Central Lubrication

Starting from 06/2023, the CMS machines are equipped with a central lubrication as a standard equipment (not with CMS 703, CMS 503, CMS 502, CMS 303, CMS 202).

The central lubrication lubricates with oil the working butts of all needle bed elements including the selection jack:
Holding-down jack, coupling part, intermediate slider (2 working butts), and selection jack (2 working butts).

The oil pump can be found either on the left or on the right machine side depending on the machine type.

Notes:

  1. Adjust central lubrication
    Path: Configure Machine -> Maintenance -> Lubricating
    -> Central Lubrication
  2. Refill oil
    If the content level is undershot then the Central lubrication oil reservoir almost empty message appears.
    Refill oil until the "Max" mark has been reached.
  3. We recommend to oil the butts of the coupling parts and intermediate sliders even when the machine is equipped with central lubrication.
