MDP-15
(2) How to adjust the universal joint on the drill side
a.
Among the two setting bolts, face up the (+) one on the top. Ignore the scale other than the positions of the two
bolts. The bolt facing up is called (C), and the other facing down is called (D).
b.
Loosen (C).
Loosening angle of about 7 º eliminates about 0.01mm runout.
c.
Tighten the nut for (C).
The nut is for fixing. Tighten it firmly avoiding the bolt from turning together with the nut.
d. Turn the drill for 180º.
(D) comes to the top.
e. Loosen the nut and tighten the bolt for (D).
Tighten the bolt lightly to eliminate play. Do not yet tighten firmly. It should be different from the
normal tightening of the bolt. Later, firmly tighten with a nut.
f. Repeat the above procedure until the difference between (C) and (D) becomes within 5µm.
Final Runout Control
If one of the following points is not satisfactory, adjust the runout once again.
a. When the drill is indexed for more the 360 º, is the runout of the whole circle within 5µm?
b. Are the bolts tightened too firmly?
When the chuck is put up, does it come down automatically by itself?
When you put the chuck up and down, do you feel any resistance?
c. Is there play at Universal Joints?
Hold the universal joints at the motor side and the drill side with both hands and see if there is play by
moving it up, down, left and right. (When there is play, you will know it from the touch and sound.)
d.
After adjusting the chucking, is the runout within 5µm?
There is a possibility that runout control occurred due to defect of chucking. See if the
runout is within the range after removing the drill and redoing it once again.
