Checking the Coolant Flow Rate

Check whether the coolant flow rate is correct.

If the coolant flow rate is not correct, there may be an effect on the milling results.

MEMO This work is not necessary if the correct coolant flow was already confirmed during the series of work involved in collet maintenance.
Procedure
  1. Show VPanel.
  2. Open the Machine settings window.

      1. Select The coolant is hitting the middle part of the dummy pin., and then click Next.
      2. Click Complete.

    • If coolant is not applied to the middle of the dummy pin

      1. Click Next without selecting The coolant is hitting the middle part of the dummy pin..

      2. Check the following items, and then click Close.

        There must be a sufficient amount of coolant.
        Filling the Coolant Tank
        Coolant nozzles must not be clogged.
        Cleaning the Coolant Nozzle
        The tank filter must not be clogged.
        Replacing the Coolant

      3. Perform this procedure from the start and check the coolant flow rate again.

        If the coolant flow rate is still insufficient even after adding coolant and cleaning the coolant nozzles, contact your authorized DGSHAPE Corporation dealer.
