Operation

Connecting/disconnecting the Pipe Handler to a

Quick Coupler

Fig 4.1: Fully closed position

Chapter

The handling of pipes can be a dangerous exercise if not carried out carefully. Before picking up a pipe follow these steps to ensure maximum safety.


10

Fig 4.1 shows the fully closed position of the pipe handler. This position guarantees the lowest center of gravity (CG), resulting the most stable position on the ground level.

Picking-up and unloading of pipes

STEP 01

Move the proportional slider mounted on the joystick which controls the clamping function. Open fully (or partially) as shown in the Fig 4.3 according to the pipe size. Then firmly approach the pipe until more than ¾ of the pipe inside the hook.

Fig 4.2: Joystick with proportional slider module

During connecting/disconnecting quick coupler,

transporting, or storing always keep the pipe

handler fully closed position (Fig 4.1). This is

the safest position for ground handling.


11

Fig 4.3: Approaching the pipe

STEP 02

Move the proportional slider in opposite direction until fully clamped position as Fig 4.4. It is advisable to apply the maximum pressure for clamping to make a rigid grasp between the pipe and hooks. The maximum pressure can be applied by moving the proportional slider to the end.

Fig 4.4: Clamped position


12

Maximum clamping pressure can damage HDPE pipes. Titan Pipe handler is already set to a maximum pressure to protect most commonly used HDPE pipes. Also, this maximum pressure can further be reduced / increased according to different types of HDPE pipes.

Fig 4.5: Main hydraulic controller

Direct-acting relief valve (RBAE 2) governs the maximum clamping pressure. RBAE 2 is a cartridge valve with a adjustable knob as shown in Fig 4.5. Turn “clockwise” to increase the clamping pressure. Turn “anti-clockwise” to reduce clamping pressure. To unload the pipe follows the reverse order of the picking-up.


13

Tilting of pipes

Titan pipe handler can be used to tilt pipes in clockwise/anti-clockwise directions as shown in Fig 4.6. Maximum tilt angle is limited to 15 degrees each side. This tilt function is also controlled by a proportional slider similar to shown in Fig 4.2. Proportional controller provides a smooth tilting operation that can be used to precise positioning of pipes.

Fig 4.6: Tilted position


14

Rotating of pipes

Titan pipe handler can be used to rotate pipes in clockwise/anti-clockwise directions continuously as shown in Fig 4.7. Rotational speed is approximately 5 RPM. This rotating function is also controlled by a proportional slider similar to shown in Fig 4.2. Proportional controller provides a smooth rotating operation that can be used to precise positioning of pipes.

Fig 4.7: Rotating of pipes

Lifting of pipes

Whenever, lifting pipes with the pipe handler ensure that great care is taken. The lifting capacity is stamped on the compliance plate. Also compare this lifting capacity value with the excavator rated lifting capacity and the lower value must always be used.

Do not lift any pipe greater than the lifting

capacity value on the compliance plate


15

Installation

1. Care should be taken when installing the pipe handler. Always use hardened, drilled and grooved pins in the top of the pipe handler. Hardened pins are NOT supplied with the pipe handler. When installing the hydraulic hoses and electrical wires to the pipe handler, they should be checked on full rotation around the pivot point of dipper arm for fretting or pinching of hoses or wires.

2. Please note that all hydraulic hoses and fittings connected into the pipe handler must be

thoroughly cleaned and flushed prior to installation to prevent damage to the hydraulic control system.

Preventive Maintenance

PROTECTION SURVEY A visual examination makes it possible to ensure the integrity of parts.

Absence of excessive stretch, cracks or tears

Signs of wear or damage

Correct positioning

Evidence of oil leakage

Check for pollutants such as sand, coal, metallic particles, etc.

FASTENER SURVEY It is particularly important to check that the required preload level of the bolts is still maintained as the fasteners of the slewing rings are essentially working in fatigue. We recommend retightening the fasteners after the first two to four months of utilization and then proceeding to a systematic yearly check. If any bolt is found loose, a further in deep examination is essential. The necessary preservative measures must then be exercised. Some regulations impose the replacement of fasteners every seven years or every 14 000 working hours. In any case, refer to local rules and regulations enforced connected with the application. Use a "star shape" pattern when torquing the bolts of slew ring which ensures a uniform tightening over the whole periphery. Table 6.2: Tightening torque

ORIENTATION SURVEY During cleaning prior to regreasing of the ring gear and pinion drive:

Check carefully for any foreign body at the tooth root, ring and pinion.

Check the even load distribution of the pinion on the entire width of the ring gear.

Check the backlash value. Adjust the driving pinion to the maximum eccentric point of the ring gear, marked by a blue line. The backlash must be within the limits of 0.447mm to 0.8.7mm. Please refer to the Fig 6.1.


21

Daily Inspections

Before starting daily operation, check over pipe handler for cracks, damage, or oil leaks.

1. Check all fixing points (nuts, bolts, pins, Circlips) for signs of loosening, wear or damage.

2. Check pipe handler structure, especially load bearing areas for signs of damages.

3. Check for any cracks in welds.

4. Check hydraulic ram, motor, connectors and hoses for evidence of oil leakage.

5. Check for any score marks on hydraulic ram.

If all of the above items are in good order then it is safe to proceed with operation.

Some maintenance procedures can be dangerous

and cause injury. Take great care whenever

working on this pipe handler. Read and fully

understand the safety precautions in manual

before completing any work on this handler.

Fig 6.1: Gear Backlash


22

Monthly Inspections

1. Thoroughly clean Pipe Handler.

2. Visually inspect the pipe handler structure, especially load bearing areas to ensure it is free

from defects and signs of excessive wear.


4. Check hydraulic ram, motor, connectors and hoses for evidence of oil leakage.

5. Check for any score marks on hydraulic ram.

6. Check condition of lifting hooks for evidence of fatigue, weld failure or stress.

7. Check condition of the all mechanical and electrical components.

If all of the above items are in good order then it is safe to proceed with operation.

Annually Inspections

1. Dissemble following items from the pipe handler.

Hooks

Hydraulic rams

Rotary union

2. Check hooks structure, especially load bearing areas for signs of damages.


4. Check hydraulic rotary union, ram, connectors and hoses for evidence of oil leakage.

5. It is recommended to carry out a pressure testing for the hydraulic rotary union and ram.

Maximum pressure (350bar, 5000PSI).


23

6. Every hydraulic ram consist a counterbalance valve. Check all counterbalance valves for their

intended function. That is, the load holding capability in the absence of hydraulic pressure.

Please follow the steps below for this testing;

Fully extend the ram.

Disconnect all the hydraulic supply lines.

Apply a load (30-50 kg) to the rod end as in the Fig: 6.2.

Check for any movement of the rod. If it is moving, replace the counterbalance

valve. Even after replacement of the counterbalance valve still rod moves under the

load, hydraulic ram need to be completely disassembled, investigated, and repaired.

7. Tighten all the bolts of the slew ring as per the torque specified in the Table 6.2.

HEAVY LOADS USE ASSITED LIFTING CLAMP HYDRAULIC RAM TO A RIGID STUCTURE

Fig 6.2: Counterbalance valve testing


24

8. Main pivot point consist two tapered roller bearings. Please see the Fig 6.3. These bearings

should be pre-loaded as per the instruction given below.

Tighten the pre-loading nut and at the same time turning the main beam.

Feel the turning torque of the main beam.

When it becomes too heavy, turn the pre-loading nut back ¼ of turn.

Then fix the position of pre-loading nut by fully tightening the lock nut.

If all of the above items are in good order then it is safe to proceed with operation. Titan pipe handler contains some equipment locally and internationally supplied such as slew ring, radial piston motor, etc. These equipments manufacturers have specified detailed maintenance procedures in their own operator’s manual. Titan is providing a copy of these operator’s manual for further details. Please take time to read, understand and follow safety precautions and procedures found in these manuals.

Fig 6.3: Main Pivot Point


25

Lubrication

A suitable lubrication is essential for the longevity of the raceways of slew ring, gears, and bearings. The operating conditions such as loads, temperatures, speeds, vibrations, etc. determine the choice of lubricant. As being a significant component of the bearing, grease will improve the bearing capabilities and longevity.

Recommendations for bearing lubricants

Lithium-base soap.

Minimum viscosity of the base: 150 mm2/sec.

Grade NLGI 2.

Anti-wear and extreme pressure additives.

Service temperature : – 30° C à + 120° C

Greasing Frequency

The greasing frequency varies according to utilization and environment. We recommend regreasing every 150 hours in normal usage. This frequency is to be reduced to 50 hours when the conditions of application are severe or if the environment is dusty or wet. Greasing is required, before and after a long idle period. Regrease every 6 months, while rotating, during prolonged idle periods. Apply grease to the points given in the Fig 6.4, Fig 6.5, and Fig 6.6 using a high pressure grease gun. All greasing points are located externally and easily accessible.

The proper and safe lubrication and maintenance for this pipe handler as recommended by the manufacturer, is outlined in the operator’s manual. Improper performance of lubrication or maintenance procedures is dangerous and could result in injury or death. Read and understand this operator’s manual before performing any lubrication or maintenance.
