 WARNER & SWASEY 2AC
SINGLE SPINDLE CHUCKING AUTOMATIC
M-3200
The Warner & Swasey 2AC is specifically
designed to eliminate many of the time consum-
ing operations necessary when setting up jobs
on c am type machines. Consequently, the 2AC
can produce efficiently and profitably on short
run work, as well as medium and long run jobs.
The 2AC is equi pped with a 25 hp motor and
a 12-inch diameter air chuck and 12-inch air
cylinder. The turret turning stroke is 9 inches
and the cross slide stroke is 4-1/2 inches. In
a machining cycle, six automatically actuated
feeds can be selected from a range of 36 feeds.
Six speeds can also be obtained automatically
from a 12-speed range. Both right and left-
hand tapping and threading operations, ranging
from 7 to 32 threads per inch, can be performed
on the 2AC with either solid or collapsing
equipment.
Speeds are initiated automatically by actu-
ating electrical limit switches. The need for
changing pickoff gears has been eliminated by a
special arrangement of hydraulic clutches in a
self-contained spindle drive transmission unit.
Feed ranges may be selected for any job by
changing three sets of pickoff gears in the gear
box of the Feed and Threading Transmission.
Six automatic feeds can then be obtained through
a special arrangement of hydraulic clutches and
electrical limit switches.
All machine functions such as spindle speeds,
feeds, stroke lengths, rapid traversing, dwell,
late cross slide for recessing, and spindle re-
versing for threading are automatically con-
trolled by actuating electrical limit switches
with adjustable dogs, demountable switch oper-
ating screws and adjustable cam segments.
Setting up for a production run is simplified
by first setting the machine for hand operation.
If some phase of a job already running in auto-
matic cycle must be checked, the machine may
be reset to hand operation by the turn of a
switch located on the control panel.
All of the features and operating advantages
are fully described in this manual. The back
section contains clearance and standard tool
diagrams for the tool designer, and a step-by-
step procedure of a common job for the setup
man .

the coolant does not drain back to its reservoir
properly, elevate the turret end of the machine
slightly. Only 1/8 to 1/4-inch of the leveling
screws should e:,..,i:end out of each foot. If any
sc rew e:-..i:ends further than this di stance, ad-
ditional steel plates should be provide d to make
up the difference.
After leveling, allow the machine to set 24
hours. Then tighten all leve ling screws to the
same tension . The machine must then be lag-
ged down securely to the concrete foundation.
Remove the eye bolts from the top of the
headstock after the machine has been leveled .
The motor enclosure hood will not open fully if
the eyebolts are left in place.
The rust preventive solution sprayed on all
bright metal and sliding surfaces should be re-
moved with clean wiping cloths soaked in
solvent. The solvent used must be non-caustic
in action, for caustics will injure the paint and
finished surfaces. A stiff brush will get into
the corners. Never use an air hose either for
cleaning or during a production run. The pres-
sure will drive dirt or grit into the bearing
surfaces. After cleaning, wipe all bearing sur-
faces with a cloth dampened in machine oil.
Make sure all dirt and grit are removed.
The 2AC is now ready for electrical and air
line connections . See Fig. 2 . The air line
pressure should be approximately 80 to 100 psi.
Adjust the air pressure with the control knob
provide d on the air control panel. The electri-
cal connections to the machine should be in
accordance with the wiring diagram, and all
work done should conform to the electrical code.
Before any attempt is made to start the ma-
chine, read the two sections - "Lubrication,
Coolant, Ai r Control, 11 and "Starting and Stop-
ping the 2AC Machine. 11
 LUBRICATION, COOLANT, AIR CONTROL

Lubrication System
The proper lubrication of your 2AC machine
is of vital importance. Before attempting to
start the machine observe the following instruc-
tions closely.
Simplicity of lubrication has been specifically
desig·ned into the 2AC machine. There are two
lubricating oil reservoirs which provide com-
plete lubrication to the entire machine . The
proper oil level in these reservoirs should be
maintained at all times.

Main Oil Reservoir

The main oil reservoir furnishes oil to the Fig. 3. (1) Main drive motor, (2) coolant
hydraulic speed and feed clutches, the entire pump motor, (3) Feed and Threading Trans-
gear train, and all bearings in the main column mission gear box, (4) main air supply inlet .
of the machine. The reservoir should be filled
to the level of the filler opening. Approximately
12 gallons of oil are required to fill the reser-
voir. Check the sight gage oil level daily. Add
o il when the level drops to the minimum level
line on the sight gage. For detailed hydraulic
oil s pecifications, see Warner & Swasey Lubri-
cating Oil Specification No . H-10 in your
Service Manual .

 The same oil recommended for the main oil
reservoir should be used to fill the cross slide
reservoir. Approximately 5 quarts will be re-
quired. Fill the reservoir until the oil reaches
the top of the filler tube. See (1) Fig. 6. When
the oil level drops to the line on the sight gage
(2), more oil should be added.

Caution
The 2AC should not be operated if the oil
level is below the gage line . Check this
oil level daily.

= ~ fl To drain the cross slide reservoir, remove
the plate to which the oil filler tube is attached.
The cross slide reservoir should be drained,
cleaned, and refilled with new hydraulic oil at

drop to between 70 and 90 psi when the spindle
is stopped in brake position. The sight feed
lubrication indicator, (2) Fig. 5, shows that
the lubricating oil distribution system is
~-
functioning .
A drain pipe for the main oil reservoir is
located just to the left of the main column of the
machine at the bottom, and extends through the
motor enclosure hood, (5) Fig. 4 . The reser-
voir should be drained and refilled with new Fig. 6. (1) Cross slide oil filler tl.tbe,
hydraulic oil according to the following schedule: (2) sight gage for cross slide reservoir oil
level, (3) air exhaust hose start lot 88,
Every six months for one-shift operation.
Every four months for two-shift operation. (4) water drain tube start lot 88.
Every two months for three-shift operation.
Electric Motors
Change the oil filter cartridge each time the
hydraulic oil is changed. The 2AC has three electric motors which
may require periodic attention and lubrication.
They are the main drive motor, the coolant
pump motor, and the lubricating oil pump drive
motor.
Cross Slide Oil Reservoir Various makes of motors may be shipped with
The cross slide reservoir furnishes oil to different 2AC machines. The motor manufac-
both front and rear cross slides and the actuat- turers' recommendations should be obtained for
ing mechanism inside the cross slide housing. the proper lubricant and schedules. Generally,
The oil is distributed to the cross slide bearing these three motors should be dismantled,
surfaces by an automatic Bijur pwnp. cleaned, and the bearings checked once a year.

8
 Main Drive Motor Coupling
The flexible coupling (8) Fig. 4 between the
main drive motor and the spindle drive trans-
mission is a gear-type coupling requiring
periodic lubrication. Although it is properly
packed during assembly, the coupling should be
checked and repa cked after every six months of
one-shift operation.
Remove the two lubricating plugs, located
180° apart on the outside diameter, and position
the coupling so that the holes are approximately
45° off the horizontal c e nter line. Apply anti-
friction bearing grease of No. 1 consistency to
one hole until it begins to emerge from the op-
posite hole . Wipe off the excess grease and
replace the plugs . Be sure the plugs are tight
to prevent leakage.
Fig. 7. (1) Air pressure reg ulator, (2) oil
flow control knob, (3) oil fille r plug, (4) water
drain control, (5) oil level sight gage, (6) air
pressure gage.
Air Control Panel
1
An air control panel is mounted on the front
side of the machine directly below the operator's
; control panel. See Figs. 5 and 7. This panel
reg ulates, filters and lubricates the air supply
to the rotating air cylinder on the rear of the
spindle.
The pressure to the air cylinder is regulated
by the air pressure regulator knob directly
above the air pressure gage.
For machines prior to lot 88, lubrication of
the air supply is regulated by the oil flow control
lmob. This knob should be adjusted so that a
fine spray of oil is blown from the exhaust tube
when the air chuck knob is actuated.
Oil is replenished in the air lubricating
reservoir by removing the oil filler plug and
filling to the gage line with a good grade of
lubricating oil.
NOTE: Be sure the air pressure is OFF
and relieved before removing the oil filler
plug.
A filter is built into the air control panel to
strain out condensation and dirt in the air sup-
ply before it reaches the air cylinder. The
water which collects in the filter may be drained
out through the air panel drain tube by turning
the water drain control knob. See (4) Fig. 7.
NOTE: It is important to avoid excessive
accumulation of water in the air system.
In some shops it may be necessary to drain
the water from the air panel daily.
The filter should be removed once a month
and the accumulated dirt and rust particles
cleaned out. The filter is located behind and
attached to the air pressure regulator.
Air Chuck & Air Cylinder Gland
The grease fitting on the outside diameter of
the air chuck should be greased once every day
if the machine is run consistently at high
speeds . Otherwise, twice a week is sufficient.
The air cylinder running gland at the rear of
the air cylinder is packed during assembly and
does not require periodic lubrication.
Coolant System
Any cutting fluid may be used in the 2AC
machine which is not injurious to exposed ma-
chine surfaces or to the workpiece finish.
Cutting fluid manufacturers ' recommendations,
or your own shop experience, may be followed
as to the selection of the proper cutting fluid for
any particular job. The recommended 2AC
coolant system capacity for normal operations
is 100 gallons.
NOTE: Coolant level should not be higher
than the bottom of the cross slide base
casting at any time.
Coolant Pump
A motor-driven coolant pump (2) Fig. 3
circulates the cutting fluid to the several dis-
tribution hoses. The "Coolant" switch for the
coolant pump is located on the operator's con-
trol panel. When this switch is in the INTER-
1'1ITTENT position, the coolant will flow only
when the spindle is running.

 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
Terminal Screws
It is recomme nded that all terminal screws
and components in the control cabinet be che cked
at regular intervals . Refer to the Preventive
Main tenance Check List on Page 4 for the fr e -
quency of inspection that should be made . Check
the screws on terminal boards and relays and
t ighten, if ne cessary, before starting the ma-
chine. Thi s is especially impo rtant, for vibra-
tion in transit may have loo sened some of the
screws. Keep all electrical enclosures c lean
and t ightly closed.

ll mal overload in any one of the motor circuits
will stop the entire machine.
The main drive motor is further protected by
a thermostat built into the frame. This device
prevents an excessive temperature rise as a
result of exceeding the motor's reversal ca-
pacity, or from faihU'es in the motor itself such
as single phasing. Should the thermostat "kick
out" dm·ing a n automatic cycle, the machine
will continue to operate to the e nd of the cycle
but will not p er mit another cycle to be started.
The main drive motor will continue to run, and
when cooled sufficiently, the thermostat will
automatically r eset itself, permitting the a uto-
matic cycle to be restarted.
Another overload featm·e is provided in the
main disco1rnect or e ntrance switch (1) Fig . 8 .
Total current in excess of the rating of this
switch will cause the switch to trip.
NOTE: In addition to actual current over-
loads, high line voltage may cause these
thermal protective devices to function.
Excessive heat from any other source such
as nearby radiators, high air tempera tures ,
or radiantly heated floors may a lso affect
thermal protection.
Time Delay Devices
Two tim e delay devices are incorpora ted in the
e lectrica l circuit of the 2AC. They are desig-
na ted as "TR" a nd "STR" on the wiring diagrams.
The TR time delay (3) Fig . 8 allows the turret
to lose its rapid traverse momentum before the
feed clutches are engaged. This time delay de-
vice provides control of the turret motion so
that the turret consistently cuts into feed from
rapid traverse at the same point for any given
setting of a feed dog.
This timer i s adjustable, although it is preset
at the factory. However, air temperatures may
affect it slightly because it is pneuma tic. The
weight of turret tools may also affect it.
If the feed start point for any turret station is
found to b e inconsistent during the run of a
given job, an adjustment of this timer may be
necessary. The adjusting screw is on the front
of the relay at the bottom. Turn the adjusting
screw clockwise to increase the time delay;
counter-clockwise to decrease the time delay.
A damaged coil in the timer can also cause an
over-ride in the rapid traverse motion of the
tooled turret. In this case, a new coil will
correct the condition without adjustment of the
timer.
The STR time delay (4) Fig. 8 is operative
only when a switch operating screw on the index
control drum requests SPINDLE STOP on tur-
ret return, for a straight cutter withdrawal
mark on the workpiece.
Although spindle braking is almost instan-
taneous, the STR timing device provides a slight
additional time delay to assure that the spindle
will come to a complete stop before the rapid
traverse reverse motion occurs .
Occasional adjustment of the time delay may
be required to suit individual jobs because
slightly more time is required to bring the
spindle to a complete stop from the highest
speeds than from the lowest speeds. This ad-
justment is accomplished in the same manner
as outlined above for the TR time delay.
Wiring Color Code
All wiring within the electrical control cabinet
is color coded in accordance with the National
Machine Tool Builders Association electrical
standards. All AC power line circuits (220,
440, 550 volts) are black. The 110 volts AC
control circuits are red. DC control circuits
are blue .
Direct Current Circuit
The selenium disc rectifier (2) Fig. 8 sup-
plies 90 volts of DC current for the magnetic
disc type rapid traverse brake. The direct cur-
rent circuit is protected by a 1 amp. cartridge-
type fuse (6) Fig. 8. Protection of all the con-
trol circuits on the control panel is provided by
a 15 amp. cartridge-type fuse (5) Fig. 8.
Overload Release Clutches
On 2AC machines built in Lot 42 and later
there are overload release clutches provided as
an integral part of both pentagon turret and
cross slide drives. If an accident occurs that
prevents either the cross slides or the pentagon
turret from advancing, the particular protective
overload release clutch disengages the feed and
automatically actuates a micro-switch that will
stop every m~tor on the machine immediately.
If it is necessary to withdraw a tool from the
workpiece, reset the overload release clutch
involved and rotate the hub on the rapid traverse
motor counter-clockwise by hand .
See your Service Manual for instructions on
resetting the overload release clutches and for
re-timing the machine.

Caution
After starting the main drive motor DO
NOT OPERATE any of the controls on the
operator's control panel without first
checking for hydraulic pressure on the
hydraulic pressure gage .
If the hydraulic pressure gage fails to register
any pressure, the main electrical power lines
are probably reversed, causing all motors to
run backwards. The turret cam drum might be
damaged if the rapid traverse motor runs back-
wards; for should the "Turret Rapid Traverse
Forward" buttons be depressed, the motor,
running backwards, will try to force the turret
back further.
The correct direction of rotation of the main
drive motor is indicated by a red arrow painted
on the motor housing. Make sure SPINDLE
REVERSE is not called for.
NOTE: In step 4, it is important that the
main air line be turned on and the pressure
be above 45 psi so that the main motor will
start. This minimum air pressure is
necessary to operate an air switch. See

When the procedures called for in the pre-
ceding instructions have been completed, the
following steps should be taken to set the ma-
chine up for production.
1 . Select and install the correct feed change
gears. See "Selec tion of Speeds and Feeds,"
page 14.
2. Se t tool holders and cutters on the tool
slides. See "Tooling and Se tup, " page 33 .
3. Set the various trip dogs, switch operating
screws, and adjustable cam segments in order
to operate the job in an automatic cycle.
These operations are easily accomplished by
first setting the machine to Hand Operation
Control. See page 16.
Stop Button-Shutting the
machine down
A "Stop" button on the operator's control
panel is normally used to shut the machine down
for any length of time, such as at lunch time,
at the end of the shift, or over-night. When
stopping the machine, always be sure the turret
is all the way out (irt the index position) before
stopping the main drive motor and turning the
power line circuit breaker off. The "Stop" but-
ton may also be used as an emergency stop if
absolutely necessary. However, the "Caution"
note to the right should be observed, and when
operating in automatic cycle, the "Emergency
Tool Withdrawal" method should be used when-
ever possible to preserve the cutting tools.
To Start Machine after
brief shutdown
The following starting instructions apply
whether the machine has been stopped manually
by means of the "STOP" button, whether due
to under-voltage, or to a drop in the shop air
line pressure .
1. Place the "Machine Control" switch in the
HAND position.
2. Turn the "Spindle Control" switch to OFF.
3. Turn the "Hand Feed" switch to OFF.
4. Press the "Motor Start" button.
5. Return the turret to its maximum "out11
position by pressing the "Turret Rapid Traverse
Reverse" button.
The machine is now ready for hand operation.
If the machine has been running in automatic
cycle and it is desired to continue doing so:
1. Turn the "Machine Control" switch to AUTO.
2. Start the cycle by pressing the "Cycle
Start" button.
Emergency Tool Withdrawal
During Cutting Operation
When the machine is operating in automatic
cycle, and a variety of cutters are engaged in
the workpiece, using the "Stop" button in an
emergency will damage the cutting tools. If
there is time to do so, the following method of
tool withdrawal will preserve the cutting tools
and get them away quickly.
MACHINES BUILT AFTER LOT 100.
Starting with machines in lot 100, 2AC Ma-
chines are equipped with a yellow Rapid Traverse
Reverse Button. If your machine has this yellow
Rapid Traverse Reverse Pushbutton, you can
withdraw all cutting tools and stop the spindle
by merely pressing and holding this button.
MACHINES BUILT PRIOR TO LOT 100.
For emergency tool withdrawal on machines
not equipped with the yellow Rapid Traverse
Reverse Pushbutton follow these steps:
1. With the machine control switch still in
the AUTO position, press and hold the Rapid
Traverse Reverse pushbutton.
2. Turn the machine control switch from
AUTO to HAND.
Caution
To stop the machine completely during a
cutting operation, when there is not enough
time to use the above method and thus save
the tools, pressing the "Stop" button will
bring everything to a complete stop immedi-
ately. Do not stop the machine in this man-
_ner unless an extreme emergency exists.

 SELECTION OF SPEEDS AND FEEDS

r
.,
Selection of Spindle Speeds
Spindle speeds in the 2AC are obtained auto-
matically by speed dogs on the main control
drwn and a LOW-HIGH shift lever (2) Fig . 1.3.
The need for changing pickoff gears has been
eliminated by a series of hydraulic clutches in
a constantly-meshed gear train.
The 2AC has a total of 12 spindle speeds
available in two ranges of six speeds each . See
Fig. 12. The LOW range (38 to 496 rpm) or the
HIGH range (82 to 1058 rpm) of six speeds is
preselected to suit the job requirements by set-
ting the LOW- HIGH shift gear . The setting of
the shift gear is accomplished by pressing the
removable lever in, and turning it to the de-
s ired range.
Any one or more of the 6 speeds in the range
selected can then be obtained for a particular Fig. 13. (1) Air chuck control knob , (2) re-

Note the center shaft O with its stack of three
gears, and the outer shafts 1, 2, and 3 with
only one gear each. These shafts are shown
schematically in three columns on the speed and

ease in listing the resulting feeds. Shafts 4 and
5 are used for left-hand threading and their
operation and use will be fully discussed in the
section "Tapping and Threading Operations. "
Directly be neath each of the three shaft sche-

immediately start to rapid traverse away from
the spindle and will stop when either the push
button is released or the turret reaches the end
of its travel.
6. Press the "Index" button until index mo-
tion starts, and then release the button. This
will index the turret one station. Test index the
turret to all stations by successively depressing
and releasing the "Index" button. It is neces-
sary to wait until the turret has stopped in each
station before the button will be effective for
the next station.
7 . Press the "Turret Rapid Traverse For-
ward" button. The rapid traverse forward mo-
tion of the turret will be stopped by releasing
the pus h button, or when the turret reaches the
e nd of its forward travel.
8. Now rapid traverse the turret all the way
out from the spindle.
General Notes
The "Spindle Jog" button on the control panel
will enable you to position chucks and fixtures,
effortlessly, for loading and unloading ease.
When the "Machine Control" switch is turned
from AUTO to HAND during an automatic cycle,
it is necessary to rapid traverse the turret to
the end of its reverse stroke in order for the
"Turret Rapid Traverse Forward" button, the
"Spindle Control" switch, and the "Spindle Jog"
button to become effective .
The duplicate set of "Turret Rapid Traverse"
and "Index" push buttons on the column
at the rear of the machine (Fig. 16) will save
time and simplify the setting of tooling on the
rear cross slide. Their operation is the same
as their counterparts on the front operator's
control panel . A "Stop" push button is also
provided for emergencies.

9. Set the "Spindle Control" switch to RUN.

The spindle will revolve at speeds determined
by the setting of the "Hand Spindle Speed
Selector" switch on the control panel, and by
the setti ng of the LOW-HIGH gear shift. The
six nwnerical settings of the switch correspond
to the same numbers on the speed and feed
chart, depending upon the range determined by
the LOW-HIGH shift. When the spindle is run-
ning , the "Hand Spindle Speed Selector" switch
may be successively set to any of its six po-
sitions without damage to the machine.

Caution
When e ngaging speed ranges with the LOW-
HIGH shift, the spindle must be stopped to
prevent damaging the gears.
10. With the spindle revolving, rapid traverse
the turret forward 2 inches from its maximum
"out" position. Now set the "Hand Feed" switch
to ON. The "Hand Feed" switch is effective
only when the turret is slightly forward from Fig. 16. Duplicate control buttons next to
its outermost position . The turret will feed the electrical control cabinet.
toward the spindle at a rate determined by the
setting of the "Hand Feed Selector" switch and
the combinations of the pickoff gears in the
Feed and Threading Transmission gear box.
The six numerical settings of the selector
switch correspond to the feed number columns
on the speed and feed chart. The selector
switch may, without injury to the machine, be
randomly positioned from feed 1 through feed 6
while the spindle is running.

l'l
 AUTOMATIC OPERATION CONTROL
Assuming all the steps for hand operation
have been taken successfully, the 2AC may now
be converted to automatic control of the ma-
chining cycle by:
1. Setting switches on the control panel.
2. Setting speed and feed dogs, switch oper-
ating screws, and adjustable cam segments to
control the machine functions in automatic cycle
according to the requirements of the job setup.
Setting Switches on Operator's
Control Panel
In order for the 2AC to cycle automatically
when the "Cycle Start" button is pressed, it is
necessary to set three switches on the oper-
ator's control panel (Fig. 15) as follows:
1. Set the "Spindle Control" switch to OFF .
2. Set the "Hand Feed" switch to OFF.
3. Set the "Machine Control" switch to AUTO.
Setting Speed and Feed Dogs,
Switch Operating Screws, and
Adiustable Cam Segments
The selection and cutting in of the various
machine functions such as speeds, feeds, cross
slides, dwell, etc ., is accomplished by trip

dogs, operating screws or cam segments in
three general areas: See Fig. 17.
1. Main Control Drum
2. Index Control Drum
3. Cam Drum Assembly
Main Control Drum
The design of the 2AC is unique, in that the
pentagon turret bar passes through the head of
the machine and connects the pentagon turret to
the main control drum. Thus, the t urret and
the main control drum bear a constant longi-
tudinal relationship to each other at all times.
It is, therefore , convenient to use movable
dogs, (3) and (4) Fig. 17, to .initiate speeds and
feeds, and to adjust stroke lengths . The mova-
ble dogs trip limit switches mounted in a
bracket control box attached to the head of the
machine. These limit switches control:
1. Rate of feed.
2. Spindle speed.
3. Longitudinal position of the turret at which
the turret motion changes from rapid traverse
forward to a particular feed.
4. Longitudinal position of the turret at which
a change in spindle speed or a change in feed
rate occurs .
NOTE: The operating face of the pentagon
turret is nearly horizontal and faces the
spindle. The corresponding operating face
of the main control drum is in a vertical
plane adjacent to the limit switches.
Index Control Drum
The index control drum (2) Fig. 17 is an
integral part of the turret indexing mechanism
illustrated in Fig. 10. Thus, the index control
drum rotates with the turret providing a con-
stant radial relationship between the two. This
permits the use of switch operating screws on
the outside diameter of the drum which contact
limit switches in the bracket control box. These
limit switches control the selection of nine ma-
chine functions which can be applied to each
turret face as required by the job.
They are:
1. Rear Cross Slide
2. Dwell Selector
3. Front Cross Slide
 4. Tap
5. Index
6. Cycle Stop
7. Late Cross Slide
8. Reverse Feed or Spindle Stop
9. Spindle Reverse
You will note on the index control drum switch
plate that four limit switch positions are blank.
These limit switches are used for special op-
tional machine equipment such as a t\vo- speed
motor .
Cam Drum Assembly
The cam drum assembly (6) Fig. 17 controls
electrical timing in addition to selecting some
of the machine's functions. You will note that
the cam drum switch plate (Fig. 19) indicates
four adjustable cam segments on the cam drum
which contact limit switches and provide:
NOTE: To bring the cam drum segments
into op eration, it is necessary to insert the
proper switch operating screws in the index
control drum.
cross slide operation will dwell on the work-
piece.
4 . FEED START-LATE CROSS SLIDE
Stops rapid traverse and selects the starting
point or stroke length of a late cross slide
operation.
The six fixed cams control the start of index,
start of rapid traverse reverse at the end of the
turret feed stroke, normal and late cross slide
timing switches, and t\vo safety switches.
Speed and Feed Dogs
Speed and feed dogs are used on the 2AC to
cut in speeds and feeds, and to determine feed
stroke lengths. These dogs "trip" limit switches
in the bracket control box mounted on the main
column of the machine. The dogs are shown in
Fig. 20. Note that they are used for both feeds
and speeds . Speed numbers are stamped on
one side and feed numbers on the other. The
numbers correspond to the speed and feed col-
umns listed on the speed and feed chart, Fig. 12.

Automatic Speed Selection
At the start of an automatic cycle, the spindle
will not begin to run w1til the speed limit
switches are depressed by a speed dog. If speed
1 is to be used in the first tooling station, the
dog stamped SPEED 1 should be placed at the
extreme outward end of the top slot in the cor-
responding control drum operating face, with
the stamped speed number facing outward. See
Fig. 21. Pla cing the speed dog at the end of the
slot will cause the spindle to start while the
turret is rapid traversing, insuring that the
spindle will be running at full speed when the
cutting tools engage the workpiece.
After a speed dog has depressed the speed
limit switches to start the spindle running, the
spindle will continue to revolve, throughout the
entire machining cycle, at that selected speed
until another speed dog contacts the limit
switches. Therefore, to initiate a different
speed for ~be next tooling station, a speed dog
of the desired value must be placed at the end
of the top slot of the control drum operating
face_ which corresponds to the second tooling
stat10n. NOTE: If two succeeding faces of the
turret require the same speed , install identical
speed dogs on both corresponding control ctrum
faces. Then , if the automa tic cycle should be
interrupted for any reason, automatic operation

may be resumed without hand indexing the
turret all the way arow1d to the preceding sta-
tion in order to start the spindle running at the
correct speed.
In addition to speed changes between tooling
stations, speed changes within a single station
may be set up merely by pla cing additional
speed dogs in the top slot of the main control
drum operating face . F or example, consider a
work-piece which requires a long , sma ll-
turning cut. Both cuts may be m ade in one
the majority of the hole at a high speed and
dropping to a lower speed before the turning
cutter contacts the larger diameter.
After the second speed is actua ted, _however,
the turret must travel 7 / 8" before a ny succeed-
ing speed change may be made, because of the
width of the spe ed dogs.
Two-Speed Motor Control
(For machines equipped with two-speed motors
only.)
On machines equipped with a two -s peed motor,
the motor normally operates in the high range.
To select speeds in the low motor range , place
an operating screw in the Index Control Drum
opposite the limit switch marked LOW MOTOR.
This switch marking will not appear on ma chines
with single speed motors.
You can select spe eds from both motor ranges
in the same setup, but you cannot use speeds
from the two different r a nges within a single
station. Therefore, a two-speed motor gives
twenty-four possible spindle speeds, twelve of
which are available in a single setup with a
choice of 6 spee ds per station. Mach ine s with
two-speed motors have special spindle speed
charts in place of the standard chart shown in
Fig. 15.
NOTE: Do not confuse the high and low
ranges of a two-speed motor with the stand-
ard high- low shifter which is found on all
2AC machines.

Turret Feed Selection
Feed dogs are used both to initiat.e the
desired feeds and to determine feed stroke
lengths. The particular feed dog used controls
the feed rat.e, and its position along the bottom
slot of the main control drum face controls the
feed cut-in point. To position a feed dog for
stopping rapid traverse and initiating a feed,
rapid traverse the turret forward, by hand, to
within 1/8" from the point at which the first
cutter will contact the workpiece. Then slide
the dog along the slot until it just begins to de-
press the feed limit switches, and lock the dog
sectu-ely in place. U, after a trial cut is made,
it is found that an excessive amount of time is
spent in "feed" before the cutt.er engages the
workpiece, move the dog a compensating dis-
tance toward the closed end of the drum.
On many jobs it may be desirable to change
the turret feed rate while under cut. For ex-
ample, there may be instances where turning
or facing cutters will be used to slab face or
form, requiring a finer feed at the end of the
cutting stroke. To set up the feed change for
this type of operation, place an additional feed Fig. 24. Switch operating screws to select

Feed rates for late cross slide operations are
selected by dogs on the main control drum, but
feed strokes are cut in by adjustable cams on
the cam drum assemb ly. Referring to Fig. 26,
which shows the cam drum switch p late, yo u
will note two designations for late cross slide
feed starts - FEED START - LATE CROSS
SLIDE and SECOl\TD FEED START - LA TE
CROSS SLIDE. These two cams provide: (1) feed
stroke for late cross slide in one station, (2) two
different feed strokes for late cross s lide i n
one station, or (3) two separate late cross slide
feed strokes . . . one in each of two separate
stations. Once these cams have been adjusted
for particular feed strokes, they cannot be
adjusted to new settings for subsequent late
cross slide operations in the s a me job cycle.
However , these cams may be used to initiate
feed strokes in other late cross slide stations if
the feed stTokes already set can be used.
To Set Up One Feed for

Control Panel is set for LA TE CROSS SLIDE
ONLY.
3b. Set the machine for hand operation a nd
rapid traverse the turret forward until the tur-
ret reaches the end of its forward stroke a nd
the cross slide(s) , that ha ve been chosen to
operate, just begin to rapid traverse.
3c. P lace the required feed dog in the bottom
s lot on the main control drum operating face
with the stamped feed number toward the open
end of the drum (Fig. 25) . Position the feed
dog so that the feed limit switches are held
depressed while the turret is in the maximum
forward position arrived at in 3b.
NOTE: If the feed switches are not held
depressed, the cross slides will continue
to rapid traverse forward when the machine
is switched to automatic operation.
3d. Continue the forward traverse motion of
the cross slide or slides by means of the "Rapid
22
Traverse Forward" button until the cutting tool
approaches its work position.
3e. Adjust the fourth cam segment from the
outer encl of the cam drum assembly. This cam
segment operates the switch marked FEED
START -- LATE CROSS S LIDE which cuts in
the feed for the late cross slide. See Fig. 26.
Adjustment of the seg ment is accomplished by
loosening the clamping screws a t the outer end
of the assembly. See (2) Fig. 27 . As a pre-
liminary adjustment of this cam segment, set
one-third of the cam rise to the right or clock-
wise of the switch tripping position. If, after a
tra il cut, it is folmcl that excessive time is
spent in feed before the cutter enters the work-
piece, the segment can be rotated counter-
cloch.-\vise a compensating distance until the
cross slide cuts into feed approximately 1/ 8 to
1/1 6 of a n inch fr om the point at which the
cutter enters the work. Approximately 30° ro-
tation of the segment corresponds to one inch
of cross slide move m e nt.

dog in place of the late feed dog mentioned
above. In this case, place the standard dog
in the second slot from the bottom of the
main control drum with its stamped speed
number facing the open end of the drum.
Regardless of which type of dog you use, it
must be positioned so that the feed limit
switches are held depressed while the turret is
in its farthest forward position.
4d. Adjust the fourth cam segment from the
outer end of the cam drum asse mbly as outlined
in 3d and 3e. This segment operates the switch
marked FEED START -- LA TE CROSS SLIDE
and determines the cut-in pointof the first feed.
4e. When the late cross slide or slides reach
the point where the second feed is required, it
is nec essary to adjust the second cam segment
from the outer end of the cam drum assembly.
This cam segment operates the switch marked
SECOND FEED START -- LATE CROSS SLIDE.
Actuating this s witch drops out the first feed
and cuts in the s e cond feed. This SECOND
FEED START -- LATE CROSS SLIDE cam seg-
ment is a djusted in a manner similar to the
adj us tment of the FEED START -- LATE
CROSS SLIDE cam. By means of the hand con-
trols, h·averse the la te cross slide or slides to
the point a t which the second feed start should
begin. Loosen the clamping screws a t the open
end of the cam drum asse mbly and adjust the
SECOND FEED START -- LATE CROSS SLIDE
cam clockwise until the limit switch button just
beg ins to ride up on the cam rise. Tighten the
screws and check the starting point of the
second feed start. A slight counter-cloch.·wise
adjustment of the cam will start the feed later
(shorten the stroke) and a cloch.-wise adjustment
will start the feed earlier (le ngthen the stroke).
NOTE: When making cam adjustments on the
cam drum assembly c are should be taken not to
move adjacent cams out of position. Always
tighten the two clamping screws after each ad-
justment before checking their operation.
To Set Up Two Feeds in Two Dif-
ferent Late Cross Slide Operations
5a. Set the "Feed" switch on the operator's
control panel to LA TE CROSS SLIDE ONLY.
5b. For both stations being set up for late
cross slide operation, insert switch operating
screws in the Index Control Drum to select
either or both cross slides as desired and also
LA TE CROSS SLIDE. See Fig. 24.
5c. Compare the lengths of the feed strokes
required in the two stations.
5d. For the station requiring the longer feed
stroke, place a feed dog in the bottom slot of
the Main Control Drum. Position this dog so
that it depresses the feed limit switches when
the turret is in its maximum forward position.
See Fig. 25.
5e. In the station requiring the longer feed
stroke, rapid traverse the cross slide forward
until the cutting tool is approximately 1/8" from
the workpiece. Then loosen the two clamping
screws on the outer end of the Cam Drum
Assembly and set the FEED START-LATE
CROSS SLIDE cam segment so that 3/8" of the
rise portion of the cam is clockwise or to the
right of the limit switch. Additional clockwise
adjustment starts the feed sooner (lengthens the
feed stroke). Additional counter-clockwise
adjustment starts the feed later (shortens the
feed stroke).
5£. For the station requiring the shorter feed
stroke, place a " late feed" dog in the bottom
slot of the main control drum operating face.
NOTE: If you do not have a set of "late feed"
dogs you can use a standard speed dog in place
of the late feed dog. In this case, place the speed
dog in the second slot from the bottom of the
main control drum with its stamped speed num-
ber facing the open end of the main control drum.
Regardless of which type of dog you use it
should be positioned so that the feed limit
switches are depressed when the turret is in its
farthest forward position.

 5g. The initiation of feed in the station with
the shorter feed stroke is accomplished by
setting the SECOND FEED START- LA TE CROSS
SLlDE cam segment. See Fig. 26. To set this
cam, rapid h·averse the cross slides forward
until the cutting tool is 1/8" from the start of
its cut. Then, loosen the clamping screws on
the outer end of the Cam Drum Assembly and
set the second cam segment so that the limit
switch ju st starts to ride up on the cam rise . If
a trial cut indicates that too much time is spent
in feed before the cutter contacts the worh.--piece,
a slight cow1ter-clockwise adjustment of this
cam will start the feed la ter (shorten the
sh·oke).
NOTE: It makes no difference which of the
two late cross slide feed strokes operates
first in the setup or which you set up first.

Dwell of Cutting Tools
It is frequently desirable that a cutting edge
dwell against a work surface for a few revolu-
tions of the spindle to establish size or hold
finish requirements . The turret and both cross
slides (whether set for normal or late opera-
tion) can be set for dwell.
If the proper operating screws are set in the
index control drum so the cross slides operate
normally with the turret, then both the cross
slides and the turret will dwell at the end of
their feed strokes for the particular station or
stations required.
To Set Dwell of Turret with
Normal Cross Slide Operation
or Without Cross Slides Operating
1. Select the turret face on which dwell is re-
quired and insert an operating screw in the index
control drum in the proper hole to operate the
switch marked DWELL SELECTOR. See Fig. 29.
2 . To vary the length of time the c utters
dwell on the workpiece from the normal built-in
dwell requires adjustment of the first cam
segment from the outer end of the cam drum
24
assembly. See Fig. 26. This cam segment
operates the switch marked DWELL ADJUST-
MENT. This adj ustment is niade by loosening
the clamping screws at the end of the assembly
and moving the first cam segment counter-
clockwise for more dwell , or clockwise for less
dwell. NOTE: There is only about 1/4-inch
total movement possible for this segment, and
usually a very small adjustment is satisfactory
for average dwell conditions.
IMPORTANT : Si.nee there is but one ad-
justment for length of dwell, a nd dwell may
be required for more than one face of the
turret, the length of dwell should be ad-
justed for the face using the coarsest feed.
Also, dwell will occur on a tooling station
only if the nece ssary settings are made as
outlined above for that station.
To Set Dwell of Late Cross
Slide Operations
1. Arrange the n ecessary operating screws,
dogs, and cam settings to establish late cross
slide operation as described on page 21.
2. Omit the setting of the DWELL SELECTOR
operating screw on the index control drum.
3. Adjust the third cam segment from the
outer end of the cam drum assemb ly in the
manner previously described . This cam seg-
m e nt operates the switch marked LA TE CROSS
SLlDE DWELL. See Fig. 26. Move the seg-
ment counter- clockwise for more dwell or clock-
wise for l ess dwell. There is only abou t 1/ 4-inch
total movement possible for this cam segment,
and when it is in the extreme clockwise position,
there is no dwell for a late cross s l ide . If more
than one late cross slide operation requires
dwell, the cam segment s hould be adjusted on
the operation using the coarsest feed .

To Stop the Machine in
Automatic Cycle
To have the machine stop automatically at the
completion of a workpiece it is necessary to
mount a switch operating screw on the index
control drum opposite the switch marked
CYCLE STOP. This switch operating screw
should be placed on the control drum along with
the other necessary operating screws control-
ling the first turret face used when starting a
new piece.
It is also important to install an INDEX oper-
ating screw on station one of the index control
drum to prevent the turret from skip indexing
the first machining station.
To Skip Index
To index past a turret face automatically,
without going through a work stroke on that face,
it is only necessary to OMIT placing an opera-
ting screw in the index control drum. These
screws normally operate the switch marked
INDEX and they are above the other operating
screws in the control drum. See Fig. 30.
Note that the direction of rotation is counter-
clockwise when viewed from the main control
drum end of the machine, and thus, the INDEX
screw, when in position, contacts the limit
switch before the other screws come into con-
tact position. Each machining station requires
an INDEX operating screw and, when present,
the index will be stopped at the next turret face.
When this operating screw is not installed, the
turret will continue to index until an operating
screw comes into position to trip the INDEX
switch.
Single Turret Face Operation
An occasional job will arise on the 2AC re-
quiring only one turret face operation with one
or both of the cross slides operating. To per-
mit repeated automatic single face operation
without the turret indexing completely around it
is only necessary to install a CYCLE STOP
operating screw on the proper face of the index
control drum, and to turn the "Single Face
Operation" switch, Fig. 15, to ON. This switch
is operative only when the "Machine Control"
switch is in the AUTO position. The start of
each automatic single face operation is then
controlled by the "Cycle Start" push button. At
the end of the cycle the turret will rapid trav-
erse away from the work and the spindle will
stop and be ready for unloading the finished part
and loading the next workpiece.
Spindle Stop on Turret Return
On an occasional job it may be desirable to
have a straight cutter withdrawal mark on a
finished surface rather than a spiral mark.
This is set up by installing a switch operating
screw, for the desired turret face, in the index
control drum opposite the switch marked
REVERSE FEED or SPINDLE STOP. See Fig.
31. Also, the lower left-hand switch on the
operator's control panel must be set to the
SPINDLE STOP position. When the particular
turret face set up for a straight withdrawal
mark reaches the end of its forward travel the
spindle will stop and the turret will rapid tra-
verse away from the work. A speed dog should
be installed on the next face of the main control
drum to start the spindle again as the turret
traverses forward after indexing. NOTE: If
the turret seems to withdraw too soon or too
late after the spindle stops, refer to "Time
Delay Devices" in the 2AC service manual.
Reverse Feeding Operation
The 2AC has an additional feature which will
permit both turret and cross slide tooling to
feed back off the workpiece on the return stroke.
Reverse feeding eliminates cutter withdrawal
marks, where required, with minimum ad-
ditional setup time. It may be used in one or
more stations, with either normal or late cross
slide operation, or without the cross slides
operating. The "Reverse Feeding" machine
function will operate only when the "Machine
Control" switch is set for automatic operation.
It will not operate in hand control. Cutter with-
drawal marks can also be eliminated by using
an M-3216 Cutter Relieving Turret Slide Head.
See page 51.
To Set Up for Reverse Feeding with
Normal Cross Slide Operation or
Without Cross Slides Operating
1. Select the desired reverse feed rate from
feed column 2 on the speed and feed chart. See
Fig. 12.
2. Install the proper standard pickoff feed
gears for the desired reverse feed rate on
shafts 2 and 5 in the Feed and Threading Trans-
mission gear box. Install the "center" change
gear on shaft 5 and the "outer" change gear on
shaft 2. See Fig. 14. Also, install the neces-
sary feed gears for the required forward feed
rates. IMPORT ANT: When using reverse feed,
forward feed rates must be selected from col-
umns 1, 3, 4, and 6 only. Feeds in column 5
may not be used either for forward or reverse
feeding.
Caution
Never install change gears between ''outer"
shaft 5 and "center" shaft 0. Serious
damage to the transmission can result.
2
 3. Turn the selector switch at the lower-left
of the operator's control panel (Fig. 15) to RE-
VERSE FEED. Notice that this switch permits
selection of either the SPINDLE STOP on turret
return or REVERSE FEED fw1ction.
Caution
Do not operate the machine when the selec-
tor switch is set for REVERSE FEED un-
less the reverse feed gears are in place.
Always keep the selector switch set on the
SPINDLE STOP position when the reverse
feeding function is not being used.
4. Insert a switch operating screw, for the
desired turret face, in the index control drum
opposite the switch marked REVERSE FEED or
SPINDLE STOP. See Fig . 31. Also insert a
switch operating screw for the cross slide or
slides if required.
5. Place a feed dog on the main control drum
at the proper point to start the desired forward
feed rate. The same dog will initiate rapid
traverse reverse when it contacts the feed limit
switches again after the reverse feed stroke.

NOTE: If you do not have a set of late feed
dogs, you can use a standard speed dog in
place of the "late feed" dog mentioned above.
In this case place the speed dog in the sec-
ond slot from the bottom of the main control
drum with its stamped speed number facing
the open end of the main control drum.
Regardless of which type of dog is used it
must be positioned so that the feed limit
switches are depressed when the turret is in its

NOTE: The SECOND FEED START - LATE
CROSS SLIDE cam segment, along with the
late feed dog which depresses the feed limit
switches, determines and selects the feed rate.
The point at which the feed is initiated is deter-
mined by the setting of the FEED ST ART -

 TAPPING AND THREADING OPERATIONS

The 2AC will perform both right and left-hand

tapping and threading operations, ranging from
7 to 32 threads per inch, with either solid or
collapsing equipment.
Solid taps and die heads can be used on the
2AC machine because of its reversing ability .
Thus, so lid taps and die heads are backed off
the worh.-piece by actually reversing the direc -
tion of rotation of the machine's spindle . \.1/hile
the spindle is rotating in reverse to back the
tap or die head out of the work, the turret,
which holds the threading tool, is also feeding
in the r everse direction at the proper threading
lead so the tap or die head and the turret both
"track" each other . This assure s that the
thread wi ll not be damaged during the backing
off operation .
Using collapsing taps or self-opening die
heads on the 2AC machine does not require use
of the reversing features of the machine. Dur-
ing the slight inherent dwell at the end of the
turret's feeding stroke, the collapsing tap or
self-open ing die head release s from the work
and the turret will retract in rapid traverse to
the inde:,cing position. In order to reset the Fig. 33. Gear box with cover removed .

the head of the machine. These cams and mount-
ing brackets are not furnished with the standard
machine. See "2AC Standard Attachments" on
page 60 where the M-3226 Die Head Resetter is
shown . The turret, \vhen set up for tapping or t hread-
ing, feeds toward the work at a positive lead
obtained by installing threading gears in the
Feed and Threading Transmission gear box .
Any threading lead is nothing more than a rate
of feed toward the work, and hence, is obtained
by installing change gears in the same manner
as feeds are obtained for a boring or a turning
operation. NOTE: All threading requires
threading change gears which must be ordered
from the factory to suit individua l requirements.
The Feed and Threading Transmission gear
box is shown in Fig. 32. The threading feed
chart, Fig . 34, is mounted on the gear box
cover for ready reference when installing
threading gears. Fig. 33 shows the gear box
with cover removed. Gears are placed on shafts
3 and 4 or 4 and 5 only when cutting left-hand
threads.
Threading equipment used on the 2AC ma-
chine should have lateral float to allow for the
slight difference, if any, between the theoretical
lead of the thread and the actual lead of the ma-
Fig. 32. Feed and Threading Transmission chine. Threading equipment which does not have

To Set Up for Cutting Right-
Hand Threads
SOLID DIE HEAD OR TAP
Let us assume that the thread to be cut is
16-pitch and that the solid threading equipment,
floating holder, and multiple t urning head have
been assembled and are ready to be installed
on the correct turret face. The n follow this
sequence:
la . Refer to the threading feed chart, Fig. 34.
A 16-pitch right-hand thread can be cut with
feed number 6 by using center threading gear
#46-0-14 and outer threading gear #36-0-14.
(You will note from the chart that a 16-pitch
right-hand thread can also be cut with feed
numbe r 5 using center gear #56 -14 and outer
gear #2 7-0-14.)
2a. Install center gear #46-0-14 on shaft 0
and outer gear #36-0-14 on shaft 3. These
shafts are shown in Fig. 33, and in schematic
form on the threading feed c hart.
3a. Install a switch operating screw on the
index control drum for the correct turret face
opposite the limit switch marked TAP. See
Fig. 35. IMPORTANT NOTE: When this screw
is installed, the turret's reversal point will be
approximately 1-5/8" short of maximum stroke.
This is important to remember when setting up
a tapping or threading operation with solid
equipment which requires use of the TAP switch.
4a . With the machine set for hand operation
and the spindle rwming at the correct threading
speed, slowly advance the turret by means of
the "Turret Rapid Traverse Forward" button to
the point where the spindle reverses.
5a. Determine the length to be tapped or
threaded and rapid traverse the turret away
from the work this amount.
6a . Install the multiple turning head and
threading tool and holder on the turret with a
minimum amount of tool overhang. Position the
threading tool so that it is approximately 1/8"
away from entering the work and clamp the
turning head securely in place.
7a. Install FEED 6 feed dog on the correct
face of the main control drum with the stamped
feed number toward the open end of the drum.
Position the feed dog in on the drum so that the
feed limit switches are slightly depressed.
8a. If, after a trial piece, the threading tool
spends excessive time feeding before entering
the work, move the feed dog a compensating
distance toward the closed end of the drum.
The threading tool may also require a slight re-
positioning to establish the exact thread length
on the workpiece . When the finaJ settings are
established, be sure everything is firmly
clamped in position.

 When the above operations have been com-
pleted, the tapping or threading cycle will occur
as follows:
1. The solid die head or tap advances in
rapid traverse toward the work.
2. Just before the threading tool enters the
work, the turret cuts into the proper threading
lead.
3. The threading tool enters the work and
feeds the required length or depth.
4. When the threading tool reaches the full
depth, the spindle reverses and the threading
tool feeds out at the thread lead.
5. When the threading tool is clear of the
work, the feed dog on the main control drum
passes over the feed limit switches and cuts
the machine back into rapid traverse to return
the turret to the index position.

SELF-OPENING DIE HEAD OR

COLLAPSING TAP

The same procedure as outlined for solid

threading equipment should be followed with the
exception of steps 3a and 4a. When using self-
opening die heads or collapsing taps it is NOT
necessary to install a switch operating screw
on the index control drum to trip the TAP
switch. Thus, the turret will feed all the way
forward to its normal maximum "in" position
and the spindle will not reverse its direction of
rotation . When determining the length to be
tapped or threaded as described in step 5a, the
turret should be in its maximum forward po-
sition and then rapid traversed away from the
work the required distance. The self-opening
or collapsing threading equipment must be set
to "trip" during the slight turret dwell, before
the turret rapid traverses to its index position.
As previously mentioned, the closing cams
and mounting brackets necessary for tripping
and resetting the self-opening die heads and
collapsing taps are furnished only as standard
optional equipment because of the wide variety
of sizes and makes that can be used.
To Set Up for Cutting Left-
Hand Threads
SOLID DIE HEAD OR TAP
When cutting a left-hand thread on the 2AC,
the turret must feed forward at the proper
thread lead with the spindle running in reverse.
This is accomplished by installing a switch
operating screw on the index control drum to
trip the switch marked SPINDLE REVERSE (See
Fig. 36), and by utilizing shafts 3 and 4, or
2 and 5, in the Feed and Threading Transmis-
sion gear box.
To illustrate this procedure, let us assume
Fig. 35. Switch operating screw to select

threads with solid threading equipment .
you have an 8-pitch left-hand thread to b e cut
with a solid adjustable tap or diehead . Then:
lb. Reference to the two columns under
LEFT-HAND THREADING on the threading feed
chart, Fig. 34, indicates that an 8-pitch L. H.
thread can be cut in feed 6 with threading gears
#51-12 and #20-0 -12 .
2b. Install gear #20-0-12 on OUTER shaft 3
and gear #51-12 on OUTER shaft 4. NOTE:
Depending on the feed column used (5 or 6) the
change gears for left-hand threading are always
installed between OUTER shaft 3 and OUTER
shaft 4 for feed 6; or OUTER shaft 2 and
OUTER shaft 5 for feed 5. These shafts in the
gear box are shown in Fig. 33, and in schematic
form on the speed and feed chart, Fig. 34.
Caution
Never, under any circumstances, attempt
to place change gears between center shaft
0 and outer shaft 4, or between center shaft
0 and outer shaft 5. To do so will cause
serious damage to the Feed and Threading
Transmission.
3b. Install two switch operating screws on
the index control drwn, one to operate the
switch marked TAP, and the other to operate
the switch marked SPINDLE REVERSE. See
Fig. 36.
4b. Follow the same sequence as in 4a, 5a,
6a, 7a, and Sa outlined for cutting a right-hand
thread with solid equipment.

 When these operations have been completed, In effect, this means that if feed 6 is used for
the left-hand tapping or threading cycle will be a left-hand tapping operation, then only feeds

machining operations. NOTE: In such cases,
if the job requires an additional choice of ma-
SELF-OPENING DIE HEAD OR chining feeds, it would be possible to use left-
COLLAPSING TAP hand cutters with the other feeds, providing the
feeds are of a suitable value.
The same procedure as outlined above for
left-hand tapping, using solid equipment, should
be followed, except that in step 3b it is only
necessary to install the screw to operate the
switch marked SPINDLE REVERSE .
The self-opening or collapsing equipment
must be set to "trip" during the dwell when the
turret is in its maximum forward position and
before it rapid traverses to the index position.
The spindle will change to normal forward
rotation the moment the turret indexes and the
operating screw on the index control drum re-
leases the SPINDLE REVERSE limit switch.

General Information
As previously stated in the section "Selection
of Speeds and Feeds", a total of six feed rates
are available for use in any one setup. If no
tapping or threading operations are involved,
these six feed rates may a ll be used for boring,
turning, facing, drilling, forming, or reaming
operations.

drum to actuate the switch marked TAP.
During setup, when the "Machine Control"
switch is in HAND, TAP REVERSE can be used
to reverse the spindle rotation at any point dur-
ing the forward threading stroke of the machine.
Turn the "Spindle Control" switch momentarily
to TAP REVERSE and then back to RUN, where-
upon the spindle will reverse its direction of
rotation and the tap or die head will feed away
from the work-piece. When the tap clears the
work, the turret can be traversed to its rear-
most position by switching the "Hand Feed"
switch to OFF and pushing the "Turret Rapid
Traverse Reverse" button.
The spindle will change back to its no rmal
direction of rotation when either the "Turret

tons are depressed.
When the "Machjne Control" switch is in the

AUTO position, and it appears that the die head
or tap is nmning into trouble, a momentary
movement of the "Spindle Control" switch to
TAP REVERSE will immediately reverse the
spindle and the threading tool will feed away
from the workpiece. The "Spindle Control" switch
is spring-loaded when turned to the TAP RE-
VERSE posi tion, and will automatically return
to OFF when released. The spindle, however,
will continue to revolve in a reverse direction.
The spindle will change to normal forward
rotation at the comple tion of tur r et index to the

Solid or solid ad justable taps are held in a
specially designe d floating h o lde r illustrated on
page 55 of this manual.
 TOOLING AND SETUP
Since the 2AC is a SING LE SPINDLE auto-
matic chucking machine, any basic tooling
method will require that complete cuts be taken
over the various work surfaces in successive
stations of the machine until the surface has
been finished from the rough to the required
limits of size and finish. The 2AC machine may
be compared to the hand operated turret lathe
in the manner of machining finished surfaces.
Cutters may be mounted in multiple on either
the turret or the cross slides.
The cutters are adjusted to size by taking
TRIAL CUTS. The design of the 2AC makes
this procedure particularly easy since succes-
sive cuts may be taken in "Hand Operation
Control" until each cutter is set to the required
size without having to index the turret all the
way around after each trial cut. After the de-
sired speeds, feeds, stroke lengths, and work-
piece dimensions are established using hand
control, speed and feed dogs and switch oper-
ating screws for individual stations may be in-
stalled to permit automatic operation as soon
as the "Machine Control" switch is changed
from HAND to the AUTO position.
Any turret face may be chosen for the first
station, depending upon the turret tooling most
suitable for the cuts involved. The turret in-
dexes clockwise when viewed from the front of
the machine, and therefore, the succeeding
tooling stations must be kept in that order.
Since the turret and the cross slides of the
2AC machine are designed to end their strokes
simultaneously at FIXED END-OF-STROKE
locations when set up for normal cross slide
operation, care must be taken to clamp all tool
holders and cutters in place with the turret and
slides advanced to the end of their strokes.
Naturally, cutting edges must first be tempo-
rarily set to clear the rough work, then adjusted
to cutting sizes.
Planned Tooling
The 2AC is specifically designed to provide
all of the advantages of automatic production on
small and medium-sized lots. The key to the
2AC's small-lot performance is its ease and
speed of setup.
To realize the full potential of the 2AC's
quick setup features, preplanning the setup is
urgently recommended. Preplanning can save
a considerable amount of the total setup time by
providing the setup man with definite informa-
tion on the proper tools to use, approximate
feed stroke settings, the proper feeds and
speeds to suit the job, and the complete physical
machine setup for initiating all of the automatic
machine functions. On parts that are produced
on a 2, 3, or 4 times-per-year basis, pre-
planning can pay off even more.
Two suggested forms for working out and re-
cording the complete tooling setup and time
study are shown in Figs. 37 and 38. The "Re-
corded Setup Information" form, Fig. 37, is
designed to provide the setup man with a com-
plete, permanent record of the physical machine
setup. Usually, this form is filled in after the
machine setup has been completed. Indicated
are the proper feed change gears and the shafts
to which they are to be assembled, the appro-
priate speed and feed dogs to be placed on the
main control drwn, and the insertion of switch
operating screws to initiate automatic machine
functions. In addition, space is provided for
recording the approximate location of basic
pentagon turret tooling, as well as cross slide
cutter block and tool base settings. Final ad-
justments for both roughing and finish cutters
must be made, as always, during each new set-
up with trial cuts. This form should become a
permanent record for future production runs.
The "Setup Tracing Sheet", Fig. 38, is in-
tended, primarily, for the use of the methods
man or tool engineer. On it, the engineer
specifies the standard tools to be used in ma-
chining the particular part and their actual po-
sition on the turret and the cross slides. Along
with this information, he selects the proper
feeds and determines feed stroke lengths from
the part drawing in order to develop a complete
time study.
The form shown in Fig. 38 should also be
made available to the setup man to be used as a
guide in tooling the 2AC properly for the par-
ticular setup involved. Using this form in com-
bination ,vith the "Recorded Setup Information"
sheet (Fig. 37) will reduce wasted motions and
unorganized thinking that is likely to occur du.r-
ing the setup, both of which detract from the
setup time-saving features designed into the
machine.
Set Up Procedure
Refer to the "Setup Tracing Sheet" shown in
Fig. 38 and to the work drawing (inset). The
workpiece example is a flange to be made from
an iron casting with approximately 1/8" stock
per side for finishing. It is assumed that there
are no standard tools on the turret or the cross
slides, and that the gears bavenot been installed
in the Feed and Threading Transmission gear
box at the rear of the machine.
The first step is to determine what speeds
33
 and feeds will be required for the first job by
studying the various surfaces and dimensions
shown on the work drawing. In this respect,
decisions must be made by relying on past ex-
perience, or machinability tables, for proper
cutting speeds for different work materials,
using various cutting media such as high speed
steel, stellite, brazed-on or insert-type car-
bides, etc. E>..-perience will also dictate proper
feeds since they are usually determined by
finish required, rigidity of the tooling, fragility
of the workpiece itself, etc.
AV AIL.ABLE HORSEPOWER must be kept in
mind when selecting speeds and feeds, since
these two factors, together with depth of cut ,
determine the horsepower needed for all of the
cutters being used in a particular tooling sta-
tion. See "2AC Metal Removal Capacity Chart,"
page 61 for guidance in relating speed, feed,
and depth of cut to the capacity of the 2AC to
remove metal.
Reference to the lower half of the setup sheet,
Fig. 38, will show that cutting speeds of 150 to
200 surface feet per minute for roughing, and
300 to 400 surface feet per minute for finishing
are suggested for machining the cast iron flange
with cemented carbide cutters. After deciding
on the proper surface cutting speed , the corres-
ponding spindle speeds in revolutions per minute
must be calculated for the different surfaces to
obtain the selected cutting speeds . The speed
range of the machine (LOW-HIGH) must then be
chosen which most nearly complies with the
require ments . For the sample job, the most
suitable range is found to be the one labeled
HIGH on the speed and feed chart. See Fig. 12.
This column contains speeds of 82, 134, 230,
378, 622 and 1058 RPM which, for the diameters
to be machined, will give the surface feet re-
quired for roughing and finishing the part.
The next step is to determine exactly what
feeds will be used for the various operations on
34
the cast iron flange, and reference to Fig . 38
will show that . 024 feed for roughing, . 009 for
finishing, and . 007 for finish boring to the close
tolerance are indicated . The proper center and
outer gears to obtain these feeds are then se- ..·;
lected from the chart and assembled to the
shafts in the gear box according to previous
I..J
instructions.
When all gears are placed in their proper
positions, the spacers and caps should be slip-
ped over the shafts to hold the gears in place.
When the gear box cover is put in place, with
both handles screwed in tightly, the machine is
ready to work unde r hand or automatic control
at feeds of:
.006 .024 . 009 .037 .007 .028
Feed 1 Feed 4 Feed 2 Feed 5 Feed 3 Feed 6
and speeds of 82, 134, 230, 378, 622 and 1058
rpm. Any one or more of these speeds and
feeds may be employed on any station, depend-
ing of course, on the requirements and limita-
tions of the job.
It is now assumed that the 3-jaw air chuck is
already on the machine and that the work hold-
ing jaws have been made prior to the setting up
of the m achine. After the jaws are assembled
to the chuck, the air pressure is adjusted for
proper gripping. See instructions for adjusting
the air pressure under the heading "Air Control
Panel". The proper amount of air pressure
must be provided to grip the part firmly enough
to prevent any injury to the cutters when they
are engaged with the workpiece. In this case,
a pressure of 75 psi should be adequate . With
the rough part chucked in the jaws by actuating
the air chuck control kn.ob, (1) Fig. 13, the next
step is to determine the type and position of
tooling on the cross slides and on the turret.
The detailed steps required to accomplish the
remainder of the setup are explained on the
following pages.

With the completion of the foregoing station-by-station setup procedure,

the machine is now ready for automatic operation. Switch the SPINDLE
CONTROL and HAND FEED switches to "OFF" and set the MACHINE
CONTROL switch on "AUTO" . Thereafter it is necessary only to press
the ,;CYCLE ST ART" button for automatic cycling after reloading the
chuck. The machining cycle will stop automatically at the pre-set loading
station.

NOTE: It is suggested that the feed dog settings be checked on another

trial piece. If it is found that some of the tools spend excessive
time in "feed" before starting to cut, the feed dogs should be
moved a compensating distance toward the closed end of the main
control drum.
 HINTS FOR MORE EFFICIENT SETUPS
Setup time, on any automatic, is comprised
of the time needed for inserting and adjusting
tools; and the time consumed for programming
machine fW1ctions, speeds, feeds and cutting
stroke lengths. The quick-setup features of the
2AC, using easily positioned switch operating
dogs and screws instead of cumbersome and
time consuming cam changes has reduced ma-
chine programming to a minimum. Thus , the
principa l opportunity for further reducing setup
time lies in making tool adjustments easier and
quicker.
Following are some examples of ways to
shorten setup time by reducing the tool setting
and a djusting time.
Make Tools Readily Available
Having the right tools , at the 2AC, at the right
time , can save a considerable amoW1t of pro-
ductive time. Much time is lost when the setup
man must search around the shop for boring
bars, drills and cutters.
Many shops have foW1d that a tool rack, Fig.
39, is inva luable in making tools accessible for
the setup man. The top of the tool rack has
holes provided for boring bars , overhead cutter
holders, and bushings. Standard sized drills
and reamers can a lso be stored here. The
shelves beneath have space for change gears,
cutters, standard tools and heads, special tools
and heads, cross slide cutter blocks, soft blank
jaws and hardened chuck jaws.
Fig. 39. Tool rack for putting tools and
cutters in easy reach of setup man.
46
A powered impact wrench, with a full range of
sockets and altered a ll en wrenches, can reduce
chuck jaw changing time to a fr a ction of the
normal time needed. Both pneumatic and e le c-
trical type irnpact wrenches are su.itable.
Eliminate Setup Time Wasters
In many cases, excessi ve s e tup time may be
directly related to improper setup practices, or
to things which should not be done a t the time of
setup. A revision of inefficient setup practices
can make the task much easier, a nd therefore
faster. Following are some tips which will pro-
mote quick setup on the 2AC :
1. I-Ianclle small tools and bushings with car e
when changing them over. Bushings mu s t be
reconditioned with a file or a stone during setup
if they have been previously abused. Tool
shanks that have been hammered into heads or
bushings are usually even more difficult to
remove.
2. Strip only the necessary tools from the
tm-ret. Unless the hole is needed for a new tool ,
or the tool is needed for another station, or the
tool will interfere with subsequent tooling, leave
it in the turret head . There is a good cha nce the
tool may be needed where it is in later sel1.1ps ,
and nothing will be gained by using valuable set-
up time to strip the entire turret. Leave the
turret heads in place, too, if at all possible.
Any station may be used as "Station One ," so
choose the best arrangement of heads that pre-
vails, a nd plan the tooling aroW1d it. A boring
h ead can be used for drilling, if necessary.
3. Figure on scrapping the first workpiece if
the cost of taking the time to make the first
workpiece perfect exceeds the cost of the ma-
terial scrapped. Establish drilling a nd boring
depths, turning lengths , and forming depths on
the first piece, and use the second piece to
adjust to final accurate sizes.
4. T ake trial cuts, during the setup, at the
same rates of speed and feed that will eventually
be used in the automatic cycle. Changes in
speeds and feeds cause variations in tool deflec-
tion, causing differences in size and finish from
those obtained in setup. Additiona l time is fre-
quently necessary for subsequent final cutter
adjustment.
5. Clear chips from the turret and cross
slides during the automatic cycle, rather than
during the setup. Clean the chip pan while the
machine is rwming, too.
Use Setup Templates Cascade Similar Parts
For repeated runs of same parts, setup Scheduling similar parts to run in sequence,
templates like the one shown in Fig. 40 can save whenever production needs permit, can reduce
setup time in three ways: by making it quick the amount of tool changing by the setup man,
and easy to (1) place cutters on center, (2) ad- and therefore, reduce setup time.

Usually, the last piece from the previous lot is
sufficient for setting up a new lot. Some shops
prefer to store a sample workpiece for repeated
runs. Internal settings are difficult with this
method unless a straight-through bore exists.
A sample workpiece with a segment removed
perm its more accurate settings on parts with
complicated internal shapes.

STANDARD TOOL AND MACHINE DATA

The following pages illustrate, describe, and
show dimensional details of the universal stan-
dard tool holders available to fit the turret and
cross slides of your 2AC machine. If not pur-
chased with the machine they should be obtained
as soon as possible . Otherwise, the true pro-
ductive capacity of the machine may be unduly
limited.
Pages 48 and 49 provide completely dimen-
sioned machine clearance diagrams, including
cross slide and turret stroke lengths, and the
air chuck dimensions . These clearance dia-
grams and the standard tool details will be in-
valuable to the tool designer, tool layout man,
and setup man. Sufficient information has been
provided on these diagrams to permit full-size
tooling layouts to be made when necessary.

cutters.
 M-3237 R.H. or L.H. FRONT or REAR SINGLE
CROSS SLIDE CUTTER BLOCK (Long)
This long style cutter block is used to work close to center and
to reduce cutter overhang when the cross slide base cannot be po-
sitioned close to the work. Short style cutter blocks should be
used on larger diameters.

M-3217 TAPER ATTACHMENT
Used in combination with the Turret Slide
Heads shown on page 51, this taper attachment
provides taper boring and turning on the 2AC,
as well as simple contouring. The attachment
is mounted to the side of the rear cross slide
and features a single adjustable cam for cutting
tapers up to 30° (60° included angle). A carbide
tipped cam follower for the slide head is fur-
nished with the attachment.

M-3238 TURRET CUTTING FLUID

DISTRIBUTOR

The cutting fluid distributor is used where a

direct flow of cutting fluid is required. It is
particularly useful when oil hole drills are used
in the setup. The attachment directs the flow
of fluid only to the tool station which is in the
cutting position.

M-3226 DIE HEAD RESETTER

. This bracket-mounted die head resetter is
used to close self-opening die heads used in the
2AC automatic cycle. The resetting cam is ad-
justable and will automatically reset any die
head that requires not more than 30° radial
closing action.

 2AC METAL REMOVAL CAPACITY CHART
In setting up a new job on the 2AC, you will
need to know the maximum usable machining
rates to prevent consistent overloading of the
25 H.P. motor. The chart below indicates the
maximum feed rates to be used with the repre-
sentative surface speeds shown at different
depths of cut. These feed rates have been
computed on the basis of THE HORSEPOWER
AVAILABLE AT THE SPINDLE NOSE at a 100%
MOTOR LOAD.
While the chart reflects data figured at 100%
motor load, it is possible to take short, indi-
victual cuts at slightly increased motor loads if
other cuts in the cycle require less power, and
the average does not exceed 100%.
In addition, it should be kept in mind that the
multiple and combined cuts used when machining
on the 2AC increase the TOTAL DEPTH OF
CUT. For instance, a 1/8-inch turning cut and
a 1/8-inch facing cut, when combined, will
create a 1/4-inch total depth of cut. The feed
rate indicated on the chart for a 1/8-inch depth
of cut should therefore be halved for each cut to
avoid overloading the motor.

 2AC SURFACE SPEED CHART
The charts below and on the following two pages are included for
convenience in preparing production time estimates on the 2AC
machine. Included are charts useful for calculating surface speeds
and both cutting and threading time at the various speeds and feeds
available on the machine. Idle motion constants for each machine
function are also provided. Time figures for loading and unloading
the chuck are omitted as they vary widely depending on operator
efficiency as well as the size, weight and shape of the workpiece.
