7.3 PIPES AND NOZZLES
The recommended pipes have an external diameter of 12 mm for the whole part of the system that can be covered
with this diameter.
The length of the aerosol pipeline should be kept as short as possible. The longer the aerosol pipeline length, the
greater the pressure and aerosol losses.
The aerosol lines should be laid as linearly as possible, especially avoiding "narrow bows", otherwise there is a danger
of lubricant precipitation. If deflection connections cannot be avoided, they must have a radius of at least 200 mm.
The aerosol pipeline should have a continuous slope in the direction of the machine. Downward curves should be
avoided as much as possible since lubricant could accumulate at these points if the machine is stopped.
The feeding of aerosols into spindles or rotating tools should be carried out as far as possible in the axial direction. In
the case of radial adduction, it can happen, especially at high spindle speeds, that the lubricant is "centrifuged out",
thus causing a separation of the aerosol.
This is particularly the case when used with small tools with high rotational speed.
WARNING
The equipment must operate according to the
parameters indicated in the technical
characteristics.
8. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The same general procedures and precautions typical of the installation of traditional lubrication and cooling systems
must be observed.
8.1 MaXtreme SETTINGS
Refer to the figure in paragraph 6
Air quantity: by air pressure regulator with pressure gauge.
Oil quantity: through the flow control valve.
8.2 START-UP - BASIC PRINCIPLES
Refer to the figure in the paragraph. 6
a)
Close the air pressure regulator valve completely by turning the ring nut counterclockwise.
b)
Connect the compressed air hose via the appropriate mains air connection.
c)
Mount the tool in the machine.
d)
Open the following valves:
Manual on/off slide valve for compressed air by moving it horizontally to (ON).
Turn the ring nut of the air pressure regulator until you get 6 bar reading on the pressure gauge.
f)
Open operating valve.
g)
NOTICE
During operation in HP mode, the percentage of oil indicated on
the flowmeter may be at a maximum of 20%.
LP flow rate in percentage of oil indicated on the flowmeter may
be at a maximum of 100%.
The oil flow rate of the HP nozzle is not adjustable.
