CNC Pipe Bending Machine Preventive Maintenance & Refurbishment
1. Overview
We carried out a scheduled maintenance and refurbishment project for a long-term automotive parts supplier, supporting a CNC pipe bending machine installed since 2008. As the original service provider, we have been delivering continuous after-sales support to ensure consistent machine performance and reliability.
2. Machine Details
- CNC pipe bending machine (by CSM)
- Servo motor-driven system
- Bi-directional bending capability (CW & CCW)
- Maximum pipe diameter: 38 mm
3. Challenge
After years of operation, key machine components experienced wear and tear, affecting bending accuracy, consistency, and overall production reliability.
4. Solution Provided
Our service team performed a complete overhaul of critical components, including:
- Dismantling of bending axis assembly
- Replacement of worn gears, bearings, and shafts
- Cleaning and re-lubrication of key mechanical parts
- Precision reassembly to restore original tolerance
Upon completion, we conducted:
- Origin resetting and calibration
- Program adjustment support to ensure compatibility with existing jigs and products
5. Execution
Team: 3 technicians
Duration: 5 working days
On-site servicing with minimal disruption to surrounding operations
6. Result
- Restored machine accuracy and stability
- Improved consistency in bending quality
- Extended machine lifespan
- Reduced risk of unplanned downtime
