 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1
1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This manual is prepared only for the device and function described on the front page. Therefore,
you are requested to carefully read and understand the operating manual of the machine tool,
especially the section describing safety precautions, before using or operating the device and
function.

1-1 Rule
The meanings of our safety precautions to DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION are as follows:

: Failure to follow these instructions could result in loss of life.

DANGER

: Failure to observe these instructions could result in serious harm to a human life
or body.
WARNING

: Failure to observe these instructions could result in minor injuries or serious

machine damages.
CAUTION

1-2 Safety Precautions Relating to the Function/Device Described in This Manual

l Before starting a maintenance check, make sure the machine power is off.

WARNING

l When the unit is injecting high-pressure coolant, be sure the operator’s door is closed and
never expose any part of your hand or body to the injection.

CAUTION l When coolant is injected through a cutting tool or boring bar in the tool holder, make sure
the cutting tool or the boring bar has been secured in the tool holder.
l Use the recommended lubricants, otherwise the machine may cause a problem or
malfunction.
l Use a proper amount of recommended lubricant as specified in 7-4-3.

2 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

2-1 For the Magnum Coolant Unit

(1) Never idle-run the high-pressure pump.
(2) Use the pump within the performance specified in the specifications.
(3) Always check the unit before use.
(4) If water is left in the pump in a cold area, it may be frozen to break the cylinder, pipes, etc.
To protect the pump from such accidents, observe the following points:
l (Before operation)
a) Turn the pump pulley by hand and see whether or not there is a freeze in the cylinder.
b) If water is frozen or the pulley cannot be turned by hand, warm the cylinder with hot
water, etc. Never hit the unit with a metal tool or the like, which could break the cylinder
bolts.
l (After operation)
a) Raise the water suction hose higher than the tank or take off the hose. Take off the
water feed hose and run the pump for one to two minutes to eject the residual water
out.
(5) If the pump is not used for a long period, run the pump for 5 to 10 minutes every one to two
weeks to lubricate the drive system and to prevent the plunger gland packing and valve from
being stuck.

2-2 For the Machine Tool

Grease the machine tool as instructed in “7 MAINTENANCE”.

5-1 Filling the Tank with Coolant

(1) Fill the coolant tank of the machine tool with coolant.
(2) Turn on the NC power. Then the alarm indicator lamp "LOW COOLANT LEVEL" goes on.
(3) Press the pushbutton switch of the alarm "LOW COOLANT LEVEL." (Keep pressing the
pushbutton switch until coolant is pumped into the unit by the feeder pump (19) and the
alarm indicator lamp "LOW COOLANT LEVEL" goes off. When the lamp goes off, the feeder
pump keeps running even though you finger off the pushbutton switch.)
(4) Check the coolant level in the tank of the machine tool. Add coolant if the level is low, paying
attention to the coolant feeder pump (19) in the machine tool not to run idle. The feeder
pump stops pumping out when both the clean coolant tank and the collected coolant sludge
filter tank are filled up to about 260 liters (68.7 US gallons) in total.
(5) When the feeder pump stops pumping fill the machine tool coolant tank with coolant.

7-1 Unit Structure and Operation

Refer to Fig. 3-1.
(1) The Magnum Coolant unit is composed of a coolant tank portion [clean, a coolant tank (1), a
collected coolant sludge filter tank (2), a magnet filter tank (13), and a mesh filter (14)], a
bag filter portion, and a pump portion [high-pressure pump (15) and a motor (15)].
(2) The coolant feeder pump in the machine tool sends coolant into the collected coolant sludge
filter tank (2) of the Magnum Coolant unit.
(3) The coolant runs through the collected coolant sludge filter tank (2), magnet filter tank (13),
and mesh filter (14) to the bag filter, where coolant is percolated and sent to the high-
pressure pump (15) which also pumps out coolant to the machine tool.
(4) The feeder pump in the machine tool can control the coolant amount in the Magnum
Coolant tank by the signals sent by the float switches (9 and 10).
(5) The Mazatrol screen displays the alarm messages related to the coolant system. Check the
kind of alarm with the Magnum unit controller display lamps (See “4-2 Kind of Indicator
Lamp”).

7-3-2 Change of high-pressure pump gland packings
Refer to Fig. 7-3.
(1) Close the valve located at the side of the feed pump (19).
(2) Open the drain cock at the bottom of the bag filter (12) to drain about 20 liters (5.28 US
gallons) of water (See Fig. 5-1)
(3) Loosen the bolt (F11) to remove the cylinder (F01).
(4) After pulling out the gland packing (F05) with fingers, pull out the water seal (F09) and the
seal (F08) with something like a screw driver, paying attention not to damage the inside of
the cylinder. Remove the adapter (F22), too.
(5) Clean the cylinder interior and apply grease onto it. Then push back the adapter (F22), seal
(F08), and water seal (F09) in this order with fingers.
(6) Put the O-ring (F25) onto the gland packing (F05) and fix the assembly into the cylinder
(F01).
(7) Assemble the cylinder (F01) into the pump with the bolt.
(8) Open the valve at the side of the feed pump (19) (See Fig. 3-1).
(9) Before using the changed packing, be sure to take air out of the high-pressure pump and
filter referring to “5 PREPARATION FOR OPERATION”.

7-3-4 Disassembly and assembly of the pressure regulator valve

Refer to Fig. 7-4.

1. Disassembly

(1) Close the valve located at the side of the feed pump (19).
(2) Open the drain cock at the bottom of the bag filter (12) to drain about 20 liters or 5.28 US
gallons of water (See Fig. 5-1).
(3) Loosen the screw (1) and set the pressure at 0 MPa (0 kgf/cm2 or 0 psi).
(4) Stop the pump and take off the spill hose. Here, take action to prevent coolant from coming
out of the hose.
(5) Loosen the right-hand thread gland (5) to remove the upper parts from the body.
(6) Loosen the gland (6) to remove the body (12).
(7) After the seat (14) has been removed, remove the disk (13) by slightly pushing it up with
something like a screwdriver (– tip type). Here, take care not to damage the piston (10) and
others
(8) Remove two each of the plug (17) and gasket (7).
(9) Slowly push up the portion A with something like a bar under φ16 (0.63”) and pull out the
piston (2) and guide (3).
(10) Check all O-rings and slideways.

2. Assembly

(1) Before assembly apply oil over every slideway and O-ring.
(2) Push in the guide (15) until its face comes even to the body top.
(3) Place the disk (13) on your fingertip and attach it to A. Here, apply grease over the disk to
protect it from dropping.
(4) Additional oil to the guide concave portion through the case hole for the pin (19) before
operation will assure better motion.
(5) Open the valve at the side of the feed pump (19) (See Fig. 3-1).
(6) Before using the assembled valve, be sure to take air out of the high-pressure pump and
filter referring to “5 PREPARATION FOR OPERATION”.

3. Oil filling

Refer to Fig. 7-4.

If the valves make noise while the pump is running or starts running, follow the next steps:
(1) Remove the two plugs (17). Inject oil (industrial lubricant ISO VG 100-150) from the bottom
hole to take out the inner bubbles through the top hole together with the oil. To ease the
bubbles out, loosen the gland (6) and put the plug hole aslant up. But never have the piston
(10) stuck on either the bottom of the body (12) or the guide (15). If they do, oil may not
come in. When they are set, the piston is positioned up by the seat and disk―oil can come
in. It is, therefore, necessary to open the oil route in order to keep the piston at its steady
place by loosening the screw or moving the lever.
(2) When the bubbles are out and the oil is filled, plug the top hole with your finger at once,
mount the bottom plug together with the gasket (7), and tighten them thoroughly.
(3) Mount in the top plug and tighten it thoroughly.

l Before starting a maintenance check, make sure the machine power is off.

WARNING

l Use the recommended lubricants, otherwise the machine may cause a problem or
malfunction.

CAUTION
(1) A regular maintenance check keeps the machine and equipment in good condition for a
long time. So it should be done prior to any other operation.
