Hi, I've been working with the 350i pro plus for a while now, I was curious, in one of the water jet ducts there's what looks like a blue hose, what is it for?
I do disagree with quite a lot of information here. - First of all, you can use for Both removing and putting the "collet removal tool", just MAKE SURE you put a milling tool inside the collet by hand while you screw/unscrew it in order to avoid twisting/bending it. - I was told by both imes and other german distributors to USE my finger while putting lubricant on the collet. Also, lubricant is put on the collet, from the point of expansion in both directions. This is where the collet makes contact with the spindle, so this is where Lubricant is useful. From the middle-line of expansion halfway to the end in both direction. Do not put till the top of the collet, as in the video. Basically I would say NEVER put lubricant as shown on the video, because 1) it's TOOO much 2) the way the person puts it is very wrong because in this way, lubricant goes inside the gaps of the collet. This is something you WANT to avoid. If you have lubricant there, the machine might start "spitting" or dropping your drills/tools and holding them wrongly. I would advice to put in straight movements between each of the gaps to avoid lubricant going there. - When you screw the collet, screw it till the end, and then slightly unscrew it. It should not be left tight. It's quite shocking how different we do the collet maintenance. It's interesting whether your way is working for you. The way we deal it, that I explain above works for all the 30+ machines we install and take care of. It would be funny if both turn out to be fine :D P.S. The last thing shown on the video is basically a test for the collet. If you worry whether your collet got twisted/bend you can always use this method as a partial check. In case of crash, or if the tool positions in the tool-holder are not accurate, it is advisable to check more frequently by doing this test.
why you don't include the thousandth of mm per example 0.458 mm. this might be more accurate ? and, I thought that it has to be at least at 0.001mm, Am I right ?
The video is based on the original calibration instructions from manufacturer. The accuracy of the micrometer is 0.010 mm that is why it doesn't not make any sense trying to reach lower deviance values. If you poses a measuring tool with 0.001mm accuracy and suitable probes to measure the walls of calibration bodies then yes, you probably will get better results.
questions, 1) is the final tolerance on both Y and Z, less than .010 mm for 650i too, right ? 2) What is happens when the values are (-) negatives . p.e -0.009 mm ? what is that means ?
@@joseechevery2415 disregard the sign here. You need to know absolute value of calculated deviance. The calculator app uses '+' or '-' for calculation of new zero point value. Calibration works the same way for 650 as well.
