Spindle Installation

Spindle Installation

(Ⅰ)

 

Machine spindle is a high-speed and high precision type of motor:

a)  It is supported by precision rolling bearing;

b)  Lubricated by grease;

c)  Water cooled by external circulation;

d)  Usually upright used;

Right spindle installation has a direct impact on engraving effect and spindle service life.

 

So, what we should do on spindle installation?

 

1.    Avoid hit on spindle installation:

Especially avoid intense hit against spindle head and bottom;

Otherwise, it will damage the precision of bearing and router spindle, and cause the loss of spindle rotation accuracy;

 

2.    Proper way of spindle installation:

(1)  Before spindle installation, please make sure spindle motor is at normal working state;

Mainly showed as:

a)  No damage from appearance;

b)  Rotate evenly;

c)  500 volt shake table to check insulation resistance should be more than 100 MΩ (megohm);

 

(2)  Warm notice while installing spindles:

a)  The tolerance between outer diameter of spindle sleeve and seat hole grip must be guaranteed that, the spindle sleeve could slip into the seat hole easily;

b)  You could not position machine spindle by hammer or other tools under any circumstances;

c)  The chucking force should not be too large;

or else, the steeling balls raceway of high precision bearing will be deformed, which affects spindle precision and lifetime;

 

(3)    After installed spindles, please check:

a)  In the front of spindle, make sure the beating of tapered bore centering face should not exceed 0.003mm;

b)  Cnc router spindle rotates evenly;

 

3.    Set up router collets, screw nut and router bits after spindle installation;

(1)     Must guarantee rotation accuracy, or will shake violently and affect engraving quality, efficiency and bearing service life;

 

(2)     Collets, nut, cnc cutting tool and tapped holes (in the front of spindle) must be cleaned very carefully;

 

(3)     Remember not to force too much when install and uninstall cnc cutter;

 

(4)     After assembly, please make sure the beating of cutter bottom is less than 0.01mm;

   If exceed, should:

a)  Correct router bit by tightening and loosening repeatedly;

b)  Adjust and change the contact surface of tool holder;

 

   If still no effect, please check if every contact surface are at normal state;

   Don't knock at random;
