10.5. Adjust the drilling speed

Note! The per hard workpiece, the smaller the operating speed! The better the tool, the more largely the operating speed!

Adjust the drilling speed vertically

The vertical production machine works with a increased, not adjustable setting speed and a steplessly adjustable working speed.

The vertical operating speed could be controlled by adjusting the throttle. A rotation in the clockwise direction decreases the operating speed.

Adjust the drilling speed horizontal

The horizontal production machine works with only a steplessly adjustable speed. Setting speed = operating speed. The vertical operating speed could be controlled by adjusting the throttle. A rotation in the clockwise direction decreases the operating speed.

12. Maintenance

Note! Professional maintenance facilitates a trouble-free and efficient production flow.

Some of the detailed tasks are highly dependent on the level of use and ambient conditions. Different maintenance cycles may be required in individual cases.

12.1. Maintenance schedule

Important! Maintenance work may only be carried out if the machine has been

correspondingly secured. This means: The master switch on the electrical switching cabinet must be positioned to 0

and the machine must be isolated from the compressed air supply.

After receiving suitable training, the operating personnel can undertake these tasks

autonomously in accordance with the following table and the intervals given.

Interval Description / task

Daily or

always before use

Check of all safety equipment for function and completeness.

Clean machine of coarse shavings. No not use compressed air for this, rather, use a suitable extraction system.

Daily or always after use

Secure the machine against unauthorised usage (padlock)

Weekly, or as required

Drain filter pressure-reducing-valve, to do so, isolate machine from compressed air supply (semi-automatic draining) (see chapter 12.1.1)

Clean guide columns and lightly grease with commercially-available grease.

Check the settings display by means of a test bore

Functional check of side guides, clean if necessary.

Monthly

Positional check of the insertion matrices

Annually

The multiflex has proven its durability in several fatigue tests. However, in order to ensure many years of optional functionality, it is recommended to have the machine serviced by an experienced customer services engineer every 1 - 3 years, depending on duration of use.
