Machine Maintenance
Proper maintenance of the machine is very important for maintaining performance, longevity and
safety. Observe all safety guidelines in Section 4. Only qualified technicians should perform
inspection, maintenance, and repair of pneumatic, electrical, and mechanical systems.
9.1
Daily Maintenance
9.1.1
Start of Shift
Check that the main air supply is on and that the regulator (located in the Utility Control
Panel) is set to 85psi.
Verify all service doors and guarding are closed, locked, or otherwise secured, and that
safety interlocks are functioning properly.
Verify there are no loose parts, tools, or other objects in the work area.
Inspect the I.D. of the work and tool holding chucks for debris, burrs or other anomalies.
Verify the chucks actuate and release properly.
NEVER ACTUATE A HYDRAULIC CHUCK
WITHOUT A PRECISION STEM FULLY INSERTED.
See Section 5.9 for additional information.
9.1.2
End of Shift
Remove any loose parts, tools, or other objects from the work area.
Wipe down the machine’s exterior as needed.
Clean the Touch Screen with a clean soft COTTON CLOTH using any standard window
cleaner as long as there is no abrasive or oily content; DO NOT USE PAPER TOWELS OR
DIRTY CLOTHS. Vinegar or ammonia will not hurt the screen. To minimize over-run of
cleaning solution, spray the cloth first and then clean the screen.
Flush all slurry lines including through-spindle-slurry with clean hot water.
Remove and clean the Slurry Filter Bag by washing with clean water. The filter can be
replaced if the process requires it to avoid contamination.
Clean the work area thoroughly. The side windows of the containment can be removed by
lifting up and out on the handles.
NEGLECTING TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE MACHINE
REGULARLY WILL RESULT IN PREMATURE FAILURE OF COMPONENTS.
9.2
Weekly Maintenance
Perform a thorough cleaning and inspection of the machine.
Check the fluid level in the chiller (Section 5.6.1) and fill it if it is low with 30% Ethylene
Glycol and 70% Distilled Water; OptiPro recommends DOWTHERM SR-1.
Wipe down the machine’s exterior.
