Hello all,
I have bought a used Deckel FP2A cnc machine with Contour 3 computer and it is in very good condition.
It arrived without any documentation or user manuals, so i am looking through forums to find information about maintenance and other things.
Recently i noticed that the oil indication window on the side of Y axis had no oil in it.
So i searched the forums for instructions and found some promising info.
I move the Y axis to the front, removed the covers and put in the oil.
I checked the oil level so it was with the line.
After 3 minutes of running the spindle, the oil level raised to max and beyond.
At the time i didn't think this would cause any problems, but after a week of working, there was a grey grease coming out of the horizontal spindle.
How can i lubricate the spindle bearings with grease?
Should i remove the milling head?
Also, does anyone have any original maintenance instructions for Deckel FP2A or Contour 3 computer?
What kind of oils should i use? How many times should i check the oil levels? What type of oil for guides and the spindle??
I want to send milling programs to Contour 3 computer. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thank you all in advanced,
Kris
