Introduction

A proper shutdown procedure is just as important as a correct startup. Turning off your CNC router the right way helps protect machine components, reduces unnecessary wear, and keeps the equipment ready for the next production task.

Follow these simple steps after every machining job.

Step 1: Finish the Machining Program

Before shutting down the machine, make sure the machining program has finished completely.

Wait until:

• The spindle has stopped.

• All machine movement has ended.

• The control system shows the program is complete.

Never power off the machine while it is still operating.

Step 2: Remove the Finished Workpiece

Carefully remove the finished product from the machine table.

Check the machining quality and remove any remaining material or waste before preparing for the next job.

Step 3: Clean the Machine

Use compressed air or a vacuum cleaner to remove chips and dust from:

• Machine table

• Guide rails

• Spindle area

Keeping the machine clean helps maintain machining accuracy and reduces wear on moving parts.

Step 4: Return the Machine to the Home Position

Move the spindle back to the home or reference position according to your machine settings.

This makes the next startup easier and helps protect the machine during idle periods.

Step 5: Turn Off the Power

After cleaning and checking the machine:

• Exit the control software.

• Turn off the spindle.

• Switch off the main power supply.

• Close the air compressor if required.

Following the correct shutdown sequence helps ensure safe operation.
