  • Page 14: General Safety Precautions

    ENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CLIMAX leads the way in promoting the safe use of portable machine tools and valve testers. Safety is a joint effort. You, the end user, must do your part by being aware of your work environment and closely following the operating procedures and safety precautions contained in this manual, as well as your employer’s safety...

  • Page 15: Machine - Specific Safety Precautions

    Moving parts – CLIMAX machines have numerous exposed moving parts and interfaces that can cause severe impact, pinching, cutting, and other injuries. Except for stationary operating controls, avoid contact with mov- ing parts by hands or tools during machine operation. Remove gloves and secure hair, clothing, jewelry, and pocket items to prevent them from becoming entangled in moving parts.

  • Page 16: Risk Assessment And Hazard Mitigation

    Due to the unique nature of portable machining applications, identifying one or more hazards that must be addressed is typical. When performing the on-site risk assessment, it is important to consider the Porta- ble Machine Tool and the workpiece as a whole. Page 4 VM2350-2500-2600S,C Operating Manual...

  • Page 17: Risk Assessment Checklist

    ISK ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST The following checklist is not intended to be an all inclusive list of things to watch out for when setting up and operating this Portable Machine Tool. However, these checklists are typical of the types of risks the assembler and operator should con- sider.

    Section 4, and Section 5 must be met to ensure a safe operation of the Globe Valve Grinder. Any faults during the warranty period will be recovered according to CLIMAX’s terms of warranty. Excluded are damages due to dismantling the machine by cus- tomer’s maintenance personnel.

  • Page 20: Components

    Each planet grinding wheel covers a wide working range. To adjust the wheel to the machining diameter, the planet arms can be moved into the planet wheel guides. The planet arms are clamped with one screw quick clamping system. Page 8 VM2350-2500-2600S,C Operating Manual...
  • Page 21 The abrasives are put onto the grinding discs which are mounted to the planet arms. This system ensures a quick change from grinding with abrasives to CBN- grinding discs or to lapping discs. Prior to the machining operation, the Globe Valve Grinder has to be mounted to the globe valve body by means of an universal clamping device (included in basic scope of supply).

  • Page 39: Operation

    CAUTION All cables and hoses for the machine power supply have to be covered or installed in such manner that no person can stumble. Before connecting the machine to the power supply, check all cables and hoses for damages. For grinding and lapping operation, always wear eye protection glasses.
  • Page 40 The speeds marked on the electric drive housing indicate the speed of the electric drive motor itself and not the speed of the valve grinder’s spindle. To get the spindle speed of the valve grinder, these figures have to be divided by 3.6. Page 28 VM2350-2500-2600S,C Operating Manual...
  • Page 41 The electric drive motor also has a switch for a percussion drill function. This switch is located at the side of the electric drive housing. However, for the general function of the valve grinder, this switch and its function is not required. The machine should always run in drilling mode (symbol = drill) and never in per- cussion drill function (symbol = hammer).
  • Page 42 The grinding pressure can be adjusted with the ratchet of the in-feed mech- anism. The grinding pressure is indicated on top of the upper gear housing (see 4.5.0.1). After adjustment of grinding pressure, the flap of the centre module has to be tightened again. Page 30 VM2350-2500-2600S,C Operating Manual...

  • Page 43: Change Of Abrasives

    For lapping operation, make sure that sufficient lapping paste is put onto the sur- face to be machined. For grinding operation, make sure that the abrasive is still in proper condition. Always change abrasives in time, otherwise it might result into poor performance: •...

  • Page 44: Change Of Mounted Drive Motor

    For a machine with pneumatic drive, this screw is not provided since the drive only rotates in clockwise direction. To take the coupling off, the motor spindle has to be blocked with a fixed spanner (size 19 mm). 4-24. D IGURE ISCONNECTION OF COUPLING Page 32 VM2350-2500-2600S,C Operating Manual...

  • Page 45: Mounting Of New Drive Motor

    4.8.2 Mounting of new drive motor To mount a new drive motor, the coupling has to be connected to the ½” – 20 UNF-2A thread of the motor spindle. Due to the fact that the electric drive motor offers spindle rotation in both directions, the coupling has to be secured with a left- hand threaded screw (see 4.7.1.2).
