17.9 Guide rails and drive shafts
The guide rails and drive shafts are provided with long-term lubrication
and are maintenance free. If necessary, they will be re-lubricated during
maintenance by a qualified Planmeca service technician.
17.10 Extraction systems
The optional extraction systems supplied by Planmeca serve exclusively to
vacuum dry milling dust. It is prohibited to vacuum coolant lubricant residues
with the optional extraction systems supplied by Planmeca, and this leads to
damage and even destruction of the extraction system!
The optional extraction systems from Planmeca must be cleaned and
maintained regularly. Observe the separate operating and maintenance
instructions depending on the selected extraction system! Dispose of
contaminants that have collected in the filter and collection container
professionally and correctly, in accordance with the legal provisions and
local regulations!
17.11 Lights
The interior of the milling unit is illuminated by special LED strips. These
must be wiped clean with a dry cloth regularly, or when needed.
If the interior lighting fails, the machine must be shut down because the
machining process must be able to be monitored at all times. The machine
may only be started up again when the interior lighting has been replaced or
fixed by an authorised Planmeca service technician.
17.12 Ventilation fan filters
The two ventilation fan filters located on the rear side of the machine in the
connection panel must be removed and cleaned regularly, or when needed.
You can access the fan filter by carefully taking off the black plastic cover by
hand. Clean the filters by brushing and/or vacuuming them.
New ventilation filters can be ordered from your local Planmeca dealer, if
needed.
17.13 Coolant lubricants
Only use coolant lubricants approved by Planmeca. Coolant lubricants
approved by Planmeca must be used in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. It is essential to strictly observe the data sheets and safety
instructions of the manufacturer in this regard. The required intervals for
replacing the liquids must always reflect the manufacturer's instructions.
When cleaning coolant lubricant residues from inside the machine, we
recommend the use of disposable wipes.
Always dispose of operating substances correctly, in accordance with the
legal provisions and local regulations! The coolant lubricant is available from
Planmeca.
17.14 Coolant lubricant tank
Empty and clean the coolant lubricant tank at least every two weeks. For
heavier use, the coolant lubricant tank must be emptied and cleaned at
shorter intervals.
