3. Application
Neutrix is manufactured to offer the following options:
!Grinding of oxidated or pure tungsten electrodes.
!Grinding electrodes with diameters from 1,0 – 4,0 mm.
!Variable angle adjustment from 15° to 180°.
!If it is necessary to grind electrodes shorter in length than 15mm–
a special electrode clamp can be supplied.
!Integrated filter to remove the grinding dust.
!To be able to grind tungsten electrodes on site.
!To achieve an exact and longitudinal ground tip.

5. Before use
Note: Ensure that the grinding head (2) is centred and tightly fixed
with the allen screw (15) to the motor.
5.1 How to select grinding position
With the Neutrix it is possible to select 3 different grinding positions
!Unscrew the knurled wheel (22)
!Lift the eccentric plate (20) and turn through 90° to the next position,
place the eccentric plate back in the slide of the angle adjustment.
!Tighten the knurled wheel (22)

5.2 Selection of electrode diameter
There are 3 different electrode clamps (1.6, 2.4, 3.2 mm) supplied with the
machine.
Unscrew the electrode clamp from the electrode holder and replace with the
required size.
5.3 Selection of angle
!Loosen slightly the knurled wheel (22).
!Place the degree sign of the guide (20) at the selected angle.
!Tighten the knurled screw (22).
Note: 15° is the smallest included angle of the electrode, that can be
ground.
180° position makes a flat on the electrode point.
(1 step = 5°)
6. Using the Neutrix
!Connect the machine to the power supply.
!Adjust the machine speed according to the recommendations on page 8.
!Select the electrode clamp to suit the tungsten to be ground.
6.1 How to operate Neutrix
!Place the tungsten electrode in the electrode holder (5) with
approximately 35 mm protruding.
!Push the electrode clamp into the depth setting gauge (12) until the clamp
is located into the allen screw (15), turn clockwise to tighten.
!Put the electrode holder through the electrode holder guide (6) until the
tungsten is touching the diamond wheel, this operation can be observed
through the inspection cover (29).
!Start the motor (11).

Page 9
6.2 How to grind the electrode
!Turn the electrode holder, whilst pushing the electrode against the
diamond wheel. Do not push too hard in order to avoid blueing of the
electrode. This can be viewed through the inspection cover
!The grinding is completed when the stop of the electrode holder (14)
touches the end face of the electrode holder guide (6).
!Switch off the motor and remove the electrode holder when the motor has
come to a complete stop.
!Place the electrode holder in the depth setting gauge. Turn anti clockwise
and the electrode can be removed.
Recommended turning speed
Diam. of the electrode 1.0 mm 1.6 mm 2.0 mm 2.4 mm 3.2 mm 4.0 mm
Speedadjustment 665544
Note: Do not press too hard at the electrode holder before the stop (14)
has been reached.
Remember to put the electrode holder into the grinding chamber
before you start the machine and to keep it there until the motor
has stopped. (Otherwise grinding dust may come out of the
chamber).

7. Maintenance
Remove the plug from the power supply before carrying out any
maintenance or repairs.
7.1 Replacing the filter
The filter has to be changed when the amount of dust makes it difficult to
watch the grinding process through the inspection cover (29).
1. Loosen the allen screw (25.3) at the filter housing (25).
2. Remove the filter cover (25.2).
3. Remove the filter cassette (26) and put it into the plastic bag for
disposal.
4. Insert a new filter cassette so that the rubber seal is sitting tight to the
grinding head (2).
5. Mount the filter cover and tighten the screw.
7.2 Replacing the diamond wheel
1. Remove the electrode holder (5).
2. Loosen the knurled screw (22)
3. Unscrew the electrode holder guide (14) using the spanner (SW 17)
4. Remove the grinding chamber (10) including the inspection cover
(29).
5. Unscrew the nut retaining the diamond wheel, using the spanners
(SW14 & SW13), two flats are located on the motor spindle behind
the diamond wheel for this purpose.
6. Remove the diamond wheel.
7. Insert a new diamond wheel and replace the retaining nut.
8. Replace the grinding chamber and inspection cover
Replace the electrode holder guide
9. If the grinding head chamber is too dirty it can be cleaned with an
alkalised solution and rinsed with water. If doing so remember to
remove the filter first
