6.5m, Extension, Upgrade

Introduction

This procedure describes how to upgrade a flowline to increase the standard capacity from 6.0m to 6.5m.

The procedure involves extending the machining centre outfeed travel and saw infeed travel base to 6.0m to cope with a longer rail on each side. These are generally supplied as a new part.

Other ancillary parts that will need extending

• Cables
• Energy Chains

Étape 1 - Remove Guarding

Isolate power to extraction motor and disconnect cable, remove floor bolt nuts from feet and separate ducting so that extraction unit can be moved.

Once moved, disconnect all guarding to the far end of multi outfeed and saw infeed (pictured).

Remove rear guarding support box section beam.

Étape 2 - Replacing Journals and covers

Étape 3 - Remove Hepco rails

Remove both SX and X axis rear limit stops, then detach both Hepco rails by removing the 6mm caphead bolts (pictured).

Once rails are removed, they can be separated into shorter lengths by knocking out the dowel pins towards the centre sections.

Étape 4 - Prepare Hepco support base surface

Clean and remove any dirt/grease/imperfections on the box section ready the the new rails.

If any of the tapped holes are compromised, re-tap 6mm.
