Darex XPS-16+ - General Maintenance; Vacuum System and Lubrication Maintenance

32
Remember:
• There is no adjustment for Split Down Angle and Secondary Facet Angle.
• Use of ADVANCE is not compensated for in the Split parameters.
• Use a silver marking pen to enhance the cutting edge for drill alignment. Use a black
marking pen to minimize reections from the ute area on bright nish drills.
• When sharpening small drills (<3/16”), start with the cutting edge close to the 2 o’clock
position for better drill alignment.
• The material selector HSS vs. CARBIDE, changes some of the grind sensitivities and slows
down the split rotation.
• Grind Wheel Offsets are not saved with the drill les.
• For stepped-shank drills, set the Drill Diameter to the correct value.
General Maintenance
To extend the life of the sharpener, it is recommended a routine
maintenance program be put in place. Every 200 machine hours is
suggested, or more often if necessary.
Vacuum system
Check lter on a regular basis. Inspect all hoses for cuts or tears.
Tip: Do not use machine if hoses are damaged.
1. Unplug vacuum from power source.
2. Using a ¼ hex key wrench remove bolt and washer.
3. Wearing protective gloves, remove top ½ cover of vacuum canister,
remove lter cartridge. Appropriately dispose of used lter.
4. Unthread plastic nut retaining bottom ½ of vacuum canister,
remove bottom ½ of vacuum canister.
5. Clean out residual grinding dust from bottom of canister.
6. Replace with new lter cartridge.
Lubrication Screen
After ±250 sharpening cycles, the “LUBRICATION” screen will
come up and the machine will need to go through the self-lubing process.
1. Remove drill from chuck.
2. Press the [CHECK] icon. This will begin the self-lubing cycle. Keep hands free from
machine, because as it goes into the lubing process, the X, Z and A axis will begin to move
simultaneously with various degrees of freedom not used during the normal dril sharpening
routine. DO NOT INTERUPT THIS PROCESS. The lube cycle will last 45 seconds.
3. Upon completion, the lubing screen will disappear and the original screen will return. Do not
interrupt or stop machine once the lubing cycle has begun.
