GENERAL MAINTENANCE
LUBRIFICATION
The guides are self-greasing (pre-greased) and do not need grease before use.
On average, every 15 days (or 150 working hours) use CENTOPLEX to grease the
internal parts by using the grease zerk placed on the right side of the slotting tool
(any excessive/extra grease will be removed during tool use).
GUIDES ADJUSTMENT
The slotting tool needs a run-in period! After the first working hour, please check
to see if the carriage shows clearance (movement of a gauge on the carriage).
Should the guides require adjustment, follow these steps:
1)
loosen the screws (B)
2)
turn the two socket set screws (A) clockwise
3)
tighten the screws (B)
4)
same operation must be carried out on both right and left guides
5)
check if the carriage slides free on a working bench, otherwise repeat the
adjustment on the socket set screws (A) but in counter-clockwise direction
CAUTION:
An over-tightened carriage will increase power consumption!
COOLING WATER:
The slotting tool has no special requirement concerning coolant (use a normal
mixture of 3%-5%). The insert will work better if the coolant is properly filtered
(between 0,01 – 0,02).
SLOTTING INSERTS:
Inserts are available as H7 - D10 – C11, according to the required slot tolerances.
