Climax BB5000 LINE BORING MACHINE - Manual (Page 3)

Setup and operation
a fast Six-Step process
1
Slide the bar
through the two
holes to be bored
and roughly center it with
the set-up cones. The
set-up cones are forced
into the bore with the
clamp ring jacking screw
and locked onto the bar
with a set screw.
Elapsed time: 4 minutes.
2
S lide on spherical
mounts with tack
weld plates, and
tack weld them to the
workpiece. These mounts
have spherical bearings so
they can be mounted up
to 5° out of perpendicular
alignment.
Elapsed time: 10 minutes.
3
Remove the set-up
cones and replace
the bar. The set-up
cones will adequately
center the bar, unless
you have very precise
tolerances, or need to
move the centerline of the
bore slightly. Final centering
adjustments are made with
the jacking screws.
Elapsed time: 5 minutes.
4
Slide the rotational
drive onto the bar.
Firmly push it onto
the spherical mount, and lock
it in place with one bolt.
Tighten the rear clamping
collar enough to be snug
but so the bar can slide
through it.
Elapsed time: 4 minutes.
5
The axial feed unit is
slipped onto the bar
and the leadscrew
is screwed into the pocket
on the rotational drive unit.
Tightening two clamping
collars locks the axial feed
unit to the bar.
Elapsed time: 3 minutes.
6
Insert a properly
ground tool bit into
the tool hole in the
bar, adjust for depth of cut,
and lock in place with the
set screw. Connect to power
source. Elapsed time: 5
minutes.
And there you are... ready
to begin the first boring
pass.
Total elapsed time: 31
minutes.

Setup of the BB5000 Portable Boring Machine is quick and easy.
An experienced operator can set up the machine in most typical
two-bore line boring applications in about half an hour (depending
on alignment tolerances). The three main ingredients of the quick
setup system are:
• Setup cones to roughly center the bar in the bore.
• Spherical mounts that can be quickly tack-welded in place.
• Quick-mount rotational drive unit, attaches to spherical mount in
seconds
