Section Vi Maintenance - Wachs TL 2.0 Manual De Instrucciones

SECTION VI
Tube Lathe maintenance is required periodically for
cleaning and inspection of worn or damaged parts.
The following steps should be followed before placing
machine back in its storage case:
1. The power cord should be inspected for damage
and wear.
2. The Tool Slide should be inspected for Gib
tension. If the Tool Slide is loose, Gib adjustment
will be needed.
Gib Tensioning Procedure:
1. Adjust Gib by removing the two SHCS on the Lead-
ing Gib (the right-handed Gib as you face the ma-
chine, non-motor side).
2. Remove the Gib, there will be a series of shims
behind the gib. Remove one shim (they are very
thin) and replace the Gib.
3. Re-check Gib tension by rotating Starwheel. If
there is a slight resistance the Gib is properly
tensioned. If the Gib still feels too loose, repeat step
2.

Bearing System
CAUTION: DO NOT move bearings
from their factory set position.
Frame damage could result.
The Tube Lathe Bearing System is preset at the factory.
Over time it may be necessary to re-adjust tension on
the bearings. The Bearings may need adjustment if ra-
dial play can be noticed between the stationary and ro-
tating frames. This adjustment should be performed only
by an authorized Wachs Service Technician. Contact
the factory or your local Wachs Representative for fur-
ther assistance.
