AI at the service of machine tools
Artificial Intelligence is now among us. Just as electricity did a hundred years ago, AI today promises to change the world. No industrial sector is exempt from this epoch-making change, from the food industry to manufacturing, to mechanical engineering and many others. In addition to being on everyone's lips, the advent of Artificial Intelligence is increasingly imposing itself in the world of work, marking a new step forward for Industry 5.0, so much so as to raise legitimate concerns as opposed to great expectations from the point of view of technological optimisation in contemporary smart factories. In particular, with regard to integration with the CNC machine park, the coupling of automated systems such as robots and cobots, and the improvement of production flow and safety in the workplace.

Machine tool maintenance: how to extend the life of numerically controlled machines
The importance of preventive maintenance for CNC machine tools
Just like any other equipment within a company, it is crucial to check the health of machine tools. Failure to do so can result in very serious risks, including decreased productivity, machine downtime and even unexpected repair expenses. This is why, in recent years, many manufacturers have embraced a philosophy of prevention by conducting regular and rigorous checks on CNCs and replacing mechanical and electrical components subject to wear and tear. Otherwise, meeting the standards demanded of a modern smart factory operating within an Industry 4.0 supply chain would be impossible.

Più Increased safety for your machine tools
Numerical control machines play a central role in modern smart factories that have embraced the benefits and challenges of Industry 4.0. Affinché However, they must function optimally in order to consistently perform at their maximum capacity. Otherwise, there is a risk of unforeseen production slowdowns, machine downtime and, in some cases, even severe damages and financial losses. How can we prevent these risks? By scheduling an annual electronic and mechanical check-up. Performing scheduled preventive maintenance on your CNC machines means safeguarding the well-being of your personnel and the entire production chain.
