Description

The NOVA Voyager DVR (Digital Variable Reluctance) is a 110-120V single phase 1.75HP Drill press. It’s a versatile drill press and can handle wood, metal, plastics and glass. The DVR Motor drive is a unique type of motor and controller where the motor and controller interact. The motor provides data to the controller on its position and load conditions. The controller uses this data to handle all the timing and power management to ensure an energy efficient and powerful motor. The DVR integrated motor drive system contains four main parts, the DVR Motor (stator and rotor built into the headstock), the Rotor Position Sensor (RPS), the drive control board and the human-machine interface (HMI). The control board, RPS and HMI make up the electronic control system of the drive. The control board receives the commands from the user through the keypad and the HMI board, and it provides useful feedback information to the user such as the running speed and load on the motor. The information is displayed to the user via the LCD display.

Safety and Certification

Hazards

  • The drill is very strong and is capable of grabbing, maiming, cutting, or/and dismembering body parts.
  • Drill spins from 50 - 5500 RPM and is capable of throwing unsecured work pieces and debris at operator and beyond
  • Drilling can produce fine dust that affects respiratory health
  • Work pieces may fall off the Drill and injure if improperly handled or secured

Prohibited Operations

  • Modifying/hacking the saw and its original accessories
  • Bypassing of saw safety features
  • Do not push several keys together as special coded combinations of keys open diagnostic and service functions. Some of these disable control and protection functions. If an unfamiliar screen is displayed, switch off the computer and leave for one minute before rebooting.

Pre-Operational Safety

  • Check self for loose clothing, hair and jewelry. REMOVE GLOVES.

  • Make sure that drill parts are functioning as intended and that nothing is loose or damaged.
  • Set up any jigs, fences and safety equipment before turning the drill on.
  • If the machine hasn’t been used for some period (over one month) it is helpful to switch the power to the unit on 30 – 60 minutes before use.

Operational Safety

  • Do not reach under drill until it has stopped moving.
  • Do not leave drill until chuck has come to a complete stop.
  • Do not adjust the fences while the chuck is spinning.
  • Do not move working stock, while the drill is being used; lateral pressure may damage the machine. **Exception** a drum sander maybe used on the drill press.
