(3) Disconnect the tubes from the pump outlet and inlet. Then,
disconnect the heavy-duty power cables from the terminal block
on the side of the pump.
(4) Remove the bolts securing the exhaust pump unit, then remove
the pump unit. Remove the bolts securing the pump to the
mounting plate, then remove the pump.
(5) Position the new exhaust pump on the mounting plate, then
secure the pump unit by reversing steps (2) to (4). The new
pump may not be fitted with gas and water joints. Remove an
older pump first, then install a new pump as originally installed.
Ensure that the terminal block is wired correctly. Incorrect
wiring may cause the pump rotation to be reversed, causing the
pump oil flow to be reversed. Connect the cables, noting the
alignment marks.
(6) Pumps are shipped without lubricating oil. Fill the pump with
Matsumura Oil SA-H. Operating the pump without lubricating
oil will cause the thermal switch to trip, and will ultimately
damage the pump.
(7) Close the main circuit breaker, turn on the power to the oscillator,
then turn on the power to the CNC. Then, perform a laser
oscillator leakage test and check the operation of the exhaust
pump. When the power is first turned on, check that gas is output
from the gas outlet of the oscillator. The pump starts after gas
has been discharged from the external pipes for a few seconds.
Gas being drawn into the oscillator, or abnormal noise, indicates
that the pump rotation is reversed. In such a case, check the
wiring of the terminal block.
