Chapter 6 Maintenance:
Lubrication:
.Every 40 Hours the outer spindle surface should be cleaned with kerosene or WD40. Occasionally with a
light weight #10 oil. should be wiped onto the outer spindle to prevent excessive dryness.
All floating surfaces should be dry and clean do not oil the surfaces, oil will cause the work heat
not to float properly.
Air Adjustments:
Float:
The float regulator is located at the right rear of the main base on the bottom.
If the machine is not floating properly, it could be from too much or too little air from the regulator. Turn the regulator
all the way off (full counter clockwise). Start turning the regulator slowly clockwise while continually checking the
spindle base for proper floatation. Once the correct float is established, lock the regulator into place by pushing in
on the black adjusting knob.
Use as little air as possible to achieve correct floatation. Using too much air will could cause the
spindle base to vibrate and not center properly on the on the pilot.
Calibrating the Digital Level:
NOTE: Even though the level has been carefully calibrated at the factory,
it is a good idea to recheck calibration before putting the machine into
service. In the event that the level is dropped or handled roughly then the
following recalibration methods should be implemented.
The level assembly is referenced to the spindle via the level pin. It is
there for important to check alignment of pin in reference to the spindle.
This is accomplished by mounting a magnetic base dial indicator to the
machine spindle and sweeping the pin vertically by raising or lowering
spindle to check alignment. Pin alignment should be checked in two
positions at 90 degrees to each other. If the pin alignment needs
correcting, do so with the set screws located at base of pin block.
Install level on pin. Orient level to read left to right. Tilt head left or right
until level reads 0.00. Now rotate level 180 degrees. The reading should
be 0.00, if not then it will be necessary to calibrate the inclinometer to the
level body. This is accomplished by loosening the inclimeter’s two
retaining screws and pivoting the inclimeter until it repeats when level is
rotated 180 degrees.
Example: level reads 0.04 to the left, when rotated 180 degrees to the
right it should read minus 0.04.
Check the level reading with the pickup oriented front to back. It should read 0.00 if the machine has been properly
leveled with a machinist level.
If the LED does not read 0.00 then chances are the machine’s leveling procedures have not been properly followed
or there are internal problems with the level’s electronics.
The sensitivity of the level is so great that it may not zero totally, even while the machine is not being touched. The
alignment tolerance for installing guides is plus or minus .04 degrees, and for forming three angle seats is plus or
minus .08 degrees.
