5.2
Electrical connection
The HF spindle may only be operated with a frequency converter (FC).
Ü
Check whether the current, voltage, and frequency data of the HF spindle
match the raw data for the frequency converter.
Ü
Use a motor supply line that is as short as possible.
Ü
Adjust the speed of the HF spindle using the FC.
Ü
Refer to the frequency converter manual for further information.
The FC detects the following operating states of the HF spindle, depending on
the version:
q
HF spindle rotating.
q
HF spindle too hot.
q
HF spindle at a standstill, etc.
The FC forwards the operating states of the HF spindle to the machine con-
troller.
Note: Connect the SpeedTEC quick locking connector.
u
For the combination SpeedTEC connector plug/SpeedTEC cable plug:
u
Remove the O ring on the SpeedTEC connector plug.
5.3
Cooling
The high frequency spindle does not require extra cooling. The heat that is
produced is dissipated via the housing of the HF spindle.
Note: Extension of the service life through heat dissipation.
Heat is produced during operation of the HF spindle. The temperature of the
HF spindle should not 45° C as this shortens the service life of the
bearing.
u
Check the temperature of the HF spindle on the housing.
5.4
Sealing air
For guidelines on air quality,
see "Air purity classes (ISO
8573-1)
" section.
The sealing air prevents foreign bodies such as chips and liquids (e.g. emul-
sions) from entering the HF spindle.
Ü
Check that air escapes at the front between the housing and the rotating
parts of the HF spindle.
