What is what
The machine can be divided into two main parts. These can be identified as follows:
1.Chassis/Frame section – comprising handle bars, electrical cabinet, steel frame and wheels.
2.Head – comprising of motors, cover, grinding/satel- lite/
planetary heads and internal components.
The machine has been manufactured to allow move- ment between the chassis and head via the connection point at the lifting lugs and chassis pins. This move- ment is important during the grinding process as it creates a “floating” effect for the head.
The floating gives the head a
Control panel
The control panel consists of a number of switches and dials giving 8 separate controls (see picture).
Power - This button, when depressed, will turn on power supply to the unit when the EMERGENCY STOP button has been released.
Emergency Stop - When pushed will immediately shut down machine by totally stopping power supply to drives/ frequency converters in electrical cabinet.
Head Speed - Direction control for planetary head rota- tion.
Fwd/Rev (Yellow) - Direction control for planetary head rotation.
Disc Speed - Speed control for grinding heads.
Fwd/Rev (Red) - Direction control for grinding heads.
Reset - Will clear fault function/error message on drive/frequency converter (located in electrical cabinet) in case of fault occurring.
Stop/Run - To start or stop machine during normal operation.
IMPORTANT!
It is important to use the STOP/RUN switch to control the running of the machine, not the EMERGENCY STOP button. Each time the EMERGENCY STOP button is pressed it shuts down the drive/frequency converter. Frequently powering up and down of the drive/frequency converter will reduce the life span of the drive/ frequency converter.
IMPORTANT!
Planetary head and grinding heads are set to both turn in the same direction (i.e. both in clockwise rotation or both in
Clockwise rotation of speed control will in- crease speed of planetary head and grinding heads.
