What filter/regulator for Bridgeport CNC mill
Just trying to finish the cleanup/repairs/EMC conversion.
The mill uses air for the following: 1) Brake Air Line A 2) Pneumatic speed changing motor Air Line A 3) Knee support to ease raising the knee Air Line B 4) Mist coolant unit Air Line C What I want to do is, mount nicely a filter/regulator and an air manifold next to it, and connect all three lines (A,B,C) to the manifold in a workmanlike manner. The manual specifies incoming air pressure to be 80 PSI, but is silent about CFM requirements (and the mister was not even a part of the package). I have a small, cute little I-R filter/regulator/lubricator unit (very small in size), but it is only good to 18 CFM. See first column in the table on the first page of http://igor.chudov.com/manuals/Inger...ubricators.pdf My question is, would that be sufficient to run the mill in real life or not. I would hate to buy a new regulator, if it can be avoided. Thanks i |
