Axis motor – tension of the top belt

•         Bolts (4 pcs. each) of the 2 axis engines (left side) must be tight.

•         Bolts (4 pcs) of the engine bracket must be tight.

•         Tension of the top white belt must be according to the specs.

Spindle jaws – spindle axis mounting

•         Bolts (6 pcs) of the jaws to the spindle

•         Bolts (3 pcs) of the spindle to the axis

•         Bolts (4 pcs each) of the 2 bearings of the spindle axle

Mounting of the tool holder

•         Bolts of the tool holder to the axis must be tight.

•         Bolts of the tool holder must be tight.*

•         *NOTE: lowest bolt needs to be tightened first before tightening the upper bolt!

•         After the tool holder has been replaced or changed the machine needs to be calibrated as explained in the manual

Tension of the spindle belt

•         Tension of the drive belt of the spindle must be tight

Axis cleaning

•         Remove the left and right black plastic covers of the axis by unbolting the screws (3 pcs each side). Remove aluminum chips from the spindles and axis using a        vacuum cleaner and/or a brush. Make sure the sliders are free from chips as well. Lubricate in case the grease was removed with the recommended grease.

•         Aluminum chips removed between the teethed wheels and the axis (top left and right)

•         Grease on the threads which move the axis (see manual)

Location tool holder

•         The top of the tool holder may never be lower than the center hole (between the screws)

•         Always tighten the lowest screw prior to the top screw

Problems limit switch – sensors

•       In case there are problems with the limit switches follow the wiring and check the connectors by disconnecting and reconnecting them

•         Check if the lights on the sensors are on

•         Check the connectors at the back of the axis

Problems with the laser

•     Check the connections between the laser and the connector. Disconnect them and reconnect them to see if the problem is solved.

Problem with the power

•        Remove the top back plate from the machine by removing the 4 bolts. On the left there are 4 safety switches which should be “on”.

Connection problems

•         At the back of the machine check all the connectors

Cleaning

•         The product must be inspected and cleaned at regular intervals.

•         Do not use compressed air for cleaning. But instead use a brush or vacuum cleaner.

•         Remove large particles and dirt from the surface at regular intervals.

•         Use only neutral cleaning agents for cleaning.

•         Use only damp, soft and lint-free cleaning cloths to wipe the surface.

Cover strip

The cover strip is Teflon-coated. The friction causes abrasion on the cover strip.

•         Remove abrasion products at regular intervals.

Lubricating the linear guide and the drive elements

The ball screw axis is lubricated with grease from an internal reservoir. The reservoir is factory-prefilled. The carriage features 3 grease nipples at each side for relubrication.

•       The outer grease nipples are used to lubricate the linear guide.

•       The inner grease nipples are used to fill the drive element (ball screw drive).

Linear guide

1)    Alternative grease K1N-30 as per DIN 51825

Ball screw drive

1) Alternative grease K1N-30 as per DIN 51825

Notes on greasing

When applying the lubricant, you must not exceed a maximum flow rate. Therefore, the minimum injection time of 3 seconds per grease gun stroke must be adhered to.

The carriage must be moved between strokes of the grease gun to allow the grease to distribute evenly in the lubricant reservoirs.
