Recoil Tools
Recoil supply a range of associated tooling to facilitate insert
installation. The advantage of the Recoil tooling system is its
simplicity, versatility and ease of use. The hand installation
tooling range includes the manual installation tool, the semi
production "Prewinder" type in slotted and threaded
mandrel type as well as manual and spring operated tang break
off tools.
Manual Tool
The standard Recoil insert installation tool is the most practical
and simple to use for general applications. This tool may be
used to install 1 D through to 3D length inserts but care must
be taken to ensure that the adjustable collar is correctly set
to suit the particular type and length of the Recoil insert.
If the collar is incorrectly set, the insert will not drive properly
and the tool may slip off the tang as the insert enters the hole.
For general use, the collar should be adjusted such that the
insert tang is positioned mid-way along the slot with the insert
coils compressed. This will allow the insert free movement to
suit the parent material thread pitch during installation.
If the installation tool is used to break off the tang, then
it must be lifted clear of the insert following installation
and replaced into the insert at 90 degrees to its drive position.
This ensures that the tool is correctly placed on the insert
tang. Tap the tool sharply downward to produce a clean tang break.
Note: The manual installation tool is not recommended for the
installation of locking inserts.
Note: Recoil manual tools are not recommended for use with
other brands of wire thread inserts. |
