Machine Setup
Quick Setup
•
Determine the surface to be machined.
•
Determine a level plane to use for mounting the machine.
• Mount and level the bed to the work piece.
• Attach the machining arm.
• Attach the milling head.
• Adjust for flatness.
• Begin machining.
Standard Linear Mill Setup
Proper setup of the machine will require that you know the plane to be machined in relation to
the position the machine will be setup. See the Specifications section of this manual for the
applicable range of this machine. Also see the Dimensions section of this manual for the
machine dimensions. Since the machine can be setup in sections of varying length, this setup
will cover the basics of a short bed setup.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Climax.
Determine the level plane for attaching the machine next to the work piece. There are a number
of precision surfaces to use as a datum. See the Datum Surfaces section for more information.
Take into consideration the vertical travel of the milling assembly, the horizontal travel of the
ram, and the bed travel when positioning the machine. See the Operational Dimensions section
for more information.
The milling head can be positioned in 90 degree increments, with slight adjustments to the
angle of the milling head possible. There is also an optional swivel head available for this
machine that increases the flexibility for milling or drilling to 360 degrees.
Once the position for mounting the machine has been determined, survey the mounting position
for high spots or other irregularities. Make corrections where necessary.
The bed is equipped with leveling screws for minor adjustments. To use a leveling screw, make
sure the bed’s fasteners are loose before applying force.
CAUTION
Be very careful not to over tighten any leveling screws! This could cause the bed
to warp. Warping becomes obvious when the saddle binds at the warped point
of the rail. Contact Climax immediately if you suspect the bed is warped. Do not
attempt to straighten the bed or the rails.
