Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is a planned service approach that involves inspecting, adjusting, and servicing cutting machines before failures occur. For fibre laser, plasma, oxyfuel, and CNC systems, it helps reduce unexpected downtime, extend machine life, and maintain consistent cut quality.

The ideal frequency depends on machine type, usage hours, and production environment. Most manufacturers benefit from scheduled maintenance every 3 to 12 months. ACM works with you to create maintenance schedules tailored to your equipment and production demands.

Our technicians perform scheduled inspections covering mechanical and electrical systems, machine alignment and calibration, drives, controls, motion systems, torch and cutting head evaluations, software checks, and wear component replacement. Everything is documented.
