Other TMC Lubrication Points
1.
Tool Change Air Cylinder Oil Cup supplies oil to the “Air Over Oil” cylinder and should not require
replenishment. However, if it does fill the oil cup on the front of this cylinder with ISO VG 32/SAE
10W slideway oil.
2.
Oiler
Once every 2 weeks:
Fill the oiler that supplies lubrication to the solenoid valves and other various components within
the pneumatic system with ISO VG 32/SAE 10W slideway oil. It holds approximately 5 ounces.
3.
Grease fitting on ATC
Yearly:
Apply a good grade of general-purpose grease like Shell Darina AX or equivalent through the
grease fitting on the top of the ATC. This provides lubrication to the sliding rails as the ATC
moves in and out from the spindle. Make sure to supply enough grease to distribute grease
through the grease line that connects between the top and bottom rail.
