CHAPTER 2 - LUBRICATION

INTRODUCTION

TALENT® CNC lathe axes are grease lubricated at grease blocks mounted on the right side of thecarriage. The grease system lubricates the ball screws and truck bearings on the linear guideways.Fresh grease should be added every 600 hours of machine operation or more frequently undersevere operating conditions.

When the grease lubrication system requires maintenance, the machine must be powered down.Refer to Chapter 1 for the power-up, power-down, and lock-out procedures.

IMPORTANCE OF LUBRICATION

Running conditions of this machine depend heavily upon the lubrication management. Makecertain that the lubrication system is checked frequently under severe operating conditions to keepthe machine in proper working condition.

RECOMMENDED GREASE

The following greases are recommended by Hardinge Inc. for use on the TALENT CNC lathe.

GreaseHardinge Grease

Cartridge Part Number

KLÜBER® Isoflex NCA 15 TT 0010994NCA

KLÜBER Isoflex NBU 15 HS 00010994SL

Other greases may not contain certain additive packages needed for proper lubrication andperformance. The additive packages may include rust inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, and anti-wearcompounds, which have been blended specifically for that application. Although many companiesoffer “similar” greases, these may not contain the needed additives to ensure maximum performanceand protection of Hardinge machines.

M-448B 2-1

LUBRICATION ALARM

The control issues the following lubrication alarms:

• Axis lubrication alarm message after 600 hours of operation.

• Turret lubrication alarm message after 2000 hours of operation. (Live tooling machinesonly)

A lubrication alarm does not stop the machine, but will inhibit Cycle Start.

Clear the alarm message as follows:

If the machine is equipped with a Fanuc control, press the Feed Hold and Reset push but-tons at the same time to clear the alarm.

If the machine is equipped with a Siemens control, press the Reset key AND HOLD FOR 5SECONDS to clear the alarm.

GREASE VOLUME

The grease volume presented is dependent upon the grease gun being used. Carefully measurethe amount of grease or count the grease gun strokes necessary to lubricate the guides and ballscrews. Be certain that all air is purged from any grease gun before use.

- NOTE -

The grease gun supplied with the machine delivers 3 cc per full stroke.

The required amount of grease is:

Linear Guides: 3½ cc

Ball Screws: 11 cc

Make certain that all the sliding surfaces are lubricated well by jogging the axes at 50% of themaximum rapid traverse for a full 30 minutes before resuming automatic operation.

2-2 M-448B

AXIS LUBRICATION

- NOTE -

Grease should be added when the linear guides are still warm from operation.

CHAPTER 4 - COOLANT SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

- WARNING -

When coolant system maintenance is required, the machine must be pow-ered down. Refer to Chapter 1 for the power-up, power-down, and lock-outprocedures.

Hardinge machine tools are designed using the latest technology and highest quality materialsavailable. However, due to the ever increasing number of coolant selections available, it isimpossible to test material compatibility with each and every coolant. For additional informationregarding the coolant facilities on this machine, refer to the Operator’s Manual (M-447).

- CAUTION -

Whenever water soluble coolants are used it is important to use the manu-facturer’s recommended mix ratio (concentration). It is also important tomaintain the coolant by keeping the proper concentration level when coolantsolution is added to compensate for evaporation. Another important factor iscoolant Ph (acidity). Typically, the coolant Ph range is between 8.5 and 9.2.Below 8.5 the rust inhibitors in the coolant start depleting, which can resultin corrosion of machine components. Also, the quality of the water should betested by the coolant manufacturer so that the proper coolant additives canbe administered. Failure to follow these recommendations could result indamage to the machine, seals, and paint.

If the coolant you have selected starts to react (cause material to rust, pit,swell, soften, crack, or blister) with any portion of the machine tool, Hardingesuggests that you discontinue use and contact your coolant representativefor alternative coolants.

It should also be noted that certain chemicals react with different metals.Hardinge recommends that you consult with your coolant representative toassure that the material you are cutting does not react with the coolant youhave selected.

- NOTE -

A properly selected and maintained coolant, either oil or water based, will ensurethe best performance from the coolant and machine.

M-448B 4-1

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

TALENT® CNC lathes have a coolant recirculating system for either oil-based or water-basedcoolant. The system consists of a coolant tank with filters, an electric pump, directional nozzles onthe head wall and turret and a coolant catcher at the left end of the spindle. Most of the fluid drainsdown into the tank through the chip pan; however, some liquid returns to the tank through the hosesfrom the coolant catcher.

The coolant system is ready when the machine is powered up. The Coolant ON/OFF push buttonalternately activates and deactivates the flow of coolant.

The approximate coolant tank capacity is listed below in gallons [liters]:

Machine Model Coolant Tank Capacity

TALENT 6/45 and 8/52 Lathes 33 [125]

TALENT 8/66 and 10/78 Lathes 76.62 [290]

WATER-BASED COOLANTS

Water-based coolants are a cutting fluid which, when improperly specified or maintained, canaffect the life of a machine and the quality of the parts made on it. Water-based coolants aredesigned to suppress rusting, enhance cutting, increase tool life, promote heat dissipation, and beeconomical to use.

Some water-based coolants may cause machine corrosion problems and be incompatible withmachine components, especially if the fluid is not maintained correctly. Water-based coolants mustbe correctly specified according to the machined materials and ensure compatibility with themachine’s components.

It is important to follow the coolant manufacturer’s recommendations when using a water-basedcoolant. Maintaining coolants per the manufacture’s recommendations will increase the machine’suseful life and will minimize corrosion, rusting, staining, and health problems such as dermatitis. At aminimum, the coolant maintenance should include daily checks and correction of coolantconcentration, a measure of coolant pH.

CONCENTRATION

The coolant concentration should be checked and corrected on a daily basis using arefractometer. The refractometer is a hand held optical device that gives a fairly reliable reading.However, its accuracy can be impaired by cleaners and other contaminants.

Proper concentration control is essential for optimal tool life, corrosion control, and inhibitingbacterial growth. Water soluble coolants lose water by evaporation during normal operatingconditions which tends to increase the coolant concentration over a normal work shift. The coolantconcentration must be checked each day.

The coolant concentration must be kept within the specified range determined by the coolantmanufacturer. Failure to maintain the coolant concentration within this range may result in poorperformance from that fluid. Lean concentrations can lead to rust, rancidity, short tool life, and otherproblems. Rich concentrations can result in foam, residues, health problems, and increased coolantcosts.

4-2 M-448B

pH

pH is a measure of a solution’s alkalinity or acidity. There are two common methods used todetermine pH. One method is the use of special pH test paper and the other is a pH meter.

Water based coolants are designed to run within the pH range determined by the manufacturer.The pH of water based coolants typically runs on the alkaline side of the pH scale. A drop in pHindicates a growth of microbiological organisms. Typically, the pH range is between 8.5 and 9.2.

WATER QUALITY

The water quality is also an important factor toward achieving optimum coolant performance.Water that contains dissolved minerals, bacteria, and other impurities can sometimes adverselyaffect the coolant selected. An indication of water related problems is the formation of a soap likescum which adheres to sumps, filters, and other surfaces. It is best to consult with your coolantrepresentative to determine your requirements.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

A daily check of the concentration and pH will help keep the coolant at its optimum performancelevel.

Make-up coolant should be added when needed and according to the manufacturer’srecommendation. This make-up coolant is necessary to provide additional fresh coolant whichcontains the essential additives required to keep the coolant performing properly.

Clean and replace the coolant per the coolant manufacturers recommendations. Proper cleaningof the machine is very important before refilling the tank with fresh coolant. Dispose of the usedcoolant properly.

Bacteria live and cling to all wetted surfaces in the machine. Special cleaners, usually availablefrom your coolant supplier, are recommended to flush the system before refilling. These cleaners willkill the bacteria left after draining the machine.

It also is recommended that a thorough cleaning, which includes scraping and removing anysludge found on the bottom and hidden in the top panels of the coolant tank, be completed beforecirculating cleaner through the system.

M-448B 4-3

CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL

CLEANING THE POWER CASE HEAT EXCHANGER AIR FILTER

The power case is cooled by a heat exchange system. The heat exchanger provides the coolingand environmental protection necessary for proper operation of the printed circuit boards. This airunit employs a closed loop design which circulates air inside the power case while sealing outpotentially contaminated, external air.

The heat exchanger is located either on the door exterior or near the top of the power case. Air ismoved inside the power case while external air is drawn across the corrugated metal (heatexchange) plate. It is recommended that air filter “L”, Figure 6.10, be cleaned once a week.

1. Power down the machine. Refer to the appropriate power-down procedure in Chapter 1.

2. Clean the power case heat exchanger air filter as follows:

A) Use the tab on the filter to lift the air filter up, slide the bottom out and pull it down to removethe air filter from its frame.

B) Wash the air filter clean in detergent and water. Blow it out with compressed air and allow it toair dry.

C) Make certain that the air filter is dry; put the filter, with tab down, up into the top of its frame,press it in and drop it into the bottom of the frame.
