Step 4: Set Up the Chiller
Chiller Overview
The CW-3000 chiller is a non-refrigerated, industrial chiller. It continually routes coolant (distilled water,
windshield wiper fluid, or antifreeze) through the spindle to prevent overheating and to maintain consistent,
high-quality cutting.
In the event of a malfunction, the chiller will display an error code on the LED screen. Error codes are listed in
the included chiller manual. Contact the Carbide 3D tech support team at
support@carbide3d.com for
assistance troubleshooting error codes.
WARNINGS:
•
The chiller MUST be turned on when operating the spindle. Operating the spindle without the chiller
could cause fire and/or catastrophic damage to the spindle, VFD, or machine.
•
Always leave the chiller on for an additional 5 – 10 minutes AFTER turning off the spindle/VFD to allow
the spindle to completely cool.
•
Never run the chiller when the coolant tank is empty.
•
Ensure there is plenty of clear space on all sides of the chiller to allow for adequate air circul ation.
NOTES:
•
Always use distilled water, windshield wiper fluid, or antifreeze in the chiller. Using tap or other non -
distilled water will lead to bacteria growth inside the tank.
•
Antifreeze is recommended when operating in a cold environment.
Setting Up the Chiller
1. Place the chiller on the base of the workbench or on the floor beneath it.
a. Each side of the chiller must be clear so air can circulate freely around the device. This will keep
the coolant at ambient air temperature.
2. Open the water-supply inlet on the top of the chiller and fill the reservoir tank with distilled water,
windshield wiper fluid, or antifreeze. Do not overfill.
3. Locate the two 8mm clear coolant tubes exiting the Y-Axis drag chain (at back-right corner).
4. Push the tubes into the two 8mm push-fittings on the back of the chiller. The tubes are interchangeable.
5. Plug the power cord into the jack on the back of the chiller and into a power outlet.
