PATHAK DRILL MACHINE INSTALLATION

Installation

Lifting of the machine

While lifting of the machine by crane, proper care should be taken to prevent any damage to the machine’s paint & its components. Use suitable wooden blocks or felt packing when ever there are  chances of the damage to machine or machine part due to use of rope or chain

Please ensure that suitable capacity ropes or chains being used while the lifting of the machine. The machine should be lifted in balanced position. The lifting or placement of the machine must be carried out by competent and authorized person only.

  

  Unpacking And Cleaning

Once the machine is brought in shop floor , for unpacking of the machine proper care should be taken. In case of machine with the case packing, top direction is marked on the wooden case. It is suggested that the packing case is opened soon after its receipt and verification is made for the standard and optional accessories mentioned in the packing list.

Prior to dispatch all slides all unpainted parts, handles etc. are coated with anti corrosive  / rust preventive chemicals. This should be carefully removed and wiped dry and then all bright parts of the machine should be oiled immediately    

Foundation

The machine can give satisfactory performance only, if it is put on proper foundation and proper leveling of machine has been done, the foundation should be prepared accurately and sufficient time should be allowed for concrete slab to fully cured and dried.

The depth of foundation slab should be directly decided by the users, keeping in mind the soil condition and surrounding atmosphere. The load bearing capacity of soil should be taken in account for preparing  the foundation. Prepare for the machine a firm foundation which will not distort or settle down in the course of time. Distortion of the foundation may be caused by changes in dumped soil as well as by underground water. Determine depth of the foundation carefully in accordance with local soil conditions

Leveling 

The leveling of machine is very important and should be carried our with proper care.  The accuracy of spirit level is recommended as 0.020mm/ Mtr. After proper leveling of machine. The foundation bolts are to be grouted in larger holes with 1:3 cement  and sand mixture. Sufficient time should be allowed for the concrete to cure. The foundation bolts are then tightened without undue force.

Electric Connection

If the machine is supplied in powered version then internal wiring of the electrical motor has been done in the machine.  Electrical power supply of three phase and proper earthing is required to run the machine.  Please check the machine body with tester for leak aging of power for safety reasons. Press ON Push button to the start the power supply.

Electric Switch Gear & Lead

Our machines are provided with precision electrical equipments which ensures dependable operations and long life when handle with reasonable care. Switch box covers should be kept closed to prevent dust, direct swarf and other moisture from entering them. Clean switch gears at intervals of three to six months depending upon the condition of operation. Check carefully seal of lids and cover with gaskets and sealing compound. Brush off dust and remove seals with scraper. Do not file or use emery paper cloth on contacts. Contact surfaces should be clean (Rough condition of contact surfaces does not contribute to better conduction or service life. Replace contacts when the contact pressure becomes uneven, too weak or when the spring compression is less then 0.5mm.

 

Idle Running Of The Machine

At the time of dispatch of machine, the speeds are set for the lowest value. You are requested to ensure that these positions are maintained at the time of starting of machine to avoid any accident.

Lubrication

Proper lubrication of the machine is a matter of vital importance. The retention of accuracy, satisfactory service and longevity directly  depends on its proper lubrication and the care it receives from the operator. If proper lubrication is neglected it will result in impairment in accuracy and serviceable life of machine. It is advisable to lubricate the machine at regular intervals. The best practice is to fill each oil hole in sequence so that the regular oiling becomes a habit and no lubrication point is overlooked

Dirt and work chips should be brushed away before oiling to prevent them to enter the oil holes.

Safety Procedures

The safety  while using  DRILL  machine is very important . DRILL  owners, operators, mold setters, and maintenance personnel must realize that every day, all day, safety is a vital aspect of their jobs.

If your main concern is productivity, remember this. Loss of production always follows an accident

involving a press.

Ø  loss of a skilled operator (temporarily or permanently)

Ø  breakdown of shop morale

Ø  costly damage to press and/or tooling

Ø  down time.

An effective press safety program is not only humanitarian, but is also economically sound. Organize a safety committee or group, and hold regular meetings. Promote this group from the management level. Through this group, the safety program can be continually reviewed, maintained, and improved.

Keep minutes or a record of the meetings Hold daily press inspections in addition to regular maintenance checks. You will keep your presses safe for production and exhibit your commitment to safety. 

Please read and use this manual as a guide and strictly follow the instruction given ahead in this manual. 

Operator’s Responsibility :

It doesn't end with fast and efficient production. The press operator usually has the most daily contact with the press and intimately knows its capabilities and limitations. Plant and personal safety is sometimes forgotten in the desire to meet incentive rates, or through a casual attitude toward machinery formed over a period of months or years. Your employer probably has established a set of safety rules in your workplace. Those rules, this manual, or any other safety information will not keep you from being injured while operating your press.

“ONLY YOU” can make safety work for you by constantly thinking about what is safe and what is not. It is often the "just once" that a press operator reaches into a press to remove or adjust material, or rest a hand in the ram area while talking to a co-worker that results in serious injury. Learn and always use safe press operation. Cooperate with co-workers to promote safe practices. Immediately report any potentially dangerous situation to your supervisor or appropriate person.
