WHEN TO SHARPEN THE BEDKNIFE

NOTE: To fully sharpen a reel mower, you need togrind the reel blades (using a Reel Grinder) andreshape the cutting edge of the bedknife (using theNeary 277 Bedknife Grinder).

NOTE: New bedknives should be ground beforebeing put into use. New bedknives deform and moveto match the shape of the bedbar at the time ofinstallation and therefore MUST be ground to astraight surface after installation.

When the grass is not being cut cleanly, or the cutends of the grass appear torn or ragged, the edgesof the reel blade and bedknife have become roundedand need sharpening. See FIG. 13A. The purpose ofsharpening is to restore the sharp edges to the reeland bedknife as well as to return the mowing unit tothe manufacturers recommended configuration.See page 64 for manufactures specifications.

BEDKNIFE GRINDING ANGLESThe bedknife has two faces that normally need to beground, the top face and the front face (on somemodels, the front face may be curved and not needgrinding.)

The proper grinding angles for the two faces will varydepending on the reel manufacturer. Always followthe manufacturer's recommended specificationsfor bedknife angles.

Typically, however:

There will be a +4 to -10 degrees clearanceangle ground on the top face. It will usuallybe measured relative to the bedknifemounting surface. See FIG. 14A.There will be a 0-30 degrees clearance angleground on the front face. It will usually bemeasured relative to a line perpendicular tothe bedknife mounting surface. See FIG. 14B.

TERMS:Bedknife - the stationary blade in a reel mower.Bedknife Support or bedbar - the bedknife is mounted to this frame member with screws or rivets.Top Face - the horizontal, ground surface of the bedknife.Front Relief Angle - the angle between vertical and the manufacturer’s recommended sharpening angle.Top Relief Angle - the angle between horizontal and the manufacturer’s recommended

sharpening angle.

Recommended Face & Top Angles

Manufacturers recommend the bedknife relief angles should always be maintained to originalmanufacturer’s specifications. Neary Technologies has compiled these angles in a chart below.Angles vary depending on the manufacturer and model. We have included many of the popular modelsin the chart. If your model is not listed, consult your bedknife manufactures manual for therecommended sharpening angles.

Some units do not have the front face ground. For example: Some Toro units (such as the 70” Pro)have a “stellite” hard coated surface. The Toro Turf Pro 84 has a factory ground front face. Consult thebedknife manufacturer when in doubt as to grinding the front face.

AVOID BREATHING MISTS. PROVIDELOCAL VENTILATION. KEEPCONCENTRATED BOTTLE CLOSEDWHEN NOT IN USE.

CONTINUED CONTACT OFCONCENTRATE ON SKIN MAYCAUSE IRRITATION. WASH WITHSOAP AND WATER AFTER CONTACT.

DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. IFINGESTED, CONSULT PHYSICIANAND DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.

(HAZARD POTENTIAL APPLIES TOCONCENTRATE, AND IS LESS ATNORMAL USE DILUTION.)

Mixing the CoolantMix Part No. 80340 Coolant in a separate container, at aratio of 50 parts water to 1 part concentrate. Refer alsoto the label on the Coolant container. If the coolant trayis empty, this will take about 6.5 gallons of water andone pint of concentrate [24.6 liters of water, and 0.5 literof concentrate].

THE COOLANT RATIO AS SPECIFIED MUST BEUSED. TO HIGH A CONCENTRATION ORLOW A CONCENTRATION WILL CAUSECORROSION AND PERFORMANCEPROBLEMS.

USING FLOOD COOLANTFor quality grinding, we highly recommend using floodcoolant to prevent heat buildup on the knife edge.

IF YOU DRY-GRIND, NEVER ALLOW THEBEDKNIFE EDGE TO CHANGE COLOR OR YOUMAY LOSE THE TEMPER IN THE KNIFE EDGE.

Using the CoolantDirect the nozzle so the coolant sprays ontothe bedknife face being ground. FIG. 21 or 22.Some coolant will then also be deflected ontothe grinding wheel. Adjust the flow valve sothere is a steady stream of coolant. Avoid astronger flow than needed, excessive coolantdoesn't cool more, and increases splattering.

Fluid Level in Coolant TankCheck the fluid level in the Coolant tray daily toavoid running out while grinding. Keep thecoolant level between .25 - .50 inches [6-12mm] above the top of the coolant sump.The pump inlet must always be completelysubmerged in water. Never add plain water tothe coolant when the level is low. Always addwater and concentrate in the correctproportions. It is recommended to pre-mixcoolant and water in a separate container forthis purpose.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

MOUNTING A BEDKNIFE FOR GRINDING

Inspect and Clean the BedknifeInspect the bedknife for damage (cracks, warping, bushing wear, excessive bedknife wear). Replace orrepair if necessary, see the mowing unit manufacturer's manual. Thoroughly clean the bedknife, especiallyon the bottom where the magnets will attach.

It is recommended that you thoroughly wire brush the bottom of the bedknife before mounting.

Prepare the Machine for Mounting the BedknifePivot the tooling assembly to the horizontal position (Front face grinding position) and set the bedknife angleto 0 front face angle. Position the grinding head all the way to the right, then crank the carriage back (awayfrom the magnets) to gain clearance for the bedknife. Always wipe any grindings, dirt, etc. from the magnetsand the tooling bar right side slide area before mounting the bedknife.

USING A FLARE CUP WHEELFOR ADDED CLEARANCEThe shape of some bed bars requires using an optionalflare-cup grinding wheel to clear the end supports.See FIG. 23.

Flare-cup wheels can be ordered in several 6" [150 mm]diameter versions. For most applications, the 6" vitrifiedstraight cupped wheel is used. However, if the endmounting flanges of the bedknife are more than 2" [50 mm]high or near the front face of the knife, you may need theoptional 6" flared cup wheel.

For Part Numbers and descriptions of all available grindingwheels, refer to the Grinding Wheels list on Page 12.

ROTATING THE WHEEL GUARDSome bedknives and bedbars have mounting ears so closeto the bedknife top face that there is no clearance for thewheel guard. For these applications, generally a flared cupgrinding wheel should be used and the grinding wheel guardcan be loosened and rotated so the clearance area of theguard allows the bedknife to be ground without interference.When completed, ALWAYS reposition the guard to itsnormal position with the clearance notch down. See FIG. 23

FOR OPERATOR SAFETY, THE GRINDINGWHEEL GUARD MUST BE USED WITH THECLEARANCE AREA UP ONLY WHENREQUIRED FOR BEDBAR CLEARANCE.

MOUNTING A BEDKNIFE FOR GRINDING(Continued)

Mount the Bedknife1. Pull both gage tips forward and rotate the gage intoposition, straight up. Loosen the lock knob and on theright side magnet and center assembly. See FIG. 24.Set the bedknife / bedbar assembly to be ground on themagnets. Move the right side magnet assembly untilthe alignment gage tips are at both ends of th bedknife, then tighten the right side magnet lock knobenough to secure the magnet. When tightening, makecertain the mount is tight to the tooling bar at top andfront.

2. Position the bedknife so the unworn tips on a usedbedknives or the ends of a new bedknife are on thegage tips. See FIG. 25 Pull the bedknife forward firmlyagainst the gage tips. Install the centers by looseningthe arms lock handles only enough to slide the armsand loosening the center lock knobs. Position the centerinto a bedknife hole and tighten the center lock knoband the arm lock handle on both sides. See FIG.25 &26. Turn down and park both alignment gage tips.

BEDKNIVES WITH DUAL CUTTING EDGES

Some mowing unit manufacturers and some aftermarket bedknife manufacturers make a bedknife withDual Cutting Edges as shown in FIG. 28.

Because of the two radiused surfaces that thesebedknives present to the magnets there is minimalholding force.

Therefore, to achieve a solid hold with the magnets, youmust file the bottom side of the bedknife with a flatbastard file as shown in Fig 27.

You must file with a uniform stroke across both radius.File until you have developed flats on the radius that area minimum of 3/32 (.09) [2.3mm] wide and uniform inwidth for the length of the magnet on each end of thebedknife.

BEDKNIFE ALIGNMENTWith this alignment you are aligning the bedknife facesto the grinding head by moving the bedknife support.

End Nib

Alignment is accomplished by touching thegrinding wheel to the bedknife.

With the bedknife / bedbar assembly mounted perprocedure on page 15-16 and in the front facegrinding position with the front face angle set to themower manufacturers factory specification, movethe grinding head to the right end of the bedknife.Now adjust the carriage infeed handwheel until thewheel just touches the bedknife at the end nib ofthe knife face on a used bedknife, or the full knifeface on a new bedknife. On used bedknives, if youdo not want to grind back to factory specifications,but want to grind to match the worn bedknife, thentouch the grinding wheel inside the end nib. SeeFIG. 29.

Next, move the grinding head to the left end of thebedknife. Now without moving the grinding headinfeed, adjust the tooling bar left side adjuster untilthe grinding wheel just touches the bedknife end nibor the knife face on a used bedknife, or the full knifeface on a new bedknife. Again, on a used bedknife ifyou do not want to grind back to factoryspecifications, but want to grind to match the wornbedknife, touch the grinding wheel inside the endnib. See FIG. 30. Because when you adjust the leftside, the right side also moves a small amount, youshould go to the right and left sides several times toverify that you just contact the knife at both ends.This can be done while grinding the knife.

NOTE: These adjustments are done at the sidehandwheel, NOT at the infeed handwheel on thegrinding head.

Grind the front face per the instructions on Page 18and 19.

Then, rotate the tooling bar to the Top Face positionand repeat the above procedure to grind the TopFace. Grind the top face per the instructions onPage 20-22.

GRINDING THE FRONT FACE

NOTE: The following instructions presume that you havealready studied all previous sections of this manual.NOTE: On some mower bedknives, the front face iscurved and therefore may not have to be sharpened.

Position the Bedknife for Front-Face Grinding(See FIG. 31)Loosen the left side tooling rotate lock handle. Rotate thetooling assembly to the front face position (down) and setthe front face angle to the mower manufacturers factoryspecification. Tighten the tooling rotate lock handle.

Check Clearances and Set Traverse LimitsPosition the grinding head so that the grinding wheel justtouches the front face of the bedknife. With the verticalcam and lock lever, adjust the grinding head so the grindingwheel rim extends 1/2" [12mm] or as much as possibleabove the front face to be ground. See FIG. 32.

IF THE GRINDING WHEEL RIM DOES NOTEXTEND OVER THE BEDKNIFE FACE, IT WILLGRIND UNEVENLY AND CAUSE GROOVESACROSS THE SURFACE OF THE BEDKNIFE.

Check for interference:1. Back out the grinding head so the wheel no longer

touches the front face of the bedknife.2. Slide the left and right proximity switches to the far

ends of the rail.3. Set the TRAVERSE speed potentiometer slow. Set

the CARRIAGE TRAVERSE switch ON. Traversethe carriage to the left until the contact area of thegrinding wheel is about 1" beyond the area to beground on the bedknife, then turn the traversepotentiometer to zero. Be prepared to STOP thetraverse earlier if there is any interferencebetween the grinding wheel and the bedbar.

With the carriage still in the position determined in Step 3above, slide the left proximity switch in until its LED lights.

Traverse back to the right until the grinding wheel reachesthe point where it covers the entire area to be ground andgoes past that point by 1" [25 mm] or more if possible.Then set the right proximity switch in the same manner.

NOTE: The area of the grinding wheel which contacts thebedknife is on the left side of the wheel. When grinding theleft end of the bedknife, the area of the wheel which doesn'tcontact the bedknife will still be over the bedknife. See FIG.33. When you go to the right end of the Grinder, the wheeltraverses completely off the bedknife. Infeed the grindingwheel until it very lightly touches the bedknife on the leftside. Now traverse to the right end of the bedknife toassure that the right side is not closer to the grindingwheel. Back the wheel out if necessary until you cantraverse full length with a very light touch at the closestpoint.

GRINDING THE FRONT FACE (Continued)

Grind the BedknifeWhen you are satisfied with the grinder head travel, begin grinding:

REFER TO THE "SAFETY RULES WHEN GRINDING" ON PAGE 3.

NOTE: During the grinding process, watch the spark pattern for the full length of grind, the sparksshould look equal for the full length of grind.

1. Set the GRINDING WHEEL switch to ON.

2. Set the COOLANT PUMP switch to ON. Check the nozzle is directing coolant onto the bedknife. FIG. 22.

3. Set the TRAVERSE speed Potentiometer at about 15 to 20.

NOTE: If an excessive amount of metal stock will have to be removed on one end of the bedknife, recheck your setup first and then the straightness of the bedknife. If it is bowed or twisted, replace it.

4. Set the carriage traverse switch ON. With the horizontal infeed handwheel, crank the grinding head in (clockwise) until the wheel is removing metal lightly from the bedknife. It is recommended to take off about .002 to .003" [.05 to .075 mm] per pass.

NOTE: The horizontal adjustment dial is calibrated in .002" [.05 mm] increments.

5. Continue grinding the bedknife in this manner until you are satisfied with the front face grind. Dress the wheel when necessary. (see "Dressing the Grinding Wheel" on Page 13)

6. Dress the wheel before the final spark out grind. For spark out procedure, see the top of page 22.

By partially grinding both surfaces, the top face and the front face, as shown in FIG. 34, you will resharpen aused bedknife with the least metal removal. FIG. 34 also shows how much stock would be removed if youground the top face surface until sharp. Partially grinding both surfaces is the preferred method for lifeutilization of the bedknife.

FIG. 36

Check Clearances and Set Traverse LimitsPosition the grinding head so that the grinding wheel justtouches the top face of the bedknife. Check to see if therim of the grinding wheel is extended 1/2" [50mm] abovethe top face of the bedknife. If you have previously groundthe front face it most often will be correct. If not, with thevertical cam and lock lever, adjust the grinding head. SeeFig. 36. If the shape of the bedbar interferes with thewheel guard or grinding wheel you will need to makeadjustments.See page 15.

IF THE GRINDING WHEEL RIM DOES NOTEXTEND OVER THE BEDKNIFE FACE, IT WILLGRIND UNEVENLY AND CAUSE GROOVESACROSS THE SURFACE OF THE BEDKNIFE.

Check for interference:1. Back out the grinding head so the wheel no longer

touches the top face of the bedknife.

2. If you have just ground the front face the travel limitshould still be correct, but you should still verify nointerferences as described below. If you did not grindthe front face, follow the full procedure listed below.Slide the left and right proximity switches to the farends of the rail.

3. Set the TRAVERSE speed potentiometer at 10. Set the CARRIAGE TRAVERSE switch ON. Traverse thecarriage to the left until the contact area of the grindingwheel is about 1" beyond the area to be ground on thebedknife, then turn the traverse potentiometer to zero.Be prepared to STOP the traverse earlier if there is anyinterference between the grinding wheel and the bedbar.

GRINDING THE TOP FACE (Continued)

Traverse back to the right until the grinding wheelreaches the point where it covers the entire area to beground and goes past that point by 1" [25 mm] or more ifpossible. Then set the right proximity switch in the samemanner.

NOTE: The area of the grinding wheel which contactsthe bedknife is on the left side of the wheel. Whengrinding the left end of the bedknife, the area of the wheelwhich doesn't contact the bedknife will still be over thebedknife. See FIG. 37. When you go to the right end ofthe Grinder, the wheel traverses completely off thebedknife.

Infeed the grinding wheel until it very lightly touches thebedknife on the left side. Now traverse to the right endof the bedknife to assure that the right side is notcloser to the grinding wheel. Back the wheel out ifnecessary until you can traverse full length with a verylight touch at the closest point.

Grind the BedknifeAlign the bedknife per the procedure on Page 17.

NOTE: Top face alignment is fully independent of the front face alignment and MUST be done.

When you are satisfied with the grinding head travel and alignment begin grinding:

REFER ALSO TO THE "SAFETY RULES WHEN GRINDING" ON PAGE 3.

NOTE: At this point you won't know the condition of the grinding wheel after the previous job. Always dress the wheel before grinding. See Page 13.

1. Set the GRINDING WHEEL switch to ON.

2. Set the COOLANT PUMP switch at ON, and check that the nozzle is directing coolant onto the bedknife.See FIG. 37.

3. Set the TRAVERSE speed potentiometer at about 15 to 20.

NOTE: If an excessive amount of metal stock will have to be removed on one end, recheck your setup first and then check the straightness of the bedknife. If it is bowed or twisted, replace it.

4. Set the carriage traverse switch at on. With the horizontal infeed handwheel, crank the head in (clockwise)until the grinding wheel is removing metal lightly from the bedknife. It is recommended to take off about .002 to .003" [.05 to .075 mm] per pass during the rough grind.

NOTE: The horizontal adjustment dial is calibrated in .002" [.05 mm] increments.

5. Continue grinding the bedknife in this manner until you are satisfied with the top face grind. Dress the wheel when necessary. (See dressing the Grinding Wheel" on page 13). During the grinding process, watch the spark pattern for the full length of grind, the sparks should look equal for the full length of grind.

6. Dress the wheel before making the final spark out grind.

GRINDING THE TOP FACE (Continued)

On the spark out passes, crank the grinding head in (clockwise) only about .001" [.025 mm] and then let thegrinding wheel spark out. For sparking out, always traverse the grinding head 10 to 20 passes withoutcranking the grinding head in further. To get the finest top-face grind, set the TRAVERSE knob at slow speedfor this final grinding sparkout. This process improves the surface finish of the grind and improves the grindquality.

NOTE: What you are looking for is a "near sparkout" - about a 99% reduction in grinding spark from a normal grind. Don't continue sparking out until you have no sparks, because this could be an extremely long time.

SHUT OFF THE COOLANT PUMP SWITCH BEFORE YOU SHUT OFF THE GRINDINGWHEEL. THIS WILL ALLOW THE WHEEL TO SPIN DRY. IF THE WHEEL RETAINS TOOMUCH COOLANT, IT WILL BE UNBALANCED WHEN YOU TURN ON THE GRINDINGMOTOR AGAIN.

REMOVING THE BEDKNIFETo remove the bedknife, rotate the tooling assembly to the front face grinding position (down). Remove theright hand center from the bedbar by backing the center back as far as necessary. DO NOT loosen the armlock; grasp the bedknife and pull it off the magnets. If the next bedknife to be ground is the same type and sizeas the previous, simply mount it and proceed with verifying mounting and proceed with new alignment. If thenext bedknife to be ground is a different type or size, follow the full installation procedure.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR POLYCARBONATEWINDOWS

Cleaning Instructions

DO NOT USE GASOLINEAdherence to regular and propercleaning procedures is recommendedto preserve appearance and performance.

Washing to Minimize ScratchingWash polycarbonate windows with a mild dish washing liquid detergent and lukewarm water, using a cleansoft sponge or a soft cloth. Rinse well with clean water. Dry thoroughly with a moist cellulose sponge toprevent water spots. Do not scrub or use brushes on these windows. Also, do not use butyl cellosolve indirect sunlight.Fresh paint splashes and grease can be removed easily before drying by rubbing lightly with a goodgrade of VM&P naphtha or isopropyl alcohol. Afterward, a warm final wash should be made, using a milddish washing liquid detergent solution and ending with a thorough rinsing with clean water.

Minimizing Hairline ScratchesScratches and minor abrasions can be minimized by using a mild automobile polish. Three suchproducts that tend to polish and fill scratches are Johnson paste Wax, Novus Plastic Polish #1 and #2,and Mirror Glaze plastic polish (M.G. M10). It is suggested that a test be made on a corner of thepolycarbonate window with the product selected following the polish manufacturer's instructions.

Some Important "DON'TS"♦ DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on the polycarbonate windows.♦ Never scrape polycarbonate windows with squeegees, razor blades or other sharp

instruments.♦ Benzene, gasoline, acetone or carbon tetrachloride should NEVER be used on polycarbonate

windows.♦ DO NOT clean polycarbonate windows in hot sun or at elevated temperatures.

Graffiti Removal• Butyl cellosolve, (for removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.)• The use of masking tape, adhesive tape or lint removal tools works well for lifting off old

weathered paints.• To remove labels, stickers, etc., the use of kerosene, VM&P naphtha or petroleum spirits is

generally effective. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat (hairdryer) to soften the adhesive and promote removal.

GASOLINE SHOULD NOT BE USED!

CARRIAGE LINEAR BEARING REPLACEMENT

STEP 1--Remove the four screws of one linear bearing and slide the linear bearing off the end of the carriage shaft.

STEP 2--Insert a new linear bearing onto the end of the carriage shaft with the tension adjustment screw pointing outward. See FIG. 44.

STEP 3--Adjust the tension screw of the linear bearing so when you radially rotate the linear bearing around the carriage shaft there should be no free play between the linear bearing and the carriage shaft.

NOTE: Tension is too tight if you feel a cogging action when you rotate the linear bearing around the shaft. This cogging is from the skidding of the bearing on the shaft and indicates the tension screw is to tight. Sliding the bearing block back and forth should be a smooth uniform motion.

Repeat Steps 1 through 3 with the other two linear bearings.

ADJUSTMENTS

FIG. 44

STEP 4--Slide linear bearing under carriage and attach with the four screws.

STEP 5--After all three linear bearings are secured to the carriage, check for correct bearing tension. The bearing tension is correct when you try to lift the carriage and can feel no carriage movement. If there is movement this means there is up and down free play. The most dependable method of checking free play is to use a magnetic base dial indicator attached to the traverse frame weldment and reading the vertical movement above each bearing. This movement should be within .001" [.03 mm]. When pulling the carriage in the traversing direction, there should be only approximately a three lbs force, with the belt clamp disengaged. To double check the assembly, slide the carriage from "end of travel" to "end of travel", it should have very uniform resistance through its full range.

SETTING THE BEARING TENSION CORRECTLY IS CRITICAL TO PROPER GRINDING.BEARINGS WHICH ARE TOO TIGHT OR TOO LOOSE WILL CAUSE POOR GRINDQUALITY. ALSO, BEARINGS WHICH ARE TOO TIGHT WILL HAVE SUBSTANTIALLYSHORTER LIVES AND MAY DAMAGE THE SHAFT.

If there is backlash in the Grinder Head Infeedhandwheel (FIG. 45), there are two adjustmentpoints on each to check:

1. Washers behind the handwheel:

A. Loosen (about half a turn) the setscrewholding the handwheel to the shaft. This setscrewis accessed by removing the calibrationring setscrew and rotating the calibration ringto access the handwheel setscrew.

B. Tighten the hex lock nut which secures thehandwheel to 100 in. lbs. [1.15 kg-m], thenback off 1/2 turn.

C. Check for .015 in. [.04mm] gap betweenthe wave washer and the flat washer. See FIG.46. Re-adjust the hex lock nut if necessary.

D. Tighten the setscrew holding the handwheelto the shaft. Install and tighten the calibrationring setscrew.

2. Check the nylon ball tension on theadjustment shaft threads at the grinding headslide. See FIG. 45. When you turn thehandwheel there should be no free play in thehandwheel before the grinding head slidemoves. If there is free play, tighten thesetscrew that pushes the nylon ball againstthe acme thread of the adjustment shaft. Thenylon ball preloads the free play out of thethreaded joint between the adjustment shaftand the tooling bar slide block. Apply tensiononly enough to zero the free play.

DO NOT over tension the setscrew as theadjuster will be difficult to turn.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.OVERTIGHTENING COULDDAMAGE THE BELT OR TRAVERSEDRIVE SYSTEM.

TRAVERSE CLAMP FORCE

If the traverse clamp is slipping during regularoperation it may be necessary to tighten the clamp.To tighten, loosen the jam nut and screw the tip out.Move the traverse belt out of the way and verify theclamped distance from the tip to the clamping block(shoe). See FIG. 53. Lock in place by tightening thejam nut against the clamp, being careful not to movethe tip.

Do not set the adjustment at less than .10”. The .10”setting allows slippage in a jam situation anddamage can occur if this adjustment is set to narrow.

CAUTION SHOULD BE USED ASADJUSTING THE TIP WILL AFFECTTHE SLIP LOAD AND COULDDAMAGE THE CLAMP TIP, BELT ORTRAVERSE DRIVE SYSTEM.

POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS TRAVERSE DRIVE CONTROL (TDC)

Min. Speed--Factory set at full (CCW) 8:30. Do not change this setting.

(Right Traverse) Forward Torque--Factory set at full (CW) 4:30. Do not change this setting.(Left Traverse) Reverse Torque--Factory set at full (CW) 4:30. Do not change this setting.

IR COMP--Factory set to 9:00. IR COMP is current (I) resistance (R) compensation (COMP).IR COMP adjusts the output voltage of the drive which balances load to motor RPM. Regulation of a traversemotor may be improved by slight adjustment of the IR COMP trim pot clockwise from its factory-set position.Overcompensation causes the motor to oscillate or to increase speed when fully loaded. If you reach such apoint, turn the IR COMP trim pot counterclockwise until the symptoms disappear.

Max. Speed--Set at 3:30 for maximum voltage of 90 Volts DC to the traverse motor. When voltage is above 90volts DC, the traverse motor will start to pulsate and not run smoothly.

(Right Traverse) Forward Acceleration--Factory set at full (CCW) 8:30. Do not change this setting.(Left Traverse) Reverse Acceleration--Factory set at full (CCW) 8:30. Do not change this setting.

(DB) Dead Band is the potentiometer setting for the 50 or 60 Hz cycle control. Factory set to 9:00, works forboth 50 and 60 Hz. Do not change this setting.

Calibrating the DWELL TIME rotary DIP switch adjusts the amount of time the process remains in the stopposition after a limit switch is actuated. The DWELL TIME range is adjustable from 0 - 4 seconds. A DIPswitch setting of 0 sets the DWELL TIME to 0 seconds, while a setting of 8 sets the DWELL TIME to 4seconds. Dwell time is preset to #2 setting for a 1 second dwell time when reversing at each end of stroke.

Diagnostic LED's indicate the function that is currently being performed:

* POWER indicates that ac power is being applied to the control.* FORWARD indicates that the process is running in the forward direction (traversing left).* REVERSE indicates that the process is running in the reverse direction (traversing right).* PROX 1 FWD LIMIT lights when the forward limit switch is actuated (left prox).* PROX 2 REV LIMIT lights when the reverse limit switch is actuated (right prox).* DWELL lights when the process remains stopped after a proximity switch is actuated.

Grinding head is traversing toofast.

A--Coolant not directed ontothe bedknife and grindingwheel.

B--Too heavy stock removalduring grinding.

C--Grinding wheel is glazing.

--POSSIBLE CAUSE-- --REASON----PROBLEM--

Top face ofbedknife isground in aconvex shape(high in thecenter) orconcave shape(low in thecenter)

The top face ofthe bedknife isground unevenlyacross the width.

Too coarsea grind onbedknife.

The top face ofthe bedknifeshows burnmarks from beingtoo hot.

A loaded wheel createsundue pressure on thesurface being ground. Bothends of bedknife movebecause of this pressure,allowing bedknife to rock onthe middle support.

For precise grinding, spark-ing-out process is critical. Iteliminates excessive final-grinding pressure on centersand middle support, whichhelps maintain grindingstraightness.

Looseness in roller causeserratic grind.

When the rim doesn't extendover the top face, it wearsunevenly and causesgrooves across the bedknife.

Looseness in rollers causeserratic grind.

Backlash allows grindingwheel to move under load.

Traversing speed controlsthe grinding surface texture.A slower traverse producesgrind marks closer together.

When the front face of thebedknife gets too hot, thesteel loses its temper(softens).

Too much stock removal inone pass creates too muchheat and softens the steel.

Wheel will glaze if notdressed often enough. Also,as a generalrule, use a higher traversespeed for the heavy grind.

Dress the wheel prescribed inthe Operators Manual.

Follow the procedures in theOperators Manual. On the finalpass, infeed only about .001"[.025 mm]. Let the wheelspark out for 10-20 passes atabout slow speed, with noadditional infeed.

Adjust Vee Rollers perprocedure on Page 34.

The wheel rim must extend overthe bedknife top face by 1/2"[13 mm] whenever possible.See Operators Manual. If notpossible, dress the wheel moreoften.

Adjust Vee rollers perprocedure on Page 34.

Eliminate backlash in infeedhandwheel, see Page 31.

Slow down the traversingspeed.

Direct coolant into the grindingwheel, at the point of the grind.See Operators Manual.

Take off about .002 to .003"[.05 to .075mm] per passduring rough grind. SeeOperators Manual.

Adjust traverse belt tension.See adjustments section of thismanual.

Grinding wheel isglazing tooquickly.

Grinding motorvibratesexcessively.

Carriagetraversing variesspeed whilegrinding

Wheel will glaze if notdressed often enough.If grinding wheel is notextended 1/2" [12 mm]over bedknife, it willglaze more quicklybecause there is lessdressing.

Too light a grinding cutdoesn't permit enoughdressing action on thewheel, so it glazes.

Too slow a traversespeed can causeexcessive heat buildupin the grinding wheel,which glazesthe wheel.

A grinding wheelwhich isn't properlytrued up on outside orinside diameters canvibrate excessivelyand transfer thatvibration to the motor.

When bearing preloadis too tight, it causesexxcessive loading todrive carriage.

Grinding grit is gettinginto the linear bearingsand causing excessivedriving torque of thecarriage.

If the traverse beltclamp is damaged ornot adjusted properlythe belt will slip.

If the belt is too loose itwill tend to vibrate orthe belt tensioningsprings may tend tojump when loaded.
