First, the machine must be located properly so that external factors, such as vibration tnd excess heat or cold, will not affect the working properties of the machine, Second, the fHoor must be substantial enough to support the machine weight and not deform wnder nor~ ‘mal working conditions. Third, the machine must be accurately leveled at initial instal- lation and the level checked periodically thereafter. \When lifting the machine, attach a three-legged cable (see Figure iting the Machin ‘The 13) of chain boist from the lifting brackets on the machine to an overhead crane. cerane should be able to safely support a load of 12 tons. Wooden blocks should be inserted between the machine an! the lifting cables or chains to prevent damage to the precision parts of the machine. “The hook-up for the machine {s as follows: ‘Three "P" hooks are bolted to the machine base and are located at the left front, right front and at the rear of the machine. ‘The rear hook is located in the center of the machine to provide a three potnt suspension system and a good balance. [After the machine has been set in place the lifting hooks should be removed and stored for future use. ‘The tapped holes should be plugged to keep the threads clean in the event of future use. JO Figue 13 Lung te acing Publication No. G-859CINCINNATI 200 AND 200 SERIES CENTERLESS GRINDING MACHINES Location and Foundation Requirements. Locate the machine in an area free from extrane ous vibrations, having @ clean, dust-free atmosphere and moderate temperature. Do not place the machine in an area subject to extreme temperature changes as this will affect the accuraey of the machine, Provide adequate space in all directions to permit use of the ‘muchine's maximum ranges and to allow servicemen adequate room to make adjustments. ‘To maintain the accurate alignment bullt into the machine, a foundation constructed of re~ inforced concreto, a minimum of 6 inches thick, 1s recommended. Ifthe building, in which the machine is to be placed, has a wooden or similar type Moor which is a short distance hove ground level, we recommend that the flooring be removed, in the avea of the ma- ‘chine, and a eonerete slab be constmicted from ground to floor level, If the machine is {installed on an upper floor, locate it over a supporting column, if possible, to minimize vibration. If possible, locate the machine where overhead lifting equipment of at Least 12 tons capacity is available for handling and positioning the machine. leveling. For leveling your centerless grinder, = sensitive graduated tube spirit level, reading to 10 ssecontls per graduation (0, 0005" per foot) and pro- vided with serew adjustment, should be used. A carpenter's level or the bulb in a machinist's combi~ nation square is not good enough. The actual length of a level frame has no hearing on the accuracy of the level — the length of the glass tube determines level sensitiveness. short level with a long tube is best. ‘To level the machine, place the leveling instrument fon the work rest pad {top surface of the lower slide). ‘Then adjust, the 1-1/4" corners until the leveling instrument indicates that the work rest pad is level both lengthwise and across its surface, Finally, adjust the re~ raining leveling screws until they are solidly in contact with the floor; recheck level of ‘work rest pad; and lock all leveling serews with lock nuts. ling screws at the bed Lava st Aey Boling the Machine to the Foundation. Where extreme grinding accuracy 1s required, it ‘may be necessary to replace the standard leveling serew (Figure 14) with a combination leveling jack and hold-down bolt. Bolting the machine to the foundation may be accomplished by means of the hole through the conter of the leveling jack. Each consists of an adjusting screw, locking nut, and a steel disc screw-seat which increases the effective bearing area of the serew upon the “ ‘The Cincinnati Milling Machine Co,INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS foundation. Before proceeding, it will be necessary to accurately locate the bolt holes. Notice that the center distances of bolt holes given on the "floor plan" (Figures 154 and 15B) are approximated, Proceed as follows: 4, Drill the bolt hotes about 8" in diameter. 2, Lower the machine onto several 1" thick boards, and engage the holddown muts on the ‘anchor bolts. When lowering the machine over the anchor bolts, the steel dise serew- seats must first be dropped over the anchor bolts before inserting the bolts through the leveling serews. 3, Pill the holes around the anchor bolts with quick drying cement, thin enough to flow casily. After the cement around the anchor bolts has set, the boards should be re- moved, the machine carefully leveled, and the anchor bolts tightened securely Fue 158 Foor Pan Showing f Leston a ation Pads | Tooter g son 8 3| 2 14 i 1 ot 4 Hr “aa 39280 Tass 22807 oss ol Lease I Mache A | ie Figure 158 nese + Floor Plan = Showing 2512 ai) Leer Lowingfae 39036796818 rt eel Sitawrasen foe ae onwe” Moz 638 Hl —l B spel — a i Publication No. G-869CINCINNATI 200 AND 300 SERIES CENTERLESS GRINDING MACHINES LUBRICATION General, A completely automatic lubrication system, together with a number of manually attended alemite grease fittings, are used for the lubrication of 00 Series Centerless Grinding Machines. Periodic and thorough lubrication with the correct lubricant will help maintain the precision and accuracy built into the machine and assure a long working Ife. Ater the machine has been uncrated and cleaned, fill the hydraulic of! and lubricant reser- voles and lubricate all points called out in the lubrication chart and diagram (see pages 19 land 20). A list of approved lubricants may be obtained from Publication No, M-2258. Regulating and Grinding Wheel Lubrication System. This lubrication system utilizes hy= raulie fluta from the hydraulle system, ‘The fluid is housed in a 20-gallon reservoir loc- ‘ated in machine base. The main hydraulic pump supplies the lubrication. The high pres~ sure flow per minute Is controlled by a flow control valve. This pump provides lubrication for the grinding wheel and regulating whee! spindle bearings and the regulating wheel drive ‘box and sprockets. A replaceable cartridge-type filter 1s mounted in the wheethead. Figure 16 dette Unit 'A protective pressure switch, located in the grinding wheel motor electrical ctreuit, in~ tures that there {i sufffetent lubrication for the spindle bearings at all times. ‘The switch fs actuated by the lubricating ofl pressure within the spindle compartments. As lubrication pressure builds up to the working level the switch closes, allowing the grinding wheel motor {o start. Conversely, if the pressure drops below the proper working pressure (7 psi), the grinding wheel drive motor is automatically stopped, 16 ‘The Cincinnati Milling Machine Co,LUBRICATION Wey Lubrication System. Standard Centuramlc and TwinGrip machines are equipped with a ‘Trabon lubrication system. This system {s entirely self-contained, employing its own reservoir, sight gage, pamp and lines. It also has a pressure safety disk in case of Clogged lines. ‘The system lubricates the lower slide ways upper slide dovetails and bearing Surfaces. Mt also takes rare of Regulating Wheel Truing, Grinding Wheel Truing, sliding wheel surfaces, profile parts, and cam surfaces if necessary. This system is controlled by a timer located in the electrical cabinet and set at the factory. A sight gage and filler port are provided for checking and maintaining the reservoir oil level. Regulating Wheel Spindle Outboard Support. The bearing supporting the outer end of the regulating wheel (nearest the operator) is pressure lubricated by main hydrautte pump. Proper lubrication plays an important part in permitting these units to fumetion accurately. The grinding wheel truing unit is automatically lubricated except for one alemite grease fitting. This fitting requires monthly attention. Regulating Wheel Drive Sheaves. Two variable piteh pulleys are used in the regulating ‘wheel drive system, ‘The driven pulley incorporates an alemite type grease fitting which ‘Should be tended at least once every three months, Fill the sheave with the recommended type lubrfeant until the grease overflows at the small hole in the pipe plug on the outer half of the sheave. ‘The drive pulley 1s an oil filed pulley which should be checked every 500 hours of operation. To check the fluid level, remove the pulley from the motor and lay it ton its side on a bench, Remove the pipe plug from the upper face and observe the quantity of oll. Fill the pulley to the plug opening and replace the plug. (Rebuild the pulley every 2 years or when it uses 60% of the reservoir capacity in 500 hours operation.) Filter. All lubricating off for the grinding wheet spindle flows « cated in the hydraulic pump area and another behind the spindle in the wheethead area. AML Iubrication ofl for the regulating wheel drive and spindle bearings is also filtered through the filter loeated in the hydraulic pump area. Both filter elements are the replaceable type, ‘As a general rule, the filter element should be replaced at least once every six months. However, it may be desirable to replace the element more frequently if the grinder is oper fied in an extremely dusty area, ‘To replace the element, remove the nut at the top of the filter and remove the housing and eartidge as a unit, Slide the cartridge out of the housing over the center rod. Clean the housing thoroughly and install a new cartridge (replacement ‘cartridge number: CMMCo. No, 246827; CMMCo, No, 2280-F).

Operating the machine at full 100% load capacity, however, does not always indi- cate the Centerless Grinder is performing at its'peak of efficiency. Other factors to be considered are wheel wear and rate of stock removal, diamond life and time lost due to excessive wheel truing. It is of prime importance to select the correct ‘whee! for the grinding operation to obtain efficient results. If an improper wheel is selected, the loadmeter may indicate whether the wheel is too hard and glazing Publication No. G-869. 23CINCINNATI 200 AND 300 SERIES CENTERLESS GRINDING MACHINES oF whether itis too soft and breaking down permanently, If the londmeter 1s ignored and the machine is operated at an overload rate for too long ‘an interval, civenit hrealcars in the electri ceal circuit will open and automatically shut ‘down the machine. It will then be necessary to reset the cireuit breakers, located in the electrical control compartment, before the ‘machine can continue operation. Of course, to prevent this condition from recurring it wil be necessary to readjust the machine to operate at a more satisfactory load, Cutting Fluid Valves (Figure 24B). These cise valves control the flow of cutting fluid to the Figo 288 grinding and regulating wheels. The larger Uasaneter valve controls the flow to the grinding wheel While the smaller valve supplies the regula~ ting wheel. Both valves are operated by moving the lever attached to the top of the valve, Fluid flow is stopped when the lever is turned fully counterclockwise Rotating the lever clockwise inereases fluid flow until maximum flow is obtained ‘with the lever tumed fully clockwise. Upper and Lower Slide Clamps (Figure 25). The upper and lower slides provide ‘the adjastable movement which enables the Centerless Grinder to grind workpieces hav- ing a large range of diameter sizes. The low~ ‘er slide carries the workrest, upper slide and regulating wheel housing. It 1s operated by the infeed handwheel and moves the above ‘mentioned items toward and away from the ‘grinding wheel when the upper slide is felamped to the lower slide. Lever "A" is ‘used to clamp the lower slide to the swivel plate. ‘The upper alide, carrying the regula~ tng wheel housing, is used to move the regi lating wheel to or away from the work rest. Movement of the upper slide is also controlled by the infeed handwheel; however, before Independent movement of the upper slide is possible, the lower slide must be in a clamped cu ae position and the upper slide unclamped. ‘The Cincinnati Milling Machine Co.OPERATOR CONTROLS comes Figure 25, ‘The clamping knob and lever "B" are tised to clamp the upper slide to the lower slide.
