AM370 - Checking gas springs on the control cabinet door
Orientation
Requirement
Procedure
44
To carry out work on the control cabinet of multi-spindle lathes, the cabinet doors
are fitted with gas springs. These gas springs facilitate opening the heavy cabinet
doors. In addition, they retain the cabinet doors in the upper position, thereby
allowing safe working in the control cabinet. The options for checking the door are
simple and can be carried out in a minimum of time.
Working with ladders
The suitable ladders or platforms for this purpose must be
secured to the eyelets provided in the control cabinet (see
figures – Working with ladders).
Additional eyelets can be screwed in, in the region of the control cabinet. Various
screw-in points are provided for this, depending on the machine type.
1. Check the cabinet door when opening. If the cabinet doors can be opened
without too much effort, it can be assumed that the doors or the gas springs are
in order. If, however, the door greatly distorts when opening, this is a sign that
one of the two gas springs is defective and must be replaced.
