Surface Grinder - Operating Instructions

Surface Grinder - Operating Instructions

1: Surface Grinder Positioning
The machine tool should be placed more than 300mm away from the maximum movement space. Ensure all foot screws are tightened, and the front and back of the table are leveled within 0.04/1000mm. (Higher precision is required when installing an inverter.)
Check every three months, adjust the table's level, and ensure all foot screws are securely tightened.
2: Surface Grinder Grinding Wheel
The selected grinding wheel must withstand a peripheral speed of at least 2000 m/min.
Do not use damaged wheels.
Before mounting, balance the new grinding wheel on the flange.
Allow the grinding wheel to idle for 5 minutes before formal grinding.
The maximum feed rate is 800mm, with a grinding depth of 0.03mm for machines below 800mm and 0.05mm for larger ones.
3: Surface Grinder Spindle
Before installing the grinding wheel, confirm that the spindle rotates clockwise.
When starting up, turn on the spindle first, then activate the coolant system.
4: Surface Grinder Hydraulic System
The surface grinder uses hydraulic fluid with a viscosity of 46.
After three months of use, replace the hydraulic oil on new machines, then annually, ensuring the tank is cleaned each time.
Daily check the hydraulic oil level, which should remain between the minimum and maximum lines.
Before starting the hydraulic motor, ensure the flow speed control lever is in the closed position.
Always open the magnetic chuck before activating hydraulic pressure.
5: Surface Grinder Lubrication System
Use guide oil with a viscosity of 32 (Mayweather 1 or 1405 is recommended).
Confirm the oil tank volume daily to ensure it’s above the minimum mark.
Weekly inspection of the rail oil circuit is essential to avoid oil loss.
It’s suggested to clean the tank every three months.
Grease should be refilled as per the schedule.
6: Left and Right Mechanism of the Surface Grinder
Never adjust the left and right strokes while the table is moving.
If the workbench cable becomes loose, it must be adjusted immediately. (This applies to manual models.)
7: Surface Grinder Flushing and Vacuuming System
The filter box must be cleaned every two weeks.
The cold water tank should be cleaned monthly.
Avoid using air guns to clean the surface grinder.

Additional Notes:
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when operating the grinder.
Regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your grinder.
Keep the work area clean and free of debris to prevent accidents.
