OP. RATING InSTRUCTIOES FOR MAGNAPLUY: TYPE DRC-543_- DRC-963 ‘ype DRC-S43 and DRC~963 units are designed for general purpose wet method Magnaflux inspection providing low-voltage, high-amperage A.C, for magnetizing and demagnetizing. The rated maximum output 1s 3000 amperes.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION DRC units are standard all purpose equipment, featuring both cir- cular and longitudinal magnetization over a wide range of parts. The headstock mounted on the left side, 1s stationary. The tail- stock is movable from the right side and ray be clamped in any position required to insvect a variety of part lengths up to 54” on the DRO-543 and 96" on the DRO-963, The coil is : ounted between the contacts on a roller base and ay be clamped in any desired position. The tailstock and coil are mounted on rails which run the entire length of the unit. Clamping action of the headstock is performed by an air cylinder and controlled by a foot switch and solenoid operated air valve. The inspection bath 1s contained in a built in tank, agitated and recirculated by a wide clearance, impeller type pump. Apvlication of the inspection bath is by hand hose. A set of grilles provide a work area above the tank. DRC units can be equipped with Nagne~ glo Hood (optional) for near ultra-violet fluorescent particle inspection, DRC units are equipped with a 30 point tap switch used in conjunc- tion with the auto transformer to control the amount of output current. It is motor driven to facilitate deragnetization of difficult parts. ‘#Magnaflux, Registered U.S, Patent Office, a trademark of Magnaflux Corporation applied to its équipment and + materials for magnetic particle inspection, Processes + and methods used in magnetic particle inspection are + covered by various U.S, Letters Patent.ELUOTRICAL FEATURES, The DRC-543 and DRC-963 are normally built to operate on either 220 or 40 volts (interchangeably), 50/60 cycle, single phase current, They may also be adapted to other voltages and frequen- ofes but not for less than 208 volts. TRANSPORUER CIRCUITS The low-voltage, high-amperage A.C. used for maznetization and de- magnetization is obtained from a specially desi med step-down trans- former. An auto transformer is used in connection with the motor Griven 30 point tap switch to regulate the anperage of the magnet- izing current. An isolation type transformer is used to obtain 110 volts for the control circuit, 4 current transforrer is used in connection with the A.C. ameter, INSTALLATION Location of the units will be influenced by considerations of hand- ling materials and proper ventilation and servicing. The following Sequence of installing operations is recommended, (1) Set unit en a firm level floor and bolt down, being sure to allow for servicing space at rear of unit. Traverse rails for the coil and tailstock should be level. (2) Install air filter to air intake of unit and connect to 80 to 100 p.s.i, compressed air line, adjust pressure valve on unit to 40 pounds pressure, (3) Fill headstock lubricated with a good grade S.A.B. #10 oil. Fill 3/k" from top of bowl, Adjust valve for approximately one drop of oil per 10 to 20 strokes of piston when machine is in operation. (CAUTION Relieve air pressure before filling lubricator.) (4) Clean tank, agitator and sump carefully. lush with keroseno or other light ofl if necessary. Close drain cock under tark. (5) Gonsult Magnaflux Wet Method Operating Instructions for Pre- paration of the insoection bath, en gallons should provide an adequate level for D3C-543 and fifteen gallons for the DRC=963 unit. (6) Set all switches in "off" position. (7) Make permanent electrical connection to the junction box of sufficient capacity as specified on nareplates, Line connection should be riade through fused disconnect switch of proper rating. Ground unit, using attached ground lug in junction box. Use line sized wire.~ ar (8) Install foot switch in ils veceptacie, CONTROLS - FLECIRICAL CONTROL CABINET The control cabinet contains the control components (located behind left front panel.) 30 POINT TAP SWITCH The motor driven tap switch serves the dual function of re- gulating the amperage of the magnetizing current and derag- netizing parts after inspection. In adjusting current etrength the tap switch is set manually at the approximate position re- quired for the part to be tested, by depressing the center knob and rotating the contact arn to the proper setting. In demag- netizing parts after inspection the contact arm is set counter clockwise to a higher current setting and the "Demegnetizing" button depressed, This initiates the automatic demagnetizing cycle of the 30 point tap switch. AMMETER The ammeter indicates the amount of output current at the contacts or coil, TRANSFER SWITCH This switch transfers current to "Contacts" or "Coil" as indicated, MAGNETIZING CURRENT SWITCH This mishroom button applies magnetizing current through con- tacts or coil dspending upon the setting of the trensfer switch, Current will flow wnile the button is held depressed. MAGNETIZING CURRENT PUSH BUTTON OPERATING BAR This bar extending the length of the unit, functions to allow operation of the magnetizing current push button from any position, The actuator can be disengaged by moving to the right and turning upward to make the bar inoperative. GOIL DEMAGNETIZING SELECTOR SWITCH This switch is used only when the coil is to be used for demagnetizing. COIL DEMAGNETIZING PUSH BUTTON This switch initiates the automatic demagnetizing cycle of the motor driven 30 point tap switch.
