Spindl-Gard SG-1 and SG-2 Systems
L42110
3.4.1.2
While no steps are required to operate the lube sys tem,
personnel should be aware of any indication of system
faults as indicated by the system controller. If a fault
occurs, the spindle should be shutdown immediately to
avoid bearing damage. Section 4 of this manual contains
troubleshooting procedures for the Spindl-Gard system.
CAUTION:
Operation of the spindle without proper lubrication may
result in serious spindle damage.
3.4.2
Output Adjustment
CAUTION:
Before attempting to adjust output by changing air
pressure at spray nozzle (SG-1) or mixing tee (SG-2), contact a
Graco distributor representative or Graco. A substantial deviation
from rec ommended air pressure requirements
(20% or more) may result in incorrect sys tem operation which
could cause spindle damage.
Output of SG-1 and SG-2 systems do not generally
require adjustment. Precise output is determined
during the design process and, in most cases, will
remain constant. However, factors such as different
speed requirements or machining head changes may
require lubricant output modifications. Contact a Graco
distributor representative or Graco for correct methods
to vary the output from the original setting.
3.5
SHUTDOWN:
When the spindle is turned off, lubrication
is no longer required at the bearings. Turn the controller
off to prevent the supply pump from cycling and adding
more lubricant. How ever, maintain air pressure on the
spray nozzle or mixing tee for 5 to 10 minutes after
spindle shutdown. The continuing air pressure maintains
internal head pressure and helps pre vent introduction of
contaminants or coolant.
CAUTION:
Maintaining air pressure beyond 10 min utes in a SG-2
system with the controller off could result in drying of the air/oil
deliv ery tube. This would result in inadequate lubrication at the
next machine start-up.
