Checking Leakage Discharge of the Rotary Distributor

Interval

500 Hours Operating time

Component

Rotary distributor

When the coolant supply is switched on, cooling lubricant continually flows through the connected hose. Only single drips should escape from the bore.

Please observe chapter 4.2 "Special safety measures" when entering or leaving the machine.

Step 1

Machining unit traversed into support position.

Step 2

Maintenance area safety door opened and secured to prevent closing.

Step 3

Machine switched off at main switch and secured against being switched on again.

Step 4

Machining unit protected from falling by supports.

Step 5

Check leakage on the rotary distributor. Only single drips should escape from the bore.

Step 6

Increased leakage occurs on the bore of the rotary distributor.

This indicates missing seal air. Check air supply to the rotary feed.

For procedure, see: "Inspection of fluid equipment"

Step 7

In case of continuously increased leakage on the bore of the rotary distributor, seals inside the rotary distributor are defective. Have the rotary distributor replaced by the customer service. Do not operate the machine with a defective rotary distributor.

Step 8

Remove support from the machining unit.

Step 9

Before closing the maintenance safety door, ensure that nobody is behind the guard panels. Close maintenance area safety door.
