Slip Roll, Sheet Metal
Oil slip roll rollers
Safety:
Ensure the machine is turned off and unplugged before oiling the rollers.
Oil the rollers
Apply several drops of 3-in-1 oil (located in the maintenance cart) to the three large rollers of the slip roll. Most of the oil ports will be small holes towards the ends of either sides of the rollers - they'll be on parts of the roller that do not actively rotate when the machine is in operation:
- One oil port located on the left side of the top drive roller, plus the movable bushing on the right hand side (the one that you pull out to allow removal of fully concentric projects, see picture below)
- Two oil ports on either side of the bottom drive roller - you can lift the top roller out via the removable bushing on the right side.
- Two oil ports on either side of the idler roller on the back of the machine
In case of excessive friction
If the rollers aren't rolling freely after applying the 3-in-1 oil, use a spray can of WD-40 on the oil ports and work the rollers back and forth (side-to-side as well as rotating around) to dislodge any gunk.
