Radial Drilling Machines

The main castings of the Ajax TR40 and TM50 radial arm drilling machines are high quality cast iron, reinforced by a system of crossed ribs and boxed sections. All castings are hardened to 200-220HB. The column for the TR40 is a vertical rotating column with manual clamping as standard, hydraulic clamping being an option on this machine.

The column for the TM50 consists of two parts, the inner section being fixed to the base. The outer section rotates and is locked by a collar with double cone inner section.


This system allows smooth rotation of the column and avoids angular deflection of the spindle axis when clamping is activated. A safety device prevents the arm from dropping in the event of excess wear of the arm raising nut and semi automatic lubrication system provides lubrication for both column and elevating screw.

 
Spindle:
The spindle and quill are manufactured from special forged steel and are constructed to reduce vibration to a minimum. The quill is machined with utmost accuracy and the teeth cut from the solid, and is also ground to ensure maintained accuracy for the feed rate. The spindle is mounted in double row roller and thrust bearings protected by a grease seal. The spindle is secured by an anti-vibration lock-nut at the top of the spindle. The spindle and quill assembly are fitted with a counter-weight providing uniform smoothness of the entire stroke, the quill over-travel is obliviated by a special safety device. An arm raising and lowering special safety device prevents over-travel.
Headstock:
The headstock is a totally enclosed unit including the gearing for the spindle speeds and feeds. The 12 spindle speeds are obtained through a two speed motor which includes forward and reverse by a rotary switch. The spindle drive is obtained through a clutch lever indicating positions A and B and the spindle safety selector in each band is selected through a rotary dial at the side of the headstock. The spindle speeds can be hanged while the spindle motor is running by means of a multi-change disc clutch which also allows the reversal of the spindle during tapping operations. The spindle feeds (4 for model TR40, 5 for model TM50) are selected by the engagement of a single feed selector knob situated on the front of the headstock. The feed mechanism also provides a depth stop mechanism. All gears are made of nickel chrome steel and are hardened and ground, with lubrication provided by an automatic lubrication pump.
Hydraulic Clamping:
Hydraulic clamping on the model TR40 is optional, but supplied as standard on the model TM50. Clamping of the head, column and arm is actuated by a hydraulic unit operated by push buttons, the hydraulic system being divided to allow the operator to move the arm vertically without affecting the spindle alignment and similarly unlock the head or column independently.

Electrical System:
The electrical control panel is located on the back of the arm in compliance with the CE norm, all machines being provided with DC injection brake and low voltage lighting as standard.

Coolant Equipment:
Coolant equipment is supplied as standard and consists of a motor driven pump complete with piping to the drill point and return piping to the sump.
