MAINTENANCE S CHEDULE
The following is a list of required regular maintenance for the machining center. These required specifications must
be followed in order to keep your machine in good working order and protect your warranty.
Interval Maintenance Performed
Daily • Check coolant level each eight-hour shift (especially during heavy TSC usage).
• Check way lube lubrication tank level.
• Clean chips from way covers and bottom pan.
• Clean chips from tool changer.
• Wipe spindle taper with a clean cloth rag and apply light oil.
Weekly • Check Through the Spindle Coolant (TSC) filters. Clean or replace element if needed.
• Check for proper operation of auto drain on filter regulator.
• On machines with the TSC option, clean the chip basket on the coolant tank.
Remove the tank cover and remove any sediment inside the tank. Disconnect the coolant
pump from the cabinet and power off the machine before working on the coolant tank.
Do this MONTHLY for machines without the TSC option.
• Check air gauge/regulator for 85 psi. Check the spindle air pressure regulator for
17 psi. For 15K-spindle machines, check spindle air pressure regulator for 20 psi.
• For machines with the TSC option, place a dab of grease on the V-flange of tools.
Do this MONTHLY for machines without the TSC option.
• Clean exterior surfaces with mild cleaner. DO NOT use solvents.
• Check the hydraulic counterbalance pressure according to the machine’s specifica-
tions.
Monthly • Check oil level in gear box. For 40 taper spindles: Remove inspection cover beneath
spindle head. Add oil slowly from top until oil begins dripping from overflow tube at
bottom of sump tank. For 50 taper spindles: Check oil level in sight glass. Add from
side of gearbox if necessary.
• Inspect way covers for proper operation and lubricate with light oil, if necessary.
• Place a dab of grease on the outside edge of the guide rails of the tool changer and run
through all tools.
• Check SMTC oil level in sight glass, (see Side Mount Tool Changer Oil Level in this
section).
• EC-400 Clean the locating pads on the A-axis and the load station. This requires
removing the pallet
Six Months • Replace coolant and thoroughly clean the coolant tank.
• Check all hoses and lubrication lines for cracking.
• Check the rotary A-axis. If necessary add oil (Mobil SHC-630). The correct oil level is
halfway on the sight glass.
Annually • Replace the gearbox oil. Drain the oil from the bottom of the gearbox.
Remove inspection cover beneath spindle head. Add oil slowly from top until oil begins
dripping from overflow tube at bottom of sump tank. For 50 taper spindles, add oil from
the side of the transmission.
• Check oil filter and clean out residue at bottom of filter.
2 years • Replace air filter on control box.
• EC-400 Replace the Rotary A-axis oil
