Cooling System Flush/Refill:
On AutoRoute Elite series machines, every 4-6 months the electro
spindle cooling system should be flushed and refilled to guarantee
that the coolant is fresh and able to perform optimally.
The cooling system consists of a clear reservoir/pump assembly.
To flush this system, it is recommended that users acquire the
following:
1.
A small (12 inch) section of 5mm tubing. (
Included in
MK468
CNC
Maintenance kit
)
2.
Empty container used to catch old fluid.
3.
Container of distilled water (Flush).
4.
Fresh Propylene Glycol (RV/Marine
Grade) coolant.
First, locate the cooling system which can be
found on the rear side of the gantry. Uncover
the cooling system by removing the 3-screws
which hold the black cover in place.
Once the cover is removed, notice the cooling
pump/reservoir, as seen here:
The output from the pump is going directly
into the radiator. From there the fluid travels
up the wire chain to the spindle then back to
the pump through the return tube.
To flush the system, removing all the old
coolant and preparing for the new fluids:
1.
Remove the black plug from the purge valve. The black collar attached to the elbow will need to be pressed
in while you pull the black plug out, as seen here:
2.
Attach a short section of tubing to that same fitting and run it to an empty container.
3.
Move the toggle switch to the (Flush) position.
Make sure the spindle RPM is turned to Zero (F0.00). Then
from the main coordinate screen, manually cycle the
spindle/pump on by pressing the ON/OFF button on the
controller.
This will cause the pump to draw up the distilled water
(Flush) and push out the old fluids and water through the
other line.
Once the coolant has been flushed from the system. Press
the ON/OFF button again to stop pump.
