DOMAILLE ENGINEERING APM 5200 Optical Fiber Polishing Machine

Welcome

Congratulations on selecting the APM HDC-5200, the premier fiber optic connector polishing machine.

This User’s Guide will assist you in the set up, operation, and maintenance of the APM HDC-5200 machine to maximize the use and life of this equipment.

Overview

The APM HDC-5200 is designed to address the need to efficiently polish a large volume of connectors while maintaining a consistent high level of quality.
The APM HDC-5200 allows you to program your processes through an easy-to-use touch-screen panel. The panel displays your programmed settings for speed, time, pressure, polishing film used, lubricant type and pad durometer. In addition, the user can program specific ramp-up speed and pressure setting, set maintenance intervals and program polishing film counters. Operators need minimal training to follow the touch-screen prompts of your programmed processes.

The number of processes that can be defined and stored within the HDC-5200 machine is only limited by the amount of internal memory. This means hundreds of processes can be stored on a single machine. Additionally, the HDC-5200 provides you with total flexibility in the number of steps you define within each of your polishing processes
The APM HDC-5200 provides the capability to store your processes in machine memory as well as on a USB storage device. A USB storage device can be used to backup your defined processes and to copy processes from one machine to another. This not only saves process setup time for each machine, but also ensures consistent process settings.

Daily or More Often as Required

Polishing Fixtures
Although polishing fixtures manufactured by Domaille Engineering are made of stainless steel, all traces of water and slurry should be removed after each step in the polishing process. This will ensure that the next step in the process is not contaminated by elements in the previous process.

Polishing Machine

1. Clean top of Platen, Overarm top plate, Overarm rest pad and bottom of Overarm. The accuracy of this machine is dependent on keeping these areas clean.
2. Clean all residue, water and slurry from top of entire machine and from touch screen panel cover. Do not contaminate touch screen area.

WARNING: Do not use an air hose on or around the Platen. This forces water and contaminates into the wear surfaces and mechanical drive unit, potentially causing machine failure. Damage caused by air hose use is not covered under warranty.

Monthly
Disconnect the polishing machine from the power source before doing any maintenance work.

Polishing Machine Fan Filter
Inspect Fan Filter on back of machine. Vacuum to clean or remove and clean with compressed air.

Polishing Machine Platen
The Platen should be removed and greased at least once a month. If the machine is heavily used, more frequent greasing is required.

To maintain Platen:

1. The platen can be removed by placing your fingers around the underside of the Platen. Gently break the seal between the Platen and the machine. Pull straight up.
   Do not use any tools (pry bars, screwdrivers, etc.) to remove Platen as the Platen and plastic wear ring under the Platen may be damaged.

2. Clean all of the old grease and contaminants from the bottom of the Platen and from the plastic wear ring. Clean both Platen and wear ring with alcohol and a clean, lint-free tissue or cloth to remove any trace of grease.
   Do not grease the Platen bearings. They are pre-lubricated and sealed; therefore, lubrication is not required.

3. Wipe any grit off the o-rings and apply a drop of light oil on each o-ring. This helps protect and lubricate the o-rings, making it easier to replace the Platen.

4. Fill holes in wear ring with grease. Put a small bead of grease on wear ring between holes. Use Platen Grease supplied with APM-HDC-5200 machine or call Domaille Engineering at 507-281-0275 to order more.

5. Reinstall Platen by lining up the eccentric arms to point in the same direction as shown below. By moving to eye level with the Platen area of machine, place Platen on top of pins in eccentric arms.

6. Line up pins with holes in bearings in bottom of Platen. When pins are lined up, Platen will slide on pins about ½ way. Push straight down to seat Platen on wear ring. Verify that Platen is level before turning on machine. When fitted properly, no light will be visible between the Platen and wear ring.

Polishing Machine Overarm Lock Pins

Lock pins are located on either side of the Overarm near the support bracket.
These pins lock the Overarm in one of three positions, vertical, horizontal, or at 45-degrees.

Using light machine oil, lubricate lock pins on both sides of the Overarm,placing a drop in each slot as shown below.
