Try not to take your CMM's air from the lowest point in the line. Take the air above the lowest point preferably in a straight run down towards the floor. This will allow much of the water, oil and such to fall past your CMM air. You will how ever need to have a way to drain this lower section as just letting it fill up defeats the purpose. Running the line into a 5 gallon bucket with a lid will not only contain but also conceal the contaminates and allow you a means of removing them from the area. Just put a manually operated valve between the CMM air and the bucket "that you open to drain daily" and you will help improve your CMM's air quality.
My point exactly. I also made up and brought to the attention of my supervisor (NOTE: I am salary and still have a supervisor), a daily and monthly PM checklist, that involved cleaning the table off, and a quick wipe down of the computer desk. This will help ensure cleanliness, but also ensure that the next shift that needs to use the computer does not get covered in black when they go to use the computer next. This was his response....." Well it's in your job description as the programmer to clean the CMM everyday." ME: " So since I am the only programmer your saying that I should be the only one cleaning the CMM and the work area every day?"....HIM: " is there really any need to clean me CMM every shift?".......??????
ME: "not to mention we still need a monthly PM to check for looseness of parts and cables, and check and possibly replace filters" HIM: " you are not authorized to check and or replace filters, that is not part of your job duties"..
