CHAPTER 3 - AIR SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The air connection is located at the rear of the machine near the lower left corner. It is mounted on the side of the hydraulic tank, as shown in Figure 3.1 or 3.2. The incoming air line should have a minimum inside diameter of 3/8 inch [9.5 mm].
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE - NOTE - This information applies only to machines equipped with the optional part catcher. 1. Turn main air valve “B”, Figure 3.2, ON. 2. Lift knob “A” up to unlock. 3. Rotate the knob in the appropriate direction to increase or decrease pressure, as needed. Observe the air pressure on the gauge.

Refer to Chapter 1 for the power-up, power-down, and lock-out procedures. Hardinge machine tools are designed using the latest technology and highest quality materials available. However, due to the ever increasing number of coolant selections available, it is impossible to test material compatibility with each and every 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, can affect the life of a machine and the quality of the parts made on it.
pH is a measure of a solution’s alkalinity or acidity. There are two common methods used to determine 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.
CHIP REMOVAL (Machines without Chip Conveyor) ® TALENT 6/45 AND 8/52 LATHES 1. Power down and lock out the machine. Refer to the appropriate power-down procedure in Chapter 1. 2. If coolant was ON, wait a few minutes to allow any coolant that was in use to drain back into the tank.
CLEANING THE COOLANT TANK ® TALENT 6/45 AND 8/52 LATHES Clean the coolant tank at least once every six months or more frequently if the coolant becomes contaminated by material being cut. Clean the coolant tank whenever changing the type or brand of coolant.
® TALENT 8/66 AND 10/78 LATHES Clean the coolant tank at least once every six months or more frequently if the coolant becomes contaminated by material being cut. Clean the coolant tank whenever changing the type or brand of coolant. 1.

7. Remove the cover from electrical junction box “H”, Figure 4.5 or 4.7. 8. Record the electrical connections in the junction box. Refer to Figure 4.13. 9. Disconnect the three power wires and the ground wire. 10. Remove the retaining nut from the conduit fitting and remove the conduit assembly from the junction box.
CHAPTER 5 - HYDRAULIC SYSTEM INTRODUCTION - CAUTION - The machine must be powered down when the hydraulic system requires maintenance. Refer to Chapter 1 for the power-up, power-down, and lock-out procedures. The hydraulic unit is located at the rear of the machine. The hydraulic pump, which is driven by a 2 horsepower motor, provides a maximum of 580 psi [40 bars] operating pressure to the collet closer, spindle brake, turret, and tailstock.
HYDRAULIC TANK The oil level should be maintained at or near FULL to ensure good system cooling, good air dissipation, and overall system performance. Verify the hydraulic fluid level with sight gauge “C”, Figure 5.2. FILLING THE HYDRAULIC TANK 1. Power down and lock out the machine. Refer to the appropriate power-down procedure in Chapter 1.
DRAINING AND FILLING THE HYDRAULIC TANK 1. Power down and lock out the machine. Refer to the appropriate power-down procedure in Chapter 1. 2. Remove access cover “A”, Figure 5.1. 3. Place a drain pan capable of holding a minimum of 16 gallons [60 liters] of oil under drain plug “D”, Figure 5.3.
ADJUSTING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PRESSURE The machine’s hydraulic system pressure can be adjusted by threading pressure adjustment screw “F”, Figure 5.5, IN or OUT. The hydraulic system main pressure gauge is located on the front of the machine. The main system hydraulic pressure should be set at 580 psi [40 bar]. - WARNING - The hydraulic system pressure adjustment is performed with the hydraulic pump motor ON.
CHAPTER 6 - MISCELLANEOUS BATTERY MAINTENANCE - CAUTION - New batteries must be installed at least once a year. Failure to perform this maintenance will result in the loss of turret or control information. The recommended replacement interval for the turret controller and CNC control batteries is once a year.

CLEANING THE POWER CASE HEAT EXCHANGER AIR FILTER The power case is cooled by a heat exchange system. The heat exchanger provides the cooling and environmental protection necessary for proper operation of the printed circuit boards. This air unit employs a closed loop design which circulates air inside the power case while sealing out potentially contaminated, external air.
CLEANING THE POWER CASE PLENUM FAN AIR FILTER The plenum fan is located on the side of the power case. It is recommended that the plenum air filter “M”, Figure 6.11, be cleaned once a week. 1. Power down the machine. Refer to the appropriate power-down procedure in Chapter 1. 2.
APPENDIX ONE - PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE - CAUTION - Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaners on this machine. Never use compressed air to clean dirt or chips from the machine. Air pres- sure could force dirt particles and other foreign material past seals and wip- ers.
