I am sure the Kluber engineer is well versed in a breadth of applications using their lubricants....
I have posted on several occasions about using relatively small amounts of grease in these spindles....
My information came to me directly from a German field service engineer who showed me the technique in person at my shop.
When my FP4NC was purchased (used) directly from the factory, it came with instillation and warranty.
The horizontal spindle was noisy and it was overhauled at my shop as part of the warranty...Service tech .Volker Spitz who had done his apprenticeship
at the factory was working here in the US at the time of my machine purchase and did the machine install..........
That FP4NC by the way is still in service in my care since 93' and runs pretty much every day...its run long programs (80,000 blocks+) lights out overnight (10-20 hours continuous)
at full chat (3150 RPM) Never a problem with either spindle...runs warm at full speed of course (130*f or so).....
Might be due for a refresh on the spindle lube by now....And i will be repeating the technique shown to me by Herr Spitz....hard to argue with results.
Cheers Ross
