Safety
Operator safety is of the utmost importance. To ensure the highest level of
safety, anyone operating the equipment must be thoroughly trained in its
operation and safety features. Special notations and symbols are used in this
manual to help you identify and understand potential hazards:
|
General Danger — A risk of injury to personnel if
instructions are not followed. |
|
General Mandatory Action — A particularly important point or
a risk of damage to equipment if instructions are not followed. |
Protective Covers
When using the equipment with all covers in place, the operator is protected
from any contact with electrical contacts and wiring. All moving parts, where
possible, are completely enclosed.
|
Never perform any maintenance or adjustments without disconnecting
the equipment from utility power. The operator should never attempt to
service the equipment. The equipment should NEVER be operated with the
door or covers open or removed. Always wear eye protection when
operating or servicing equipment. |
Chemical Hazards
All chemical products pose certain hazards including, but not limited to,
toxicity and flammability. Data should be obtained regarding the dangers, or
lack thereof, for any chemical product used in your workplace.
Material safety data sheets (MSDS) are available for all products
manufactured or distributed in the United States. Upon request, Optek will
supply copies of these for each product that we distribute. They may also be
obtained by applying directly to the manufacturers. Copies of these, or similar,
data sheets must be kept with this manual at all times. Further information
regarding the safe handling of chemical products, especially as regards to local
regulations, may be available from the responsible regulatory agency in your
country.
|
All employees who will work with or around any lubricant, slurry,
cleaning supply, or other chemical product must be required to read the
applicable safety data sheets and receive appropriate safety training.
This must be done before they are exposed to the chemical product. |
|
If your equipment dispenses alloy, you must observe special precautions.
Regulatory agencies have designated alloy blocking material as a
toxic substance. Use and disposal of alloy blocking material and other items
or substances that have come into contact with alloy blocking material are
subject to various regulations that may vary from area to area. Always consult
and comply with all applicable regulations, guidelines and laws.
IF ANY INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CONFLICT WITH APPLICABLE REGULATIONS,
GUIDELINES OR LAWS REGULATING THE USE AND DISPOSAL OF ALLOY IN YOUR AREA,
ALWAYS DEFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE REGULATING AUTHORITY. |
Moving Parts and Vibration
Some equipment may have moving parts that are exposed to the operator, and
some equipment may produce vibration during operation. It is important to avoid
any contact with a machine during operation. Exposed moving parts may cause
injury, and prolonged exposure to certain vibrations has been shown to cause
health problems.
|
Do not lean or rest any part of your body on or against machinery
while it is running. Do not wear a necktie, loose clothing, or dangling
jewelry while operating equipment. Long hair must be kept securely
fastened out of the way. |
General Precautions
When working with liquids such as water, coolant, or slurry, spills are
likely. It is recommended that high-quality non-slip floor mats be used in the
working area. Operators may attend several machines simultaneously, moving
quickly among machines. Mats, therefore, must be laid out or interlocked so that
there is little or no danger of slipping or tripping.
Never attempt to move heavy equipment or containers by yourself. See your
service supervisor if a heavy item needs to be repositioned for any reason.
Never hesitate to ask for help.
Some equipment emits noise during operation. The acoustics of your lab and
the simultaneous running of machines may cause the ambient noise level to exceed
the legal maximum. Hearing protectors may be advisable or required for all shop
employees.
|
Always wear any support or protective equipment recommended by your
doctor or supplied by your employer. |

Measuring the Orbit Diameter
- Unplug the Criterion MAX from utility power.
- Clamp the block onto the tool table.
- Color the top of the block with the marking pen or lightly coat it with grease.
- Open the cabinet door and locate the drive sheave on the bottom of the drive unit.
If you are using the bottom half of the axis alignment block, add 2 mm to the measurement in step 7 to get the actual orbit. |
- Push the clamp arm down by hand until the tip of one of the axis pins is touching the top of the block.
- Hold the axis pin against the block while manually rotating the drive sheave. Continue to rotate the sheave until the tip of the axis pin scribes one complete circle.
- Measure the scribed circle diameter with the metric ruler.
- If the orbit diameter is not correct according to the chart, adjust as follows:
Changing the Orbit Diameter
| Read the entire section, Changing the Orbit Diameter, prior to completing steps 1 - 6. |
---|
- Unplug the Criterion MAX from utility power.
- Locate the two #10-32 setscrews (4000-130) in the lower rim of the drive sheave on the bottom of the drive unit (4250-004).
| Loosening the setscrew near the "+" marking on the bearing plate (older plates have two tapped holes) will increase the orbit diameter. Loosening the other setscrew will decrease the orbit. |
---|
- Use the 3/32" hex key to loosen the appropriate setscrew, one full turn is 1.6 mm of change in orbit diameter.
- Use the 3/16" hex key to loosen, but not remove, the three screws (4000-124) holding the bearing housing (4000-020) to the sheave.
- Tighten the setscrew opposite the one loosened in step 2 until the bearing housing is in contact with both setscrews. This will slide the bearing housing in the appropriate direction.
- Retighten the three screws loosened in step 3.
- Follow the instructions in the previous section to recheck the orbit diameter. If orbit is still not correct, repeat steps 1-6 unit correct orbit is achieved.
The traverse stroke is set independently for each drive unit on your Criterion MAX. When you check or adjust the traverse stroke for one drive unit, you should do so for the other drive unit as well. The Traverse stroke is adjusted until it is centered over the spindle centerline.

---|
- Unplug the Criterion MAX from utility power.
- Label the left and front (toward operator) sides of the block while on the tool table.
- Remove the block and measure the distance between the edge of the pattern and the edge of the block on the left and right sides.
- If these measurements are the same, proceed to step 23.
Side to Side Adjustment
- Unlatch and open the hood.
- Use the 1/2" open-end wrench to loosen the lock nut (4000-181) against the rod end (4000-179) connected to the traverse (4000-018).
- Use the 1/2" open-end wrench to remove the bolt (8000-355) securing the rod end to the bottom of the traverse.
Example: if the left spindle measurements are 2 mm on the left side of the block and 6 mm right side, the rod end needs two full turns clockwise. This will yield a 4 mm measurement on each side. |
- Screw the rod end in (clockwise) to move the traverse stroke toward the centerline of the Criterion MAX. Screw the rod end out (counterclockwise) to move the traverse stroke away from the centerline of the Criterion MAX. One full turn on the rod end will add 1 mm to one side and subtract 1 mm from the opposite side.
- Use the 1/2" open-end wrench to install the bolt securing the rod end to the bottom of the traverse.
- Use the 1/2" open-end wrench to tighten the lock nut against the rod end connected to the traverse.
| Make sure that the flat faces of the rod end pairs remain parallel to each other. This will prevent the rod ends from binding when the clamp arms are in the fully up and down positions. |
---|
- Close and latch the hood.
If you are using the axis alignment block, the rear measurement should be 1.5 mm less than the front measurement. |
Front to Back Adjustment
- Measure the distance between the edge of the pattern and the edge of the block on the front (toward operator) and rear sides.
- If these measurements are the same, skip steps 25-27.
- Use the 5/32" hex key to loosen the setscrew (4000-158) on the bottom of the clamp arm (4000-108).

This chapter identifies some of the major repairs that may become necessary after long-term service. The various sections will help you become acquainted with the general indications and guide you through the steps necessary to perform each repair. Careful attention to regular maintenance as instructed in previous chapters can have a dramatic effect on reducing the frequency and cost of major repairs.
Basic Tools
Each of these repairs will require basic mechanic's tools that should be purchased locally. All screws and bolts used in the Criterion MAX are inch (English/SAE) measurement system.
The tools needed will include:
- Screwdrivers of various sizes, both flat-bladed and Phillips
- A set of open-end wrenches
- A set of hex keys
- A socket driver and a set of sockets
Main Units
Major components, such as drive units, cannot be successfully rebuilt in the field. The reason for this is simple: The major components of your Criterion MAX are manufactured to extremely tight tolerances. This is one of the key features that allows Optek surfacers to provide the years of reliability and performance you have come to expect. Achieving this degree of precision, whether in the original manufacturing process or during a rebuild, requires expensive, specialized equipment.
Traverse Assembly Replacement
Symptoms of a failing traverse assembly typically present themselves as optical problems in your lenses. To determine if a traverse assembly needs to be replaced, lift the clamp arm as high as it will go. Holding the clamp arm in this position, attempt to wiggle it side-to-side. If you notice any play, the traverse assembly should be replaced.
Items Needed
- Anti-seize compound
- Clamp arm puller (4000-402)
- Traverse assembly (4000-018)
