6.0 Installation Guide

Refer to the parts lists and drawings in the technical manual for part identification and orientation, as necessary.

All guards and instruction plates are installed for your safety and information and must remain on the machine as shipped from the factory.

6.1 Uncrating the Paper Drill

Unless otherwise specified, this machine is shipped in a wooden crate completely assembled. The machine should be unpacked by carefully removing the wood so as not to damage any of the machine parts. It is held onto the skid with lag bolts through the inside of machine frame. Remove the lag bolts and carefully position the machine on the floor. The machine can be safely be picked up by sliding the forks of a fork lift under the base of the machine or by removing the chip drawer and sliding the forks under the chip drawer slide brackets (take care not to hit or damage the hydraulic unit in the rear of the machine). Immediately after uncrating, check off parts received against the packing list. Also, examine for any physical signs of damage incurred during shipping. The machine is inspected before and after it is crated at our plant. The responsibility for filing a claim against the carrier for damages incurred during shipment rests with the receiver of goods (FOB our factory).

Clean all parts with a commercial cleaning solvent before installing or using the machine.

6.2 Power Hook Up

Always disconnect the power when cleaning, servicing, or lubricating your drill, see Power Lockout Procedure page 4. For satisfactory operation, be sure that your machine is wired for the correct phase and voltage and has adequate power. The correct electrical specifications for your machine are shown on the serial plate. Check the machine serial plate before connecting the power. There is a junction box located on the left side of the machine with wires for power and a ground lug. After connecting power, briefly start and stop the machine and check motors for proper rotation. If incorrect, disconnect the power and switch any two leads coming to the machine.

Watch Setup Voltage- Inadequate power to the machine can be a major source of problems. Too many machines on the same circuit will reduce the power to each machine. Inadequate voltage will frequently cause overheating, loss of power, and in extreme cases, failure to operate. Test your voltage when the shop is at actual working levels. Challenge recommends a dedicated line with a lockable disconnect to provide adequate power for this machine.

SHOCK HAZARD! Always disconnect power at main power panel before working on the machine. Lock it out to prevent accidental power up. (See Power Lockout Procedure page 4).

Important: You must have an adequate size circuit and heavy enough wiring for this machine. The circuit size should be a minimum of 20% greater than the amperage rating on the machine nameplate. If a wire is run over 75 feet (23 meters), the next size wire should be used. Check local electrical codes.

6.2.1 Three Phase Hook-Up

1. Disconnect the power at the main power panel and lock it out to prevent accidental power-up. See Power Lock-Out procedure, page 4.
2. Thread the power cord through the knock-out hole in the junction box located on the left hand side of the machine. Secure it with a conduit connector.
3. Fasten the ground lead to the ground terminal lug found in the junction box.
4. Use wire nuts to join the three power leads to the L1, L2 and L3 leads found in the junction box.
5. Close all doors and guards, unlock the main power and switch it on. Turn on the Main Power Disconnect Switch located under the table on the front of the machine. The machine should now have power.
6. Depress the start button to activate the motors and check to make sure that they are turning the same direction as the arrow on the motor casing. If they are not, disconnect the power and simply exchange any two leads of the power cord as soon below. The motor will now turn the correct direction. Double check to make sure.

Electrical Specifications for MS10B DRILL:

Volts 3 Phase: 230

Amps 13.8

Circuit Size Wire Size Metric Wire #12 4mm sq. #12 4mm sq.

Standard electrical for the MS-10B is either 208/ 230 3 phase, 60 Hz. (Unless specified other.) It is the customer’s responsibility to wire the machine for the rated voltage and current.

IMPORTANT: Select the proper transformer primary tap to match the voltage supplied to the machine.

6.3 Controls

The control panel is mounted on the top left of the machine.

The blue TABLE LIGHT push button turns the table light on and off.

The green START push button turns the spindle and pump motors on.

The red STOP push button will shut both motors off.

The MS-10B drill is equipped with a safety interlock system that prevents the machine from being run with the chip drawer removed or the spindle guard up. Also, if the cover is raised or the drawer opened while the machine is running, the motors will shut off and the machine will have to be restarted when the drawer and/or cover are back in place. This is a safety feature provided to prevent accidental contact with moving parts and must not be tampered with.

6.4 Vertical Speed

The vertical speed of the drilling head is adjusted with a control knob on the front of the machine under the table. This valve regulates the speed of the drill's downward travel. Light or soft stocks such as mimeographs, etc. are apt to wrinkle at high speeds, and the speed should therefore, be regulated to a point where the best results are obtained. This is found mostly be "trial and error"

Also, too slow speeds will cause the drill to "burn" through the paper. If burning or burnishing occurs, either increase the vertical speed and/or sharpen the drill bits. Slower vertical speeds are recommended when drilling with the maximum number of heads.

6.5 Assembly

Always disconnect the power when cleaning, servicing, or lubricating your drill, see Lock Out Procedures, page 4.

The only assembly required is to insert the drill blocks and side guide onto the table and mount the drill heads in the machine.

The wood blocks are inserted in the table slot as shown in Figure 3. The blocks should be flush with the table top, shim if necessary. The blocks can be turned around and over when worn.

6.5.2 Mounting Drill Heads

The drill heads are inserted as follows:

1. Locate the plastic cover on the right hand side of the machine. Loosen the front knob and rotate cover back to expose lock knob. (See Figure 4)

WARNING: DO NOT use this machine without having the guard shown in fig. 4 is in place.

2. Rotate the spindle lock knob until the cut out in the knob aligns with the pin in the spline shaft and pull the shaft out. (See Figure 5 & Figure 6,below)

Spline shaft lock knob.

Spline shaft knob.

Swing the front cover back unit it rests on top of the machine. Loosen the drill head clamp located on the back of the drill head. Place the head on the dovetail of the drill and slightly tighten the clamp screw. Position the head by sliding it along the dovetail and then aligning the drill head indicator with the scale and tightening the clamp screw. (Figure 7)

Insert the spline shaft through each head (you may have to rotate the spline to align the it with the drill head gear) until it seats in the left hand spline bearing. The spline must go in far enough to enable the spline lock ring to secure the spline shaft pin. Insert the spline pin into the lock ring and rotate to lock. (See Figure 5,on page 15) Close and secure plastic cover.

6.5.3 Mounting the Side Guide

The side guide is mounted to the table with the two cap screws provided. It can be positioned as necessary along the line of mounting holes in the table. After it is positioned, the guide plate can be adjusted by loosening the knurled lock nut and turning the micro-adjust knob. (Figure 8)

6.5.4 Installing/Removing the Hollow Drills

Always handle drills with care to avoid servere lacerations. Even dull drills are sharp enough to cause lacerations.

TO INSTALL : Insert the tapered head of the hollow drill into the spindle. Press the drills firmly into place so they do not fall out when the machine is started.

To prevent the drill chips from flying out, be sure that the drift hole covers (black spring bands) are over the drift holes in the spindle. (Figure 9, below)

TO REMOVE : Slide the drift hole cover to expose the drift hole in the side of the spindle. Insert the T

• handle drill drift into the hole with the flat side down and lift up. (It may be necessary to also twist the handle.) (Figure 10,below)

7.0 Operation

7.1 STARTING THE MACHINE

Two motors supply the power to the machine: one is for the hydraulic pump, the other is for driving the drill spindles. Both motors are simultaneously controlled by the start and stop buttons located on the top left of the machine. ( See Controls, pg. 13) Make sure both motors are running in the proper direction before trying to drill paper.

Never rest your foot on the foot pedal without intending to bring the

Replace all guards. Do not operate this machine with any guards removed. Severe personal injury could result.

Always wear safety glasses when operating this machine.

Note: the MS-10B drill is equipped with a safety interlock system which prevents the machine from being started with the chip drawer opened or the front plexiglass cover up. If the chip drawer is opened or the cover raised while the drill is in operation, the machine will shut off and the drills will return the full up position. After the cover or drawer is put back in place the machine can be restarted. This is a safety feature to prevent acccidental contact with moving parts and must not be altered.

7.2 OPERATING THE DRILL

After the machine is turned on, depressing the foot switch will bring the drill heads to the table. When the drills reach the bottom of the stroke, the drills will automatically return to the full up position. (Note: The vertical stroke of the drills must be set before drilling to provide the proper drill depth. See section…7.3). The foot switch must be released and depressed again before drilling the next set of holes, assuring full control and allowing no repeat stroke. By releasing the foot switch the operator can stop the downward travel of the drills at any time allowing them to return to their normal position, thus preventing costly errors. The MS-10B is capable of up to ten standard drill heads; or two triple drill heads; or two large-hole drill heads. When using standard drill heads or two triple heads, it is recommended that no more than five half-inch drill bits be used at one time. The drill heads are mounted on a dovetail in the machine and are turned by a belt driven spline shaft.

7.3 ADJUSTING THE VERTICAL STROKE

The vertical stroke of the machine determines the exact depth the drills will reach at the bottom of their stroke. Whenever installing new drills, the vertical stroke must be adjusted before drilling.

After the drill heads are installed, raise the drill heads to their full up position by turning the handwheel on top of the machine counter-clockwise until it stops. Raise the individual drill heads all the way up by turning the knurled knob on top of the heads counter-clockwise until they stop. After you inserted the drills, place a couple of sheets of the stock you are drilling on the table under the drills. Start the machine. Depress the foot switch, at the bottom of the stroke the drills should not be drilling through.

Adjust the handwheel on the top of the machine clockwise until one drill bit starts to drill through. Next, adjust the remaining drills individually with the adjusting knob on top of each drill head until all of the drills just cut through the sample. It may be necessary to adjust the handwheel slightly when drilling a full lift of stock.

The handwheel must turn with a little friction. Adjust the friction by tightening the setscrew in the upper front of the dovetail. (See Main Assembly – Front View, Ref. no. 45,46 & 47).

7.4 POSITIONING THE DRILL HEADS

The drill heads can be adjusted to a minimum center-to-center distance of 1 ¼"(3.2cm) and a maximum of 21"(53cm). To adjust the heads for the desired hole spacing, lift the top cover, locate and loosen the socket head cap screw that clamps the head to the dovetail. Slide the head to the required position using the provided scale, and tighten the clamp screw.

The MS-10B is capable of up to ten standard drill heads; or two triple drill heads; or two large-hole drill heads. When using standard drill heads or two triple heads, it is recommended that no more than five half-inch drill bits be used at one time.

7.5 POSITIONING THE BACKGAUGE

The backgauge is positioned by aligning the front edge of the backgauge with the scale that is imbedded in the table. The scale will give you the dimension from the back of the sheet to the centerline of the holes. After the backgauge is positioned, lock it in place with the two knobs provided. To drill less than 1" (25mm) from the edge of the sheet, two filler blocks (provided) must be used. The blocks attach to the face of the backgauge and are locked in place with thumbscrews. The blocks will add 1" to the face of the backgauge, remember this when using the table scale to set the position of the backgauge. Example: To drill ¾" (19mm) from the edge of the sheet, install the filler blocks and set the backgauge to 1-3/4" (4.4cm) on the scale.

7.6 EMPTYING THE DRILL CHIP BIN

A large capacity chip bin, located on the front of the machine below the table, is removed by sliding it forward and using the two cut outs in the side of the bin, lifting up, and removing the bin. The bin is safety interlocked. If it is removed while the machine is running, it will shut off. The bin must be in place for the machine to be restarted.

7.7 TOOL STORAGE

A convenient tool drawer is provided under the table for storing tools, drill bits, etc.

7.8 DRILLING TIPS

Important! To prevent the drill from overheating, always avoid drilling too slowly. The drill should be brought down as rapidly as possible allowing the drills to easily cut through the paper.

Slotted Holes - Instead of punching slotted holes for five and seven-hole universal binding work, save time and cost by drilling a 1/2 inch diameter hole in place of the slot. The slot is only intended to allow the post or ring to be used in either location, and the large hole permits this.

Plastic Bindings - Drilling holes for plastic bindings, instead of punching them, is practical and saves a great deal of time, particularly on long run jobs.

Keep Drills Sharp - A dull drill is the major cause of drill breakage and production tie-ups. Usually after three hours of drilling, depending on the type of paper being processed, the drill should be sharpened. A dull drill results in poor quality work.

Keep Drills Clean - A dirty and rusty drill will not permit the free upward passage of the drill chips. Pressure built up by a clogged drill will split or break the drill. To keep it free from dirt or rust, clean the drill of all chips after each use and apply light oil to the inside and outside. Drills should be cleaned out immediately after each use. This is particularly true if a coated or varnished stock has been drilled. On these jobs the coating on the chips frequently fuse the chips into one solid mass when the drill cools, causing breakage the next time the drill is used.

Lubricate Drills - Lubrication assists in the passage of the chips and helps avoid overheating of the drills. Use readily available stick lubricants for this purpose. Hold the end of the stick against the side of the rotating drill. Be sure to touch the cutting edge with the lubricant also. Wipe off excess oil before drilling. CARE MUST ALWAYS BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING DRILLS.

Keep Spindle Clean - Clean out the drill spindle frequently. This will prevent any buildup in the spindle of the drill.

Set the Drills Correctly - Do not cut too deeply into the cutting block. The drill should just touch the block and cleanly cut through the bottom sheet. During drilling, do not set the drill deeper into the block but change the position of the block frequently. Drilling deeper into the block dulls the drills quickly. Use a piece of chipboard underneath your stock. This will make handling the stock easier and will ensure that the last sheet is cut cleanly through.

Check for Drill Wobble - If the spindle is badly worn or bent through mis-adjustment, have it replaced immediately. A wobbly or loosely held drill will break.

Check Your Drill Sharpener - The cutting edge of the sharpening bit should be inspected frequently to make certain that it is sharp and free of nicks. Never let a drill drop onto the sharpening bit. It will chip the sharpening edge. Use gentle pressure when sharpening - let the sharpening bit do the work. Check the sharpness of the drill after sharpening. The cutting edge should be razor sharp.

Just a little time and effort taken with each use of your paper-drilling machine should result in trouble free operation over many years.

7.9 Routine Maintenance

Production losses can be reduced if good maintenance practices are followed. suggestions may be helpful:

1. Recognize the fact that the user of hydraulic equipment has more control over maintenance than the manufacturer.
2. Technicians should be familiar with use, care, and limitations of the equipment. Technicians and/or maintenance personnel SHOULD READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY.
3. Use properly trained maintenance personnel.
4. Establish a program of systematic preventative care for your equipment or put this machine on an existing preventative maintenance program.
5. Analyze and isolate trouble before having any part of the equipment dismantled.
6. Be aware of how your machine should sound and perform. If the machine is not operating properly or if it doesn’t “sound right”, stop running your job immediately and try to identify the problem.
7. Call the dealer for any problems that cannot be handled by your own personnel.

Always handle drills with care to avoid severe lacerations, even dull drills are sharp enough to cause lacerations.

1. Keep drills sharp! Sharpen drills often and reset the drill depth if needed.

2. Lubricate the hollow drills frequently with the Drillease provided.

3. For better hollow drill life, remove the drills when not in use and soak in light oil. Wipe off excess oil before drilling.

4. Oil the vertical gibs through the two oil ports in the top cover of the machine. Wipe excess oil from the bottom of the gibs.

5. Wipe off excess grease from the spline shaft and drill heads.

1. Spray the chip chute with silicone spray to prevent the drill chips from sticking and piling up.

2. Grease the drill heads with the grease gun provided in the tool kit.

8.2 Drill Ease

This lubricating stick provides a dry stainless lubricant, which has many uses throughout the printing plant. It is specially recommended for use on hollow drills for easier drilling, particularly when drilling clay-coated stock. It eliminates binding and excessive heating of the drill. Will not discolor the stock.

CARE MUST ALWAYS BE TAKEN WHEN USING STICK AND HANDLING DRILLS.

8.3 Challenge Drilling Blocks

8.4 Hollow Drill Hand Sharpener

For fast, easy drill sharpening

Drills are sharp even after use. Be careful to keep edge away from your body. To prevent personal injury and/or damage to the drill, ALWAYS keep drills in protected area.

Here’s a unit that really makes drill sharpening easy. All you do is place the hollow drill in the tapered end of the drill holder, insert the unit on the cylinder, then turn two or three times...and you have a perfectly sharpened drill.

This Challenge Hollow Drill Sharpener can pay for itself many times over through longer drill life, easier, faster drilling, and less sharpening time. All sizes of drills from 1/8 to 1/2 inch in diameter can be sharpened.

The drill sharpener automatically puts just the right amount of bevel on the hollow drill for the best drilling results. It’s self-centering, too, so that the center of the sharpening bit exactly meets the center of the hollow drill. The drill sharpener also has a replaceable sharpening bit.

CHIP REMOVER

1. CAREFULLY place a hollow drill in the holder section as shown, and insert the holder (with drill) into the chip remover end as shown.

Firmly tap the entire assembly on a solid surface to remove the chips from the hollow drill.

Note: The chip remover can only be used with hollow drill diameters of 3/16" and larger.

DRILL SHARPENER

1. CAREFULLY place a hollow drill in the holder section as shown, and insert the holder (with drill) into the sharpener end as shown. Be very careful to bring the drill and cutting tool together with out bumping. The cutting tool is made of GLASS HARD material and may be chipped.

USE CLOCKWISE ROTATION while maintaining an even pressure, until the hollow drill is sharpened (usually two or three turns). The cutting tool seldom requires replacing, but when it does become necessary, the bit can be ordered through your Challenge Dealer (p/n 4952)

8.5 Handy - Sharp - Hollow Drill Sharpener

Features:

Spring- loaded pressure prevents flaring the end of the hollow drill bit. Light and portable, easy to use. Clamps onto a bench or table. Repairs "far-gone bits"

The Handy - Sharp mounts on the edge of a table or bench. A dull hollow drill bit is placed in the holder, and the cutting bit is pushed against the end of the hollow drill bit until its spring bottoms out. The spring prevents excessive force from being applied while sharpening. Turning the handle while applying a hone produces a fine edge.

Maintaining a sharp hollow drill bit has two distinct benefits. First sharp bits increase the life of your drilling machine by reducing the force required to drill, thereby minimizing wear and tear on the machine. Second, dull hollow drill bits are more likely to break or flare, costing money and creating downtime.
