4.02 CUTTING OPERATIONS

Operating procedures vary widely for the many different types of jobs on which the VCM-200 is used. For this reason, no typical operating procedure is given, but the following general suggestions may be helpful.

A. Directional Control

A unique feature of the VCM-200 is the ease of operation in either direction, forward or reverse. Dual speed adjustment and clutch engagement controls are conveniently located on each end of the machine. Machine direction is set by the FWD-OFF-REV toggle switch located next to the power cord.

B. Speed Control

Set cutting speeds for straight line cuts directly on the speed indicator located on top of the VCM-200 and the VCM-200HS. The speed range is inﬁnitely variable from 1 ipm (inch per minute) to 60 ipm (VCM-200/VCM-200HT) or 5 ipm to 120 ipm (VCM-200HS). Turn the large knob on either end of the machine to position the speed indicator to the desired cutting speed. Determine the speed settings for circle cuts with the formula given on Page 12.

NOTE

Use the export (E) models of the VCM-200 Series with either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, 220 VAC power. When used with 50 Hz power, the actual speed is approximately 12% less than the indicated speed.

C. Clutch Operation

Engage the clutch by rotating one of the two clutch levers, located on either end of the machine, to the DRIVE position.

0056-1351

Machine Operation

Page 14

Safety and Operating inStructiOnS

Place the clutch lever in the FREE position to permit easy manual positioning of the machine prior to or after the actual cutting operation.

D. Torch Adjustment

The VCM-200 racking assembly provides full adjustment for the torch. The rack handle assembly permits the torch holder assembly movement toward or away from the tractor unit. The torch holder allows the torch vertical positioning. The torch pivot knuckle allows the torch positioning at any angle from ± 90° in a plane perpendicular to the track. If additional torch clearance is needed, rotate the torch holder assembly 180˚ for an additional clearance of 2 inches. After adjusting the torch to the desired position, tighten all clamping screws to prevent the torch from making any unexpected movements.

E. Straight Line Cutting

WARNING

The VCM-200 is not designed to detect the end of its track or workpiece. Be sure an unattended machine does not fall from an elevated workpiece.

Cut straight lines using the following procedure:

1. Place the machine track on the work and line it up before placing the machine on the track.

Track Accessory Information

Part No. Description

0212-0018 12-foot track section for line cutting 0212-0019 9-foot track section for line cutting 0212-0005 6-foot track section for line cutting

2. Be sure the track is long enough for the cut to be made. If not, install additional track. Connect track sections carefully. When properly connected, the machine should travel smoothly from one track section to the next.

3. Place the machine on the track. Place the clutch lever to the FREE position. Be sure that the gas hoses and the power line are long enough and free to move with the machine so that it can complete the cut properly.

4. Move the machine to the approximate point where the cut will start. Set the drive speed control to the desired cutting speed. Set the FWD-OFF-REV switch to the OFF position. Plug the power cord into a 115 AC, 60 Hz power outlet.

Safety and Operating inStructiOnS

Figure 5: Circle Cutting Setup

The radius rod and center point make it possible for the VCM-200/VCM-200HS to cut circles from 4" to 96" in diameter. Remove the two bolts located over the drive wheels in the outer case. Position the radius rod assembly on the cutting machine, re-insert the bolts and tighten securely. Adjust the radius rod assembly to the desired length.

Drill a small pilot hole or punch the center of the circle to be cut. Place the point of the center point in the center of the circle and adjust the radius rod so that the cutting torch can be properly positioned. Position the torch between the machine and the center point for small diameter circles. Position the machine between the torch and the center point for large diameter circles. Adjust the center point so that the inside driving wheel lifts slightly off the work. Loosen the caster wheel lock knobs so that the caster wheels pivot freely. The machine is now free to follow the desired radius.

NOTE

Readjust the cutting torch to its proper cutting position after making the adjustment to lift the inside driving wheel.

Cutting speeds for circle cuts are not set directly on the VCM-200 speed indicator. The indicator shows the speed of the drive wheel. The drive wheel moves along the circumference of a larger or smaller circle than the one being cut by the cutting torch. The following formula provides a

SECTION 5:

MACHINE MAINTENANCE

The Victor VCM-200, VCM-200HT and VCM-200HS cutting machines are designed to operate over extended periods with minimum maintenance. However, continued satisfactory operation of the machine depends upon the careful performance of a few simple periodic inspections and the cleaning procedures outlined in this section. With proper care, problems can usually be detected and corrected before the result in loss of machine operating time. Troubleshooting procedures are included to help diagnose and correct problems as they occur and before serious trouble occurs.

Following the inspection and troubleshooting procedures are the maintenance procedures necessary for maintaining the machine. These sections are designed to provide an understanding of the components involved and to supply additional maintenance information which cannot be noted in detail in the Troubleshooting Chart.

5.01 ROUTINE INSPECTION

Inspect the machine carefully each day before placing it in operation. Visually inspect the machine and perform the following steps, which include operating checks of all machine components. If faults or malfunctions are noted while performing these procedures, refer to the Troubleshooting Chart on Page 15. and the following maintenance procedures for the components involved.

1. Wipe off all parts of the machine, rack, torch and all track surfaces.

2. Turn the clutch control lever to the FREE position. Check to see that the machine can be easily pushed along the track.

3. Set the FWD-OFF-REV toggle switch to the OFF position. Turn the SPEED knob to 1 ipm. Plug the power cord into a 115 V, 60 Hz power outlet.

NOTE

The export (E) model of the VCM-200 Series is equipped with a step-down transformer which permits operation with 220 VAC, 50 Hz (or 60 Hz) power.

4. Set the FWD-OFF-REV toggle switch to the FWD position. With the clutch lever still in the FREE position, slowly advance the SPEED knob to 60 ipm (VCM-200) or 120 ipm (VCM-200HS). The sound level should increase as the knob is advanced. Return the FWD-OFF-REV toggle switch to the OFF position.

5. Set the clutch lever to the DRIVE position and set the FWD-OFF-REV switch to FWD. If the clutch engaging mechanism is properly adjusted, the machine should move along the track at the selected speed. Move the FWD-OFF-REV toggle switch to the REV position and verify that the machine reverses direction.

6. Check to see that the torch (or torches) can be moved up and down with the adjusting knob(s) and that the torch holder clamping screws are tight enough to maintain the

0056-1351

5-13

Machine Maintenance

Page 18

Safety and Operating inStructiOnS

selected torch position. Also, check the torch pivot knuckle to see that it's clamping screw is properly adjusted. Adjust tension of clamping screws, if required.

7. Check for free movement of the racking assembly in the rack handle by rotating the rack adjustment knob.

8. Inspect all hoses and the power cord carefully for signs of deterioration or damage. See that all hose connections to the manifold block and the torch (or torches) are secure.

9. Inspect power cord for frayed insulation or signs of damage.

10. Inspect all gas connections for leaks.

5.02 ROUTINE LUBRICATION

The only periodic inspection or maintenance required for the VCM-200, other than the inspection and maintenance covered in the daily procedures, is the following periodic lubrication procedure.

1. Redistribute the grease on the gear train and the groove in the clutch dog every 100 hours. It is not necessary to add grease. Remove the outer case cover and the inner case cover to gain access to the gear train (See Page 17, "Inner Case Removal"). Use the blade of a small screwdriver or similar object to redistribute the grease.

WARNING

Unplug the power cord before performing any maintenance on the machine. Whenever the bottom cover of the machine is removed, short out the capacitor. Capacitors hold an electrical charge even after the power has been disconnected. Touch an insulated screwdriver (plastic or rubber handle) across the capacitor terminals. DO NOT touch the metal blade of the screwdriver with your ﬁngers.

2. Keep the drive disks and cone free of grease. Clean them by wiping with a cloth dampened with a solvent that does not leave a residue. Alcohol is not an effective cleaner.

WARNING

Use solvents only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with skin or prolonged exposure to fumes. Read and follow the manufacturer's warning label for the solvent used.

3. Ball bearings or special bushings are used at all critical locations and require no greasing.

5.05 CUTTING MACHINE REPAIR

Remove the inner case from the outer case when making major repairs to the cutting machine. This is not necessary for minor work such as lubrication or clutch adjustment.

A. Inner Case Removal

Perform the following steps:

1. Unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the rack handle assembly.

3. Remove the clutch control levers from each end of the machine.

4. Remove the SPEED knobs from each end of the machine. A ﬂat washer and two (2) spring washers are provided under each SPEED knob.

5. Remove one end plate, which is held by two button head socket screws.

6. Remove the four socket head cap screws that have their heads counter-bored into the top of the outer case. These screws secure the inner case.

7. Turn the machine upside down. Loosen the caster locking knobs a few turns to clear groove in caster, then remove casters.

8. Remove the bottom cover, which is held by six slotted head screws.

Safety and Operating inStructiOnS

WARNING

Unplug the power cord before performing any maintenance. Whenever the bottom cover of the machine is removed, short out the capacitor. Capacitors hold an electrical charge even after the power cord has been disconnected. Touch an insulated screwdriver (plastic or rubber handle) across the capacitor terminals under the rubber boot. Hold the screwdriver by the insulated handle.

9. Lift the inner case assembly from the outer case. Place it beside the outer case with the wires still connected.

10. Remove inner case cover and gasket which are secured by seven slotted head screws.

11. Reverse procedures for reassembly. When reassembling the SPEED knobs, apply enough pressure to the SPEED knob to ﬂatten the spring washers and hold while tightening the set screws.

B. Rear Axle Removal

1. Remove the inner case from the outer case. (See Page 17)

2. Remove the drive wheel and the key from each end of the axle.

3. Remove the retaining ring at the end of the spring. Remove the ring by inserting a screwdriver under the ring and twist the screwdriver to pry the ring off the axle.

4. Remove the bushing on the end of the axle toward the motor.

5. Slide the axle and spring partway through the bushing hole. Remove the spring and the two (2) remaining retaining rings.

6. Slide the axle through the bushing hole and out of the clutch dog and drive gear.

7. Reverse this procedure for reassembly.

C. Transfer Shaft Removal

1. Remove the inner case from the outer case. (See Page 17)

2. Remove the capacitor which is held by two screws and a clamp.

3. Remove the retaining ring.

4. Remove the transfer shaft by sliding the entire assembly out of the inner case through the bearing mounting hole.

NOTE

The center bearing is captured on the transfer shaft and is not available separately.

D. Cone Disk,Output Disk and Worm Shaft Removal

1. Remove the inner case from the outer case. (See Page 17)

2. Remove the retaining rings and washers from both ends of the speed adjusting shaft.

Safety and Operating inStructiOnS

3. Loosen the cone block backlash adjusting cap screw using a 7/64" hex key. Gain access to the cap screw through the inner case speed indicator slot.

4. Temporarily, reinstall a SPEED knob on the speed adjusting shaft end that is farthest from the drive cone. This aids in turning the shaft to free both the shaft and the cone block assembly.

5. Lift the cone and cone block from the inner case.

6. Pull the output disk assembly from the worm shaft. Key the disk assembly to the worm shaft with a woodruff key.

7. If required, remove worm shaft retaining ring, then remove the worm shaft and outer bearing as one piece. A small spring is located inside the worm shaft. This spring provides automatic pressure adjustment for the entire disk drive.

8. Before reassembly:

a. Clean the drive disks.

b. Wipe a very thin coating of a moly grease on the shaft and key of the output

disk assembly.

9. Install the washers and retaining rings on the speed adjusting shaft. Assemble the end of the shaft that requires the spring washer ﬁrst. This allows compression of the spring washer and ease the assembly of the larger retaining ring.

10. Tighten the cone block backlash adjusting cap screw until play between the cone block and speed adjusting shaft is minimized. Loosen cap screw slightly if speed knob requires excessive turning force or cone block rotates with adjusting shaft.

11. Tighten all knob set screws securely (15 in-lb).

E. Power Cord Replacement

1. Unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the bottom cover from the machine.

3. Short out the capacitor by touching an insulated screwdriver to the capacitor terminals.

4. Disconnect the black and white power line leads and the green ground wire (See Figure 8 or 9 for VCM-200) (see Figure 10 or 11 for VCM-200HT).

5. Remove the power cord by loosening the power cord holder. We recommend that the replacement cord be Victor Part No. 0252-0058 (Use Hi-Temp cord assembly 0252-0068 for VCM-200HT). This is a cord and holder which includes the wire connectors.

6. Reconnect the power cord wires as disconnected in Step 4.

7. Tighten the strain relief bushing securely (12in-lb).

F. Switch Replacement

1. Unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the bottom cover from the machine.

3. Short out the capacitor by touching an insulated screwdriver to the capacitor terminals.

4. Disconnect the five switch leads. Four of these are the red, blue, yellow and black motor leads. The ﬁfth switch lead is the black line from the power cord. (See Figure 8)

5. Remove the jam nut on the threaded portion of the switch protruding outside of the case. Pull the switch inside the case and remove.

6. We recommend that the replacement switch be Victor Part No. 0252-0057 (Use HiTemp switch assembly 0252-0140 for VCM-200HT). This is a pre-wired switch and includes the wire connectors.

7. Install the new switch by reversing the procedure in step 5.

8. Reconnect the switch as disconnected in Step 4.

G. Motor Replacement

Victor recommends that the motor be replaced as an entire assembly. It includes the motor, mounting plate, spacer sleeve and drive disk. Purchase the assembly directly from Victor. This eliminates downtime and assures that the drive disk runs accurately.

1. Remove the inner case from the outer case. (See Page 17)

2. Short out the capacitor by touching an insulated screwdriver to the capacitor terminals.

3. Remove the rubber boot from the capacitor and disconnect the two red leads.

4. Disconnect the red, blue, black, yellow and white motor wires leading to the switch. Note that red is connected to red, blue is connected to blue, etc.

5. Remove the four socket head cap screws that mount the motor plate to the inner case. Note that the green ground wire from the power cord is secured to the case by one of the four screws.

6. Loosen the motor disk set screw, if so equipped (optional on keyed motors). Slide the disk away from the motor to allow motor plate dowels to clear the inner case.

NOTE

If the motor disk is to be re-used, DO NOT pry on back side of the disk. Remove a tight disk by bending a pry bar to reach behind the disk boss.

7. Remove the motor and drive disk assembly from the inner case.

8. Reverse this procedure for reassembly.
