DISCO dicing saw filter element LKKH-010039-0

The LKKH-010039-0 is a filter element for the compressed air pressure regulator in DISCO dicing saw pneumatic systems. It serves as a critical consumable component essential for the proper operation of the spindle and various pneumatic parts.

Core Function and Purpose

Installed downstream of the compressed air pressure regulator, this filter element removes oil, moisture, and particulate matter from the air supply. Since the spindles in DISCO dicing saws typically utilize air-bearing designs—which demand an exceptionally high level of air purity—the ingress of oil or water into the pneumatic system can directly damage the spindle or solenoid valves. Consequently, this filter element acts as the primary line of defense for protecting the high-value spindle.

Maintenance Interval: It is generally recommended to replace this type of air filter element once a year. However, if the element shows signs of discoloration or if an abnormal pressure drop is detected in the pneumatic line, it should be replaced immediately.

Technical Recommendation

When replacing this filter element, also inspect the pressure regulator bowl for any accumulated water and verify that there are no leaks throughout the entire pneumatic system.
