3.2 HDC-3-5AX - Spindle Chiller Maintenance

Introduction

This section provides details about the maintenance required for the HDC-3-5AX spindle chiller.

Maintenance

Before performing maintenance on the chiller. The equipment must be shut down first. Turn off the machine and wait for the chiller to be shut down for 5 minutes. Otherwise there will be a risk of electric shock.

When the ambient temperature is below 0°C and the shutdown is long, the internal water must be drained.

Maintenance Item Interval
Inspect/Clean Air filter Weekly
Check fluid tank level Weekly
Fill fluid tank As Required
Remove dust and decontamination from unit Weekly
Replace the chiller fluid Annualy
Inspect/Clean fluid tank When fluid is changed
Inspect/Clean condenser Annualy
Clean inside and outside of unit Annualy

Inspect the fluid tank level by looking at the fluid level gauge located on the front of the spindle chiller [7]. To add fluid to the tank, remove the cap to the inlet at the top of the unit, and fill the tank with a Mobil Velocite Oil No 3 (PN: 93-4894) until the gauge reads the level is at the top of the NORMAL or at the FULL level. The tank capacity is approximately 25 liters.

3

To clean the air inlet filter, remove the grate to gain access to the filter unit. From there, remove the filter screen so that any dust or debris can be picked out of the filter. If necessary, wash the filter using water to get rid of contaminants. 

4

Make sure that the air outlets are clear of dust and debris. It is also recommended to allow a clear area of 12 inches directly behind the air outlet vents. This will allow for proper air circulation in the system.

Transportation Requirements

  1. When handling the chiller, do not overturn or tilt it.
  2. When lifting, make sure that the chiller is upright and is not higher than 7.8 inches above the ground.

Note: The chiller itself is designed with lifting eye bolts, please use these lifting eye bolts.

Storage Requirements

When the chiller is not being used for an extended period, protect the interior of the machine and the condenser from dust and moisture.
  • Drain the chiller fluid and drain the fluid in the pump, filter and plumbing.

Steps of operation:

  • First shut down and cut off the power supply, and operate after 5 minutes.
  • Close the inlet and export ball valve and remove the connection pipeline between the equipment.
  • Drain the water purification/oil tank, water/oil pump, filter, plate change, water/oil inside the pipeline in turn.
  • Use compressed air to blow the internal residual liquid through each interface. It is best to blow it several times at intervals. When no liquid flows out of the interface, it is proved that it has been blown clean. Repeat until no liquid flows out of the interface.
  • Close the inlet and outlet ball valve and each drainage valve.
 
  • Please place this machine away from the dust.
  • Please wipe the surface of the body clean, and blow away the dust and oil from the inside with an air pump.
  • A protective cover is put on the outside of the device to prevent dust and moisture from sticking.
  • Store this machine in a flat ground, dry and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight.
  • If the device is equipped with casters, please make sure that the casters are fixed or locked to avoid damage caused by sliding the casters.
  • Ambient temperature requirements: 0-45 C degrees, ambient humidity requirements: ≤ 90%RH

3.3 HDC-3-5AX - Spindle Chiller Troubleshooting

Symptom Table

Symptom

Probable Cause

Solution
Alarm 4.9003 Insuficient Spindle Coolant Chiller Flow Flow sensor on the spindle chiller may need to be adjusted to read correct flow.  Adjust the flow sensor using the slotted holes on the sensor, move the sensor towards the motor side until the bit changes. The slots on the sensor might not be enough adjustment, if so open the slots further to get the adjustment needed. Contact Haas Service if this issue continues to persist. 
Air may be introduced into the system via chiller lines not being fully plugged into the fittings or seals that are broken and sucking in air.  Replace any broken seals and make sure the lines are fully plugged into the fittings. Prime the lines and make sure the no air bubbles are present in the lines. 
Coolant tank chiller issues with less than normal pressure or an over-heated pump.

The correct placement of the 3” return tube. 

A 6’’ tube (58-3728) being used rather than the 3” tube (58-0742). The 6” tube was bottoming out and cause a major flow restriction. See Coolant Tank Chiller section for images
