Setup, Operation, and Troubleshooting

Automatic Oiler Setup

1. Remove Fill Cap and ll reservoir with way oil to Max Fill Line (seeFigure 27). Use only the recommended

way oils that are detailed in the table below. For more informaon on way oils, refer to machine

operator manual.

2. Push the Funcon Buon (manual override buon) to pull oil through tube (see Figure 27) and check

for leaks.3. Power on the oiler: The automac oiler is powered through the spindle drive contactor (C2). When

the spindle variable frequency drive (VFD) is on, the oiler is on. Keep this in mind if you are oen

cung air or running the high-speed spindle without the VFD powered on, as the oiler will not be

acve in this condion.

4. Purge the system: Aer rst connecng the oiler (or if the oiler has run out of oil), purge air from the

lines. Push and hold the Funcon Buon in four second increments; repeat four mes.

5. Set the interval me: The me interval denes the me between applicaons. Push and release the

Interval Time Buon (see Figure 27). This acvates the interval me seng as indicated by a blinking

Interval Indicator (INT) light (see Figure 27). In this mode, the Interval Time Buon increases the

interval seng and the Funcon Buon decreases the seng. The seng is displayed in the Interva

Time window (see Figure 27). This should be set to 240 minutes (four hours).

6. Set the actuaon me: The actuaon me denes the me of oil applicaon, or the length of the oi

applicaon pulse. Push and release the Actuaon Seng Buon (see Figure 27). This acvates the

actuaon me seng as indicated by a blinking Actuaon Indicator (ACT) light (see Figure 27). In this

mode, the Actuaon Seng Buon increases the actuaon seng and the Funcon Buon decreases

the seng. The seng is displayed in the Actuaon Time window (see Figure 27). This should be set

to 12 seconds.

7. Aer the actuaon me and/or the interval me is changed, the system pauses for ve seconds before

it reverts to run mode as indicated by an actuaon of the oil applicaon for a duraon equal to the

actuaon me (ACT light illuminated) followed by the start of the interval me (INT light illuminated)

NOTE: The operator may nd the need to tweak the Interval or the Actuaon me per individual circumstances

CAUTION! Pressure Hazard: Do not set the actuaon me too high as excessive pressure may result in

hose damage or a cracked manifold. If more lubricaon is needed, shorten the interval me. Failure to do so

may result in damage to machine and cause personal injury.

Automatic Oiler Operation

• As menoned above, the automac oiler powers on whenever the spindle VFD is powered on. Ifthe machine is le powered on for long periods of me – overnight, for example – oil is wasted. It

is always a good idea to power o the machine when not in use, or power o the VFD by turning

the spindle lockout key to the O posion to prevent oil waste.

• The automac oiler comes with two alarms relang to roune operaon. The rst alarm sounds

when the level in the reservoir drops below the required minimum, indicated by an illuminated

ALM light and the Actuaon Time window display ashing. The second alarm sounds when

low pressure is detected, indicated by an audible beep, an illuminated ALM light, and both the

Actuaon Time window and Interval Time window displays ashing. This second alarm is crical

as the machine is no longer geng oil. If a second low pressure alarm goes o, rell the reservoi

with oil and purge air out of the system. For more informaon on purging air, see Automac OilerSetup secon earlier in this document. To clear an alarm, push the Funcon Buon.

• Turn the spindle on and press the Funcon Buon to manually oil the machine as needed.

• Oil machine any me it has been unused for more than 48 hours.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Solution

No pressure indicated on pressure gauge.

NOTE: Pressure will only read on the gauge while the system is actuating.

If no pressure is indicated while actuation is in progress:

a) Make sure there is oil in the reservoir, andb) Check for leaks in the system hoses and ttings.

Pressure is indicated, but no oil is getting

to the ways and ball screws/nuts.

Check for blocked hoses and ttings on the machine. All bearing surfaces

and all ball nuts have an oil line; verify all are getting oil.

Automatic oiler has no power.1

Check that the VFD is powered on (or that C2 is activated).

Measure AC voltage across L16 and L26 and the contactor. If 230 volts

is present, re-check wiring inside the oiler. If the wiring inside the oiler is

correct, replace control board.

If voltage is not present and the VFD will not power on, refer to SpindleDrive Subsystem troubleshooting section in the machine operator manual.
