STRUCTURE, FEATURES AND USAGE

This lathe adopts full gear transmission with great stability and high tooling accuracy. The main spindle speed changing unit -diprosopia curves disc, and longitudinal/cross feeding safety unit are own patented. The full functioned lathe with longitudinal/cross auto-feeding can realize tooling speeds choosing and regular threads setting through feeding box.

• Headstock — Full gear driven, the spindle speed changing is achieved through sliding gears and the main spindle can get 12 kinds of speeds at wide range. The lathe has the structure of forward/reward feeding unit which can get auto feeding in both direction and make right/left threading,

• Gearbox Transmit the movement in headstock to feeding box through change gears. By choosing different change gears, different metric/imperial threading can be achieved

• Feeding box It has 15 shifts. There is no need of changing the gears to get 15 kinds of feeding speed and tooling 15 kinds of metric/imperial threads.

• Carriage It has longitudinal/cross feeding interlock unit which can make auto feeding in longitudinal or cross direction

• Bedway The bedway adopts two V guideways, ensuring perfect positioning accuracy and excellent tooling rigidity.

• Tailstock
  Tt adopts rapid cam-lock unit to make easy and rapid operation

• Standard accessories
  Three jaw chuck, dead center, toolpost wrench, inner hexagon spanner, stud dead spanner, change gears, splash guard

• Optional accessories for your choice
  Machine stand, steady rest, follow rest, oil tray, toolcutter set, live center, face plate, four jaw chuck, backplate, special gears.

TRANSMISSION

• lleadstock spindle speed change:
  The motor power is transferred to Headstock axle I through V-belts and then to headstock main spindle through sliding gears on axle I and axle V, so the main spindle gets 12 kinds of different speeds.

• Feeding speed change and thread tooling:
  The main spindle works on the gears on axle III and IV through feeding gears, the different meshing of sliding gears on axle Il achieves forward and reverse rotation.. Through a sct of final reduction gear and change gears A, B, C to drive the input axle in feeding box, then through complex gears on second motion shaft, to make the output axle achieve two different rotation directions and 15 different speeds reach the carriage through longitudinal feeding screw. By pressing the halfnut handle, the toolpost shall make the thread tooling; release it, the toolpost shall make longitudinal or cross movement.

ASSEMBLYING AND TRIAL

• Open the case, check the content against the packing list.
• Put the lathe on the machine stand, fasten it after adjusting the guideway to level.
• Clean the guideway, work table, carriage and oily surface by clear etamine or non-corrosive kerosene; Inject #10 or #7 machine lubrication oil into the parts as per lathe lubrication requirements and check the oil level.
• Check the longitudinal and cross movement of toolpost.
• Check the motor and electrical parts and make sure of reliable earthing.
• For trial, run the lathe at low speed in twenty minutes. During normal running, increase the speed step by step as per the speed indication shown on the speed plate. The speed change should be effected only when the main spindle fully stops. Slightly rotate the main spindle when tripping the speed change handle to help the gears smoothly changing.
• The operator shall read carefully the manual, pay attention to the lubrication and maintenance of the lathe to prolong the working life.

OPERATIO AND MAINTENANCE

• Operation:

• Headstock:
  Trip handle 2, making the arrow aiming at the tablet, shows the chosen speed.
  Handle 3 is forward/reverse feeding handle, the toolpost shall move as per showing.

• Feeding box:
  Change the position of handles 1 and 4 to get necessary threads as per the indication shown on the Feeding & Threading Tablet.When change metric threading to imperial threading, besides the indications shown on the tablet, you are required to change Gear A from teeth 34(teeth 36) to teeth 36 (teeth 34).

• Carriage:
  Handle 8 is for longitudinal and cross feeding. Press down for cross feeding and up for longitudinal, the middle is neutral position. When handle 8 at neutral position, rotate handwheel 5 and 6 can also achieve longitudinal/cross movement of toolpost. Press down handle 9, close the halfnut, the toolpost shall make threading. Handle 8 and 9 can be inter-locked.

• Saddle and toolpost:
  Handle 7 is for locking the toolpot, handle 10 is for moving the small carriage and handle 6 for moving working table.

• Tailstock:
  Handle 11 is for locking the sleeve in tailstock. Releasing handle 11, rotate handle 13, you can get out sleeve; handle 12 is for locking the tailstock.

• Maintenance::

• Making lubrication as per request before operation.

• Clean the chips on bedway, saddle, toolpost to avoid strain.

• The operator shall strictly make the operation as per regulations to avoid damage of the lathe and human safety.

• Never stop/brake the lathe by hands.

• No setting of tools and other objects on the headstock, toolpost and guidewawy.
