Greasing

CAUTIONWhen using the manual mode, ensure the following:The appropriate speed slider is set to a very slow speed.Everything and everyone is clear of moving parts to prevent damage or injuries.

1. Using the Manual Mode window, move the Y-axis to the middle position and the Z-axis to the lowest position.
2. Open up the dome.
3. Remove the front and rear frame covers, along with the front and rear end covers of the Y‑axis assembly.
4. Using the Manual Mode window, slightly raise the Z-axis, then move the Y‑axis across its range of motion to remove the seven bolts that hold the centre brush cover of the Y‑axis assembly, and remove the centre brush cover.
5. Using the Manual Mode window, move the Y-axis to the forwardmost position.

6. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease to each of the six grease nipples located on top of the saw and the four grease nipples on the Y-axis linear bearings.

       

7. Using the Manual Mode window, move the Y and Z-axes to the middle position.
8. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease again to the same grease nipples.
9. Using the Manual Mode window, move the Y-axis to the rearmost position and the Z-axis to the highest position.
10. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease again to the same grease nipples.
11. Move the Y and Z-axes several times across their entire range of motion.
12. Using the Manual Mode window, move the Y‑axis across its range of motion to refit the centre brush cover on the Y‑axis assembly and tighten the seven bolts that hold it in place.
13. Refit the front and rear frame covers, along with the front and rear end covers of the Y‑axis assembly.
14. Using the Manual Mode window, move the Y-axis to the middle position and the Z-axis to the lowest position.
15. Close the dome.

1. Press the E‑stop button on the operator console.
2. Remove the side feeder guards on both sides of each feeder.

3. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease to the eight grease nipples on the drive roller bearings.

   Note: you may need to get under each feeder to reach the four drive roller bearings closest to the saw chamber.

   

4. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease to the two grease nipples on the linear bearings of the pop-up encoders.

   Note: when a follower is fitted, a pop-up encoder is present on the outfeed feeder only.

   

5. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease to the four grease nipples on the top clamp knuckles (machines from late 2016 onwards).
6. Refit the side feeder guards.
7. Release the E‑stop button on the operator console.

1. Press the E‑stop button on the operator console.

2. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease to the three grease nipples on the roller bearings of the side transfer legs.

   

3. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease to the eight grease nipples on the linear bushings at the rear of the AIT.

   

4. Release the E‑stop button on the operator console.

1. Rehome the saw if not already in the home position (follower farthest from the saw chamber).

2. Old follower (manufactured prior to September 2016): Apply 1 pump of grease to the two grease nipples on the carriage linear bearings.
   2. New follower (manufactured from September 2016): Apply 1 pump of grease to the grease nipple on the shuttle plate.

     

3. Start a rehoming cycle then press the red STOP button on the operator console when the follower is half-way up the rail.
4. Apply 1 pump of grease again to the same grease nipple(s).
5. Perform 3 rehoming cycles to distribute the grease along the follower rail.

6. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease to the two grease nipples on the paddle linear bearings.

     

7. Wipe off any excess grease.

1. Press the E‑stop button on the operator console.
2. Lift the printer cover.

3. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease to the two grease nipples on the carriage linear bearings.

   

4. Close the printer cover.
5. Release the E‑stop button on the operator console.

1. Press the E‑stop button on the operator console.

2. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease to the six grease nipples on the conveyor roller bearings.

   Note: you may need to lift the printer cover to reach the two conveyor roller bearings closest to the saw chamber.

   

3. Release the E‑stop button on the operator console.

1. Press the E‑stop button on the operator console.

2. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease to the four grease nipples on the roller bearings of the waste conveyor under the saw chamber.

   

3. Apply 2-3 pumps of grease to the grease nipples (four per conveyor) on the roller bearings of the extended waste conveyor(s).
4. Release the E‑stop button on the operator console.

1. Make sure all axes rehome correctly.
2. Start a cutting sequence with normal sticks of timber from an optimised job file and make sure everything runs smoothly.
