ASSEMBLY TOO

ASSEMBLY TOO 3115 1877 00 This assembly tool is made for a specific procedure during the overhaul of a rock drill's major sub-assemblies, like the drifter or rotation unit. It enables a technician to install or remove parts such as bearings, seals, or pistons without causing accidental damage. Attempting these jobs with generic workshop tools often leads to scored surfaces or misaligned components, which can cause a premature failure once the drill is back in service.

Correct assembly directly impacts the performance and safety of the entire drilling system. When a component is put together using the designated tool, it operates at its intended efficiency and power. For example, properly seating a high-pressure seal with this tool prevents internal hydraulic leaks that would otherwise rob the drifter of its impact energy and slow down the whole drilling cycle.

Before each use, inspect the tool for any signs of wear, cracks, or bending that could affect its fit. Keep it clean and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Using a damaged or improvised tool is a significant safety risk and can lead to expensive damage to internal drifter parts.
