NOTICE
The BB3000 will line-bore internal diameters from 1-1/2" to 5" (38 to 127 mm). The
machine has a 10" (254 mm) stroke and provision for mounting the cutting tool at
several positions along the 72” boring bar.
Electric motors complete with mounting accessories are available in 120VAC and
230VAC versions.
The standard product offers two electric motor options:
• Variable speed, 2-speed gearbox, 120 VAC, 7.4 amps.
Free speed range at the bar: Low 88-114 RPM. High 170-120 RPM
• Variable speed, 2-speed gearbox, 230 VAC, 3.5 amps.
Free speed range at the bar: Low 94-114 RPM. High 180-220 RPM
The 230 VAC motor is CE approved.
WARNING
Due to the risk of electrical shock do not use this motor where it is
exposed to moisture.
The Stanley 1.22 hp pneumatic motor will deliver 42 ft-lb of torque at the bar at 100
rpm. At this speed, the motor is operating at optimum efficiency and the machine
removes metal at its maximum rate. The air motor requires air flow of 30 ft3/min at
90 psi.
For your added safety and protection, the BB3000 Portable Boring Machine is
equipped with an air control valve having a brightly colored oval handle which
clearly indicates airflow direction.
Quick disconnects between the incoming air supply line and the machine enables the
operator to quickly shut down the machine if necessary.
CAUTION
The air filter and lubricator supplied with the machine must be used
to protect the pneumatic systems and maintain the machine
warranty. The lubricator is set to deliver oil at a rate of 2-4 drops
per minute.
CAUTION
If the machine stops moving unexpectedly, lock out the pneumatic
safety valve located at the filter lubricator assembly before
performing any troubleshooting.
The 1-1/4" (31.8 mm) diameter, 72" (1829 mm) long boring bar is chrome plated
1045.
CAUTION
A nicked or gouged boring bar can damage mating parts. Protect
the bar and exercise caution when handling or sliding it through the
work piece.
Standard bars come in 48, 72, 96 lengths with either 10" or 6" hole spacing. Custom
lengths and holes spacing can be ordered on request.
On standard machines, these tool-bit holes are 3/8” square. For the metric version,
tool-bit holes are 10mm square.
FIGURE 7 – BORING BAR WITH SQUARE HOLES FOR STANDARD TOOL BITS
TIP
Other bar lengths to suit your special requirements are available by
calling Climax toll free at 1-800-333-8311
Self-aligning spherical bearings allow for as much as five degrees out of alignment.
They attach to brackets for securing the boring bar to the work during operation. In
most applications, spacers and tack plates are welded or clamped in place to facilitate
mounting.
TIP
Before proceeding, make it a habit to check the bar for nicks, cuts,
or abrasions. Dress the bar smooth if necessary and Wipe it clean
with solvent to remove dirt and chips.
Figure 8 is a typical setup arrangement using spacers at both the left and mid
spherical mounts and no spacer at the right mount. This setup provides rigidity for
many job configurations. Spherical bearing mounts allow for some self-alignment of
the boring bar.
A typical setup for machining a blind hole is shown in Figure 10. You will require
longer screws for this special setup using 3” spacers.
TIP
You may require longer screws for special setups such as shown in
Figure 10 using 3” spacers
Allowing for other considerations, to reduce sag and minimize tool chatter, mount
bearing supports as close as possible to the bores being machined.
To determine how many bearing supports are needed do the following proceedure:
• Use one bearing support at each end of the bar.
• Add extra intermediate bearing supports if in-line holes being bored are more than
18" (457 mm) apart overall.
• If any section of unsupported bar length is greater than 30" (457 mm), mount
additional intermediate bearing supports onto the bar.
CAUTION
Wooden devices are at risk when placed next to a hot work piece.
Allow welded work to cool before setting up the machine.
TIP
These guidelines specifically discuss the use of Climax’s standard
setup cones. Of course, the same setup principles can be adapted
to work just as well with your own improvised rough-aligning
methods
1. Clean the work piece with solvent to remove grease, oil, and dirt.
2. Carefully slide the bar through the holes to be bored.
3. Slide a setup cone onto each end of the bar.
4. Slide the standard clamp collar on one end of the bar and lock it in place behind
the setup cone
5. Retract the set screws in the other clamp collar until the tips are below flush. Slide
it on the bar with the setscrew tips facing the back of the cone.
6. Pull on the bar from the other end while guiding both cones snuggly into the bore.
7. Using the 2 setscrews in the clamp collar, push the cone into the bore until there is
no movement in the bar or the cones.
8. Holding both cones close to the bore, lock the second clamp collar on the bar.
9. As shown in Figure 12, center the bearings in the bearing supports:
a. Loosen the hex bolts holding the bearing to the bracket.
b. Adjust the four setscrews to center the bearing.
c. Tighten the hex bolts.
1. Slide outer bearings onto the bar, one from each end.
2. Mount spacers and tack plates to the bearing supports.
1. Secure the bearing supports and tack plates to the work piece with clamps or by
tack welding as indicated in Figure 14.
WARNING
The tack plate welds must be strong enough to support 1200 lbs.
Failure to secrure tack weld plates with recommended load could
result in serious injury.
2. If welding is your preferred method, for each bearing support, mark the location
where tack plates contact the work surface.
3. Slide the bearing supports clear of the work piece and grind away any rust or
paint to prepare a clean surface for welding.
4. Protect the bar and supports from any weld splatter.
5. Weld tack plates to the work piece, ½” x ½” in two or more places.
6. With bearing supports securely attached by clamps or by welding, loosen the
screws holding the setup cones in place.
7. Make sure that the bar slides freely through all bearing supports before removing
the setup cones.
8. Remove the temporary clamps, if used.
9. Loosen clamp collars holding the setup cones.
10. Remove the bar from the brackets and remove the setup cones and clamp collars.
11. Carefully reinstall the bar through the brackets.
1. Crank the feed rack through the RDU main body, and secure it with the socket
head cap screw to the clamp collar at the loose end of the torque scissors.
2. Tighten the setscrew on the rack. Turn the crank handle while tightening the
socket head set screw until moderate resistance is felt.
3. Slide the RDU onto the bar and bearing support until the clamp collar fits over the
spherical bearing. Tighten the socket-head cap screw in the clamp collar to 35-40
ft-lbs (48-54 N m).
WARNING
Remove crank handle when using auto-feed.
4. The rotational drive unit includes a clamp collar that grips the bar. Tighten its cap
screw to at least 60 ft-lbs (82 N•m).
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, or damage to the machine do not
reverse the direction of the motor while running.
To feed away from the bearing support, push the feed shaft on the side of the main
body with the arrow pointing away from the torque scissors.
To feed toward the bearing support, push the feed shaft on the side of the main body
with the arrow pointing toward the torque scissors.
TIP
With both shaft pins totally disengaged from their detent slots, the
feed system is in NEUTRAL and can be hand cranked in either
direction.
FIGURE 17 – HSS TOOL BITS WITH RECOMMENDED RAKE AND CLEARANCE ANGLES
WARNING
When setting up, or servicing the machine disconnect the power
source.
For smaller bores, 1-1/2" to 3-1/4" (38 to 83 mm), the tool bit is mounted directly in
the boring bar as shown in Figure 18. Larger inside diameters require the use of a
boring head as illustrated in Figure 19.
For diameters 3-1/4" to 5" (83 to 127 mm), use the tool head with tool bit shown in
Figure 19. Secure the tool head on the bar with the socket-head cap screw.
TIP
Climax offers a bore-measuring device especially for setting the
tool bit height and checking the actual bore diameter.
4. Tighten the setscrew to secure the tool bit then make sure accuracy of the setting.
5. Select the auto feed direction. See “Setting auto feed” for detailed information.
WARNING
Electrical equipment can shock or cause an explosion if used near
wet or flammable materials. Do not operate the motor if it is damp
or exposed to combustible materials.
CAUTION
For machines with air motors, if the machine stops moving
unexpectedly, lock out the pneumatic safety valve located at the
filter lubricator assembly before performing any troubleshooting
7. Set the feed rate. See “Setting the feed rate” for information.
8. After machining the bore, turn off the motor.
9. If necessary, adjust the tool bit cutting depth and repeat the preceding steps as
required.
TIP
DO NOT attempt to control motor speed by adjusting air line
pressure.
