5. Maintenance
The CRT is designed to provide reliable service for long periods of operation. While simple in design, there are
parts in the assembly that are not serviceable by the user. The user is encouraged to return the unit to ATI for
service.
Section 6—Troubleshooting and Service Procedures is provided to assist the user when they choose to
service the unit in the field.
For all service, it is recommended that the air supply (before the solenoid valves) be disconnected. Purge any
trapped air pressure in the lines. It is suggested that the air supply be “locked out” to prevent accidental operation
of the spindle. During maintenance operations, refer to
Section 6—Troubleshooting and Service Procedures
for maintenance instructions. Service and repair parts are identified in Section 7—Serviceable Parts and
Section 9—Drawings .
The CRT is of modular construction. The subassemblies shown in Section 9—Drawings may be purchased and
installed quickly to return a unit to operation.
5.1 Pneumatics
The air lines to the reciprocating tools should be checked routinely for their general condition and replaced
as "required". The air to the CRT must be filtered and lubricated. The air filters should be checked and
replaced as required to maintain optimum performance. The life of the filter elements is dependent on the
quality of compressed air at the customer’s facility and therefore cannot be estimated.
5.2 Lubrication
The CRT air motor must be supplied with clean, filtered, and lubricated air. See Section 3.7—Pneumatics for
details on air supply and quality.
CAUTION: It is recommended that the customer use a coalescing filter and filter
elements rated 30 micron or better.
5.3 File Inspection
The file will wear depending on cut depth, feed rate, and the material that is being filed. Inspect the file
regularly for wear and refer to
Section 6—Troubleshooting and Service Procedures for symptoms of a worn
file. If necessary, replace the file (refer to Section 6.2.1—File Replacement ).
5.4 Spindle Boot Inspection
The spindle boot prevents debris from entering the housing and protects internal components. Inspect the
boot regularly for damage (refer to
Section 6.2.3—Boot Replacement ).
