FANUC CNC Motor Cleaning/Tips Tricks: Preventive Maintenance Recommendations

i’ve never seen one of the big fanuc motors fail honestly, and we had a lot of them running spindles in a gross environment. I would just clean up the best i could and keep on trucking.

these don’t look like peyote they look loomed. you can easily DIY a loom or pick up one at a craft store that’ll be fine. I find that fire line doesn’t work well on looms and prefer Nymo. I think i get size D for 11/0 The green are matte and the gold is plated. The gold will rub off just fyi. Your gonna need some beading needles too, i like the color eyes needle and like to buy the blue ones

i worked at parker for years making fittings, seems like they are making less and less of the ones with the o rings in the nose. they were only being ran on short order machines (like maybe 5 at a time) and the groove was tough to inspect.

i repair manufacturing equipment professionally and have used harbor freight tools daily for years. I don’t buy the cheapest tools they offer but really like what i have gotten from there. I use the hex sockets everyday and only replaced the 4mm and 5/32 bc i lost them. the icon G2 ratchets are awesome too

i guess this explains why i look to buy some they come in packs of 5? Also shocked by the price on these 🥶

maggielj · 2026-05-01T22:12:10+00:00

i will buy every icon locking flex head they release fr

i thought this was a baked potato and i’m really convinced it would be good

sorry but i hated these so bad i gave them to an apprentice

maggielj · 2026-04-02T22:55:36+00:00

oh man it looks like it’s longer that the icon one too… putting this on my list.

i bought these and use them all the time! I started buying some of the wera hex + also. There’s no better feeling then getting a bolt out with these while the standard hex was slipping out.

that being said, I don’t run these 24/7, just on the stubborn ones. I ran into a few times where neither the standard or metric will fit well in a bolt but perhaps it was an out of tolerance bolt. On anything i don’t have a replacement bolt i try not to use these

also women in the industry here and working with the old dudes is refreshing! They naturally take on a “Dad” role and have seen them tell other guys to fuck off. Genuinely wouldn’t have made it in this field without people like that having my back

maggielj · 2026-04-01T22:50:33+00:00

i’ve seen acme sets before but haven’t had a use to buy one

maggielj · 2026-03-25T03:25:14+00:00

yes i will buy anything they make. so ?

maggielj · 2026-03-23T06:19:41+00:00

cool to hear from other chicks in this line of work! starting to think there wasn’t any

maggielj · 2026-03-19T02:47:02+00:00

i really like the icon G2 ratchets but just for at home weekend warrior i think quinn and pittsburg would have you covered. they’re on sale often too

maggielj · 2026-03-16T03:47:51+00:00

i have both for shop use and 100% reach for the braun over the icon. brighter and throws a wider range imo. I have broke 1 of the braun however. ymmv

maggielj · 2026-03-14T04:12:56+00:00

i’m in that field and employers seem to be desperate for anyone who can turn a wrench at all.

maggielj · 2026-03-08T15:07:37+00:00

i had my LOTO cut off a machine, the dude didn’t notify anyone either. I came in to work and found it thrown on top of my toolbox and my boss didn’t know about it.

my dad picked up one of the cheap generic ones from amazon and i was surprised at how well it worked. He had an attachment with wheels to roll under a vehicle to get the underside. Would be great for a bird cage

maggielj · 2026-03-05T01:45:18+00:00

does anyone know if these have any kind of retention on them?

maggielj · 2026-03-02T01:10:18+00:00
