A month or so ago I noticed the cooling line to the spindle was severed on our 3016. I replaced it and added fluid and fired the machine back up to find the fluid level dropping fast. Come to find out the lines going in and out by the X servo motor have been cut. So now I think someone did it to the spindle also intentionally.
So the question. Why would someone do this? I am surprised nothing has went wrong. I don't know if a random maintenance guy would do that, or if it has been like that since the machine was bought long before I worked here. Is there any reason it should be like this?
Also, where are the other lines going in and out at? I am assuming there is no reason you wouldn't want cooling...
