Ukusebenza okusisiseko kwezixhumi kunokwahlulwa zibe ngamacandelo amathathu: ukusebenza komatshini, ukusebenza kombane kunye nokusebenza kokusingqongileyo. Enye ipropati ebalulekileyo yomatshini bubomi bomatshini bokudibanisa. Ubomi boomatshini ngokwenene luphawu lokuqina, olubizwa ngokuba ngumsebenzi womatshini kumgangatho wesizwe we-GB5095. Kuthatha ukufakwa kunye nokutsalwa okukodwa njengomjikelo, kwaye kuthatha ukuba isinxibelelanisi sinokugqiba umsebenzi walo wokudibanisa (njengexabiso lokumelana noqhagamshelwano) emva kokufaka okuchaziweyo kunye nomjikelo wokukhutshwa njengesiseko sokugweba.
Ipropati yeMechanical Ngokubhekiselele kumsebenzi wokudibanisa, ukufakwa kunye nokukhupha amandla yipropati ebalulekileyo yomatshini. Ukufakwa kunye nokutsalwa{1}kumandla okukhupha kwahlulwe kumandla okufaka kunye nokutsala-ngaphandle kwamandla (ukukhupha{3}}amandla okuphuma kukwabizwa ngokuba ngamandla okwahlukana), kwaye iimfuno zabo zahlukile. Kukho izibonelelo kumandla aphezulu okufaka kunye nokwahlula amandla amancinci kwimigangatho echaphazelekayo, ebonisa ukuba kwimbono yokusetyenziswa, amandla okufaka ancinci (ngoko kukho izakhiwo ezinomlinganiselo ophantsi wokufaka i-LIF kwaye akukho mandla okufaka i-ZIF), kwaye ukuba amandla okuhlukana kuncinci kakhulu, ukuthembeka koqhagamshelwano kuya kuchaphazeleka. Ukufakwa kunye nokuhoxiswa kwamandla kunye nobomi bomatshini bokudibanisa buhambelana nesakhiwo soqhagamshelwano (uxinzelelo olulungileyo), umgangatho wokugquma wecandelo loqhagamshelwano (i-sliding coefficient friction) kunye nokuchaneka kwe-dimensional (ukulungelelaniswa) kwelungiselelo loqhagamshelwano.
