Chapter 2 Milling
Compressed Air (Setting the Regulator)
WARNING
Turn the air pressure adjustment knob slowly and carefully.
Otherwise, the machine may move suddenly, posing a risk of injury.
MEMO
When CAM data is sent to the machine, it automatically adjusts the air
pressure to match the workpiece to mill.
Procedure
A
Pull up on the upper knob (the air pressure adjustment knob).
B
Slowly turn the upper knob to adjust the pressure to 0.2 MPa.
When the supply of air starts, the air starts to ow and the pressure drops. When the pressure has
dropped, adjust the regulator to have an appropriate value again. (Air is supplied when the spindle
rotates and when the milling bur is replaced.)
C
Push down on the upper knob.
IMPORTANT!
Be sure to congure the regulator
to 0.2 MPa. Anything higher may
result in a malfunction. If the
pressure is too low, the desired
results will not be obtained.
