1 Summary 1.1 Product introduction C400K horizontal-type ramp CNC lathe is mainly used for the processing of Rot ur n 400 C various shaft and disk parts, which can turn the internal and external curved surfaces of various threads, arcs, circular cones and solid of revolution and it can satisfy the high-speed cutting requirements of ferrous metal and non-ferrous materials.
more internal operation space, which can realize the processing of large parts. It expands the applicable scope of the lathe and customers can obtain more benefits. The lathe body is with the inclination of 45°, which has the merits of smooth chip removal.
The installation position shall be far away from the vibration source and flammable& explosive goods as well as the electromagnetic interference. 1.4 Influence of the lathe on the environment The noise SPL of the lathe is not higher than 83dB during the idle running, no emission of noxious gas or liquid occurs, so it won’t produce bad effect on the environment.
2.1 Requirements on the operators and maintenance personnel Operators of the lathe shall be the ones who have receive relevant training and obtain the qualification. Operators shall carefully read the Operation Manual before the operation, completely understand the content and obtain the capacity of operating the lathe.
Page 12
The coordinated signal shall be stipulated at each operation step when one task needs to be completed by two or more personnel, and the next step must be performed after the stipulated signal is given and accepted. Use the recommended hydraulic oil, lubrication oil, grease or recognized oil or grease with the same performance.
avoid the accidents. Hands can’t directly touch the iron turning during the cleaning. Confirmation in advance must be performed before operating the switches and mistakes are forbidden, or accidents will be easily produced. Don’t randomly touch the switches. The workbench nearby the lathe shall be firm so as to prevent the articles from sliding or workbench damage and avoid the accidents.
total power switch of the lathe shall have enough sectional area so as to satisfy the requirements of the electric power transmission. The cable exposed on the ground shall have the water-proof, cutting-proof, wearproof and other protective measures. The sundries and anti-rust oil shall be cleaned if it’s used for the first time or it’s restarted after long-term stop before the devanning of the lathe, each lubrication point shall be oiled again and lubricated according to the lubrication requirements.
operation manual. 2.5 Routine inspection Warning Never stretch out the fingers to the space between the belt and the belt pulley when you check the tightness of the belt, which easily crush the finger. Attention Check if the reading on the pressure meter of the hydraulic system is correct and meet the requirements of the operation manual.
2.6 Temperature rise Attention Temperature rise shall be non-load performed under the automatic operation status of the lathe and make the lathe rotate for 10~20 minutes with half or 1 third of the maximum speed so as to let the lathe reach the stable temperature. Each moving parts on the lathe shall be automatically operated according to the procedure during the automatic operation and meanwhile check the movement conditions of each moving parts, which shall be smooth and no abnormal noise.
The processing area shall be with good illumination for the convenience of security detection. The tools or other goods at the surrounding of the lathe shall be kept orderly and stable, the environment cleanness and smooth channel shall be kept. Tools, workpiece and any other goods can’t be placed at the spindle box, knife rest, mainshaft, carriage and other similar part so as to avoid the accidents.

Adjust the nozzle of the cooling liquid under the shutdown status. Don’t use hands or let the clothes touch the rotating workpiece and mainshaft. Don’t open the protective door or cover of the lathe during the automatic processing. The chip accumulation shall be avoided during the heavy load processing, because the hot chip may cause fire disaster, the thermal accumulation will also cause the thermal deformation of the lathe and it will affect the processing accuracy.
Use hairbrush to clean the turnings on the tool bit, can’t use hands to directly clean. Operators shall wear the gas mask during the processing of magnesium alloy; you need to wear the gauze mask and other protective tools when the materials with big dust are processed.
Check the dosage of the cooling liquid, hydraulic oil and lubrication oil, which need to be added once it’s insufficient. Clean the filter at the position of the iron turning box so as to avoid the obstruction. The power switch, main circuit switch of the lathe and the power transmission switch on the operation panel shall be turned off when the work off and leave the lathe.
Carefully read and completely understand the safety protection measures stipulated in the operation manual. Carefully read the relevant content in the operation manual and understand the correlated principles and the precautions included. 2.13 Maintenance operation Danger The personnel unrelated to the maintenance can’t operate the main circuit switch or the control power switch on the operation panel.
2.14 Treatment after the maintenance Warning Clean and arrange the working environment after the maintenance is completed so as to provide good working environment. The dismantled parts and the waste oil and water cleaned out shall be kept away from the lathe and treated according to relevant provisions. The maintenance personnel shall check if potential risk exists in the lathe operation after the maintenance is completed.
