QUICK SIX
Daily Maintenance
Verify the Air Pressure
The recommended setting for operation with optimum performance should be at a minimum pressure of 5 bar (75 psi.) and a
maximum pressure of 6 bar (90 psi.).
Weekly Maintenance
Verify that the Air Decanter is Empty
The air-filtering device is equipped with and automatic drainage valve, but depending on how much water is in the pneumatic circuit of
the building, the water that is recuperated can build up faster than it can be drained. Excess water in the air lines can cause
pneumatic cylinders to become defective. The water causes the o-rings inside the cylinder to swell up and no longer function
correctly.
Hydraulic Oil Level
When checking the level of the hydraulic oil, allow the bar feed to set idle for at least one hour so that the oil inside the coffin has time
to drain back into the tank. If the oil is not allowed this time to drain back into the tank, the tank may look low, and if the oil is added it
may cause an overflow.
Monthly Maintenance
Cleaning of the bar feeder
Wipe down the outside of the bar feeder with a cloth and any regular detergent. For cleaning the inside of the bar feed use a cloth or
brush. However, do not use the detergents on any of the guiding channels or any other parts made of synthetic materials. The use of
compressed air for cleaning is not advisable, because chips and other particles can become lodged in sensitive areas and can impede
the proper operation of the bar feeder.
Hydraulics
Check the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil. It is important to wipe down the bars (even briefly) before loading them on the magazine
rack. The bar feed recirculates the oil; excessive dirt and metal chips can form a deposit at the base of the coffin which can slow the
oil return. The metal chips can also become lodged in the hydraulic pump causing the pump to lock up and/or the pump motor to
overheat.
Rotating sleeves
In order to guarantee the correct operation of the bar feeder, the rotating sleeve must function perfectly. Although the construction of
the sleeve is very sturdy and reliable, it is recommended to verify periodically that it rotates without friction. If a defect should be
present, please contact your local agent. This is a wear item and it is recommended to keep spares on hand, refer to
Recommended
Spare Parts List .
Belt
Over time, it is possible that the tension of the belt may loosen up. To tighten the belt, refer to Belt Tension Adjustment procedure .
