In the setup above, the air supply is a Gast air compressor with ¼” air hose (red) supplying air to
the CKD filter and regulator that is included with the V2-50. The 4mm (black) hose supplies air
to the tee on the backside of the spindle, which supplies air to the internal air sensor. The tee
also carries the air to the spindle using a short length of 4mm hose connected to the blue
connection on the end of the spindle motor. It is important that air comes into the tee and then
out of the tee and into the spindle so that the machine recognizes that air has been provided.
The recommended air pressure for the V2-50 spindle is 25 psi or .17 MPa. This can be adjusted
using the knob on the bottom of the regulator by pulling down to unlock it and then turning to the
right for more pressure or the left for less. It is best to push the knob back up into its locked
position after adjustment to reduce the risk of accidental pressure adjustments.
