9.2 Troubleshooting Unloading Failures
If the part fails to be unloaded or only is partially pulled back into the Blaze Air, then check the
for the following:
Vacuum Leaks:
Move the lathe spindle head forward so that the front of the Blaze Air Vacuum Liner can be
blocked.
In jog mode (see
Section 5.3: Jog Mode
), Turn on the Blower and jog the Vacuum Tube
forward. This will apply vacuum to the Blaze Air.
Using sturdy cardboard, block the front of the Blaze Air Vacuum Liner. The vacuum should
hold the cardboard in place.
Check the reading on the Vacuum Gauge on the front of the Guard. It should read
between 70 – 90 inches of water.
If the Vacuum Gauge is less than 70 inches of water then check the following:
Listen for vacuum leaks in the system. Start at the front of the Blaze Air Vacuum Tube and
work back towards the filter. Check the following items:
The seal at the front between the Vacuum Liner and the Vacuum Tube
The seal between the phenolic lid and the Metal Vacuum Tube
The seal around the Vacuum Tube End Cap
The Vacuum Hose to the filter box
The Coolant Dump & Leak Valves on the filter box should be closed
The seal on filter box
Open the Base and check the Vacuum hose and its connections
Open the Base and check that the Hinged Valve is closed and sealed
Blower Exhaust Muffler:
Depending on the application - amount of coolant, hours of operation,
the blower exhaust muffler can get clogged. If the vacuum level drops off and there are no leaks
in the system, remove the exhaust muffler to see if the vacuum level returns to normal. This only
function of this muffler is to lower the blower noise. If the noise level is not a problem, it can be
left off or a new one may be purchased.
If the Vacuum Gauge is between 70 – 90 inches of water, then check the following:
Alignment:
If the Blaze Air is not aligned properly, the part may get ‘hung up’ or slowed down
where the Spindle Liner and the Blaze Air Vacuum Liner engage.
With the Lathe spindle in the home (unload) position, jog the Blaze Air Vacuum
Tube forward (see Section 5.3: Jog Mode). The Spindle Liner and the Blaze Air
Vacuum Liner should easily engage each others mating chamfers. If they are
not aligned, the whole machine is probably out of alignment.
Now push the longest part through the Spindle Liner and the Blaze Air Vacuum
Liner (a long pusher rod will be required). It should move easily through the
two liners and very little difference should be noticed where the two liners
