2.1 Verify that mold holders are perfectly horizontal. Note that the mold
holders are installed on a system that will give them an oblique angle,
but should still keep them in the horizontal plane.
2.2 Verify that flux spillage is not present on holders anywhere. (Refer to
appropriate section in case flux deposits are found.)
2.3 Verify that crucibles holder(s) is (are) free to rock and pour into the
molds, without rubbing or hitting anything. To do so, manually move the
crucibles holder to simulate the movement of rocking and pouring.
2.4 Using the appropriate tools, verify that screws that are used to secure
the grip assembly for the mold fingers are well tightened.
2.5 Manually swing the holders down to their lowest position, then manually
open the door and finally gently push the holders upwards inside the
furnace. Verify that there is no rubbing or undue contact. (Refer to page
58,
Mold holder configuration, assembly and alignment for details.)
In the case that an adjustment or replacement need to be done, please refer
to the appropriate section of the Service operations chapter (see page 56).
Air filter for the
molds cooling
IMPORTANT : Always disconnect the instrument from the power outlet when
working with panels removed. 240 Volts inside! Risk of electrocution!
The air that is drawn through the blowers to cool the molds goes through a filter
before actually entering into the unit. This filter will catch medium to large sized
airborne particles, and requires periodic cleaning.
1. Pull on the instrument to slide it towards the edge of the countertop. (Be
careful not to have its front legs exceed the countertop.)
2. Using a long hexagonal key, remove the front U-shaped aluminum extrusion
that makes up the filter frame.
3. Simply pull the fiber filter horizontally towards you, like a drawer, and clean it
before sliding it back in place. Cleaning methods include simply shaking it
(preferably outside), or blowing it with compressed air, or with a vacuum
cleaner. Cleaning under running water is also possible, provided that the filter
is completely dry before being re-installed.
4. Re-install the aluminum frame and push the fluxer back in its original location.
Furnace
chimney
cleaning
The furnace is fitted with one chimney per position, whose main purpose is to vent
out the chemicals that are expelled during fusion. It is advisable to check
periodically that the chimneys’ insides are still clean, and to scrub them if needed,
as condensed material may build up over time.
