Note:
• After activation of the self-start function via the menu, the quill has to be raised once to the top
position before the first self-start begins.
• If the user is in the menu while the machine is idle, the machine will not start automatically, but
it will stop automatically when the stop point is reached.
• By default, safety features such as warning sounds and a time delay before the motor self-starts
are turned off. To activate the safety features, go to menu <Configurations>, then to menu
item <Interface settings> and <Warning information>.
<Pilot Hole>
This function enables you in most cases to skip the separate operation of drilling a pilot hole with a smaller drill bit.
When this function is activated, the machine will begin drilling at a slower speed. As soon as the machine senses
that the drill bit is well seated and grabs enough material, it will ramp up to the set run speed. The function is based
on the fact that the machine continuously checks the load on the motor and responds accordingly when the load
threshold (this value is determined by the material selection) has been reached.
To activate this function, toggle <Slow Start> to “ON”, set the start speed (250 rpm by default) and select the
material (Metal, wood or other). If you select <Metal>, the load limit will be set to the highest level; if you select
<Wood> it will be set lower; and if you select <Other>, it will be set at the lowest level.
Note:
After selection of the pilot hole function, the screen will first display that the pilot hole drilling is
initialising. When the initialisation is accomplished, the screen will display a ready message. Be
sure to wait until the pilot speed is reached and the screen displays the ready message
before drilling. If you start drilling prematurely, the load threshold will not be calculated correctly
and the drill will likely not ramp up to full speed at the appropriate time.
<Tapping Mode>
Your pillar drill has two different tapping modes. Both modes require the user to guide the tap manually. Both
programs may only be used in forward mode.
1. <Load sensor>:
This mode uses the load sensor to determine when tapping has been started and when a chip breaking
cycle has to be entered. The load sensor recognises when it is necessary to change the direction of
rotation for chip breaking. After a fixed amount of time, the direction of rotation changes again and the
cutting procedure continues. This procedure repeats until the pillar drill recognises that the tapping is
complete OR until the user presses the <ON> button.
Note:
This mode is only recommended for through holes.
