Skill Level

Level 2

Moderate task, requires some mechanical/electrical experience.

Time to Complete: 5 hrs

introduction:

For this upgrade, two 3/4″ water lines are required: one for the halo recycled water and one for the spindle fresh water. Water flow results depend on water supply. The optimal set up would be a 4″ main with two 1″ drops; one for recycled and one for fresh water.

see step 18 for spindle center water flow kit

Machine Lockout

Mounting the main water manifold on Titan 2000 Series Machines

  • Locate the manifold on the right side of the Titan base.
  • Remove the five lines going to the existing manifold.
  • Remove the old manifold held in place by 2 10-32″ bolts.
  • Mount the new manifold in the same location. New bolts are included in the kit if needed.

Mounting main water manifold for Titan 1000 series

  • If your Titan has the older style water manifold (See picture above) the mounting holes for the new manifold need to be added.
  • Using the aluminum block on the new manifold make a template and mark the holes on the base.
  • Find a spot on the base that is close to the existing water lines.
  • Mark the holes with the template and drill the 2 mounting holes using the supplies No. 21 drill bit.
  • Tap the holes with 10-32 tap that came with the new kit.
  • Mount the new water manifold.

Connect the water lines to the new manifold.

  • A = incoming recycled water (new line)
  • B = incoming fresh water (new line)
  • C = fresh water going to spindle (existing line)
    *Note: if the spindle fresh water kit is being installed, this line will get replaced
  • D = liquid ring vacuum pump (existing line) If your machine doesn’t have liquid ring vacuum pump remove fitting and install plug with 1/2″ NPT.
  • E = recycled water going to the halo. Wait to connect this line.

Valve upgrade for 1000 series 1016 or older.

  • A ball valve upgrade it is needed if you have this style water valve bank.
  • Upgrade kit part number 77210

Remove the 1/2″ recycled water valve

  • Remove the two 5/8″ water lines (red arrows)
  • Remove the 1/4″ air line from the top of air valve (orange arrow)
  • Find the flow switch cable for the recycled water and cut the tie straps that hold the cable.
  • Remove the cable from the 8 port block.
  • Depending on your machine model the cable could be in a different place.
  • Remove the 2 bolts that hold the valve in the bracket. Uses a 3/16″ allen wrench.

Installing the new 3/4″ water valve

  • With the old valve removed, the new 3/4″ water valve will go in it’s spot.
  • Mount the new valve using the mounting hardware removed in the previous step.
  • Note: the new ball valve will also come with a manual on/off valve where you can reduce water flow if necessary.
  • Plug in the new flow switch cable in the 8 port block where the old one was removed from.
  • Using the tie straps, bundle the new cable with the old ones and tie it back.
  • Plug the cable into the new flow switch
  • Plug the 1/4″ air line in to the top of valve.
  • The new water line will be installed later.

Remove the front shroud

  • Disconnect front pull cord
  • If you have a water curtain, disconnect air lines.
  • Remove the spindle shroud

Remove the Z Axis cable carrier covers

  • Remove the covers using a flat blade screw driver.
    • Start on the side with the X Axis motor.
    • Insert the screw driver and pry in the direction of the arrow, you will feel a little pop and cover should be free.
    • Some of the Titan 1000’s series have tabs on the side to remove the covers.

There are 3 different covers on the carrier:

  • Red arrow – Cover for the back side of cable carrier by cross travel motor
  • Blue arrow – are for the spindle side.
  • Green arrow – is for the middle of the cable carrier.

Mounting the Tee-Bracket 2000 Series Titan

  • The old tee bracket is located on the right side of the spindle towards the bottom.
  • Remove the three lines with the red arrow that go into the tee bracket.
  • There is one bolt that holds the tee bracket to the Titan. Use 9/16″ wrench to remove.
  • Remove the tie straps so you can pull back the 5/8″ supply line back to the cross travel cable.
  • Mount the new tee bracket in the same location using existing bolt.

Mounting the tee bracket on 1000 Series Titan

  • On the bracket where the cross-travel cable carrier attaches remove the bolt closest to the cable carrier 9/16″ wrench.
  • Attach the new bracket using the same bolt.
  • The two 5/8″ fittings need to be changed so the 90 degree fitting is on top.

Halo on the Series 2000 Titan

  • Remove the two bolts that hold the halo ring.
    • Use 1/2″ wrench
    • May need rubber mallet to get the halo ring off.
  • Remove the 1/2″ fittings and install the new 5/8″ fittings.

Installing new tips on Halo 2000 Titan Series

  • Grasp the blue portion on the lock line with a pliers and pry the tip away from the pliers.
  • Remove all 8 tips.
  • Install the new tips. Grasp the blue portion of the lock line with one hand to keep the line from moving, push the new tips on.
  • Use a side to side motion to get the tips on.

Modifying Lock line manifold on 1000 Series Titan

  • Remove the 5/8″ supply line. Pull this line back to the cross travel by cutting the tie straps that hold it in the water line bundle.
  • Remove the line and fitting from position 6. Install one of the 1/2″ NPT plugs where you took the fitting out.
  • Apply thread sealant to plug and use 3/8″ Allen wrench.
  • Cut the 5/8″ line that came in the kit into 2 equal lengths. Attach one line to each of the lock line manifolds.
  • Use the tie straps to bundle the 2 5/8″ lines back to the Tee Bracket on the back side of the cross travel.
  • Attach the lines to the tee bracket.

Remove all 5/8″ recycled water lines

  • All the 5/8″ recycled water line is going to be replaced by 3/4″ rubber hose.
  • There are 3 sections of line that need to be removed.
  • First Line is the line that runs from old main water to the gantry tray manifold.
  • Second line runs from gantry tray manifold through gantry cable carrier to the old ball valve.
  • The third line runs from the old ball valve through cross travel cable carrier to the spindle.

Center Spindle High Flow Kit 98751 Install

  • Cut the rubber hose so you have a 30 foot and 40 foot piece.
  • Connect one end of the 30 foot piece to point E on the main water manifold using one of the hose clamps. The hose fits tight to the barb, you can apply a little soap and water to help.

  • Run the 3/4″ line with the other lines over to the end of the gantry cable carrier trough. Secure it to the other lines using tie straps.
  • At the end of the trough the 3/4″ line will not go into the manifold. Instead make a curve before going into the gantry cable carrier.
  • Run the 30 foot line through the gantry cable carrier to the new ball valve. Connect the other end of the hose to point A on the ball valve.
  • Use a hose clamp to secure it to the barb.

Running the 3/4″ hose to spindle.

  • Attach one end of the 40 foot piece to point B of the new ball valve.
  • Run the line down the trough on the back side of the bridge and through the cross travel cable carrier.
  • The line is a tight fit into the cable carrier you may need a second person to help.
  • The dividers in the carrier may need to be adjusted to fit the 3/4″ hose.
  • Bundle the 3/4 hose with all the other water and air lines and secure them with tie straps.
  • Attach the other end to the hose barb on the reducer assembly. You will want to place this somewhere out of the X axis cable carrier and where it won’t get pinched or damaged.
  • Run the 5/8″ water line from the reducer to the top of the 3 Way Valve as pictured in item #9 here.

Make sure all the lines that were installed are secure in a way that they will not get damaged while operating the Titan.

Z Axis Cable Carrier

Once all the lines are secure the covers can go back on the Z Axis cable carrier.

  • Red arrow – Cover for the back side of cable carrier by cross travel motor
  • Blue arrow – are for the spindle side.
  • Green arrow – is for the middle of the cable carrier.

Covers overlap each other, start from the spindle side.

Covers on 2000 Series tilt into place.

Check for leaks

  • Check all the hose clamps are tight and all lines seated in the fittings
  • Attach the pull cord
  • Turn on the water and air
  • Power up the Titan
  • Go to manual screen then turn on the spindle. You may need to start a couple times due to air in lines.
  • While spindle is running look over all connection points for leaks.
  • Reconnect the air lines for the water curtain.
