If the lathe has been shut off for a longer period of time, switch it off using the main switch and secure it against being unintentionally switched on again or pull the power plug.
Speed setting ATTENTION! Only change gear positions when the lathe is being completely stopped. A speed change is done by setting the shift lever at the speed gear unit. Fixing the lathe saddle ATTENTION! The cutting force produced during facing, recessing or slicing process may displace the lathe saddle.

4.10.3 Feed table, table for thread cutting The tables are built up in a way that you may later on assemble the required combination to cut a thread without having to look up the details. Ligature as orientation for the caming of one toothed wheel to the following one.
INFORMATION Move the hand wheel of the lathe saddle a little in order to facilitate the locking of the engaging lever. 4.12 Tool holder Clamp the lathe tool into the tool holder. The lathe tool needs to be clamped as short and tight as possible when turning in order to be able to absorb the cutting force during the chip formation well and reliably.
Fasten workpiece holder Img.4-9: Fasten workpiece holder Turn clamp bolts (1) into the open position. Clean the taper attachment on the lathe chuck and the spindle fixture. Fit lathe chuck. Turn the clamp bolts (1) to the closed position. CAUTION! If the reference mark on the clamp bolt is not between the two V markings, the chuck must be removed and this bolt (D) must be re-adjusted.
INFORMATION The reference mark (F) on each Cam-lock bolt serves as an orientation for the correct adjustment. Img.4-11: Cam-lock fixture 4.13.2 Replacing the clamping jaws on the lathe chuck CAUTION! The correct position of the clamping jaws is correct if after twisting together of the chuck jaws are centered at the center.
4.13.3 Clamping a workpiece into the three jaw chuck When the workpiece is being clamped unprofessionally, there is a risk of injury as the workpiece may fly off or the jaws may break. The following examples do not show all possible situations of danger.
4.14.2 Taper turning with the tailstock The cross-adjustment of the tailstock is used for turning long, thin bodies. Loosen the locking nut of the tailstock. Unscrew the locking screw approximately half a turn. By alternately loosening and tightening the two (front and rear) adjusting screws, the tailstock is moved out of the central position.

For larger pitches the alternately flank infeed is selected. The top slide is from the 2nd passage in each case 0.05 - 0.10 mm adjusted alternately to the left and right. The last two passes are performed without lateral offset. When the depth of thread is achieved, two passes are performed without infeed.
4.20 General operating instructions 4.20.1 Clamping long workpieces through the hollow shaft of the spindle CAUTION! Long rotating parts that protrude from the hollow shaft of the spindle must be secured by the operator using suitable covers. A cover can be a sleeve that is mounted on the headstock that, as a permanent safety device, completely covers the protruding workpiece.
Follow steady rest Img.4-43: Follow steady rest 4.22 Tailstock The tailstock quill is used to hold the tools (bits, centres, etc.) Clamp the required tool into the quill of the tailstock. Use the scale on the sleeve to re-adjust and / or adjust the tool. ...
4.22.1 Cross-adjustment of the tailstock The cross-adjustment of the tailstock is used for turning long, thin bodies. Loosen the adjusting screws in the front and in the rear of the tailstock. By alternately loosening and tightening the two (front and rear) adjusting screws, the tailstock is moved out of the central position.
4.23 General operating instructions 4.23.1 Longitudinal turning In the straight turning operation, the tool feeds parallel to the axis of rotation of the workpiece. The feed can be either manual - by turning the handwheel on the lathe saddle or the top slide - or by activating the automatic feed.
4.23.4 Thread cutting The thread cutting process requires that the operator has a good knowledge of turning and sufficient experience. INFORMATION Due to a safety mechanism, it is not possible to use the longitudinal feed via the lead screw and ...
Consider this fact when selecting your cooling lubricant. The company Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH does not assume any guarantee for subsequent damages due to unsuitable cooling lubricants. The flashpoint of the emulsion must be higher than 140°C. When using non-water-miscible cooling lubricants (oil content > 15%) with a flashpoint, ignitable aerosol air mixtures might develop.

4.25.1 Safety instructions Intended use This standard product is suitable for clamping workpieces on lathe machines and other rotating tooling machines. Unintended and improper use of the manual chuck may cause danger to life and limb of the operator. The specified maximum technical data must not be exceeded while the manual chuck is in operation! The manual chuck should only be used on the basis of its technical data.
CAUTION! Risk of damages due to incorrect choice of clamping position for chuck jaws on workpiece. If an incorrect clamping position is chosen for the chuck jaws on workpiece, the lathe chuck jaws may be damaged. The external diameter of jaws must not exceed the external diameter of the chuck by more than max.
4.25.4 Calculating the required clamping force for a given speed The initial clamping force F is the total force impacting radially on the workpiece via the jaws due to actuation of the lathe chuck during shutdown. Under the influence of rpm, the jaw mass generates an additional centrifugal force.
4.25.5 Clamping force-speed diagram - Lathe chuck K11-160 Speed n [rpm] Required minimum clamping force 33 % Tightening torque with key 87 Nm Tightening torque with key max. 160 Nm The clamping force to speed diagram shows the calculated centrifugal force with the matching jaw design as a function for the speed if the chuck jaws do not protrude beyond the outer dia- meter of the chuck.
Page 64
Base tensioning force Required minimum tensioning force Workpiece is released uncontrollably Speed The required effective clamping force for machining F is calculated from the product of the machining force F with the safety factor S . This factor takes into account uncertainties in the calculation of the clamping force.
In case of chucks with split chuck jaws, i.e. with base jaws and top jaws, for which the base jaws change their radial position only by the stroke amount, the centrifugal torque of base jaws and the centrifugal torque of top jaws M need to be added: [ kgm ] The centrifugal torque of the base jaws M...
The business operator must guarantee that suitable measures in organisation and instruction are taken to ensure that the appropriate safety rules and regulations are complied with by the persons entrusted with operation, aintenance and repair of the manual chuck. 4.25.8 Lubricating and cleaning the lathe chuck ATTENTION! Do not use compressed air to remove dust and foreign substances from the lathe chuck.
Maintenance In this chapter you will find important information about Inspection Maintenance Repair of the lathe. ATTENTION! Properly performed regular maintenance is an essential prerequisite for operational safety, failure-free operation, long durability of the lathe and ...
5.1.3 Cleaning CAUTION! Use a chip hook for removal of chips and wear suitable protective gloves. Check up, inspection and maintenance The type and level of wear depends to a large extent on the individual usage and operating conditions. Any indicated intervals therefore are only valid for the corresponding approved conditions.
