    I guess its an "E" not a "L"

    Never seen one...


    Ceco-Drop
    The world’s most popular hammer of its type, the Chambersburg CECO-DROP
    is an air or steam operated, piston lift, gravity drop hammer. Available with
    electrical ram stroke control (Model E) or mechanical ram stroke control, the
    CECO-DROP forges more minutes per hour than a board drop hammer
    because shutdowns for board replacements and friction adjustments are
    eliminated. Size for size, the CECO-DROP out produces other gravity drop
    hammers, at less cost per forging. It has earned a reputation as the “standard”
    gravity drop hammer (over 700 installations in forge shops around the world).

    Design Features:
    !" BLOWMATIC Mark II Control
    System permits programmed
    forging sequences using up to 3
    different blow energies on Model
    “E” CECO-Drop and
    conversions. The Model “E” can
    interlock with feed devices or
    robots.

    Hi
    I am Chandrasekar from India.You are right I am talking about the CECO Blowmatic hammer only.The valve movement is controlled by Electro-Pneumatic system.i have tried connecting the Solenoid valves but I am unable to control the Blows.(I subsequently am trying to actuate the valve by setting up a lever system.There is a provision for fitting a rocker which can actuate the valve horizontally). Any useful information in the
    air line connection for solenoid controlled operations is welcome.I am unable to get the manual for this hammer.I look forward to your help.
    Thanks for your response.

    The valving is the heart of the hammer in my opinion and trying to bypass it vs get it working will work about as well as bypassing your heart to get you working.

    Thanks for the response.The idea was not to bypass the valve.The trial is to make it work by actuating the valve by lever mechanism rather than by air pressure actuated by Solenoid valves.Any ideas?

    I have been trying to get an old CECO (Chambersburg )hammer (BLOWMATIC) erected.I have been able to get the machine on its feet, but struggling to make it work.The solenoid controlled Pneumatic system was not effective and the valve was refusing to move and the hammer kept swinging with no controls.i decided to set up a lever system pedal operated to make the valve work.I have fabricated all the parts and put them in place.I am not sure it will work.Look forward to any tips on this.
