576AC SEVERMASTER TM with Air Motor
IN GENERAL:
All components should be cleaned and coated with a light film of
oil prior to use. Use a clean, non-detergent oil, preferably
SAE 10 (90 SSU) or lighter.
The air supply for the Model 576AC (pneumatic drive) should
include an adequate filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL).
If the Model 576AC is operated in such a manner that the tool
holder collect debris while cutting, the tool holder and the slides
should be cleaned after each cutting operation.
Tool life may be severely shortened, unless chips and/or other
debris that have been deposited on the cutting head during the
machining operation are removed.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE:
Daily maintenance when the unit is in operation includes wiping
the unit down and spraying with rust preventative under severe
humidity conditions. Visually inspect for loose screws, missing
screws, damage, etc.
After every 20 hours of actual operation, lubricate the male and
female tool holder slides.
After every 40 hours of actual operation, thoroughly clean and
lubricate main gear, drive gear, male and female tool slides, and
tripper bracket assembly.
If the Model 576AC is to be stored or if it will remain out of
service for a significant period of time (30 days or more), it
should be thoroughly cleaned, lubricated and sprayed with a rust
preventative prior to storage.
Tool holder maintenance:
Clean the slide rails, the tool holder, and the feed components.
Inspect these parts for damage and replace as required.
Lubricate and reassemble.
Adjust the adjustable slide rail to provide a firm, but not excessive
pressure on the tool holder.
The slide rails must be overtightened to squeeze the oil into a thin
film against the male and female surfaces of the slide rails.
Reset for proper operation.
Tripper bracket assembly lubrication and adjustment:
Back off the half-dog setscrew until it disengages from the
tripper shaft.
Remove the tripper shaft assembly from the bracket and clean
off all of the old lubrication.
