16.0. PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE ALTIVAR 31
DRIVES:
This procedure is to be used to adjust the output pressure of the ChipBLASTER high-pressure unit.
Please be aware that you must have working knowledge of the complete ChipBLASTER system
before making any pressure adjustments. All ChipBLASTER units are shipped out of the factory
pre-set at a working pressure of 1000 psi, (68.9 Bar) unless otherwise specified by the end user. This
pressure can be read from the high pressure gauge located on the side of the ChipBLASTER unit.
Check the machine tool specifications for a maximum operating pressure before proceeding with
this procedure.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MANUFACTURERS MAXIMUM OPERATING
PRESSURE.
Procedure:
16.0.1. Shut off power to the ChipBLASTER unit.
16.0.2. Locate the Coolant Manifold Assembly under the ChipBLASTER’s coolant tank.
This Manifold Assembly will need to be accessible during this procedure for
achieving settings over 1000 psi (68.9 Bar).
16.0.3. Locate coolant outlet #1 (SOL A), and coolant outlet #2 (SOL B), disconnect the
solenoid din connector from each solenoid coil.
16.0.4. Repower the ChipBLASTER unit.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON LIVE EQUIPMENT.
16.0.5. Energize call for coolant on the machining center.
16.0.6. Locate and adjust the high-pressure unloader using the high-pressure gauge to
view the pressure setting. Set the high-pressure unloader 200-psi (13.7 Bar) over
the desired working pressure. After the correct adjustment has been made, tighten
the lock nut to secure the setting.
TURNING THE UNLOADER ADJUSTMENT ROD (CLOCKWISE) INCREASES THE
PRESSURE SETTING OF THE UNLOADER.
TURNING THE UNLOADER ADJUSTMENT ROD (COUNTER-CLOCKWISE)
DECREASES THE PRESSURE SETTING OF THE UNLOADER.
16.0.7 Turn off high-pressure coolant and power down the ChipBLASTER unit.
16.0.8. Locate coolant outlet #1 (SOL A), and coolant outlet#2 (SOL B), re-connect the
solenoid din connector from each solenoid coil.
16.0.9. Open the enclosure door and locate the adjustable frequency drive (located in the
lower left corner of the enclosure).
