• Inspect the coolant collector at the rear of the spindle to ensure it is draining
properly and is not blocked by chips. If cutting chips accumulate in the collector,
install a plug in the spindle/chuck bore to prevent this. – Also see “hydraulic
chuck” below.
• Hydraulic chuck - If machine is equipped with a hydraulic chuck and the
drawtube bore is not being used, install the chuck plug supplied in order to stop
fine chips from working their way into the coolant collector screen. If the coolant
collector overflows, coolant may be allowed to contaminate the hydraulic oil.
Apply a few pumps of general-purpose synthetic grease to each grease zerk on
the chuck itself.
Monthly
• Inspect ballscrews and way surfaces. Adjust gibs if necessary.
• Inspect all oil lines, and ensure all ballscrews and way surfaces are receiving oil.
Repair or replace oil lines as necessary.
• Inspect all belts for excess wear, damage, and proper tension.
• Check operation of low air pressure switch (if equipped). Remove compressed
air source from the machine and verify that a red alarm message box appears at
the front panel display.
WARNING:
Arc flash and shock hazard. Follow ALL requirements in NFPA 70E for safe
work practices and for Personal Protective Equipment before opening electrical
cabinet or performing adjustments or diagnostic measurements while energized.
Only qualified personnel should attempt to take current and voltage readings or
perform service. See the safety checklist on page 2 for qualifications.
• Power down the machine. Open the door to the electrical cabinet at the back of
the machine. Check for loose wires or loose components.
Annually
• Check backlash to ensure proper axis motion and response.
• Check taper. Machine settling can affect machine geometry.
• Clean the intake screen on the way lube pump.
• Change hydraulic oil (if equipped)
