B-18 REGULAR INSPECTION
11.
INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT OF SLIDE SEALS
Slide seals are used on each slideway. The slide seals are used to prevent the entry of chips
beyond them and to maintain an oil film of uniform thickness.
Check the slide seals periodically.
Pay careful attention to abnormal wear on the lip or scratches or damage due to chips.
If you find any abnormality on a slide seal, replace it immediately.
Before changing the slide seals, clean the inside of the machine and remove foreign
matter and chips completely. Chips or foreign matter sticking to the slideway faces will
cause machine faults.
<Cleaning interval>
Every 1000 hours of operation
WARNING
Be sure to shut off the power before inspecting or replacing the slide seal.
CAUTION
