Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It's getting dark earlier these days.
I had to work a little overtime the other day, and before I knew it, it was already the 1st!
It wasn't even 6 o'clock yet.
Hokkaido is already getting ready for winter, isn't it?
I hear it's still hot in Honshu, and this temperature swing is terrifying.
But that's beside the point.
This is a common issue that arises during anchor drilling, but,
Machine Trouble!
You never know when a machine malfunction might occur.
However, one thing I can say is that when the workplace changes, things fall apart. When the people change, things fall apart.
This one's a sure thing, lol.
The most common problem with anchor drilling machines and rotary percussion drills is,
Hydraulic Hose PunctureThat's it.
There's just nothing we can do about this.
While you can tell when a hydraulic hose has deteriorated just by looking at it, you can't tell what's happening in the hidden parts.
With rotary percussion, the hoses can rub against each other and tear due to hydraulic vibrations, or
There are various issues, such as the outer rubber deteriorating and the inner wire rusting, which can lead to a flat tire.
Just say "pass," and you'll end up getting showered with hydraulic fluid lol
We always make sure to bring a spare of the thin hydraulic hoses that are particularly prone to punctures.
However, depending on the situation, if a 19 mm or 25 mm hydraulic hose bursts, there’s nothing you can do.
If it's a long-term job site, I bring my crimping machine, but if it's a short-term one, I don't.
However, if the hose is short, it’s no problem, but if it’s long, well...
In that case, we'll just have to head back. We'll go back to the office, make a new hose, and bring it over later.
This is the cheapest one, isn't it?
Or you could have a hose supplier you work with sell it to you at wholesale prices. (It’s a bit more expensive.)
All the replacement parts for rotary percussion instruments are so expensive—it's really a struggle.
I'd like to raise the drilling fees a little bit, lol.
See you later.
This happens a lot at my company, too ^ – ^ Since our equipment is old, it happens quite often. Strangely enough, it tends to happen right at the start and end of new jobs. So, I always bring a spare, and I also make sure to book a nearby hydraulic hose shop before a new job starts ^ – ^ Our machines are kind of cute. At the end of each day, I wash them as a way of saying “thank you.” I used to complain about these “old clunkers,” but ^ – ^ these days, my feelings toward the machines aren’t just about work—it’s more like being on a club team.
If you take good care of your machines, they’ll repay you, won’t they?
Sometimes, though, I find myself thinking, “What?! It’s breaking right now?!”
I’d like to be the kind of person who takes good care of my belongings.
People who say things like that are good at their jobs, too, lol.
Club activities, huh? lol
