FAQs of TOS SUI 40/1500 Lathe Machine:
Q: How do I operate the TOS SUI 40/1500 Lathe Machine for threading applications?
A: To perform threading operations, select the desired metric (1120 mm) or inch (248 TPI) thread setting. Adjust the feed rates using the manual controls, set the spindle speed between 251600 RPM, and position the tool for consistent thread cutting. Always adhere to the operators safety protocols.
Q: What types of materials can be machined with this lathe?
A: The lathe, designed with a cast iron body and robust motor, efficiently machines metals such as steel, aluminum, brass, and other alloys. The cutting thickness capacity is up to 20 mm, though exact suitability depends on the tool and workpiece used.
Q: When is manual operation preferred over CNC in lathe machining?
A: Manual operation, as featured in the TOS SUI 40/1500, is preferred for jobs requiring high customization, detailed adjustments, or when producing one-off or low-volume parts. It allows experienced machinists to easily modify processes based on material, geometry, and tolerance needs.
Q: Where is the TOS SUI 40/1500 commonly used?
A: This lathe is widely utilized in metalworking workshops, manufacturing facilities, and repair centers. It is also favored by exporters, importers, traders, and suppliers worldwide, especially for tasks demanding versatility and precision in turning operations.
Q: What safety precautions should be considered during usage?
A: Operators should always use personal protective equipment, ensure all adjustments are made with the machine powered down, and follow recommended maintenance routines. Regular inspection of bed ways and moving parts enhances safety and extends machine life.
Q: How does the high precision feature benefit machining processes?
A: High precision, achieved through hardened and ground bed ways, guarantees accurate and repeatable cuts. This lessens the chance of errors, improves finished part quality, and supports the production of components with tight tolerances.
Q: What is the process for changing the spindle taper or tailstock quill taper on this lathe?
A: Changing the spindle taper (MT 6) or tailstock quill taper (MT 4) involves removing the existing tooling and carefully replacing it with the desired accessory that matches the Morse Taper specification. Always ensure compatibility and follow the manufacturers guidelines during installation.
