1.5 RISK ASSESSMENT AND HAZARD MITIGATION

The Globe Valve Grinder was designed and built on the basis of a risk analysis and
under consideration of all relevant harmonised standards as well as further national
standards and technical specifications. The machine thus conforms to the current
level of technology and guarantees the highest possible degree of safety.

This level of safety can only be achieved in practice if all necessary measures are
observed in dealing with the machine. It is therefore part of the duty of care of the
machine's operator to plan these measures and check that they are correctly exe­cuted.

In particular, the operator must ensure that:

• the Globe Valve Grinder is only used as prescribed (cf. chapter
"Product Description")

• the Globe Valve Grinder is operated only in a fault-free, operational
condition and in particular the safety devices are regularly checked to
ensure that they function as stipulated.

• any necessary protective equipment for the operating, maintenance and
repair personnel is available and is used

• the operating manual is always legible and is available in full at the
Globe Valve Grinder’s location

• the machine is operated, maintained and repaired only by sufficiently
qualified and authorised personnel

• these personnel are regularly instructed in all matters relating to occu­pational safety and environmental protection and are familiar with the
operating manual and in particular the safety instructions it contains

• all safety instructions and warnings on the Globe Valve Grinder are vis­ible and legible and are not removed.

Portable Machine Tools are designed for on-site machining applications. They typ­ically attach directly to the workpiece itself, or to an adjacent structure, and
achieve their rigidity from the structure to which it is attached. The design intent is
that the Portable Machine Tool and the structure to which it is attached become
one complete machine during the material-removal process.

The operator must perform an overall review and on-site risk assessment of the
intended application. Due to the unique nature of portable machining applications,
identifying one or more hazards that must be addressed is typical.

When performing the on-site risk assessment, it is important to consider the Porta­ble Machine Tool and the workpiece as a whole.

Page 4 VM2350-2500-2600S,C Operating Manual

1.6 RISK ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST

The following checklist is not intended to be an all inclusive list of things to watch
out for when setting up and operating this Portable Machine Tool. However, these
checklists are typical of the types of risks the assembler and operator should con­sider. Use these checklists as part of your risk assessment:

upper gear housing. Both drives are
adapted to the machine by means
of a drive flange with clamping
screw. Therefore, depending on the
application, the Globe Valve
Grinder can be delivered with elec-

tric and pneumatic drive unit. The
machine arm connects the gear drive with the machine spindle. During operation,
the machine spindle is rotating. The tools are adapted to the machine spindle by
means of a self-aligning coupling with ball joint. This ensures that the tools are
automatically aligned during machine operation.

An indicator for the grinding pressure is integrated in the upper gear housing.

Planet grinding and lapping wheels (in the following called planet grinding
wheels) are used as tools.

The planet grinding wheels consist of:

• a coupling with ball joint for self-alignment of planet wheels

• a planet wheel

• planet arms with integrated spindle bearing system

• grinding or lapping discs to put onto planet arms

• abrasives for grinding (for lapping operation, a lapping paste is used
instead of abrasives)

Each planet grinding wheel covers a wide working range. To adjust the wheel to
the machining diameter, the planet arms can be moved into the planet wheel
guides. The planet arms are clamped with one screw quick clamping system.

Page 8 VM2350-2500-2600S,C Operating Manual

The abrasives are put onto the grinding discs which are mounted to the planet
arms. This system ensures a quick change from grinding with abrasives to CBN­grinding discs or to lapping discs. Prior to the machining operation, the Globe
Valve Grinder has to be mounted to the globe valve body by means of an universal
clamping device (included in basic scope of supply). With this clamping device,
the machine can easily be set up and centred to the valve seat. In addition, it
enables the operator to take the machine system out to change the abrasives with­out dismantling the universal clamping device.

A 3-jaw-centring-chuck is available as an option.

The machine configuration with electric drive motor is started with the trigger but­ton. The machine spindle is rotating as long as the trigger button is being pushed.
For permanent operation, the trigger button can be locked.

The spindle speed can be adjusted at the top of the electric drive motor.

The machine configuration with pneumatic drive is started by pushing the red
safety button of the maintenance unit. This maintenance unit is available as an
option or it can be supplied by the customer.

To increase the speed range, the electric drive motor is equipped with a 2-stage
mechanically switching gear.

Due to the fact that the pneumatic drive motor has already a wide range of adjust­ment, an additional gear system is not necessary.

The Globe Valve Grinder and accessories are delivered in high-quality, durable
carrying cases with foam inlet for safe transportation and storage.

This section describes the setup and assembly procedures for the VM2350-2500­2600S,C globe valve grinding and lapping machine.

3.1 RECEIPT AND INSPECTION

Your CLIMAX product was inspected and tested prior to shipment, and packaged
for normal shipment conditions. CLIMAX does not guarantee the condition of
your machine upon delivery.

When you receive your CLIMAX product, perform the following receipt checks:

1. Inspect the shipping containers for damage.

2. Check the contents of the shipping containers against the included invoice
to make sure that all components have been shipped.

3. Inspect all components for damage.

Contact CLIMAX immediately to report damaged or missing components.

NOTICE

Keep the shipping container and all packing materials for future
storage and shipping of the machine.

The machine ships from CLIMAX with a heavy coating of LPS 3. The recom­mended cleaner is LPS PreSolve Orange Degreaser. All parts must be cleaned
before use.

The machine and accessories are delivered in high-quality, durable carrying cases
with foam inlet for safe transportation and storage (see Figure 3-1 on page 12 and
Figure 3-2 on page 13).

To avoid that the machine arrives on site in incomplete condition, the cases should
always be checked prior to transportation. It is very important to check that the
case contains a sufficient amount of abrasives to ensure an uninterrupted opera­tion.

To protect the equipment, the cases should always be locked during transportation.
To avoid an uncontrolled opening of the case, the locks are firmly tightened. It is
recommended to push the case’s cover down to get the case easily opened.

P/N 89817, Rev. 1 Page 11

Even if the case provides a perfect protection of the equipment, any shocks and
collisions should be avoided.

The weight of the cases should not be underestimated, therefore the cases are to be
secured during transportation to avoid any harm to people or damage to other
equipment by parts falling out of the case.

Especially during work at high levels, all parts are to be secured against dropping.
This is also important for parts that are not directly used for the operation.

TIP:

The case should always be closed and secured against
dropping.

After transportation, check all parts for visible damages before connecting the
machine to power supply again.

P/N 89817, Rev. 1 Page 15

CAUTION

4.2.1 Selection of tools

Select tool size according to application (working diameter, width of seat). To
assure a definite rotation of the grinding discs, the planet arms should be adjusted
that the pitch circle of the grinding discs (centre point of grinding discs) is smaller
than the inner diameter of the valve seat to be ground.

Selection of proper tool components according to table 4.1.1.1:

• Planet wheel of applicable size

• Planet arms of applicable size

• Grinding discs (no need if spindle diameter 30 mm is sufficient)

• abrasives (size and grain according to application) – no need for lap-

• proper screws

The basic scope of supply includes the following grinding discs:

All screws with visible damages have to be changed
immediately. If disregarded, damaged screws can only be
unscrewed with extreme effort and parts of the machine might be
damaged.

thinner)

Putting abrasives onto grinding discs (not applicable for lapping operation and
grinding with CBN-grinding discs)

Assembly of selected tool components (according to photo 4.1.2.1), observe appli­cable torque for screws, if too low, components get loose, if too high, screw might
be damaged:

• Put grinding discs onto grinding spindles of planet arms by using
counter sunk screws M5x8-8.8-Zn according to DIN 79. Make sure that
the pin for transmitting the torque is locked. All mating surfaces have
to be cleaned prior to the assembly, otherwise the accuracy will be
influenced

• Move planet arms into the guides on the planet wheel. Also here, all
mating surfaces have to be clean

• Planet arms are positioned and clamped onto planet wheel by means of
the counter sunk screws mentioned above (planet arm Type I has 2
screws). A scale is provided to position the planet arms on each guide.
To assure a definite rotation of the grinding discs, the pitch circle of the
discs should be smaller than the inner diameter of the seat to be ground.

The standard scope of supply also
includes a collar band mounting
system for locating the machine
onto valve bodies without flange.

In this case, the collar band shafts
are bolted to the clamping shoes by
means of socket head screws M12
x 35 according to DIN 912 (use
washers dia. 13 x 35 x 5 mm, con­tained in standard scope of supply).

The universal clamping device
should be mounted with the collar
band shafts resting onto the upper
rim of the valve body.

On the bottom end of the collar
band shafts, two set screws are pro­vided to support the collar band
shaft against the valve body.

MEANS OF COLLAR BAND SHAFTS (COLLAR
BAND IS NOT SHOWN)

In this connection, the angular
clamps should be slightly loose to
ensure that the collar band shafts
are resting against the valve body.
After tightening the collar band, the
angular clamps are securely
clamped.

After the band is located around the
valve body and the collar band
shafts, it is securely fastened. On
the bottom of the collar band
shafts, a raised surface is provided
to avoid the collar band from slip­ping.

The collar band locks automati­cally and fixates the universal
clamping device to the valve body.

4.5.1 Adaptating the planet wheel dia. 100 mm or dia. 135 mm

Planet wheels dia. 100 mm or dia.
135 mm can directly be adapted to
the machine spindle. After the set
screw of the planet wheel is
released (1 – 2 rotations), the
planet wheel can be engaged to the
ball joint of the machine spindle
and the set screw can be tightened
again. The planet wheel is safely
adapted to the machine spindle.
Prior to operation, the ball joint of
the machine spindle has to be lubri­cated with grease (i.e. Molykote or
Unimoly or similar).

FIGURE 4-16. ADAPTATION OF PLANET WHEEL DIA. 100 MM

4.5.2 Adaptation of planet wheel dia. 220 mm or bigger

In case a grinding wheel dia. 220 mm
or bigger is used, a ball joint coupling
has to be mounted to the machine spin­dle first. After the set screw of the ball
joint coupling is released (1 – 2 rota­tions), the coupling can be engaged to
the machine spindle. Prior to opera­tion, the ball joint of the machine has
to be lubricated with grease (i.e.
Molykote or Unimoly or similar).

After this, the prepared planet wheel
can be adapted to the ball joint cou­pling with two socket head screws M5
x 12 according to DIN 912.

4.5.3 Locating the machine to universal clamping device

First of all, the flap of the centre module has to be opened and the in-feed device
has to be adjusted into its upper position by means of its ratchet.

Then, the machine arm is located into the centre module of the universal clamping
device. Be sure that the bracket will engage into the in-feed mechanism. For easy
handling, unclamp the bracket as soon as it has contacted the in-feed mechanism.

CAUTION

When locating the
machine into the
universal clamping
device, it has to be
firmly held by hand to
avoid slipping. The
machine is secured
against slipping when
the bracket is
clamped and located
in the in- feed
mechanism. In
addition, the flap on
the centre module
has to be locked.

Close the flap and lock it. The flap
should not clamp the machine arm
yet. While the machine arm is
being held by hand the bracket can
be unclamped and the machine arm
can be lowered into the valve body
to its working position.

Connect the machine to the power
supply.

FIGURE 4-19. LOCATING THE MACHINE INTO THE UNIVERSAL

CLAMPING DEVICE

Page 26 VM2350-2500-2600S,C Operating Manual

CAUTION

All cables and hoses for the machine power supply have to be
covered or installed in such manner that no person can stumble.

Before connecting the machine to the power supply, check all
cables and hoses for damages.

For grinding and lapping operation, always wear eye protection
glasses.

For machines with electric drive motor, make sure that the trigger
button is in unlocked position before connecting to the power
supply.

CAUTION

Machines with pneumatic drive may not be used without
maintenance unit (filter and air lubricator).

4.6 OPERATION

The air supply line must offer a minimum pressure of 6,3 bar to
the maintenance unit.

The air supply must be free from humidity and particles to protect
the unit from damage.

All supply lines must be provided for the air pressure and volume
requirements.

WARNING

Do not reach with hands or other sections of the body into
rotating tools. Wear eye protection glasses during grinding and
lapping operation.

P/N 89817, Rev. 1 Page 27

The indicator for the grinding pressure is located on top of the upper gear housing.
The relating figures are shown in Figure 4-20.

FIGURE 4-20. INDICATOR FOR GRINDING PRESSURE

Before operation, please adjust the grinding pressure according to the application.
To do so, make sure that the flap of the centre module is not clamping the machine
arm. The machine arm should only be guided and with the ratchet of the in-feed
mechanism, the machine arm can be moved downwards to adjust the required
grinding pressure. The grinding pressure is indicated on top of the upper gear
housing (see 4.5.0.1.). After setting the grinding pressure, the machine arm is
clamped with the flap of the centre module.

Electric drive motor

Push trigger button and adjust the speed on top of the drive motor. For permanent
speed, the trigger button can be locked at the bottom of the handle. After locking,
the trigger button can be released and the machine keeps running. In addition, it is
possible to select the direction of the rotation (cw, ccw). It is always recommended
to use the clockwise direction, because only in clockwise direction, the machine
can reach its max. speed (white arrow points to the top). On top of the electric
drive motor, the direction of the rotation is indicated by two diodes (“R” means
clockwise”. The electric drive motor is equipped with an additional 2-stage
mechanically switching gear. The switch for the mechanical gear is located on the
bottom side of the electric drive motor. The switch is marked with a turtle and a
rabbit. The turtle means high ratio (max. speed = 245 rpm, high torque). The rabbit
means low ratio (max. speed = 700 rpm, lower torque).

The speeds marked on the electric drive housing indicate the speed of the electric
drive motor itself and not the speed of the valve grinder’s spindle.

To get the spindle speed of the valve grinder, these figures have to be divided by

3.6.

Page 28 VM2350-2500-2600S,C Operating Manual

The electric drive motor also has a switch for a percussion drill function. This
switch is located at the side of the electric drive housing. However, for the general
function of the valve grinder, this switch and its function is not required.

The machine should always run in drilling mode (symbol = drill) and never in per­cussion drill function (symbol = hammer).

FIGURE 4-21. OPERATING BUTTONS OF ELECTRIC DRIVE MOTOR

Pneumatic drive motor (operating with the optional maintenance unit)

The spindle speed is activated by pushing the red safety button of the maintenance
unit to its upper position. The speed can be adjusted by the regulating knob on the
maintenance unit. The operating pressure is indicated at the gauge on the mainte­nance unit. If customer is using his own maintenance unit, the operation might be
different, however, the basic operating buttons should be provided.

CAUTION

The operating pressure of the machine is 6,3 bar. Higher
pressure can result in damaging the machine and therefore, it is
not applicable.

P/N 89817, Rev. 1 Page 29

.

FIGURE 4-22. MAINTENANCE UNIT WITH OPERATING BUTTONS FOR PNEUMATIC DRIVE (OPTIONAL)

CAUTION

Never operate the pneumatic drive without maintenance unit with
lubricator and filter. The lubricator must always be filled with oil.

The air supply line must always offer an air pressure of 6,3 bar to
the maintenance unit. The air supplied to the maintenance unit
must be free from humidity and other particles to protect the
machine against damages.

All air supply lines, fittings etc. must be provided according to the
air pressure and volume requirements.

The grinding pressure can be adjusted during machining operation as required. For
adjustment of grinding pressure, the flap of the centre module should be slightly
untied. The grinding pressure can be adjusted with the ratchet of the in-feed mech­anism. The grinding pressure is indicated on top of the upper gear housing

(see 4.5.0.1). After adjustment of grinding pressure, the flap of the centre module
has to be tightened again.

Page 30 VM2350-2500-2600S,C Operating Manual

For lapping operation, make sure that sufficient lapping paste is put onto the sur­face to be machined.

For grinding operation, make sure that the abrasive is still in proper condition.
Always change abrasives in time, otherwise it might result into poor performance:

• Poor performance: wasted time

• Overproportional heat creation: shearing off the abrasives and damag­ing the valve seat

4.7 CHANGE OF ABRASIVES

• Stop the machine with trigger button (electric drive) or with red safety
button on maintenance unit (pneumatic drive) and interrupt the power
supply.

• Release grinding pressure. To release grinding pressure, untie the flap
of the centre module and move machine arm up by using the ratchet of
the in-feed mechanism until the indicator on top of the upper gear hous­ing does not indicate any grinding pressure anymore.

• Disconnect machine from power supply

• Hold machine arm and open the flap of the centre module

• Move the machine arm to the side and take the bracket out of the in­feed mechanism

• Move machine arm up until the planet wheel can be taken out of the
valve body

• Change the abrasive

• Put machine back into position, adjust grinding pressure and go on with
the grinding operation (steps vice versa as described above)

4.8 CHANGE OF DRIVE MOTOR

CAUTION

The valve grinder may only be used with the original drive
motors delivered with the machine.
Otherwise, due to higher speeds and torque or wrong
mechanical connections, the machine can be damaged and it
may result into harm to the operator.

P/N 89817, Rev. 1 Page 31

4.8.1 Change of mounted drive motor

After release of the clamping
screw, the drive can be pulled off.
With the electric drive motor, there
is an additional adapter bushing in
the drive flange bore (dia. 43 mm /
48 mm). This bushing has to be
removed for mounting the pneu­matic drive motor.

After the drive motor is taken out
of the machine, the coupling can be
disconnected. This step is unneces­sary when the machine is delivered
with electric and pneumatic drive
motor since both drives are pre­pared with a coupling.

Since the electric drive motor
offers a rotation in both directions,
the coupling is secured with an
additional left-hand threaded
screw. To disconnect the coupling,
this screw has to be taken off first
(high torque required, since the
screw is secured with glue).

FIGURE 4-23. CHANGE OF MOUNTED DRIVE MOTOR

For a machine with pneumatic drive, this screw is not provided since the drive only
rotates in clockwise direction. To take the coupling off, the motor spindle has to be
blocked with a fixed spanner (size 19 mm).

FIGURE 4-24. DISCONNECTION OF COUPLING

Page 32 VM2350-2500-2600S,C Operating Manual

4.8.2 Mounting of new drive motor

To mount a new drive motor, the coupling has to be connected to the ½” – 20
UNF-2A thread of the motor spindle. Due to the fact that the electric drive motor
offers spindle rotation in both directions, the coupling has to be secured with a left­hand threaded screw (see 4.7.1.2). If the machine is delivered with electric and
pneumatic drive, this step is unnecessary since both drives are prepared with cou­plings.

After connection of the coupling, the electric drive can be moved into the drive
flange by using the adapter bushing. For pneumatic drive motors, this bushing is
unnecessary since the pneumatic drive directly fits into the drive flange bore.
Make sure that the coupling of the drive motors engage the drive pin inside the
gear. This is achieved when the shaft of the electric drive is completely moved into
the drive flange.

4.9 CENTERING CHUCK FOR VERTICAL GRINDING (OPTIONAL)

In addition or as an option, the machine can
be delivered with a 3-jaw centring chuck
(assembly of chuck see manual of chuck).
The centring chuck is not recommended and
designed for vertical grinding or for grinding
over head.

Prior to the adaptation of the tooling, the
machine arm has to be put into the centre
bore of the chuck (dia. 50 mm) and clamped.
Then, the tooling can be adapted to the
machine spindle.

Together with the 3-jaw centring chuck, the
machine is mounted onto the valve body by
using the

3-jaw clamping mechanism. Then you have
to secure the housing of the centring chuck
mechanical, so that it cannot rotate, if the
chuck becomes loose during the operation. To
adjust the machine arm to the submerging
depths required, the arm is unclamped and
manually moved into the valve body until the
grinding tool touches the valve seat. The
grinding pressure is manually set and the
machine arm is clamped. The machine is ready for operation.

FIGURE 4-25. 3-JAW CENTRING CHUCK

(OPTIONAL)

P/N 89817, Rev. 1 Page 33

To change the abrasives, the grinding pressure has to be released and after
unclamping the 3-jaw centring chuck, the machine including chuck can be taken
out of the valve body. After changing the abrasives, the machine can be relocated
as described before.

For all work on the machine, the electrical power supply line
must be disconnected to avoid any danger to the life and health
of persons due to uncontrolled rotation of the tools.

5.2 LUBRICANTS

5.2.1 Lubricating the machine modules

Most of the machine components are maintenance-free.

The gear of the electric drive is lubricated for life-time, i.e. there is no need of
additional lubrication.

The gear of the pneumatic drive motor has to be disassembled and cleaned after
150 working hours and then be lubricated with Bosch-special grease. This proce­dure has to be repeated every 300 working hours. This service is offered by CLI­MAX.

The integrated anti-friction spline shaft has to be inspected every 1000 working
hours or every 2 years at the latest. For the inspection of the spline shaft, the bot­tom cover and the outer pipe of the machine arm have to be removed (prior to dis­assembly, remove tool location).

Page 38 VM2350-2500-2600S,C Operating Manual

The next step is to remove the set screw (31N–007) on the bottom end of the drive
shaft. The grease for lubricating the spline shaft has to be pressed through the tap
hole of the set screw until it leaks out on the bottom end of the spline shaft bush­ing.

For lubrication, please use special grease type Klüber 46MR401.

After lubricating the spline shaft, put the set screw in and secure it with glue. Then,
assemble the outer pipe of the machine arm as well as the bottom cover.

For the maintenance of the upper gear, the gear housing has to be opened. To do so,
please remove socket head screw (20N – 019) and the cover of the gear housing.
Lubricate the gear with special grease type Klüber Mikrolube GB0. Prior to clos­ing the housing, put sealing paste onto the cover mating surface.

It is recommended to have this service done by CLIMAX due to the experience
required.

Before every machine operation, the ball joint coupling of the machine spindle
should be lubricated with grease Molykote or Unimoly GL82 (Klüber).

5.2.2 Lubricating the pneumatic drive motor

The lubrication of the pneumatic drive motor is a loss lubrication.

Make sure that the lubricator of the maintenance unit is always filled with oil. Use
any oil according to SAE 10.

In addition, make sure that the pneumatic drive motor is always operated with
clean air. Check the filter on the maintenance unit regularly.

Drain condenser water is required.
