ATTENTION
After the set screws (ET-30) have been adjusted the distance between the
axes must be checked (see Chapter 5.1.5).
NOTICE
In special cases, deviations are possible from the defined adjustment
values.
5.2.4
Coolants and lubricants
To dissipate the heat created during the rolling process, cooling is necessary (mini-
mum lubrication quantity is only available on request). Suitable coolants and lubricants
include liquids which are also used during machining operations. Use emulsions with
a dilution factor of 1:10 to 1:20, if appropriate with high-pressure additives, and low-
viscosity cutting oils. Always follow the instructions of the manufacturer as well as the
machine manufacturer.
ATTENTION
Make sure that the coolant is free of chips and particles to prevent any
foreign substances from rolling into the thread and to keep the wear of the
thread rolls and the rolling head to a minimum.
Furthermore, a high amount of chips can have a negative effect on rolling operations.
For this reason, the rolling head should ideally be connected to the central lubrication/
cooling system of the machine tool so that the coolant can flush any chips out of the
rolling head.
If possible, the rolling head should be provided with a chip protection system. The
rolling head should be inserted into the machine tool in such a way so that it is not
immediately contaminated with chips (e. g. using the top turret instead of the lower
turret for assembly).
