20.2 MAINTENANCE INTERVENTIONS

(acc-40-p_1.0_ce_20.2)
For the maintenance of safety devices see chapter 2.
Cleaning interventions:
1 - every day clean the worktable and clean any excess grease from the guides (operations to be carried with the
machine off)
2 - every 40 work hours clean the electrical cabinet filters (machine off) and control the extraction efficiency
(machine on)
3 - every 100 work hours clean the machining heads and the vacuum pump filters (operation to be carried out with
machine off)
4 - every 1000 work hours clean and lubricate the HSK electro-spindle tool holder tool tapers (operation to be
carried out with machine off)
Lubrication interventions:
1 - every 8 hours of "axes" movement lubricate them (centrally).
2 - every 40 work hours manually lubricate the tool changer and the pneumatic "on-off"
3 - every 50 work hours lubricate the blocking devices of the tool tapers and the HSK electro-spindle tool holder
tool tapers
4 - every 800/1000 work hours lubricate the boring machines and the table bars plates (only on versions with bar
table) (TVN)
All the lubrication interventions must be carried out with the machine off

20.3 Cleaning
(u2412_1.0_ce_ftc_20.2)
WARNING: During maintenance, cleaning and lubrication operations, make sure that the power
supply and compressed air are switched off and cannot be accidentally switched on (See Sec.
20.1).
Every day, at the end of work, carefully clean the worktable and the surrounding areas, with an extractor.
For correct cleaning of the machine, follow the instructions below:

- Remove sawdust and shavings with a vacuum cleaner. Do not use compressed air. Compressed air will only
blow dirt into delicate machine parts leading to operating faults.
- Keep the axis guides and screw drives clean at all times.
- Keep the work surfaces and suction heads clean at all times.
- Keep the working zone around the machine clean.
Machining head: a correct extraction favours a good functioning of the heads and prevents failures due to
overheating. Every week control the perfect efficiency of the complete extraction system. When the machining
head works in particular conditions (e.g. "with the grain") it could form shavings of a size that could get stuck in the
electro-spindle extractor hood zone and along the extraction path.
20.4 Periodic Checks and Maintenance

(a632_ceb1.0-20.3)
WARNING: During maintenance, cleaning and lubrication operations, make sure that the power
supply and compressed air are switched off and cannot be accidentally switched on (See Sec.
20.1).
CAUTION:
All the operations have to be executed by the operator in charge of maintenance or by technical
and qualified personnel.
The intervals between maintenance operations are approximate and may vary according to the
working environment of the machine and the type of material being machined:
The machining of medium density material creates very fine sawdust and shavings; in these cases
the maintenance and lubrication operations must be performed more frequently.
NOTA: N.B.: Recommended maintenance intervals are calculated according to use of the machine
for approx. 8 hours per day. If the machine is used more than this for example, several shifts each
day) maintenance operations must be carried out more often.
PRECAUTION: IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO REGULARLY CHECK THAT SAFETY DEVICES

ARE WORKING PROPERLY ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE NOT OFTEN ACTIVATED (SEE CHAP. 2.1).

20.4.1 PHOTOCELLS
(u2412_1.0_ce_ftc_20.3.1)
The safety photocells barrier does not require specific maintenance interventions. Nevertheless we recommend
regular cleaning of the transparent front surfaces that protect the projector and receiver optics, in order to avoid an
excessive build up of dust that could disturb the transmission and reception functions of the optical beams and
block the equipment and the attached machine.
Cleaning must be carried out with a clean damp cloth; in particularly dusty environments, after cleaning the
plexiglass, we recommend spraying an antistatic product.
In any case, no abrasive, corrosive products, solvents or alcohol must be used as they could damage the surface
being cleaned. Wool cloths must not be used either, to avoid electrifying the plexiglass (consult the attached
booklet).
20.4.2 "PRESSURE SENSITIVE" SAFETY MAT (if present)

(acc-40-p_1.0_ce_20.4.2)
- Avoid build-ups of dirt on the mat and in the adjacent areas.

- Regularly clean the surface with water and soap.
- Regularly control the state of the connection cables.
Repairs
As the mat is hermetically sealed, it cannot be repaired in any way.
In case of damage or functioning anomalies it must be replaced.
The only part of the mat that can be repaired is the aluminium edge.
If it is damaged and no longer fastens the mat to the floor, the damaged part must be immediately replaced before
the machine is started or the danger zone is accessed.
Shipping and storage

We recommend transporting and storing the mat horizontally.
