Where Can I Get Industrial Electronic Supplies for My CNC Machines?

CNC machines provide valuable service in producing quality parts and components used in a wide array of industries. From automotive and aerospace to military and electronics, there are all sorts of items that are manufactured using CNC tooled parts and components.

Just like other types of manufacturing equipment, CNC machines do require regular maintenance and repairs to keep them operating. When something goes wrong—like a spindle drive fails—the manufacturer does not get rid of the CNC machine, but rather buys a new spindle drive compatible with their machine.



Many companies that use CNC machines keep a stock of replacement industrial electronic supplies, parts, and components on hand to avoid long down-times. When something needs to be replaced, either because it is nearing the end of its usefulness or it wears out and breaks, they already have access to what they need to get their machine back up and running quickly.



Deciding what industrial electronics, parts, and components you need to stock will depend on the type of CNC machines you use. The majority of CNC machines used today rely heavily on industrial electronics, computer programming, and other advanced technologies.

Five of the more common machines used include:

  1. Lathes: Finished parts and components are milled by cutting away material with precision. Lathe machines only have two-axes (the plural of “axis” is “axes”), so they are limited in the detail work they can deliver for more complex output. Most modern lathes are automated and use computer programming and other technologies to produce output.
  2. CNC Mills: Milling machines are designed to perform a wide range of operations to create the finished part and component. They can consist of two, three, four, or more axes systems. To produce finished parts and components, a computer program is used that contains detailed instructions on how to make the part, including how many parts to make.
  3. Water Jet Cutters: This type of CNC machine uses high-pressure water to mill the finished parts and components. It is used with materials that are sensitive to heat, as well as harder materials. Sand can be mixed with the water in some machines to perform the desired cutting and shaping. Computer programming is also used to control how parts are produced, including the amount of pressure used to remove the material.
  4. Plasma Cutters: This type of machine uses a plasma torch to cut through metal and other materials. The amount of heat and speed required to make the necessary cuts is often controlled by the machine’s programming and various industrial electronics.
  5. Electric Discharge Machines: This type of CNC machine uses electrical discharges to remove material from various materials and shape it into the desired output. Electrical currents need to be the right intensity to perform the desired material removal. These machines are also programmed using computers and can be automated to deliver precision electric charges at the precise moments for quality output.

No matter what types of CNC Machines you use, you can easily find industrial electronic supplies, servo drives, power supplies, circuit boards, spindle drivers, and more from CNC Tools Industrial Electronics.

 

How to Create an Inventory of Industrial Electronic Supplies, Parts & Components

To determine what level of industrial electronic supplies, parts, and components to keep on hand for your CNC machines, the first thing you want to do is make a list of each make and model you use. Each machine will have a wide assortment of serviceable parts and components.

The next thing you need to do is review your maintenance schedule for each machine. Most machines require maintenance after a set interval of hours in operation. Some maintenance tasks may also need to be completed at set monthly intervals.

Using these two pieces of information, your next objective is to make a list of each electronic supply, part, and component you can replace. From there, you will want to review which ones need to be replaced at set hourly or monthly intervals.



For example, servo drives will often have a maximum number of hours they will last. You will want to have replacement servo drives on hand in case one breaks or is reaching its maximum hours of operation. For other parts and components, which are replaced at set monthly intervals or less frequently, you may want to keep at least one of each on hand like power supplies and circuit boards.



In cases where you will be replacing a CNC machine in the near future, you will want to limit what parts and components you keep on hand to only essential ones like motors, spindle drives, etc.
