INTRODUCTION

The PRAGMA PIPE-MATIC 3000 is a power catwalk used to move tubulars and tools between the pipe rack area and the drilling floor. This manual has been prepared to help assemble the PIPE-MATIC 3000. It consists of four sub assemblies including the CATWALK, RAMP, CARRIER and LIFT ARM. Step by step procedures of each sub assembly will explain how to install mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical components. Furthermore, this manual will explain how to connect these four sub-assemblies into a final and complete assembly of the PIPE-MATIC 3000.

Fig. 2.0.0.1 PIPE-MATIC 3000

The CATWALK is the base of the PIPE-MATIC 3000 and is the largest of the subassemblies. Its major components include six sets of hydraulic pipe racks, six sets of indexers, hydraulic reservoir, hydraulic valve bank, hydraulic cooler, control box, pump and motor. The CATWALK also consists of a large portion of hydraulic plumbing, electrical wiring and many smaller components. The CARRIER is used to carry tubulars and tools to and from the drill floor. The major components of the CARRIER include six kickers, six safety pins, the V-roller axle, sheave, skate drive motor, skate winch, skate cable and the skate. The CARRIER also consists of many smaller components, along with a hydraulic system, electrical system and control box.

The RAMP is hinged to the CATWALK and rotates up to rest on the drilling floor during operation. The major component is the carrier lift winch mounted on the back side of the RAMP. It is used to drive the CARRIER during operation. The ramp also includes the top carrier roller, sheave, along with hydraulic and electrical components. The LIFT ARM connects the CARRIER to the CATWALK, supporting the flare end of the CARRIER during operation. The LIFT ARM consists of pocket rollers, the hinge pin, bearing pads, slide plate and hydraulic hinges. Three tubes run the length of the lift arm. These are used for the hydraulic and electrical systems, however, they are not hooked up until the sub assemblies are being connected.

3.1

CATWALK

The catwalk is the base of the PIPE-MATIC 3000 and is the largest of the sub assemblies. Its major components include six sets of hydraulic PIPE RACKS, six sets of INDEXERS, HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR, HYDRAULIC VALVE BANK, ELECTRICAL BOX, PUMP and MOTOR. The catwalk also consists of a large portion of hydraulic plumbing, electrical wiring and many smaller components.

Fig. 3.1.0.1 CATWALK

The CATWALK houses the CARRIER when the CARRIER is in the down position. The INDEXERS and PIPE RACKS are used to move and store pipes. The HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR, MOTOR, PUMP, ELECTRICAL BOX and HYDRAULIC VALVE BANK are all housed within the CATWALK on the drillers side flare end.

3.1.1 INDEXERS
There are six INDEXERS located on the CATWALK, three on the drillers side and three on the off drillers side. Each is attached to two hydraulic cylinders and these cylinders are attached to the base of the CATWALK. One hydraulic cylinder attaches to the outside of the CATWALK while the other is attached to the inside of the CATWALK. These INDEXERS are used to move pipes from the PIPE RACKS to the CARRIER and vice versa.

PIPE RACKS

There are six PIPE RACKS which are attached to the base of the CATWALK, three on the drillers side and three on the off drillers side. They are attached with a ball joint and are able to swing outwards at a 90 from the base of the CATWALK while in use. The main component of the PIPE RACK is the PIPE RACK ARM. On the tip of the PIPE RACK ARM, a Hydraulic Cylinder is attached to a round flat JACK PAD. The JACK PAD is to be rested on the ground while the Cylinder moves the tip of the PIPE RACK ARM up and down. The PIPE RACK is used to store pipe while not in use. The movement of the piston changes the slope of the PIPE RACK ARMS allowing pipe to roll towards or away from the base of the CATWALK depending on the current application.

3.2.16.1 SKATE WINCH ASSEMBLY


1. Insert TB Woods Sure-Grip BUSHING over the SKATE DRIVE SHAFT so that the smaller diameter is facing the end of the shaft with the Snap Ring groove. Pry the bushing open by inserting a screwdriver in the slit along the bushing, allowing the BUSHING to slide on the SHAFT. Align so that when the SKATE WINCH DRUM is inserted, that the wall of the drum is approximately 6 from the end of the SHAFT without the groove. Remember that the DRUM will move slightly when tightened, so consider this when the BUSHING is being lined up. Once the BUSHING is the proper distance, remove the screw driver, allowing the BUSHING to fit tightly around the SKATE DRIVE SHAFT.

Fig. 3.2.16.3 SKATE DRIVE SHAFT

123

2. Insert DRUM onto SKATE DRIVE SHAFT and slide over BUSHING so that Bolt holes align. 3. Blow air into Bolt holes to remove any debris. Insert three 5/8"-11 x 4 1/2" GR.8 Bolts with 5/8 Lock Washers and tighten into place.

Fig. 3.2.16.4 WINCH AND SHAFT 4. Insert GEAR BUSHING into SKATE WINCH GEAR. Insert three -13 x 1 Bolts with Lock Washer through the GEAR BUSHING and GEAR. Only tighten lightly.

124

Fig. 3.2.16.5 SPROCKET PRYED OPEN 5. Pry open insert with screw driver and insert over the end of the SKATE DRIVE SHAFT with the Snap Ring groove so that the GEAR BUSHING is facing out. The outside of the face of the gears should be approximately 3 5/8 from the end of the SKATE DRIVE SHAFT. Note that when the bolts are tightened between the GEAR BUSHING and the GEAR, that the distance will change slightly and this must be accounted for. Once the proper location is determined, remove the screw driver allowing the GEAR BUSHING to tighten over the SKATE DRIVE SHAFT. Insert GEAR BUSHING SET SCREW and tighten. 6. Tighten the -13 x 1 Bolts that connect the bushing to the gears. Be sure to tighten each one evenly so that the GEAR is not crooked. Check the 3 5/8 distance from the GEAR to the end of the SKATE DRIVE SHAFT. If distance is off, loosen bolts and re-align GEAR BUSHING until an accurate alignment is made.

125

7. Pre-Fit the each SPERICAL BEARINGS with its designated BEARING FLANGE. By performing this step now, it prevents debris from entering the exposed internals of the BEARING in case modifications need to be made. 8. Remove Snap Rings from the one side of bearing which will be facing the outside of the CARRIER. Remove the Bearing Seal from that one side and re-attach the Snap Ring to keep the inner spheres in place. Removing this cover allows the bearings to be greased once the unit is constructed while the Snap Ring keeps the bearings internals intact. 9. Remove the snap ring on the opposite side. Puncture the seal, making small inserts with scissors along the path which the snap ring usually covers. Replace the snap ring. These holes allow grease to flow out of the bearing if the pressure becomes too high. By puncturing them along the path of the snap ring, the snap ring will help prevent any debris from entering the bearing internals through these holes. 10. Press the BEARINGS into their respective BEARING FLANGE so that the side of the BEARING without the Bearing Seal will be facing towards to outside of the CARRIER.

126

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

The PIPEMATIC 3000 needs to be configured for either 600V or 480V depending on the power supply used by the customer. The electrical system has a large ELECTRICAL BOX which is located near the Flare End on the Drillers Side of the CATWALK. A smaller ELECTRICAL CONTROL BOX is located on the Drillers Side of the Hydraulic Reservoir, and it contains buttons for manual input as well as a display screen, showing the status of the system.

Along with these two ELECTRICAL BOXES, another small ELECTRICAL BOX is located on the Drillers Side towards the Ramp End of the CATWALK. From this box, the wires are diverted to the Goretrac and become connected to the CARRIER. We have provided set of Electrical Schematics as well as a list of all the components used for the 600V and 480V configurations.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

An extensive amount of hydraulics are used in the PIPE-MATIC 3000, they are used to power all forms of motion from the PIPE RACKS, INDEXERS, KICKERS, SAFETY PINS to the WINCHES that drive the SKATE and CARRIER. In order to achieve these operations, a complex configuration of Hydraulic Components are used. A pump draws the Hydraulic Fluid from the Hydraulic RESERVOIR, transferring it to set of Hydraulic Valves located in the CATWALK and CARRIER. These Valves are grouped together in the HYDRAULIC VALVE BANKS, however, each valve works independently. The VALVE BANK CATWALK being much larger than the one on the CARRIER as it controls all Hydraulics on the PIPE-MATIC minus the ones on the CARRIER. The CARRIER needs its own HYDRAULIC VALVE BANK to reduce the amount of hoses that need to be used to carry Fluid from the CATWALK to the CARRIER. From these VALVE BANKS, two sets of hydraulic hoses run to each hydraulic sub-system, one hose pushes fluid into the system, raising an INDEXER for example, while the other hose allows fluid to leave the sub-system, therefore lowering the INDEXER. These motions are all controlled by the VALVE for that particular sub-system. This section will provide information on how to attach the Hydraulic Components as well as a set of schematics which will further detail the location of these Hydraulic Components on the PIPEMATIC.

3.7.1

HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS

There are 30 Hydraulic Cylinder located on the PIPE-MATIC 3000, 18 on the CATWALK controlling the PIPE-RACKS and the INDEXERS, while 12 Cylinders control the SAFETY PINS and KICKERS on the CARRIER. Two Hydraulic Hoses must be attached to each Cylinder, one for inflow and one for outflow. Which hose goes in what hole on the Cylinder is determined by where the hoses attach to the VALVE BANK. 1. Remove the Plugs from the Hydraulic Cylinder by simply using a screw driver to unscrew the Plugs. Screw on Hydraulic Fitting. This may be a straight, elbow or a T-section fitting depending on the specific Hydraulic Cylinder. The hoses are simply screwed onto the end of each Hydraulic Fitting. Be sure to keep protective plastic covering on Hydraulic Fitting until hoses are attached to prevent dirt and debris from entering into the hydraulic system.

HYDRAULIC BULKHEADS

Hydraulic Bulkheads are used to connect Hydraulic Hoses between the walls of the CATWALK or CARRIER for example. These Bulkheads come with Straight, Elbow or T-Section fittings depending on what is needed in a given situation. 1. Insert Bulkhead though pre-drilled hole. Screw nut over the opposite end and tighten nut to hold Bulkhead into place. Hoses are then simply screwed onto the end of each Hydraulic Fitting.

PIPE RACK ARM HYDRAULICS

The Hydraulics on each PIPE RACK ARM contains a Pressure Reducer along with a set of Hydraulic Pipes that run the length of the ARM. 1. Remove the plastic caps for the Pressure Reducer. Insert two straight fittings into the top side of the Reducer with 90 Elbows on either side pointing away from the straight fittings.

Fig. 3.7.3.1 PRESSURE REDUCER CONFIGURATION

2.

Screw a Hydraulic Pipe into each end of the Straight Fittings on the Pressure Reducer. Using two sets of Hydraulic Clamps and the holes provided in the Pipe Rack Arm, clamp the Hydraulic Pipes onto the Arm. The Pipes should be on the outside of the Arm when the Arm is folded inward and the Pressure Reducer located towards the base of the Arm.

HOSE CLAMPS

Hose Clamps are used to organize and tidy up Hydraulic Hoses as they run throughout the CARRIER and CATWALK. This helps prevent entanglement and helps speed up any service or troubleshooting that may have to be done one the system. There are two types of Hose Clamps, the one shown previously on the Pipe Rack Arms along with straps which simply hold a bundle of hoses together for organizational purposes. Both types of Clamps are very basic and easy to install by simply inserting a Bolt through the Clap and anchor such as the CATWALK or CARRIER. Simply use a Nut on the other end of the bolt and tighten.
