Security WARNING! - Ensure that the operator has read and understood this manual before the unit is in use. - For security reasons, any modification of the drilling/tapping unit and it’s accessories, which may affect product safety, must be approved by the manufacturers technical manager. - The unit is intended for drilling, countersinking, reaming and tapping and should not be used for any other application, unless approved by the manufacturers technical manager.
Description of the Drilling and Tapping unit The BE 48-series is a flexible electro-pneumatic unit in a modular design. The electric motor runs the spindle while the feed is pneumatic. An hydraulic feed control (hydrocheck) makes it possible to include functions such as multi wall drilling, rapid advance and automatic chip removal.

General This Drilling and Tapping Unit is designed for normal drilling, countersinking, reaming and tapping. In applications requiring high-precision hole placement or when drilling into rounded or slanted surfaces, drill bushings must be used. To be able to use the unit, it must first be installed and fitted with control equipment. Regardless of how simple the installation is performed, the unit must be fitted with necessary protective devices to avoid personal injury.

4. Connection of the electric motor is done as shown in Fig. 2. and depending on which 3-phase voltage is available. Check all the data on the electric motors data label to ensure that motor protection and connection are properly carried out. Other types of motors can occure. The electric motor must be equipped with a suitable control circuit and motor protection.

6. Drilling, countersinking or reaming: The units rapid advance and retraction movements should not exceed a speed of 100 mm/sec. (0,33 fps) to ensure smooth operation and proper signal processing. This is particularly important when the unit is equipped with a linear transducer. Regulation of the speed is possible by fitting the hoses to the units feed cylinder, Port 1 and 2, with throttle-check valves.
9. Connection of pneumatic limit switches for sensing the position of the feed spindle. The unit is delivered with plastic hose (length 2 meters (6.56 Ft)) with an outside diameter of Ø4 mm (3/16'') for connecting the pneumatic limit switches. Connection, see Fig. 5 and 7. Fig.

12. Connection of the linear transducer for sensing the position of the feed spindle. The linear transducer is a potentiometer, which is delivered with a 2 meter (6.56 Ft) long cable connected to the potentiometer with a PG9 connector, DIN 43650. To facilitate connecting the cable, the leads are marked with their respective numbers as illustrated in Fig.
Settings 1. Transition from rapid advance to working feed. Setting the transition on units equipped with pneumatic, electrical or proximity limit switches is performed with a screw, see Fig. 12, Pos. 1, which on return of the feed spindle, retracts the hydrocheck piston rod into position for the next braking.
3. Positive stop. When more exact drilling depth or reverse position is desired, the positive stop is used. The units control system must then be fitted with a time valve so that the feed spindle continues forward a short time (0,5-2 Sec.) after the pneumatic or electric impulse from the position sensor.
Tool holders and Cutting tools The unit can be equipped with the following tool holder types: (Choosen when ordering.) Key Chuck: Drill Chuck: Tapping spindle: Collet Chuck: Collet with compensation The following cutting tools can be used with drilling or tapping unit: Drilling unit BE 48: Drills, Core Drills, Shank Mills, Countersinkers, Reamers or Brotsch.
Maintenance instructions Daily inspection: 1. Ensure that the unit is free of chips and dirt that can cause disruption. 2. Ensure that the unit is running smoothly and that it is not making any unusual sounds. In the event of any abnormal noise, immediately stop the machine and cal for service staff to rectify the fault.
Oil refilling of the Hydrocheck Suitable oil quality: Hydraulic oil with a viscosity of e.g 32 cSt at +40º C (+104 F) and a high viscosity index e.g. 345. Recommended oil: Castrol, Hyspin AWH-M 32 acc. to ISO VG32. Oil quantity (filled): Ca 6,3 cl (2.22 fl.oz. (UK), 2.13 fl.oz. (US)) Oil refilling equipment: Part.
Belt tension and Transmission change out 1. Belt tension must not be too great. Slide the tensioning pulley carefully against the belt and lock with the screw in its center. Proper belt tension has been attained when the belt can be depressed approx. 20 mm (13/16'') with light pressure.
