    Do not grasp the gear case, the motors, or the cover of the motor to lift the machine out of the Styrofoam packaging. The plastic caps could break. Please enlist the aid of a helper to lift your PD 400 CNC-ready out of the package as illustrated in the figure on the right.

  • Page 9: Basic Tips On Setting Up And Assembling The Machine

    7. Basic tips on setting up and assembling the machine • The machine may only be set up and operated in dry and well ventilated rooms. • The installation surface must be level and sufficiently stable to absorb the vibrations that occur during operation. For this purpose, the machine must be fixed to a firm, level surface using the holes provided.

  • Page 10: Fundamentals On Turning And The Pd 400 Cnc-Ready Lathe

    8.1. Fundamentals on turning and the PD 400 CNC-ready lathe 8.1.1. Straight turning Straight turning is the type of turning whereby the cutter moves on a path parallel to the work piece axis, the "longitudinal feed". The cutting depth, also called "infeed" is the amount by which the cutter dips deeper into the material for every turning cycle.

  • Page 11: Various Cutting Tools And Their Properties

    8.2. Various cutting tools and their properties For various work tasks there are special tools that are optimally co-ordinated to their respective intended use due to their form. The right choice of tool is thus not only essential for the perfect quality of the work result, but some machining can only be done with certain tool forms from the outset.

  • Page 12: Inserting The Cutting Tool In The Tool Holder

    8.3. Inserting the cutting tool in the tool holder The basic equipment of the PD 400 CNC-ready includes a multiple tool holder consisting of tool holder block 1 and two tool holder elements 2. The tool holder elements can be adjusted in height: Turn the knurled screw 5 up or down until the tool centre is exactly in the centre, meaning at the same height as the work piece axis.

  • Page 13: Clamping In The Lathe Chuck

    8.4. Clamping in the lathe chuck Caution! Please comply with the enclosed operating instructions of the chuck manufacturer as necessary! Caution! If work pieces are only clamped in the lathe chuck without counter-bracket by the tailstock, the projection may not be greater than the three-fold diameter of the material (L = 3 x D), see figure at right.

  • Page 14: Determining The Correct Spindle Speed

    8.6. Determining the correct spindle speed The cutting speed is a decisive parameter during machining. Too high or too low cutting speeds affect the good end result, so the choice of spindle speed – which is decisive for the cutting speed – is very important for a good surface and clean metal removal. Another determining factor is the diameter of the work piece: the greater it is, the greater the relative speed is at the circumference at constant speed.

  • Page 15: Shifting The Drive Belt

    8.8. Shifting the drive belt The spindle speed can be changed by shifting the motor (multiple contact switch 1 Fig. 4). The speed is halved or doubled. On the other hand, the speed can be changed by shifting the drive belt in the spindle box at the left. Switch off the CNC control at the mains switch and open the gear case with the Allen key.

  • Page 16: General

    9.1. General Please keep the machine clean and handle it with care. Keep in mind that a "healthy" mechanical system is decisive for the quality of the work result. The guides in particular play an important role here: they are important machine elements and must be treated with particular care.

  • Page 17: Adjusting The Play Of The Guides

    9.4. Adjusting the play of the guides 9.4.1. Adjusting the play of the guide of the cross slide Even if the guides are regularly oiled, cleaned and properly adjusted, the guides will show play after some time. Release the counter nuts 1 (Fig. 18) of the adjusting screws for upper carriage 2, turn in all adjusting screws 3 evenly until the play is eliminated and then retighten the counter nuts.

    11. Compilation of safety notes As with any other machine, there are some things that need to be observed when operating the CNC lathe PD 400 CNC-ready so that dangers to humans and the environment cannot occur. In this context, please also observe the separately enclosed pamphlet with the safety notes.
  • Page 19 User group Persons above the age of 14 may use the system; instructions on safety and compliance with the safety notes is always required. Caution! Risk of injury! Always keep your fingers away from the rotating work piece while turning! Never measure the work piece during operation with a sliding calliper or similar! Do not process the work piece during operation with a rasp or sandpaper! Setting up the...
