KMX CNC Retrofit Safety, Programming, Operating & Care Manual
The pumping output can be regulated electronically to control the pause time
between pumping cycles, and the duration of the pumping cycle. The following
describes the buttons used to program the lube pump. In order to modify any of
the settings the spindle must be on.
The pump has an alarm that will sound if any of the following problems arise:
•
Oil line breakage
•
Oil filter blockage
•
Bad motor
•
Low oil pressure
•
No oil in tank
INT
(Interval) - this button programs the interval between pumping cycles.
Each press of the button increases the interval by one minute.
DIS
(Discharge) - this button programs the amount of time the pump will
discharge each pumping cycle. Each press of the button increases the discharge
time by one second.
FEED
- this button is used to manually feed the ways and ballscrews.
RST
- this button tells the pump to discharge for the time programmed.
Factory Default Values
Interval Time - 60 min.
Discharge Time - 15 sec
Discharge Pressure - Approximately 100 - 150psi
To adjust the amount of Discharge Pressure displayed on the lube pump gauge,
loosen the jam nut and turn the adjustment screw located on the top right side
of the lube pump while the lube pump is activated.
At the beginning of each day, check the oil level in the Auto Lube system. If low,
fill with Mobil Vactra Oil No. 2 or equivalent (SAE 30 or ISO 68).
CAUTION!
Failure to manually activate the pump at the beginning of each day, or allowing
the Auto Lube to run dry may cause severe damage to the TRAK K3KMX way
surfaces and ballscrews.
