OUTLINE OF SYSTEMS C-1
1. SLIDEWAY (FEED AXIS) LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The lubrication system is used to form oil films on the slideways (ball guides) to ensure smooth
motion of the saddle and cross slide and prevent wear on the slideways (ball guides).
The lubrication system consists of a pump unit, distributors, and piping parts.
A float switch and pressure switch are installed in the pump unit tank.
Falling oil level in the tank and abnormal discharge pressure are monitored, and corresponding
alarms are displayed on the screen.
The pump is operated to discharge lubricant automatically at the required intervals under the
control of a programmable controller.
The oil dispensed from the pump enters the distributors, which distribute the correct volume of oil
to each lubrication point.
2. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic system comprises the hydraulic unit, the valve units, the hydraulic devices, and the
piping.
When the power is turned on, the hydraulic motor starts and the pump draws hydraulic fluid.
Hydraulic fluid flowing from the pump port is supplied to the valve unit through the pipe. The valve
unit decreases pressure and directs oil flow to specific actuators to operate the chuck, cylinder
and turret.
The hydraulic fluid is returned to the tank through the tank port.
3. COOLANT SYSTEM
The coolant system consists of the coolant tank, coolant pump, and piping. Coolant is used to
cool down or lubricate the cutting point. It is pumped up from coolant tank by coolant pump,
carried through the piping run, and discharged from holders and tools of the turret head.
