Weighted effective value
of acceleration
The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration has been measured against standard test procedures and can be used by way of comparison with another
device. The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration can also be used as a preliminary evaluation of the exposure.
CAUTION
The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration can differ during operation from the indicated value, dependent on the manner in which the device is used.
Dependent upon the actual conditions of use (periodic duty) it may be necessary to establish safety precautions for the protection of the operator.
2. Preparations for use
CAUTION
Weights above 35 kg (77 lbs) need to be carried by two people, tool set to be
carried separately. Pay attention that during transportation and setting up of the
machine, with the stand or without it, the center of gravity is high, i.e. top heavy.
2.1. Set up of Robot 2U, 2K, 2D, Robot 3U, 3K, 3D, Robot 4U, 4K, 4D
Fasten the machine on a workbench or wheel stand (accessory) with the 3
delivered screws. For transport the machine can be lifted at the guide arms in
front and at rear with a pipe which is clamped into the hammer and guide chuck.
For transport on the wheel stand use pieces of pipe Ø ¾" with length of about
60 cm and fasten the wing screws. If the machine has not to be transported,
remove the two wheels.
Fill with 5 Itrs. of thread cutting oil.
NOTICE
Never run the machine without thread cutting oil.
2.2. Set up of Robot 2U-L, 2K-L, 2D-L, Robot 3U-L, 3K-L, 3D-L, Robot 4U-L,
4K-L, 4D-L (Fig. 2)
Fasten the machine on a workbench or stand (accessory) with the 4 delivered
screws. For transport the machine can be lifted at the guide arms in front and
at rear with a pipe which is clamped into the ham mer and guide chuck. Slide
clamping ring (10) with wing screw onto the rear guide arm so that the groove
remains empty. Put the pan onto the two bolts which are located at the lower
end of the gear housing and into the groove at the rear guide arm. Slide clamping
ring (10) against the support ring of the pan and tighten it. Hang the hose with
filter into the pan. Insert chip tray from the rear.
Fill with 2 Itrs. of thread cutting oil.
NOTICE
Never run the machine without thread cutting oil.
2.3. Electrical supply
WARNING
Before connecting the machine, check whether the voltage given on the rating
plate corresponds to the mains voltage! Only use suitable extension cables
with protective earth. The machine is switched on and off by means of the foot
switch (4). Switch (3) is used to preselect the direction of rotation and speed.
The machine can only be switched on when the emergency-off button (5) is
released and the protection switch (6) on the pedal switch is depressed. If the
machine is connected directly to the mains (without a plug), a 16 A main switch
must be installed.
2.4. Cooling lubricant
Perfect threading results, long durability of dies as well as utmost protection of
the machine are achieved with ROLLER'S cooling lubricant.
NOTICE
ROLLER'S Smaragdol cooling lubricant (containing mineral oil) is highly al loyed
and suitable for cutting pipe and bolt threads of all types. In addition, it can be
washed off with water (officially approved). Mineral oil-based cooling lubricants
are not permitted to be used on drinking water pipes in certain countries, e.g.
Germany, Austria. In this case, use ROLLER'S Rubinol, which contains no mineral
oil.
ROLLER'S Rubinol cooling lubricant is free of mineral oil, is synthetic, completely
water soluble and possesses the lubricating properties of mineral oil. Its use is
compulsory in Germany and Austria for drinking water installations and complies
with the officially applicable regulations (DVGW Approval No. DW-0201AS2031;
OEVGW Approval No. W 1.303; SVGW Approval No. 7808-649).

2.5. Material support
CAUTION
Pipes and bars longer than 2 m must be additionally supported by the height-
adjustable ROLLER'S Assistent, fitted with steel balls, posing no problems for
moving rods and pipes in all directions without tipping over the material support.
If the ROLLER'S Robot is mounted on a workbench, the ROLLER'S Herkules
Y must be used. Capacity of ROLLER'S Assistent and ROLLER'S Herkules Y:
Ø ⅛ – 4".
3. Operation
Use eye protection
3.1. Tools
The die head (12) is a universal die head. That means for all types of threads
for above mentioned sizes, divided in 2 tool sets, only one die head is required.
For cutting tapered pipe threads, the length stop (13) needs to be in the same
direction with the closing and opening lever (14). To cut cylindrical long threads
and bolt threads, the length stop (13) has to be folded away.
Changing dies
The dies can be inserted or changed with the die head mounted on the machine
or detached (i.e. on a bench). Slacken clamping lever (15) but do not remove
it. Push the adjusting disc (16) at the handle away from the clamping lever to
the far end position. In this position the dies are put in or taken out. Ensure that
the indicated size of thread shown on the back of the dies corresponds to the
size of thread to be cut. Furthermore, ensure that the numbers shown on the
back of the dies correspond with those indicated on the die holder (17).
Insert the dies into the die head as far as the ball inside the slot of the die holder
snaps in. Once all dies are set, adjust the size of thread by shifting the adjusting
disc. Bolt thread must always be set to „Bolt". Clamp the adjusting disc with
the clamping lever, close the die head by pressing the closing and opening
lever (14) down slightly to the right. The die head opens either automatically
(with tapered pipe threads), or at any time manually by slight pressure to the
left on the closing and opening lever.
If the holding power of the clamping lever (15) is insufficient (e.g. through blunt
dies) when the 2½ – 3" and the 2½ – 4" die head is in use, due to the increased
cutting force applied, with the result that the die head opens under cutting
pressure, the capscrew on the side opposite the clamping lever (15) must also
be tightened.
The pipe cutter (18) cuts pipes ¼ – 2", resp. 2½ – 4".
The reamer (19) deburs pipes ¼ – 2" resp. 2½ – 4". To avoid rotation, latch the
reamer sleeve into the reamer arm either in the front or in the back end,
depending on the position of the pipe.
3.2. Chuck
A size adjusted clamping sleeve (Art.-No. 343001) is required for sizes < 8 mm
when operating Robot up to 2", and Robot up to 4" < 20 mm. When ordering
the clamping sleeve the required clamping size needs to be provided.
Quick action hammer chuck (1), guide chuck (2)
The front quick action hammer chuck (1) with the large clamping ring and the
movable chuck jaws installed in the chuck jaw carriers ensures secure, concen-
tric clamping with the minimum of force. As soon as the material juts out of the
guide chuck (2), it should be closed.
