FAQs of Bevel Gear Testing And Lapping Machine:
Q: How does the bevel gear testing and lapping machine ensure high precision in operations?
A: The machine offers testing accuracy up to 0.01 mm, supported by hardened and ground spindle construction and dial gauge/analog indicators for fine measurement and consistent quality.
Q: What types of gears and materials can this machine accommodate?
A: It is designed for bevel gears up to 350 mm in diameter and 60 mm face width, compatible with steel, alloy steel, and cast iron, making it suitable for diverse industrial requirements.
Q: When should I use the manual versus the semi-automatic operation modes?
A: Manual mode is ideal for custom, low-volume testing, while the semi-automatic mode is recommended for repetitive processes where speed and consistency are priorities.
Q: Where can this machine be installed for optimal use?
A: It is well-suited for workshops and industrial floors, offering stable operation and low noise levels below 75 dB(A) for comfortable, continuous use in manufacturing environments.
Q: What is the process for testing and lapping gears with this machine?
A: The gear is mounted and secured using the adjustable setup. The machine is then set to the desired operating mode and speed, with the lubricant/coolant system activated for smooth lapping. Measurement indicators assist in achieving precise results.
Q: How does the integrated cooling system benefit gear processing?
A: The coolant and lubricant flow system reduces friction and excess heat, preventing gear damage and ensuring smoother lapping and extended component life.
