Machine Maintenance
Proper maintenance of the machine is very important for maintaining performance, longevity, and
safety. Observe all safety guidelines in Section 4. Only qualified technicians should perform inspection,
maintenance, and repair of pneumatic, electrical, and mechanical systems. For a list of spare parts and
part numbers see Section 10.3.
9.1
Daily Maintenance
9.1.1
Start of Shift
Check that the main air supply is on and that the regulator (located on pneumatics panel see
Figure 5-11) is set to 85psi.
Verify all service doors and guarding are closed, locked, or otherwise secured, and that
safety interlocks are functioning properly.
Verify there are no loose parts, tools, or other objects in the work area.
Inspect the I.D. of the work and tool holding chucks for debris, burrs or other anomalies.
Verify the chucks actuate and release properly.
NEVER ACTUATE A HYDRAULIC CHUCK
WITHOUT A PRECISION STEM FULLY INSERTED
(see Section 5.9 for additional information).
Ensure the tool-holder and spindle tapers are clean and free of burs. See Section
9.1.2
End of Shift
Remove any loose parts, tools, or other objects from the work area.
Wipe down the machine’s exterior as needed.
Clean the Touch Screen with a clean soft COTTON CLOTH using any standard glass cleaner as
long as there is no abrasive or oily content; DO NOT USE PAPER TOWELS OR DIRTY CLOTHS.
Vinegar or ammonia will not hurt the screen. To minimize over-run of cleaning solution,
spray the cloth first and then clean the screen.
Remove and clean the Centrifuge Liner. This may be done more often depending on
material removal rates. See Section 9.7.
Clean the work area thoroughly.
Remove the Tool-Holder from the Tool Spindle. Leaving the tool in the spindle for long
periods can cause it to seize and make removal difficult.
9.2
Weekly Maintenance
Perform a thorough cleaning and inspection of the machine.
Check the fluid level in the chiller and top-off if it is low with 30% Ethylene Glycol and 70%
Distilled Water; OptiPro recommends DOWTHERM SR-1.
Wipe down the machine’s exterior.
