Spares worth keeping close: whatever the last report flagged, ordered before the next visit.
Before you email
Read the specs for the numbers, the layout notes for floor space and power, and the care routine for what the machine needs each week. Then email cnc@cncpme.co.za with your city, what you cut most, and a photo of the space.
