If foundation bolts are used be sure that they do not cause distortion when tightened. Bench Models should be fixed on a substantial and firm bench with the table-base set level and bolted down, avoiding distortion, which could cause misalignment between table and drilling spindle. If machines are located with backs to a wall leave a space of at least 18” to permit withdrawal and inspection of motor controllers and starters. Machines set side by side should allow free access to Main Isolator mounted onside of machines. Clean protective compound off all bright parts; this can be done with a wiper damped with paraffin. Give particular attention to head and column slides. Remove wooden wedges which fix balance weights during transit, and see that spindle feed operates freely through the hand feed lever. See that Drilling Spindle revolves freely. Oil machine in accordance with Instructions on LUBRICATION. ‘On Automatic Feed Heads, keep feed disengaged until direction of spindle rotation is correct. Before connecting to electrical supply check details on Motor Plate to ensure that Motor and Supply are of corresponding voltage, etc., and read paragraph on ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. When first starting up machines fitted with 3-phase A.C. motor note direction of rotation of drilling spindles and correct same if necessary by changing over two of the mains leads in the isolator. On machines fitted for Electrical Reversing, the control lever should be in its upwards position when spindle is rotating in forward or drilling direction. 15AX TYPE Before starting up for the first time ensure that switch lever is not sluggish in action, and always returns immediately to vertical, or “OFF”, position after being moved to either right or left whilst current is off. Interference with free operation of this lever may cause No Volts Coils to burn out. ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT Machines are completely wired internally, including Coolant Supply Pump when fitted, and only require mains to be run into the Mains Isolator, and connected in accordance with local regulations. 15AX TYPE machines with A.C. Pole Changing Motors. Each spindle is driven by a.9 H.P. four speed stator /rotor unit. Each motor has a self-contained control unit, which incorporates Rotary Speed Selector Switch, Start, Stop and Brake Switch, Single Phase Magnetic Overload, and No Volt Release. Renewable contacts are used throughout. Overload release, after coming into operation, re-sets itself automatically.PAGE FOUR To ensure correct action of magnetic overload, it is important that dash pot _ | is filled to within }” of top. Check this when installing machine and | afterwards at three monthly intervals. Electric Brake is not intended for running machine in reverse, and should only be used for instantaneous | halting of spindle rotation, as overload protection does not cover the | braking position. | | To inspect control unit, first open Mains Isolator, then detach Starwheel (14) by removing taper pin, remove Indicator Disc (107), loosen clamp screw and locating screw and remove Lever (11). Finally, from back of machine, take out four screws and withdraw Unit (13) on the rods pro- vided, to a maximum distance of 8”, when full inspection and adjustments can be made. 15AY TYPE machines with Constant Speed Motors. Each spindle is driven by a1} H.P. flange mounted motor. For 3-phase A.C. supply the motor controls comprise:—Start, Stop, Remote Control, Memota Starter, and Mains Isolator. Incorporated in the Starter are Thermal Overload and Low Voltage Releases. The Over- load Release resets itself in about 60 seconds after coming into operation. The adjustable Resistances are correctly set before leaving the works and normally require no further adjustment. | For D.C. motors, suitable starters are fitted according to requirements. | Reversing switches, when fitted on either types of heads are accessible for inspection, etc., by removal of their side cover. | For Coolant Equipment, the Self-contained Electric Rotary Pump is wired toa Push-button Starter in which overload protection is provided. Motors should be blown out, and contacts examined and cleaned at regular intervals. LUBRICATION A small hand pump is provided for injecting grease through self-sealing lubricators into ball bearing housings. Attention need not be given to these oftener than once in three months. Oiling of all bearings, gears, etc., in heads is accomplished by oil bath, and drip feeds. The Oil Sights provided show the correct, and actual levels of oil. Correct oil levels should be maintained, and checking should be done whilst machine is stationary. 15AX TYPE, eight speed heads are provided with an internal pump which efficiently oils all internal mechanism, it only being necessary to maintain the oil level. Individual oilers (all indicated in illustrations) require a few spots of oil daily, after which, machine heads can be considered fully lubricated. Medium ball bearing grease should be used for grease lubricating, and medium viscosity machine oil for gear boxes, etc. | Head and Column slides should be kept lightly oiled to protect surfaces from rust, and to facilitate adjustment. Table lifting screws and bevels should be kept lubricated. Winding shaft and screw head bearings are now fitted with self-lubricating bushes and require no further attention. | V_ onillustrations indicates “OIL DAILY” vou ” ” “GREASE EVERY 3 MONTHS”PAGE FIVE COOLANT SUPPLY EQUIPMENT This is a completely self-contained equipment which can be attached to any model, size of pump, tank, etc., being according to number of heads on machine. Ample circulation of coolant, without fear of overflow, can be maintained with the tank only filled to ‘about 2 capacity. Table channels, strainers and sumps should be kept reasonably clear of swarf to permit free flow of coolant returning to tank. Individual taps permit control of supply to each separate spindle, and relief valve in pump prevents undue pressure in the fittings. Push-button Starter, incorporating overloads is fitted and wired to Mains Isolator. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Make certain that machine is properly lubricated as instructed in LUBRICATION. 15AX. POLE CHANGE MOTOR TYPE. To start up, close main switch and move Control lever (11) to “ON” when machine will com- mence running. Obtain spindle speed required by turning Starwheel (14), in either direction until pointer is at desired speed. This can be done whilst machine is in motion. On eight speed heads, choose High or Low gear BEFORE STARTING UP, AND NEVER CHANGE GEARS WHILST MACHINE IS IN MOTION. To stop machine move Control Lever to “OFF” when machine will slow down and stop, or, move Control Lever sharply over to “BRAKE”, and almost immediately return it to “OFF” when machine will stop instan- taneously. Do not use Electric Brake for running machine in reverse direction. Ifthe machine is to remain stationary open the Mains Isolator. 15AY. CONSTANT SPEED MOTORTYPE. Tostart up close main switch, select desired speed by setting Change Speed Levers as indicated on Spindle Speed Chart, and move lever (11) to “ON” position, this will start motor and operate locking gate (98) thus preventing gear changing, lever should drop freely back to neutral position, so that ‘novolt” and ‘overload release’ can function if necessary. To stop machine move lever (11) to “OFF” position and this will switch off motor and disengage locking gate to allow speed changing. If machine is to remain stationary open the Mains isolator. AUTOMATIC FEED Auto. Feed has three ratios of feed to spindle speed, chosen through selector knob (179) whilst machine is running. Auto, Feed is brought into, and out of, action by sideways movement of Hand Feed Levers (205), and can be tripped mechanically at any depth of feed by setting the Trip Stop (232) at the appropriate position on rackbush. Auto. Feed should never be used unless the trip stop is set to cut out the feed at a point of safety. Feed Safety Clutch provides protection against overload due to spindle running in reverse direction with Auto. Feed engages, and also against overload when spindle is running in forward direction.PAGE SIX ELECTRICAL REVERSING ‘On machines fitted with Electrical Reversing Equipment, reversing can be achieved by manual control, by pulling down the hand lever when desired depth of feed is reached, thus reversing spindle rotation. The lever should be raised when tap is clear of component, and forward running will be reverted to. For mechanical control, set Lower Stop on Control Rod to reverse spindle at desired depth. Set upper stop, which reverts spindle to forward direction, so that it operates the switch but does not impede full return stroke of spindle. Note, and do not exceed the number of reversals permissible per minute as stated on plate attached to machine. CARE OF DRILL SPINDLE Long Tension Spring housed in machine column balances spindle assembly. This is adjusted correctly before leaving the works, and requires no further attention. Spindle Bracket is balanced by weight. When Multi Heads are fitted, Spindle bracket is not balanced, as it is generally fixed in a predetermined position, but Spindle Assembly (carrying Multi Head) is balanced by pick-off adjustable weights. A heavier chain is also fitted. For bench machines, it is necessary to cut a hole in the bench to allow for the balance weight and spring. See that morse taper bore is clean, and only use tools with morse taper and tang in good condition. Use proper drift to eject tools from spindle and so avoid damaging spindle nose and bore. HEAD AND TABLE ADJUSTMENT Before attempting adjustment of height of table, loosen locking bolt which is under the table, and so avoid straining lifting screw or table. Retighten locking bolt immediately adjustment is completed and reverse winding lever on end of shaft so that it is housed under the table and does not obstruct machine operator. Whilst setting sliding head, lock by means of the ball handle on the top bolt, and when finally adjusted also tighten the lower locking bolt. To ensure perfect alignment between drilling spindle and table always see that table and sliding head locking bolts are properly tightened.
