CHANGING THE TOOL

CAUTION
Do not tighten the collet without inserting a tool or dummy bur, as this will damage the collet, spindle or collet nut, causing difficulty removing the collet.

1. Set the provided 8mm wrench on the spindle.

2. Place the provided 11mm wrench on the collet nut and turn it counterclockwise to loosen the collet and remove the tool.
   (The first turn will loosen the collet nut, but the tool will not release and turning will become stiff. Keep turning through the stiffness and the collet will open.)

3. Clean the collet and collet nut, then insert the new tool and tighten the collet by turning clockwise. Do not over tighten.

REPLACING THE COLLET

CAUTION
When installing the collet in the collet nut, make sure to fully engage the latch inside the collet nut to the groove on the collet outer circumference area. In addition, remember that if the collet is attached without being engaged with the latch of the collet nut, the collet cannot be removed and this may cause damage to the collet or the spindle.

1. Remove the tool according to the section 7. “CHANGING THE TOOL” procedure above and remove collet nut assembly (Fig. 16).
2. The collet and collet nut are secured by a groove in the collet and a flange in the collet nut. To remove the collet hold the collet nut in one hand and push diagonally down on the collet. The collet should be released (Fig. 17).
3. To install the collet, hold the collet at a slight angle, and insert it into the collet nut (Fig. 18).
   Press the collet in the collet nut by positioning the collet in the collet nut and pressing down on flat surface (Fig. 17).
   Be sure to fully engage the latch inside the collet nut into the groove on the collet outer circumference area (Fig. 19).

INSTALLATION OF THE MOTOR SPINDLE

WARNING
When installing a motor spindle to a fixed base, make sure the fixed base is grounded in order to avoid the risk of an electric shock.
CAUTION
When installing a motor spindle, do not hit, drop or cause shock to the spindle. This may cause damage to internal components and result in malfunctions.
10 – 1 Mounting a straight type motor spindle
The following instructions are for the spindles listed below only:
(BM-319 / BMJ-319 / BM-320 / BMJ-320 / BM-322 / BMJ-322)
CAUTION

• When mounting the motor spindle, be sure to mounting within clamping area etched on the spindle. If the motor spindle is installed incorrectly, this will cause and damage to the motor spindle.
• Cautions when tightening the securing bolt of the Split Type Holder.
  Do not over tighten the bolt. This may cause damage to motor spindle’s precision. Tighten the bolt until the spindle body can not be turned by hand within the fixture. Extreme tightening is not necessary or recommended.
  Apply working force and check that the motor spindle is tight before using.

1. When mounting a motor spindle, refer to the Clamping Area etched on the motor spindle. (Fig. 29, 30)

2. When installing a motor spindle to the holder, recommended installation method is shown Fig 31. Refer to ”
   How to fabricate the Split Type Holder “. If this is not possible, install as shown in Fig. 32 using the Controllers X10mA function to avoid crushing the motor spindle. CAUTION Do not allow set screws to come directly in contact with the spindle body as shown in Fig. 33, as this will result in damage to the spindle housing and internal components. When installing, never clamp directly over the bearings, as this will result in bearing damage (Refer to Fig. 34).

3. How to fabricate the Split Type Holder
   (1) Roughly process (carve) the inside diameter of the Split Type Holder.
   (2) Cut a slit. (Ex. Slit 2mm)
   (3) Twist the Screw for Removal and Broaden the Slit Area.
   (4) Insert spacer (ex t = 2mm) into the Slit Area.
   (5) Loosen the Screw for Removal, and tighten the Fastening Bolt with the specified torque.
   (6) Finish machining the Split Type Holder so that the inside diameter of the Split Type Holder is motor spindle’s outside diameter depending on the i-Speed3 motor / spindle model (Refer to Table 2).
   The correct tolerance range for the holder is -0.01mm to -0.015mm and a roundness and cylindricity of less than 5μm.
   (7) When inserting the motor spindle loosen the Fastening Bolt and twist the Screw for Removal, and broaden the Slit Area. Table 3.**** Model| BM-319 / BMJ-319| BM- 320 / BMJ- 320| BM-322 / BMJ- 322

CAUTION
The final responsibility for ensuring holder’s safety for use in a given application is left to the designer of the equipment in which NAKANISHI’s motor spindle is installed.
NAKANISHI offers spindles with a wide variety of capabilities and specifications.
Please carefully check the motor spindle’s specifications against the requirements of your equipment and verify suitability and safety of the Holder prior to initial use.

4. Motor current display and adjusting the clamping pressure
   (1) Motor current display
   The Control Unit has a function that displays load on the motor spindle in current (x10mA). (Refer to Front face details ⑩ of the iSpeed3 CONTROLLER Operation Manual). This display allows you to confirm the load / clamping level when fixing the Motor Spindle in fixtures.
   (2) Clamping the Motor Spindle
   Adjust the clamping pressure level using the motor current display. Run the motor spindle at any speed and note the current level while the motor spindle is not secured in any manner. Insert the motor spindle into the fixture and carefully and slowly tighten.
   The Clamped Current Display should never be more than +1 (+10mA) of the current load reading before clamping. This is a very important step when installing the iSpeed3 Motor Spindle.

10 – 2 Fixturing a flange type motor spindle
The following instructions are for the spindles listed below only:
(BM-319F / BM-319FC / BM-320F / BM-322FR / BM-322FL / BM-322FS / BMF-319)
CAUTION
If the motor spindle housing diameter section is inserted and tightened using bolts and a solid sleeve or a split holder arrangement, the main body will be geometrically deformed and assembly accuracy will be compromised.
Problems such as rotation failure and heat generation may result.
A Flange Type motor spindle can be installed with a flange, without fastening a sleeve over the housing diameter section. This is designed to eliminate deformation / damage of the motor spindle when performing the installation.

1. Insert the flange type motor spindle housing diameter area into the fixed base holder of the machine.

2. Secure the motor spindle through the counter-sunk holes on the flange using bolts as shown in Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10 and Fig. 11.
   Refer to table 4 and Fig. 36 (For BM-319F / BM-319FC / BM- 320F / BM-322FR / BM-322FL / BM-322FS).

3. Secure the motor spindle through the counter-sunk holes (2 locations : Ⓐ and Ⓓ / Ⓑ and Ⓒ ) on the flange using bolts as shown in Fig. 14. Refer to table 4 and Fig. 37 (For BMF-319).

Table 4.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

During transportation, storage or installation the grease inside the bearings will settle. If the spindle is suddenly run at high-speed excessive heat will cause bearing damage. After installation, repair, initial operation, or long periods of non operation please follow the break-in procedure detailed in Table 5.
Table 5.

break-in process should not exceed 20 degrees C (36 degrees F) above ambient temperature. Should the motor spindle exceed this limit, rest the motor spindle for at least 20 minutes and re-start the break in procedure from the beginning. If the housing temperature rises again and exceeds 20 degrees C (36 degrees F) above ambient temperature, check the motor spindle for proper installation.| The spindle housing temperature during the break-in process should not exceed 20 degrees C (36 degrees F) above ambient temperature.

CAUTIONS WHEN USING GRINDSTONES AND CUTTING TOOLS

CAUTION
The maximum surface speed or rpm is always specified for a grindstone. Do not exceed the maximum speed with reference to the calculating chart below. Always follow the grindstone manufacturers’ recommendations.

1. The proper surface speed for general grindstones is 10-30m / s.
2. Do not exceed 13mm of overhang for mounted grindstones as shown in Fig. 40. If the overhang must exceed 13mm, reduce the motor speed in accordance with table 6.
3. Dress the grindstone prior to use.
4. Do not use cutting tools with bent or broken shanks, cracks or excessive run-out.
5. For grinding, the maximum depth of cut should not exceed 0.01mm radially or axially. Reciprocate the tool several times after each pass to eliminate tool pressure.
6. Always operate tools within the allowable recommended speed of the tools. Use of a tool outside of the allowable speed of the tools could cause damage to the spindle and injury to the operator.
7. Keep the tool shank and collet clean. If contaminants are left in the collet or collet nut, excessive run-out will cause damage to the tool and or spindle.
8. Do not strike or disassemble the motor spindle.
9. Please set the tools to minimize the overhang amount. 13mm is the maximum amount of overhang to maintain high accuracy and safety.
