Installation Checklist
40. Make sure the “ATC Tool Detect Sensor” is working and seeing a tool in the location.
Reference section 4.4.3 in manual. It is recommended to add 3 tools side by side in ATC to
verify it only sees the tool for the spot that is in front of it.
Check the tool in spindle sensor is working properly. Load a tool in the spindle when the tool
status bar says NO TOOL and you should see the status bar change to say TOOL #? and be
highlighted in yellow. Remove tool and it should go back to NO TOOL.
41. In production ops, run one of the axis rapid test programs in the VMC Inspection
Programs folder called AXIS RAPID TEST VMC5 OR 7 or 10.PT10. This will run machine at
maximum rapid speed. Confirm machine runs with no issues. See NOTES section of program
for how to set up program.
42. If the user ordered an RSG, plug it in and verify it works.
43. Assemble the tool measurement cart and tool measurement gage if this option was
ordered. Make sure to align the tool measurement gage per the instructions included with
the kit. Make sure to attach the SWI logo that comes in the hardware kit to the cart.
44. Remove front door sill protective material

2.12 Lubrication
2.12.1 Way Lubrication
The auto lube system provides centralized automatic lubrication for the linear guides and ballscrews. The
lube pumps 1-liter reservoir is serviced with Mobil Vactra Oil No. 1 or equivalent (ISO32). The pump is
factory set to distributor 2.7 ml of oil for every cycle of the lube pump. The lube pump cycles
automatically 1 time upon initial startup of the control and then 1 cycle for every 30 minutes of axis
movement time. Each cycle of the lube pump lasts for 5 seconds or so, once the lube pump is turned off,
oil is then discharged from the spring loaded oil manifolds to the linear guides and ballscrews.
Discharge Pressure - Approximately 200 psi
To adjust the amount of Discharge Pressure displayed on the lube pump gauge, turn the adjustment
screw clockwise to increase the pressure. 1 turn of this screw will raise the pressure about 100 psi.
At the beginning of each day, check the oil level in the Auto Lube system. If low, fill with an ISO32 oil
(ex: Mobil Vactra Oil No. 1) or equivalent. If the lube pump runs dry or has low pressure, a flashing
message will appear on the screen that says LOW OIL or LOW PRESSURE. The control will allow the
machine to complete its current cycle and not allowing it to run the next part until the lube oil gets
replenished.
