Central lubrication

All machines with four or more knitting systems are equipped with a central lubrication as a standard equipment (not for CMS 822). If a central lubrication is mounted on the knitting machine you can switch it on and off.

Central lubrication disabled

The monitoring of the lubrication interval is automatically activated and you must perform the following lubrication tasks manually:

Needle bed

System Run-throughs Until Lubricating Process

Displays the quantity of the system run-throughs until the next oiling of the needle bed.

Confirm Oiling the Needle Bed

Tap on this button only if the oiling process actually was performed.

Confirm Greasing the Needle Bed

Click this button only if the greasing process actually was performed.

I. Activate the central lubrication:

With Restart and Configuration the central lubrication is selected as option.

  1. You are signed in as Senior Operator .
    1
    In the main navigation bar select Configure Machine.
    2
    Tap on Maintenance in the bottom navigation bar.
    3

Three settings are available for the lubrication interval:

Initial lubrication:
This setting is used for the initial lubrication of a new machine at the Stoll factory. The values cannot be modified.
(Caution: risk of soiling the fabric)
Select this setting for approx. 15 minutes after a gauge conversion or with a machine, which has been out of operation for a longer period of time.

STOLL inputs:
This setting can be used for production. The values cannot be modified.

User settings:
With this setting, the values can be changed by the user.
(Caution: An improper setting could lead to insufficient oiling. Ensure that the central lubrication applies sufficient oil to the needle bed.)

Input of the desired value (system run-throughs) for the lubrication interval for
Lubricate Knitting Area After

4

Input of the desired value (number of lubrication procedures) for the lubrication interval Lubricate Whole Needle Bed After

5

Number of system run-throughs since the last lubrication process.

 

    4
    Activate the central lubrication with the Central lubrication button.
    5
    Make further desired settings for the lubrication interval of the central lubrication.

II. Oil the thread clamping and cutting device on the right

Machines which have central lubrication must have their thread clamping and cutting device on the right-hand side oiled manually. For mechanical reasons, the central lubrication does not reach all eight clamping positions.

    1
    Use a brush to apply oil to all working butts of the clamping points.
