Иштөө нускамалары

This section covers the basic operation of your CREWORKS Mini Metal Lathe for common tasks such as turning, drilling, and threading.

1. Basic Turning Operations

1. Иштетилген бөлүктү орнотуу: Securely clamp the workpiece in the 3-jaw chuck. Ensure it is concentric and held firmly. For longer workpieces, use the tailstock for support.
2. Tool Selection and Setup: Choose the appropriate cutting tool for the operation (e.g., turning, facing). Mount it in the 4-way tool post and adjust its height so the cutting edge is exactly on the center line of the workpiece.
3. Ылдамдыкты жөндөө: Use the digital display and control knob to set the desired spindle speed (0-3000 rpm). Refer to material-specific speed charts for optimal results.
4. Engage Power: Turn on the main power switch. The digital display will show the current RPM.
5. Feed Control: Use the handwheels for the cross slide and compound slide to manually feed the tool into the workpiece. For automatic feeding, engage the lead screw.
6. Кесүү: Begin cutting with light passes, gradually increasing depth as needed. Apply cutting fluid if required for the material.
7. Мониторинг: Continuously monitor the cutting process, chip formation, and surface finish. Adjust speed and feed as necessary.
8. Токтотуу: Disengage the feed, retract the tool, and turn off the spindle motor.

Сүрөт: The digital display for speed control, showing the real-time RPM. This feature allows for precise and stepless adjustment of the spindle speed up to 3000 rpm.

2. Threading Operations

The lathe supports both metric (0.5-3 mm) and imperial (8-44 TPI) threading.

1. Gear Setup: Consult the threading chart on the machine or in the manual to select and install the correct change gears for the desired thread pitch.
2. Курал тандоо: Use a sharp, correctly ground threading tool.
3. Engage Lead Screw: Engage the lead screw for automatic feed. Do not disengage until the threading pass is complete.
4. Cutting Passes: Take multiple light passes, retracting the tool at the end of each pass and returning the carriage to the start position before re-engaging for the next pass.
5. Жип тереңдиги: Use the compound slide to feed the tool at an angle (typically 29 or 30 degrees) to ensure proper chip formation and thread profile.
