Switching On The Machine; Operating The Handwheels; Switching On The Automatic Feed; Working With The Tailstock - Proxxon PD 230/E Manual Del Usuario

Important
When lifting the machine, ensure that the plastic cover of the
drive gearbox is closed. If it is not, the cap may break.
All naked metal parts are supplied in a corrosion protection
preservative.
This preservative must be washed off with paraffin oil before
using for the first time.
Subsequently oil all polished guides and spindles well. Fasten
the chuck guard with screws.

Switching on the machine

Important
Before switching on the machine, ensure that the jaw chuck
wrench is not in the chuck, the jaws are not protruding and
that there is no-one in the danger zone.
Only switch on the machine when the part to be turned is
clamped in the chuck, as otherwise the jaws could become
loose and cause injury.
Avoid unnatural body positions. Ensure that you are standing
in a safe position and keep your balance.
1. Set selection switch 2 (Fig. 2) to "0" position.
2. Switch on main switch 1. The function display should now
illuminate.
3. Turn the selection switch 2 to the right for normal turning.
4. Turn the selection switch to the left for anti-clockwise
rotation.
Important
Only switch on when the machine is stationary.
5. When you have finished working, switch off the machine
again using the main switch. Only then is the machine
completely disconnected from the mains.

Operating the handwheels

Important
If the support will not move easily, release screw 1 (Fig. 3)
slightly.
The handwheels for the leadscrew, cross-slide, top slide and
tailstock sleeve produce a 1 mm feed when turned once.
Important
If the automatic feed is switched on, manual adjustment of
the support is not possible.
1. Turn the handwheel 2 (Fig. 3) for the cross-slide, the slide
and the tool holder move at right angles to the bed.
Example: One turn of the handwheel
= 1 mm advance
= 2 mm change in diameter
- 18 -
Note:
2. Turn the handwheel 3 for the top slide, the top slide moves
parallel to the bed.
3. Turn the handwheel 1 (Fig. 4) for the support adjustment,
the support 2 moves lengthwise.
4. Turn the handwheel 1 (Fig. 5) for the sleeve, the sleeve
moves lengthwise.

Switching on the automatic feed

Important
Only switch on the feed when the machine is stationary.
1. Turn the switch 1 (Fig. 6) to the right.
2. Turn the switch to the left to switch off the feed.
If stiff, slightly move the handwheel of the leadscrew.
Important
When the automatic feed is switched on, always ensure that
the support or turning tool do not collide with the lathe chuck
or tailstock.
When the automatic feed is switched on, the support is pus-
hed by 0.05 or 0.1 mm per turn depending on the gear combi-
nation.
Please note the sticker on the inside of the drive gearbox
when adjusting the feed.
The support always moves from right to left when the spindle
is turning normally (clockwise rotation) and the automatic feed
is switched on. This is also the normal feed when turning.
Of course, the support can also be moved back to the output
position automatically.
To do so, switch off the machine, slightly draw back the
turning tool and then set the switch 2 (Fig. 2) to anticlockwise
rotation.

Working with the tailstock

1. Release the clamp screw 4 (Fig. 7), push the tailstock 2 on
the guide into the required position and re-tighten the
clamp screw.
A mount is located on the sleeve for the drill chuck or rotating
centre with morse taper, size MK 1/short.
Important
Receiving tapers must always be perfectly clean.
Dirt, especially metal chips, affect the precision and can
render the sleeve and shank taper unusable.
2. To insert a tool, e.g. the centre 1 (Fig. 7), extend the sleeve
approx. 10 mm by turning the handwheel 3.
