FACTORY SAFETY PROCEDURE
PEDDINGHAUS BDL1250 DRILL
1. Introduction
1. This procedure has been written as a safe method for the safe operation of the
Peddinghaus BDL 1250 drill and stamp machine.
2. Operation
2. This machine must only be operated by suitably trained and authorised
persons. Untrained operatives must be receiving training from, and under the
direct supervision of, an authorised operator.
3. All operators must have been briefed on the manufacturers operating
instructions, this Factory Safety Procedure and all relevant risk assessment(s).
4. Before operation the operator is required to carry out checks on all guarding,
ensuring that:
All guarding components are in place and not damaged.
That the light guards are not damaged and that they isolate the machine
when activated.
5. If any defects are found regarding guarding, or other health and safety issues,
they must be entered into the guard check register and reported to
Maintenance using the green defect report sheet. This must be filled in by
the Bay Supervisor and handed to Maintenance.
6.
7. THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE OPERATED UNTIL THE FAULT HAS BEEN RECTIFIED,
UNLESS AUTHORISED BY THE MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR.
8. The operator should ensure that the area around the machine is kept tidy, in
order to eliminate slips, trips and falls.
9. Loading of material is by the racking system or overhead crane using lifting
equipment that has the current colour code attached and is suitable for the lift.
Lifting is to be undertaken only by trained authorised slinger/crane operators.
10.For detail on lifting operations refer to FSP 04, Lifting operations in the Factory.
11.Position the material into the machine jaws/clamps manually by use of
overhead crane or with powered rolling transfers.
12.The placement of the material stock on the in feed rollers must be put up
against the conveyor datum rollers.
13.The roller bed on the input side is powered. Items are loaded onto it and the
operator then drives the item into the machine and positions it in the machine
jaws.

14.Once the item is successfully aligned the operator presses the cycle start
control on the control panel and the computer then feeds the item in and drills
it as programmed.
15.If access is required to the machine during cutting, ensure that the programme
pause is activated and that the light guards operate.
16. When returning to the control panel reset the programme pause and
continue with the process.
BDL1250
17.Once drilled, and if required, the item will be stamped with its identification
numbers by the automatic stamper. This is on the out feed side of the
machine. The programme will specify the numbers to be stamped, but the
operator may have to alter the setting for the flange thickness by using the
wheel on the front of the stamper; the machine is to be OFF for this task.
18.The finished item will then be delivered onto the out feed roller bed for
removing and stacking. The operator will then reload the machine with the
next item to be drilled; position the item and restart the machine programme to
drill it.
19.The operator using a brush and shovel removes the swarf from the drilling
process (magnets are not to be used for removing swarf). The machine is to be
isolated when this kind of work is carried out.
20.The swarf needs to be removed, as required, from the machine and deposited
into the bin. The bin needs to be emptied on a regular basis by the operator.
21.The Company owes a duty of care with regards to waste, so skips must be
covered - or kept inside the factory - at all times to stop the swarf from
escaping.
22.CO and/or powder fire extinguisher must be located in the immediate
proximity to the machine; the operator must be familiar with the location of
this.
23.Ensure that any coolant used is kept in a secure container and clearly labelled.
Coolant is delivered to the drills using compressed air and in the form of a mist.
It is the operators responsibility to ensure that the coolant reservoir is kept
topped up when drilling; use the sight gauge on the side to determine coolant
levels.
a) To top up the coolant reservoir the air pressure must be released:
activate the cut off valve and then release the clip over the filler cap.
Remove the filler cap and top up as required; replace the cap and secure
with the clip.
b) Check that the pressure relief valve is in the correct position and then
open the air valve to pressurise the system.
3. PPE

24.The operator must wear all mandatory PPE required in the factory - light eye
protection, hearing protection, overalls, safety footwear and gloves.
25.For any further information on the safe operation of this machine you must
refer to the manufacturers operating manual. If in doubt, ask your Supervisor.
Gases
26.This machine does not use any gasses, but does use compressed air to deliver
the coolant to the drill bits.
4. Drill change
27.The operator will be called upon to change drills at some time. To do this, he
must press the control for cycle stop, then press to switch pump off and to
change tools. If a drill has broken he must rack the item out of the machine.
28.The machine controls are locked out whilst the pump is switched off.
29.The operator will also have to pass through the light guard to access the drills.
30.He will then remove/replace drills as required, by hand.
31.Inspect Tooling for Chips or Dull Edges
32.Make sure that the tip of the drill is sharp and not damaged or broken.
33.If any tooling is dull or damaged, replace it before operating the machine.
34.On completion of the tool change a visual inspection will be carried out to
ensure no tools or parts are left on the drill bed or on the work piece.
35.On completion he will first reset the light guard, then switch the pump on at the
control panel and then reset the programme to reactivate the machine.
5. Removal of engraving inlet.
a Operative shall ensure that all engraving jobs shall be done using MEBA
saw-line unless the job demands & he gets permission from his supervisor,
he then could use BDL for same.
b Care should be taken while replacing the engraving inlet.
c Before working on the engraving tool, always remove the drill bit from
its spindle.

Signoscript Change
1 The Signoscript is a marking tool for this machine that creates characters and
layout marks on the work piece.
2 Check Signoscript Cutter Sharpness and Depth.
3 Make sure that the edges of the cutter are sharp and are not chipped or
worn.
