Air setup, layout and skimmer.
Hey guys,
This is a 3 question post. I'm building little shop here and doing different layouts.
1) In a goal to keep water out of the lines (3/4" pipe blue halo on top of the walls), I'm thinking about putting a air/water separator at each outlet just as extra per-caution. Is this over kill? I know the machines have their own water separator but it's a last resort type thing. The dyer is right after the pump of course, just outside the room where I've built it's own room.
2) Shop layout I'm leaning toward picture 1 or 3. Picture 1 allows me to use a modified engine hoist to install the 4th axis in the side window or through the front. Shop size is 30x18. Red boxes are tool boxes. Still need to put my desk, rack for material (whats about to be used), and work bench.
3) For a machine such as VF2SSYT, is there a real point in using a skimmer with a grease lube type machine? Looking at the Nexjen, for the most part only oil getting in to the system is from the spindle lube or MQL, right?
