Repair and Maintenance

Cleaning

Caution!

Always disconnect the mains plug for all adjustment and main-

tenance work! Risk of serious injuries or damage due to inad-

vertent starting up of the device, or hazard due to electric shock!

1. After use, thoroughly clean all chips from the machine using a

brush or handbrush. Do not use compressed air for cleaning.

2. Regularly lubricate or oil all moving parts, spindles and

guides!

The outside of the housing can be cleaned with asoft, dryor

damp cloth. It is possible to use mild soap or other suitable

cleaning agent here. Solvents or cleaning agents containing al-

cohol (e.g. petrol, cleaning alcohol etc.) should be avoided, since

these can attack the plastic housing casings as well as wash off

the lubricants.

Please observe:

Changing the power supply cord may only be carried out by our

Proxxon-Service-Department or aqualified specialist!

Adjusting the play of the guides (Fig. 13)

Note:

Even if the guides are regularly lubricated or oiled, it is un-

avoidable that the guides will exhibit play after some time due to

wear.

The procedure described here using the example of the upper

carriage is the same for all guides, therefore it applies analo-

gously to the other guides on your lathe. For that reason they will

not be treated separately here. Adjust the guides according to the

motto: As "tightly" as necessary, as easy running as possible!

Please consider: If guides are set too closely,this causes high-

er operating forces as well as increased wear!

1. Release and slightly unscrew the counter nuts 1(Fig. 13) of

the adjusting screws 2for the upper carriage 3using an open-

end spanner 5.

2. Evenly turn in the adjusting screws 2with an Allen key 4un-

til the play is eliminated.

3. Retighten the counter nuts 1. In the process, hold the ad-

justing screws 2inposition with the fixed spanner 5sothat

they do not misadjust again.

4. Then check if the support can still be moved easily and if it

runs completely without play.

Adjusting the play of the handwheels (Fig. 14):

Just as for the guides, handwheel wear during operation cannot

be avoided which ensures that the backlash increases slowly

but consistently.Tominimise this again, please proceed as fol-

lows:

1. Hold on to the handwheel 1and release the cap nut 2.

2. Turn the handwheel slightly to the right.

3. Retighten the cap nut while still holding the handwheel.

Please consider here as well:

The complete eliminationofthe backlash and atoo "tight" ad-

justment for the handwheels is unreasonable: If the handwheels

are set too closely,this causes higher operating forces as well

as increased wear here as well!

Accessories for the FD 150/E

Cutting tool set (Article24524)

The contents of the cutting tool set were already introduced in

the chapter "Select cutting tool"

Ring gear drill chuck (Article24152)

Drills with sizes 0.5 to 6.5 mm can be clamped in the drill chuck

to manufacture holes on the plane side.

Inserting the drill chuck (Fig. 15)

1. Remove the travelling lathe centre from the quill as explained

at "Working with the tailstock".

2. Appropriately clean off the grease and dirt from the cone of

the chuck 1and quill 2.

3. Insert the collar into the quill and firmly push on the drill

chuck.

4. Clamp the drill.

5. The complete tailstock 3can now be moved up to the work-

piece to be machined after the clamping lever 4has been re-

leased. Then tighten clamping screw 4.

6. Turn the handwheel 5tomove the drill up to the workpiece.

7. Switch on the machine and turn the handwheel 5tolower the

drill to the required depth in the workpiece.

Atip: If the drill is set down verylightly,the scale ring 6can be

"zeroised". This enables the manufacture of drill holes with ade-

fined depth by observing the scale markings and counting the

handwheel revolutions during infeed: One revolution will tra-

verse the drill by 1mm.

Multiple range ER 11 collets (Article 24154)

The collets are particularly suitable for machining round parts

with great precision. The true running accuracy is considerably

higher here than when working with ajaw chuck.

Caution!

It is possible to use workpieces with diameters of up to 0.5 mm

below the nominal diameter of the collet.
