14.
Turn the spindle direction switch to the stop
(middle) position to prevent the spindle from
starting when you next use the ON button.
15.
Make sure the emergency STOP button has
been reset, press the ON button, then start
spindle rotation.
16.
Push the spindle brake lever—the spindle
motor should turn
OFF
and the spindle
should come to a stop from the pressure of
the brake.
17.
Position the coolant nozzle over the table,
turn the coolant switch on the control panel
to the on (right) position to start the coolant
pump, then open the valve at the base of the
nozzle to begin the flow of coolant.
18.
Check for leaks from the hose fittings and
that the coolant is properly draining back
into the reservoir through the screen on the
base.
The mill comes with a power feed unit for X-axis
table travel. Proper operation of the limit switch
attached to the front middle of the table is
critical for the safe use of this power feed unit.
If the power feed does not operate as expected
during the following steps, disconnect it
from power and contact our Tech Support at
(360) 734-1540 for assistance.
To test the X-axis power feed unit and table
limit switch:
1.
Make sure all tools, cables, and other items
are well clear of table movement as you
follow these steps.
2.
Refer to the Table Movement section,
beginning on Page 27, to understand how
the power feed, table locks, and limit switch
function.
3.
Loosen the table locks on the front of the
table.
4.
Plug the power feed power cord into a 110V
power outlet.
Note:
There are available 110V outlets on the
right side of the electrical cabinet that can
be used for the power feed or other 110V
devices.
5.
Make sure the power feed directional lever
is in the neutral (middle) position, turn the
speed dial counterclockwise to the lowest
setting, then flip the power switch to the on
(up) position.
6.
Turn the directional lever to the left, slowly
turn the speed dial clockwise to increase the
speed, then confirm that the table is moving
to the left.
7.
Watch for the table limit stop to hit the
limit switch and turn the power feed
OFF
,
stopping the table movement.
8.
Turn the directional lever through the
neutral (middle) position and all the way to
the right. The table should begin moving to
the right.
9.
Confirm that the table stops moving when
the limit stop presses against the limit
switch plunger.
10.
Move the directional lever to the neutral
(middle) position and flip the power switch to
the off (down) position.
Congratulations! The Test Run of the mill is
complete. Continue onto the next page to perform
the Spindle Break-In and Inspections &
Adjustments procedures.
