Suddenly, the cutting process slowed down.

It would be good to first check the internal condition of the controller in the personal computer that functions as a numerical control, or NC unit for short. And we found that it was indeed dirty and dusty.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17915 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/577301.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1307\" height=\"1252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/577301.jpg 1307w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/577301-600x575.jpg 600w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/577301-1024x981.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/577301-768x736.jpg 768w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/577301-700x671.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1307px) 100vw, 1307px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17916 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/738759128_1934049397283207_9165610226246544098_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1477\" height=\"1108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/738759128_1934049397283207_9165610226246544098_n.jpg 1477w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/738759128_1934049397283207_9165610226246544098_n-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/738759128_1934049397283207_9165610226246544098_n-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/738759128_1934049397283207_9165610226246544098_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/738759128_1934049397283207_9165610226246544098_n-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/738759128_1934049397283207_9165610226246544098_n-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/738759128_1934049397283207_9165610226246544098_n-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1477px) 100vw, 1477px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After cleaning the various panel slots and removing dust from the circuit boards, and turning on the machine, all alarms disappeared&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cleaning isn\u2019t that difficult, but did we start doing it?
