We're cleaning/replacing at least one lube line/jet because we discovered one x rail dry as a bone. Is there a way to force the pump to run from the control? The pump itself doesn't have anything on it I can press to make it run.
Seems like a good way to check for flow. Im trying to avoid power cycling the machine 50 times.
Anyone know?
I pulled the line inside the turret casting on the low side of the rear x rail and we cycled the control. The pump ran and the tiniest bit of oil came out of that fitting (copper tube) We're going to pull the line off at the other end where it connects to the manifold and see what we see.
Anyone done this before?
Best place to get fittings if my ultrasonic doesn't unclog them? I see Lube-usa.com is a source but I'm not sure how to equate the fittings I've got to their part numbers. I haven't looked in my mazak parts book yet so I'm not sure if the jets are numbered there or not. It's hit or miss in the book.
Thanks. . .
