TRAK LPM Programming, Safety, & Operating Manual
3.3.18 Pneumatic System
The machine requires a supply of compressed air between 85-100 psi with a
recommended air supply of ½” I.D. Air pressure to pneumatic components, the ATC
slide mechanism, air blast and air purge (internal spindle) can be controlled individually
by means of the adjusting valves located at the back of the LPM.
3.3.19 Enclosure Doors
The front door has an electro-mechanical safety interlock that must be engaged when
running a CNC program. If the door is opened during a machining operation, the
program will be shut down.
Do not open the door during a tool change. If you do this accidentally, see section 12.1.7
for instructions on resetting the ATC.
The enclosure is also equipped with left and a right latched and lockable access doors.
3.3.20 Beacon Lights
The machine has a beacon light attached to the top of the machine to give the user status
of what is going on. The lights perform as follows:
a. The green light is illuminated when the machine is running a program.
b. The yellow light is illuminated when operator input is required, like when a part
change needs to be done.
c. The red light is illuminated when an alarm has occurred.
3.3.21 Chip Removal System
The LPM uses an auger chip removal system. When the forward direction is chosen on
the run panel, the auger will displace chips into the chip cart. It can be run momentarily
in the reverse direction in order to free a jam.
3.3.22 Work Lamps
The LPM comes equipped with two fluorescent work lamps, which come on
automatically when the power is turned on.
CAUTION!
Always observe low air pressure and low oil level warnings.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to disable or override the safety interlock.
WARNING!
Use extreme care when working with the auger, serious injury
could occur.
