7-2 Inspection and Maintenance
Checking the Total Working Time
This machine automatically keeps track of time in operation. Use this as a general guide for determining when to perform
maintenance.
The time for which the spindle has rotated is taken to be the working time.
In VPanel, click the [Setup] icon.
Click the [Modeling Machine] tab.
When to Replace the Spindle
Although this may vary according to conditions of use, as a general guide the spindle motor should be replaced after every
8,000 hours and the spindle unit after every 5,000 hours. Early inspection and replacement are recommended.
