8a.
If the groove diameter (“C” dimension)
is not within Victaulic specifications, the
diameter stop must be adjusted.
8b.
Unlock the depth adjuster from the depth
adjuster lock.
8c.
To adjust for a smaller groove diameter,
turn the depth adjuster counterclockwise
(as viewed from above the tool). Turn the
depth adjuster lock counterclockwise to
lock the depth adjuster in this position.
8d.
To adjust for a larger groove diameter, turn
the depth adjuster clockwise (when viewed
from above the tool). Turn the depth
adjuster lock counterclockwise to lock the
depth adjuster in this position.
NOTE:
A quarter turn either way will change the
groove diameter by 0.031 inch/.79 mm. A full
turn either way will change the groove diameter
by 0.125 inch/3.2 mm.
NOTICE
• Rotating the depth adjusters while
locked will cause premature thread wear
of the depth adjusters and cylinder ram.
9.
Prepare another trial groove, and check
the groove diameter (“C” dimension) as
described in previous steps. Repeat these
steps, as necessary, until the groove
diameter is within specification.
ADJUSTING THE ROLL GUARDS
The VE268 guards must be adjusted when
rolls are changed or when the pipe size or
wall thickness is different from previous pipe
grooved.
1.
Ensure that the proper roll set is installed
on the tool for the pipe size and material
to be grooved. Rolls are marked with the
pipe size and part number, and they are
color-coded according to the pipe material.
Refer to the applicable “Tool Rating and
Roll Selection” section.
2.
Loosen the wing nuts and move the
adjustable guards to the full up position.
Tighten the wing nuts.
3.
Set the groove diameter stop to the pipe
size and schedule/thickness to be grooved
by backing off the depth adjuster lock and
aligning the depth adjuster with the proper
pipe diameter and thickness marking. Lock
the depth adjuster in position with the
depth adjuster lock.
