Pre-startup Checks
1) Examine the oil levels. Both should be filled before the levels are
one inch from the bottom of the reservoir. The spindle oil
reservoir may have oil in it for up to six months. The way lube oil
reservoir may run out of oil in one week.
Note:
VMCs with linear way systems require grease. See the Maintenance
Manual for specifications on the way lube and the spindle oil.
2) Visually inspect the air pressure gauge to verify that it is set to at
least 80-100 PSI. Air is used to change belt ranges in the spindle,
orient the spindle, activate the tool in-out cylinder, and for the
air blast during a tool change. The tool changer gauge should
not exceed 120 PSI.
3) Most new VMC models release water collected in the water
reservoir automatically. It is advisable to place an additional
water trap in the air line going to the machine.
