SPINDLE B REAK-IN
Caution! Spindle break-in program must be run before spindle can be run above 1000
RPM. Failure to run this program can result in spindle over heating and
failure.
Before running the spindle, a spindle break-in must be performed. A program has been supplied with the
machine, which will slowly run the spindle up to speed (approx. 2 hrs.). This will purge out any oil which may
have settled at the nose of the spindle, due to long idle time. The program is # O02021 Spindle Break-In and
will be used for all spindle types and RPM's. For machines equipped with 7,500 RPM or 10,000 RPM spindle
run the above programs with spindle speed override at 100%. For machines equipped with 15,000 RPM spindle,
run spindle speeds overrides at 150%. For machies equipped with a 50 taper spindle, run spindle speed
override at 50%.
If this program was not supplied with the machine, contact your dealer.
The spindle should be checked periodically for spindle temperature rise. If the temperature rises above 150
degrees, start the program from the beginning (refer to service manual for overheating troubleshooting).
