INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR SOMMA DRILL SPEEDER DSPD

The Somma Drill Speeder is a compact powerful tool designed to help eliminate secondary operations, optimize drill speed, and perform many milling or slotting operations. The Somma Drill Speeder will fit in any 2” tool holder, is 17” long overall and requires only 8.5” of clearance behind the quill. The Somma Drill Speeder’s drive motor is a mere 2.3” square. The Somma Drill Speeder can be used on New Britain’s, Acme’s, and various single spindle machines on the cross slide.

Electrical Installation.

As with any electrical device, always follow all applicable electrical codes.  Electrical connections should be handled by a qualified electrician. The unit will run on 220-240 VAC, 3-phase, and requires only 8 amps of current.

Mount control panel in an area where it will not be in direct line with splashing coolant, and flying chips. Create two knockout holes, one for input power and one for machine interface wires. Open the front door, and with a thin blade screwdriver insert the tip into the bottom of the disconnect switch and remove it from the DIN rail. Attach line voltage input wires to the disconnect then reinstall the switch to the DIN rail. Attach a ground wire to the lug provided in the upper left corner of the panel.

Two wires are provided to interface with your machine to start and stop the unit. These wires are capped with wire nuts and located in the lower left inside of panel. Attach these wires to any dry contact device. A closed circuit will start the speeder, an open will stop it. For proper operation these wires must be attached. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES APPLY ANY VOLTAGE TO THESE WIRES; PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE WILL RESULT. These wires should be kept separate from the line voltage wires.

Operation.

Set multi turn pot to “5”. Turn disconnect to the “on” position. After a few seconds the display should change from letters to a number. Close the contact on the interface wires, unit should start to run at the speed indicated on the display. Turning the rheostat from “5” to “10” will cause the speeder to run from slow to fast in one direction. If opposite rotation is desired turn the speed pot to a setting in between “5” and “0”. The speed is infinitely variable, with “0” and “10” being max speed in either direction and 5 being zero speed. Once the speed is set, use the contact to start and stop the unit. It is recommended that when powering up the unit leave the contact in the open position.
