Maintenance
Lubrication:
.Every 40 Hours the outer spindle surface should be cleaned with kerosene or WD40. Occasionally with a
light weight #10 oil. should be wiped onto the outer spindle to prevent excessive dryness.
All floating surfaces should be dry and clean do not oil the surfaces, oil will cause the
work heat not to float properly.
Air Adjustments:
Float:
The float regulator is located at the right rear of the main base on the bottom.
If the machine is not floating properly, it could be from too much or too little air from the regulator. Turn
the regulator all the way off (full counter clockwise). Start turning the regulator slowly clockwise while
continually checking the spindle base for proper floatation. Once the correct float is established, lock the
regulator into place by pushing in on the black adjusting knob.
Use as little air as possible to achieve correct floatation. Using too much air will could
cause the spindle base to vibrate and not center properly on the on the pilot.
Calibrating the Digital Level:
NOTE:
Even though the level has been carefully calibrated at the
factory, it is a good idea to recheck calibration before putting the
machine into service. In the event that the level is dropped or
handled roughly then the following recalibration methods should be
implemented.
The level assembly is referenced to the spindle via the level pin. It is
there for important to check alignment of pin in reference to the
spindle. This is accomplished by mounting a magnetic base dial
indicator to the machine spindle and sweeping the pin vertically by
raising or lowering spindle to check alignment. Pin alignment should
be checked in two positions at 90 degrees to each other. If the pin
alignment needs correcting, do so with the set screws located at
base of pin block.
Install level on pin. Orient level to read left to right. Tilt head left or
right until level reads 0.00. Now rotate level 180 degrees. The
reading should be 0.00, if not then it will be necessary to calibrate the
inclinometer to the level body. This is accomplished by loosening the
inclimeter’s two retaining screws and pivoting the inclimeter until it
repeats when level is rotated 180 degrees.
Example: level reads 0.04 to the left, when rotated 180 degrees to the right it should read minus 0.04.
Check the level reading with the pickup oriented front to back. It should read 0.00 if the machine has been
properly leveled with a machinist level.
If the LED does not read 0.00 then chances are the machine’s leveling procedures have not been
properly followed or there are internal problems with the level’s electronics.
