Lubrication Of Axes And Chip Conveyor; Cleaning The Focus Lens - Mazak STX SC L PLUS CONTROL Training Manual

Lubrication of Axes and Chip Conveyor

Axis Lubrication
The STX SC model has an automatic lubrication system which supplies oil to all axes automatically during
operation. When the quantity of oil in the reservoir reaches its lower limit, an alarm will occur and operation will be
stopped until the level is brought within the acceptable range.
See your MAZAK OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE manual for details about adding oil and cleaning the
oil return pipe.
Lubrication of the Chip Conveyor
For all models the chip conveyor must be lubricated once per month by the following method.
1 > Turn on the chip conveyor.
2 > Clean the hinge links with a wire brush.
3 > Manually lubricate the hinge links side chain and main shaft bearing by applying machine oil.
