Series BEP 22 and BEFP 22

Product catalog summary
Declaration of Incorporation: The BEP22x and BEFP22x models are partly completed machinery intended for integration into larger systems compliant with the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. They should not be used until the complete machinery complies with the directive.
Safety Instructions: Operators must read and understand the manual before use. Any modifications affecting safety require manufacturer approval. The unit is designed for specific applications like drilling and reaming, and protective devices must be installed to prevent injuries. Maintenance requires disconnection from power sources.
General Recommendations: Regular monitoring and maintenance are advised to prevent damage. Visual inspections and operational tests should be conducted to ensure functionality. Repairs should be conducted in a safe environment in case of accidents.
Manufacturer Information: The unit is manufactured by E2 Systems, a division of Tubex AB, located in Borås, Sweden. Contact details are provided for further inquiries.
Device Management: The BEP22-series units weigh between 4.7-6.7 kg and should be securely mounted to prevent injuries from falling.
Description of the Drilling Unit: The units consist of a vane motor, pneumatic cylinder, and hydraulic system, featuring a precision chuck and adjustable stroke length. Key components and their functions are detailed.
Installation Instructions: The unit must be installed in compliance with the Machine Directive 2006/42/EC. Proper air supply and protective measures are necessary, and the unit should be mounted on a stable surface with appropriate screws.
Attachment and Mounting: E2 Systems recommends using their mounting clamps. The unit can be mounted vertically or horizontally, with considerations for feed force when using multi-spindle heads.
Cutting Tools and Settings: Various cutting tools can be used, and the unit can be fitted with different chucks. Instructions for setting drilling depth and stroke length are provided.
Specifications and Adjustments: The document outlines adjustable features of the drilling units BEF 22 and BEFP 22. The rapid feed length is adjustable, with one revolution on the adjusting nut corresponding to a 1 mm reduction in rapid feed duration. For the BEFP 22 series, the first 15 mm of feed is designated for rapid feed, with the remaining 45 mm following standard conditions. The working feed rate is set using an adjusting screw based on drill diameter and material.
Limit Switches: The drilling units are equipped with pneumatic and electric limit switches. Pneumatic limit switches use micro-valves that provide signals when the spindle is in home or return positions. Electric limit switches use micro-switches connected to a 7-pole plug, providing signals in both home and return positions. Adjustments to limit switches require specific procedures to ensure proper function.
Installation and Function: The units require a constant air supply of 3-7 Bar, with no oil-mist lubrication needed. The micro-valves and micro-switches provide signals for spindle positions, and adjustments involve specific steps to ensure correct activation.
Maintenance Instructions: Daily, weekly, monthly, and bi-annual checks are outlined to ensure optimal operation. These include checking air pressure, oil levels, lubrication, and cleaning. Every 12 months, an overhaul and cleaning of the air motor are recommended.
Technical Information: Detailed technical specifications are provided, including thrust, power, stroke, spindle spacing, and air consumption. Speed and torque data for various models are included, emphasizing the importance of maintaining specific operating conditions.
Spare Parts and Replacement: A comprehensive list of spare parts is provided, along with instructions for replacing components like the chuck. Part numbers and descriptions are included for easy identification and ordering.
Conclusion: This technical document provides detailed instructions and specifications for the operation, adjustment, and maintenance of the BEF 22 and BEFP 22 drilling units. It emphasizes the importance of regular maintenance and proper adjustments to ensure efficient and safe operation.
Parts List and Specifications: The document lists various components such as V-seals, O-rings, planetary gears, bearing kits, silencers, chip screens, and various screws and fittings. Each part is identified by a position number, quantity, description, and part number.
Warranty Conditions: The warranty covers 4,000,000 drilling cycles or 12 months after installation, or 18 months after delivery, whichever comes first. The warranty is void if unauthorized modifications are made that could compromise safety.
Environmental Declaration: The drilling unit consists of materials such as aluminum, brass, steel, and rubber. Disposal instructions specify that metal parts should be treated as metal waste, gaskets as combustible waste, and hydraulic oil as hazardous waste.
Disclaimer: Information in the manual is subject to change without notice, and E2 Systems is not liable for errors or omissions. Manufacturing changes may occur that are not reflected in the manual.

General recommendations - Apply a system for monitoring the tool in the machine. If no such system is at hand, we recommend user/operator to frequently control the tool. To ensure that no damages occurred. Thorough review of the unit Visual control of any external damages. Ensure there is possibility to quickly turn off the motor and air-supply and run a normal cycle without tool and material (to avoid further damages at the material and unit). Listen for noise from bearings and also control the run-out at the spindle nose. If not ok, unit has to be repaired and a new control for damages will...

Drilling unit with automatic chip removal Function. First the drilling unit performs a partial drilling according to a preset time. The feed is then interrupted for chip removal, I e the spindle is returning quickly to the home position and then immediately starts a new partial drilling with rapid feed to the previous drilling depth, etc. The number of chip removal operations depends on the combination of working feed rate and time. When the preset drilling depth has been reached, the drilling cycle is completed and the drilling unit returns to the home position. The drilling unit must be equipped...
