If the floor is made of a strong material such as cement or stone, check it with a water level and fill up any unevenness with cement. If the floor is made of wood, remove the wooden covering and cast a cement base for the machine to stand on. Use a water level to make sure it is perfectly even. The machine should not be put into position before the cement is quite dry CHAPTER 3 LAYOUT OF MACHINES Every machine is supplied with three pads A, Band C, as well as a screw D with @ lock mut, The pads are placed under the ma- chine as shown in fig. 2, The screw is putin the hole in the front righthand corner of the cabinet base and screwed on by hand until. it touches the floor. The screw is held by the holes in its head while the lock nut is being locked. - The venter of gravity of the machine is located so that the weight is borne by the three pads A, Band C, Screw D only func- tions as a safety device so that it should not be screwed down too tightly as this would lead to tension in the cabinet base. These instructions should be carried out carefully, in order to obtain an accurate alignment of the main spindle and the spindles of the attachment. de‘088 le ‘0008 <8 ose 2v om 4 w31Ha36 ss ct { 5 o 9 9 & 3 oOFig. 7 2¢ CHAPTER 4 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND WIRING DIAGRAM It is preferable to, place the electrical wires in channels set in the flooring. The current is brought directly to the connection box 9 (see fig. 7, 8 and 9). The wiring inside the machine, the motor protecting switch and the switch J are ali built into the machine before it leaves our works, The thermal release units inside the motor protecting switch starts functioning automatically when the motos is ovexioaded (see instructions furnished by the makers of these oO switches), , ‘The dotied jine in fig. 7 Fepresents the internai wiring for a machine lamp. This is only supplied if specially asked for. The diagram in fig. 9 represents the electrical wiringYfor ordinary 3-phase alternating current. The connections between the connection box 9 and the motor are buiit in during the construction of the machine, The external con - ro} nections which have to be fitted to the connection box 9 are supplied by the user, The three inside lines in the diagram represent the live wires of the three phases and the dashed and dotted line represents the earth or the neutral phase. Should the motor rotate in the wrong direction, simply reconnect 2 wires - \. of the 3 phases, after removing ull the fuses 10, The same wiring diagram can also be used for a 2-phase three wire sup- c ply, provided the strength of the fuse und the section of the wire, which is made up of two common phases, be multiplied by 1,4, Where the supply is 2-phase » four wire, adda fourth wire together with another fuse, ’ Ina few cases the supply is DC or AC, single phase. In this case one of the three live wires shown in the diagram is cut out and the wiring carried “out according to the instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the motor. or Always remove ull the fuses 10 before undertaking any wiring operations.cy a on of automatic motor prot A chain 6 corinects the controi lever 5 with the switch lever 4 of the motor Protecting swich 3, which a Spring tends to bring back to the “off position (see fig. 7).

The grooved pulley A (91 mm) is fitted to the end of the motor shait 23 (fig. 10 and 12), Unless otherwise specified, the liard wood board is supplied with the machine and attached to the support 2, Normally the pulley A (91 mm) has a 19 mm bore. If there is no hole in the end of the motor shaft, drill a depth of 30 to 35 mm and cut a thread M 8 for the fixing screw 20 (see fig. 12). 5Note: To enable us to supply the proper pulley A = 91 mm’ (3.58") and a screw 20 with the correct thread, the follo~ ma ape information should be given when = fering a machine: 93 a) Exact measurements of the end of 393 the motor shaft 23 used, together 306, with the measurements of the key RZ, (eens 29 396 = Zi if the hole and the threadjare alrea- | 28—J~ 78 dy on the motor shafiu¥3, indicate size und type of thredd as well as the depth of the hole. c) if the machine is to be equipped with the accelerator the motor must have \ two free shaft ends allowing also to wé7 728 2 at7 ato 609 725 Fig. 10 mount the pulley 765 shown in fig, 13, which drives the accelerator. llere again we need the exact measurements of the motor shaft and the key.

Check diameter of bar stock before machining it ‘The entire lengtli of the bar must pass through the guide bush freely, ‘This can be checked before loading by using a non-adjustable guide bush with a slightly smailer bore than the bush on the machine. The max, ‘diameter to - ierance on « bar admitted in order to obtain a safe clamping of the collet is +L OL mm (+ , 0u0a), 2. Sharpen tools before they are blurt Tools, drills, etc. should be sharpened regularly before they are blunt. This considerabiy shortens the time lost in sharpening tools and also guarantees greater precision and quality of work, (See also: adjustment of tools in Sec- tion V1, chapters 1 and 2), 3. Avoid tightening belis and especially Vee~belts, unduly Something is wrong somewhere if a belts has to be tightened unduly. The cause might be excessive clamping action of the collet, a worn out tool, jamming of threading tool, insufficient lubrication, etc. 4. During the viosing of a collet the camshaft drive should not be disengaged with the headstock spindle running The high tension developped during the clamping action will cause unneces~ sary Wear to the bearings. 5, The clamping of the collet should not be adjusted too tightly so as toliavoid breaking the Gamping jaws If points 1 and 2 are followed there will be no need to exaggerate the! clamp- ing action. 6, The tension of the recoil springs should not be greater thari required If the tension is too great the recoil. springs of the headstock, attachments and other devices will cause the parts concerned to be subjected to an ab normal amount of wear, * gages405° | Bet jaf injermeciate countershaft for igchmert on tol-holder ANDRE BECHLER Ltd.

I CHAPTER 4 2) ADJUSTING THE DRIVING BELTS it can happen that wREn the mavhine arrives at its destinatioj the belts have become either too loose or too tight, in spite of their properly adjusted before leaving our works. This is due to changeg, ture and the humidity inthe air, These belts should be readjusted,The driving belts of the headstock and the-turret ‘are tensioned by id- lers with spring action Which automatically adjust the belt under normal condi- tions. Shouid the beli be too short, reduce the tension of the spring by inserting je S-shaped eyelets. if the beits have become too short to do so, or if they have become too jong, they must be changed, Under no circumstances should « ma- | chine start working with a beit that is too tight. This can damage the bearings. | Hf the turret driving belts do not run in the center of the pulleys, turn, the idlers sideways around their fixing shafts, y @ CHAPTER § CHANGING THE HEADSTOCK DRIVING BEL’ Endless belts are changed as follows: A} On the headstouk (Fig. 17 and 18) 1, Remove cover 280 and 281. 2, Remove the 'rolier" lever (see instruction for headstock advance attach- s ment at the end of this hand book).

Replace belts 401 and 402, 7, Press down lever 144 to tension the belts, At the same time with the right hand, tighten bolt 26 (lefthand thread), $ Should it be necessary to remove the guard cover E completely, proceed as follows: a) Loosen winged screw 200 slightly (fig. 23). b) Pull the hinge rod in direction Fy until the thinner portions come into the slots in the hinge. c) Remove guard cover. Note: Do not loosen the wing screw 200 too much as the sleeve in the-left hinge eye must not be allowed to move sideways, ‘ Oe20 CHAPTER 8 ADJUSTING THE CAMSHAFT SPEED see Fig. 24 The lay-out indicates: «} number of revolutions per minuie (r. p.m, ) of the headstock spindle in propor- tion to the cutting speed Ve which is depending on the material to be machined; b) number of revolutions per minute of the headstock spindle during one revolu- tion of the camshaft {Nc : Nk). The number of parts produced per minute depends on the speed of the camshait. Normally, one part is turned duringone revolution of the camshaft, The charts ut the end of this inst: ution and those fixed to the cabinet base of the machine give various combinations for the gears H, J, K and L and the position of the Vee-belt 405 on the grooved pulleys F and G. These combinations allow 10 set tne ratio (Ne : Nky between the speed of the headstock spindle and the cam- shaft in order to correspond to the calculated production. Before the gears H, J. K and L can be changed, the Vee-belt 406 must be released by loosening the screw 767 and the grooved pulley F removed. To loo- sen the screw 787 use the special spanner 768 provided with the accessories. Raise the gear box 726 and remove the belt 406 from the grooved pulleys F and G (see note on page 21). To reduce noise and the wear, mount the gears so’ that a steel gear comes next to a pressed fibre or cast gear. The only exception is made for the very small gears which cannot be made of pressed fibre. Important: The Vee -belt 406 is sufficiently tensioned by the weight of the gear box 728 (screw 767 loosened). The screw 767 is then tightened without having to touch the gear box (see note on page 21). CHAPTER 9 WORM WHEEL DRIVE FOR CAMSHAFT. A) Working manner The worm wheel 207 which 18 mounted on the camshaft is driven by the following mechanism (see fig. 14 and 25): chain 730 (420) - sprocket 731 (206) - hub 732 - cap 46 - key 48 - driving collar 47 ~ safety pin 45 - driving shaft 49 - claw sleeve 733 - worm 240, (The numbers put in brackets are those shown in the driving diagramm fig. 14 on page 10}, In fig. 25 the automatic drive’of the camshaft has been switched on so that the claw sleeve 733 is engaged with the worm 240, The spring loaded locking pin 785 is in the groove A of the hand crank shaft 736 when the driving mechanism is in the position. To release the automatic drive, resp. to drive the camshaft by hand, shift the hand crank shaft 736 in the direction indicated by arrow F, which will change over the claw coupling of the worm 240 by the following movements: 1, claw sleeve 733 disengages itself from the worm 240; 2, claw tube 737 engages with the worm 240; 3, locking pin 735 snaps into the groove M and holds the hand crank shaft in this new position, The camshait.can ‘now be turned by hand and the worm runs freely on the idling worm shaft 738, Pull the hand crank 769 in the direction F, to engage the automatic drive of the camshaft.a 783-— 769 770 780 781 782 NOTE: Gearbox 728 is held by support 770, the lattér being fixed with 2 bolts 780 against base plate 781.

Should the torque vequired to drive the camshaft become excessively high, the safety pin 45 will break at its smallest section and prevent damage to the machine. To replace’a broken safety’pin proceed as follows: 1, Loosen serews 142 and remove cover 138, 2. Loosen screws 50 and remove cap 46, 34, Pull the driving collar 47 off the driving “shaft 49, J 4: Remove the broken parts of the safety pin 45 from the driving collar 47 and shaft 49. 38 A pin extractor can be used in the hole 57. \ =p 8.

Contrary to the machine (tself, the rear bracket 52 should be fixed to the floor. {f the floor is made of cement, the fixing serews for the bracket 52 should it 8 not necessary to prepare a special cement base. The bracket 52 is then fixed by wood screws. Please keep to the dimensions given in fig. 6. The iength A should always be about three quarters of the Jengtn L (1 ~ length of siovk feeding tube). [t18 preferable not to fix the auxiliary bracket 51 (fig. 3) to the floor, So that it can be shifted according to the length of the bar stock, The tube holder on the brackets 34 and 52 should be Set So that the stock feeding tube 29 is perfectly horizontal, The front bracket 34 (fig. 31) is attached to the shaft 28 at the end of the machine bed. The feeding tube 29 is held by a support 30, be let in, If the floor is made of wood, When the headstock is right at the back (i.e, when the cam follower is on the lowest point of the headstock advance carn), the distance “b'' should be from 100 to 120 mm (3 15/16" or 4 3/4"), If necessary, move the feeding tube 29 to keep this distance. The headstock pull back spring 31 is protected by a tube 32. After loo- Sening the screw 33, the tube 32 can be pulled backwards and the spring 31 ten- sioned, Avoid any exaggerated tension of the spring as this will cause unneces- sary wear to the cams and the feed mechanism, The tension\of the pull back spring $1 is normal when the headstock moves back without jerking and the, fol- lowers rests continually on the profile of the cam (see page 73).
