TRAK LPM Programming, Safety, & Operating Manual

4.9.3 Coolant Hose

A coolant hose is supplied to aid in cleaning the machine of chips. The coolant pump

must be turned on to use this hose. To increase the pressure through the hose, turn off the

coolant valves located below the spindle.

4.9.4 Checking Coolant Levels

The coolant level should be higher than the baffles located near the coolant pumps and

can be checked visually.

4.10 Air

A single air line is required and located at the rear of the machine. A shut-off valve is

supplied below the main pressure gauge.

4.10.1 Air Hose

A hand air hose is located to the right of the front door and may be used anytime during

operation.

4.10.2 Air Blast

Two air lines are located below the spindle and can be turned on and off by a button on

the front control panel or by the program using an auxiliary event.

4.10.3 Checking Air Pressure

Two pressure gauges are located at the rear of the machine. One regulates the main

incoming pressure to the machine, the second regulates how much air runs through the

spindle bearing assembly keeping out contamination.

4.11 Chip Removal

Chips can be removed with the auger located in the lower front base of the machine.

Chips will exit through the chip spout located on the left side of the machine.

4.11.1 Auger Operation

The auger button is located on the front control panel and can rotate the auger forward or

reverse. To run the auger in reverse you need to hold the reverse button down. Reverse

would only be used in cases where the auger screw gets jammed. This might help free it

up.

If the auger gets jammed and the reverse feature does not free it up, then you should press

the E-stop and pull the coolant tank out towards the front of the machine so you will be

able to see where the auger is jammed. Free up the jammed material and then push the

tank back in place. Do not place your hand down in the chute when it is running or

power is on trying to free the jam. Never remove the chute when power is on.

We recommend the auger be run continuously when the parts you are cutting produce a

lot of chips. Failure to do so may cause chips to overflow into the coolant tank.
