How to Maintain Ball Screw & Linear Guide Rail of Die Board Laser Cutting Machine

Feb. 10, 2026

With Patented Ball Screw Oil Soaking Design

In a die board laser cutting machine, the ball screw and linear guide rail are core transmission components that directly affect:

For plywood laser cutter users, mechanical precision is just as important as laser power.

To improve durability and stability, our wooden die laser machine is equipped with a Patented Ball Screw Soak-with-Oil System, which significantly enhances lubrication performance.

How to Maintain Ball Screw

Why Ball Screw Maintenance Is Critical

During operation, a wooden die laser machine generates:

If dust accumulates on the ball screw and guide rail:

In traditional laser cutting machines, lubrication relies only on surface grease application, which can dry out or become contaminated quickly.

Patented Ball Screw Soak-with-Oil System

To solve common lubrication problems, our die board laser cutting machine adopts a Ball Screw Soak-with-Oil patented design.

How It Works

Instead of relying only on external grease application, the ball screw is:

This design ensures:

Benefits for Die Making Factories

Compared with conventional lubrication methods, the patented oil soaking system offers:

More Stable Precision

Consistent lubrication reduces backlash and vibration.

Longer Service Life

Reduced metal-to-metal contact significantly lowers wear.

Lower Maintenance Cost

Less frequent manual lubrication is required.

Better Performance in Dusty Environments

Oil film helps reduce dust adhesion on screw surface.

For plywood laser cutter applications, this is especially valuable due to high dust environments.

Linear Guide Rail Maintenance

Even with the ball screw oil soaking system, regular guide rail maintenance remains essential.

Recommended Cleaning Frequency

Cleaning Steps

  1. Wipe linear guide rail using clean cotton cloth

  2. Remove all visible dust and debris

  3. Apply small amount of rail oil 

  4. Run the die board laser cutting machine back and forth to distribute oil evenly

Important Precautions

Keep Surroundings Clean

Dust is the main enemy of precision components.

Avoid Impact During Installation

Never hit guide rail directly with a hammer.

Rust Prevention

During humid seasons:

When Maintenance Is Overdue

Watch for:

These may indicate lubrication issues or contamination.

Final Advice

In a wooden die laser machine, stable motion transmission is the foundation of cutting accuracy.

By combining:

Your die board laser cutting machine can maintain:

Proper mechanical maintenance directly protects your production efficiency.
