DRILLING HYDRAULICS

training ADJUSTMENT / ANTI--JAMMING PRESSURE

PRESSURE SETTINGS OF ANTI--JAMMING

The activation pressure of the anti-- jamming automatics can be adjusted according to
rock type. The range recommended by the manufacturer is 110 to 140 bar, and the
factory setting is 120 bar. The activation pressure is adjusted with the anti--jamming
valve (34), and it can be done during drilling. However, the adjustment is recommended
to be done as follows:

1. Loosen the locking nut of the anti--jamming valve (34) adjusting screw.
2. Turn the anti--jamming valve (34) adjusting screw first fully closed (clockwise), and
open it then 2 turns (counterclockwise).
3. Start the powerpack.
4. Run the rock drill against the rear stopper.
5. Adjust the max. pressure of the rotation pump (see “Adjusting variable displacement
pump (50)”) to the desired anti--jamming activation pressure (factory setting 120 bar).
6. Stop the powerpack.
7. Turn the rotation speed regulating valve (59) closed (clockwise).
8. Plug the pressure side hose of the feed cylinder.
9. Prevent the drill rod from rotating (drilling rotation).
10. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M3 of the anti--jamming/return
automatics block.
11. Start the powerpack.
12. Lock the control levers of rotation and feed pilot control valves (58) and (31) to the
back position.
13. Adjust the anti--jamming valve (34) so that it directs feed pilot control pressure at the
set pressure to the measuring point M3 of the anti--jamming/return automatics block.
Read the feed pilot control pressure in the pressure gauge installed in the measuring
point M3.
14. When the anti--jamming valve (34) is correctly adjusted, lock the adjusting screw of
the valve (34).
15. Release the control levers of rotation and feed pilot control valves (58) and (31).
16. Stop the powerpack
17. Remove the tool preventing the drill steel from rotating.
18. Remove the plugs from the feed cylinder pressure side feed line (Cf. point 9)
and reconnect the hose to the feed cylinder.
19. Adjust the max. pressure setting of the rotation pump back to 180 bar.
(see “Adjusting variable displacement pump (50)”)
20. Start the powerpack.

21. Turn drilling rotation on again by locking the control lever of rotation pilot control
valve (58) in the back position.
22. Adjust the drill rod rotation speed to the desired value by turning the rotation speed
regulating valve (59) counterclockwise.
23. Release the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58).
24. Stop the powerpack.
25. Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point M3 for the anti--jamming/re-
turn automatics.
