Here’s a little story; Back many years ago I use too work in a shop where to owner was somewhat of a tyrant. He demanded production. So we had no choice but to push his Fadal’s hard. The consequences were every six months we were tightening up servo couplings. But I’ve really haven’t seen this happen outside of his shop. Most people don’t push their mills this hard. But with that being said I guess over time with an older machine that’s seen a lot of hours something like this would probably happen. And it would be just a good idea just to check all couplings anyway. Great maintenance tip Mr. Moderator! |
