3 SETUP
Before proceeding with set-up of the BB6100, determine the best placement of each
module on the bar. The RDU and tool head assemblies can be located anywhere
along the bar. Make sure to allow space for them while planning your set-up.
TIP:
A suitable lifting device is critical in the safe setup of the machine.
Whenever possible, use a crane or hoist that provides smooth
control and fine adjustment such as a hydraulic lift or two-stage
winch. A device that is unstable, erratic, or difficult to maneuver
can be awkward and consequently put the operator and equipment
at risk.
TIP:
In many applications, the machine is effectively set-up using only
common measuring devices such as a steel rule or tape measure.
On those occasions when more precise alignment and accurate
machining is called for, plan to have the following additional tools
on hand:
Magnetic base dial indicator
Machinist’s precision level
Dial or digital slide calipers
3.1 Clamp collars
The clamp collars (P/N 25010) must be used to secure the bar when the machine is in
the vertical orientation.
This will prevent the bar from sliding through the support bearings or falling.
To prevent over tightening of the bearings, the clamp collars should be placed above
at least two support bearings in a vertical orientation. ID mounted bearings (P/N
54355, 92850) should not be used to support the boring bar in the axial direction.
DANGER
To prevent the bar from sliding through the support bearings, or
falling, use the two clamp collars provided in the tool kit when using
the boring bar in a vertical orientation. Torque to 25 ft.-lbs (34 mm).
3.2 About Boring Machine Support
At least two bearing supports are required to obtain machine stability.
