Startup Guidelines (0:00-3:17)
0:00-3:17: “Hello. Hello. Welcome back to another legacy training video. Now, in this video we’re going to get started with the first steps of turning on the machine during our startup, our startup routine. And that is gonna be tied directly to our operations checklist. Now if you haven’t done this already, you can find the link to download this checklist in the machine orientation section, um, where again, I show you where to download it and you just click on that download link. Now for from here we’re only gonna focus on the section of the startup checklist checklist for the next couple of videos. We’re not gonna break out every item into its own on dedicated video, but we’re definitely gonna create groups of sections discussed in each video. This video is gonna be very simple, very straightforward. We’re gonna talk about, uh, shop temperature. Um, make sure your power is on and your air compressor is on before we actually turn on the machine. Okay? So that’s all we’re gonna focus on here, which are the first items on our checklist. So the main thing I want to talk about is the temperature in your shop. So from certain components such as the spindle manufacturer, okay, they have in their manual, um, a range that your ambient temperature needs to be in your shop, um, for the operation of your spindle in machine in that range is between 50 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. So if your shop is not climate controlled to be with the, within those ranges, you’re gonna need to, um, incorporate something in order to either heat your shop or cool down your shop in order to hit those temperature ranges. Okay? Um, that way you can have these spindle and the, the mechanical components on the machine last as long as possible without a additional wear and tear, because if it’s outside of those ranges, um, obviously things expand or contract based on temperature and that can have a lasting result on the longevity of those moving mechanical components within the spindle and the machine. Okay? So critical if you can, um, hit that, um, temperature range between 50 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit, make sure that it hits that temperature before we actually power on and use the machine. So that’s the first thing. The second item on the list here is simply making sure things are turned on, such as your power if you have a phase converter and your air compressor and dryer. So the power for phase converter may not, uh, it’s not gonna be for most of you. Most of you are running off of a single phase power source, like for this Maverick four by eight. Behind me. It’s a six horsepower spindle that’s driven off of a single phase power source. And so we don’t have to turn on a phase converter power source, uh, to make it so we’re converting single phase to three phase for larger spindles or larger machines. Some of you may be in that situation that you need to do that, so that’s why it’s on the list. Check to make sure that your, your power is turned on if necessary for the machine through a phase converter. And last one is make sure your air compressor and air dryer are turned on as well. Uh, some of you may have those combined into one unit where the compressor has its own built-in dryer Or others may have them, um, separate as two separate units that you need to power on and make sure are operational before we actually turn on the machine itself. So just follow those, those items to make sure temperature, power and error turned on and you got this video covered. Thanks for watching and we’ll see you guys in the next video.”
