APPLICATION DESCRIPTION:
An industrial racking manufacturer requires a method of boring numerous inline holes into
stands up to 10 feet in length. Hole locations and spacings change from lot to lot, therefore, it is
necessary to provide for quick and easy changes of hole positions.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:
• Single-axis system
• Controller output to initiate plunge and drilling operation, input on completion
• 10-foot stroke
• Easy-to-use operator panel interface
TOL-O-MATIC SOLUTION:
This customer was very concerned about minimizing noise, therefore more interested in dc
rather than stepper systems. Torque and speed requirements could be satisfied with either
brush or brushless systems. Since their shop was currently using a number of brush motors
and they were accustomed to brush replacement, the MRB brush motors with the MSCLDC
controller/brushed servo motor driver was the perfect low cost solution. The PIT panel mount
interface was set up to prompt the user for the first hole index, hole spacing and number of
holes, providing an operable system for even the most unexperienced users. In order to provide
the long strokes and support the moment load generated when drilling at locations up to 5 feet
from the carrier, the B3B20 was selected.
