1-3 Cautions for Machine Maintenance
It is important to perform maintenance on each listed items in order to maintain machine precision
and extend machine lifespan.
Erroneous operation may damage the machine or lead to injury of the operator. Be cautious about
the following matters:
CautionsPrevention
To extend the lifespan, follow the instructions given in Section
2-3 for machine warm-up before turning on the machine.
Spindle operation warm-up
Dynamic balance of the cutter
Standard broach bolts
Spindle pre-operation check
Manually loosening the
spindle’s cutter
If the machine has been stopped for a long period, follow the
instructions given in Section 2-3 for machine warm-up before
turning on the machine in order to extend the life span.
To extend the lifespan as well as to increase the precision,
please follow instructions given in Section 2-1 for usage as
well as achieving a dynamic balance for the cutter.
Broach bolt is an important component jointing the spindle and
the tool shank. Using a wrong broach bolt is hazardous for the
operation. Make sure that only the standard one is used.
Check the machine before spindle operation according to
instructions given in Section 2-4 in order to extend the lifespan
of the spindle.
When loosening the cutter of the spindle, make sure that each
step is executed correctly or may lead to personnel injury.
When changing the cutter, be cautious not to drop the cutter,

Cautions Prevention
Spindle nose cleaning Keep the taper of spindle nose and cutter shank clean at all
time to prevent dust or iron filings affecting the precision. The
spindle has an automatic dust removal function, but the
operator should wipe the parts with standard air-laid paper for
maintaining spindle precision.
The function pressure of this air compressor is 5kgf/cm²( 71
psi ). Therefore the air pressure source has to be at least 5.5
kgf/cm²( 78 psi ) and stabilized.
This machine has an air filter that eliminates impurities and

Adding oil to the spindle oil
cooler and setting up the
water vapor from the air. Air for the air pressure source has to
be clean and dry. Check the filter constantly to extend the
lifespan of the filter.
To effectively eliminates water vapor by the filter, drain the
water from the air tank of the air compressor. (Water drainage
is more effective in the morning).
Lube oil is released by the lubricating pump to lubricate the
guide ways and the lead screws. Insufficient lubrication may
speed up the abrasion and affect machine precision.
Always make sure that there is enough oil in the tank. If the
amount of oil is below the lower limit of the oil-level gauge, the
operation panel as well as the screen will issue a warning
message. Please add more oil as early as possible.
Oil cooling circulation system was adopted for the spindle to
effectively suppress spindle temperature increase and thus
extend the lifespan of the spindle. Use the correct type of
circulation and add more oil when the level is too low.
temperature difference
The machine adopts synchronous machine temperature
adjustment Temperature difference is set to 0 to prevent big
temperature difference, which can damage spindle bearing.
Do not change the value arbitrarily.

filings or other types of grains attached to the
guide ways. To extend the lifespan, remove the
dust or they may scratch the slide.
When placing work pieces onto the workbench,
make sure that they are well locked or they may
spin out and cause personnel injury.
Make sure the operation door and the two side
doors are well locked to prevent the cutter from
bursting apart or iron filings from flying out,
which is dangerous.

2-1 Cautions for High Speed Processing
During high-speed processing (S = 8000 rpm or above; F = 300 mm/min or above), the shank and
the style of the cutter has a critical impact on spindle lifespan and processing precision. Matters that
need more attention are:
1). Grasp the cutter before running the spindle to avoid damaging the spindle.
2). During high-speeding chipping (8000rpm or above), use only G2.5 level cutters and shanks that
have been calibrated for dynamic balance. The reason is that vibration generated from centrifugal
force may damage the spindle bearing and rapidly wear out the cutter.
3) Balance tolerance for the shank and the cutter combination is affected by the following three
factors: rotation speed of the cutter, balance tolerance of the spindle, and weight of the shank.
Therefore, using a shorter cutter with a smaller diameter for high-speed chipping is advantageous in
terms of spindle vibration, temperature increase, thermal deformation, and processing precision.
4) The geometric shape of the cutter blade has an effect on cutter abrasion. Increase the angular
backlash of the blade can reduce abrasion due to scratches. Suitable cutter materials can also
minimize abrasion during high-speed processing; for example, cermet, tin or tic coated carbide
cutters have longer lifespan than conventional cutters. Ceramic (Si3N4) cutters are better than cermet
cutters.
5) Perform another dynamic balance calibration after combining the cutter and the shank together.
The dynamic balance standard should be G2.5 or above.
