Power Feed Test Run
The mill comes with power feed units for X- and
Y-axis table travel. Proper operation of the limit
switches is critical for the safe use of the power
feed units. If the power feeds do not operate as
expected during the following steps, disconnect
machine from power and review Troubleshooting
table on Page 55.
To test power feeds:
1.
Make sure all tools, cables, and other items
are well clear of table movement as you fol-
low these steps.
2.
Refer to X- and Y-axis Power Feed identifi-
cation on Page 7 to understand how power
feeds, table locks, and limit switches function.
3.
Loosen X-axis table locks on front of table.
4.
Make sure X-axis power feed directional lever
is in neutral (middle) position, turn speed dial
counterclockwise to lowest setting, then turn
power feed ON.
5.
Move direction knob to left, slowly rotate
speed dial clockwise to increase speed, then
confirm table is moving left.
6.
Watch for table limit stop to press against
limit switch plunger and turn power feed OFF,
stopping table movement.
7.
Move direction knob through neutral (middle)
position and all the way right. Table should
begin moving right.
8.
Confirm table stops moving when limit stop
presses against limit switch plunger.
9.
Move direction knob to neutral (middle) posi-
tion, turn speed dial counterclockwise to low-
est setting, and turn power feed OFF.
10. Repeat Steps 3–9 in a similar manner for the
Y-axis power feed.
