Screw-cutting lathe 16K20

16K20 - basic machine of normal accuracy;

It should be remembered that in the process of technical improvement of 16K20 lathes, some changes may be made to their design. Therefore, when ordering spare parts, the following information must be provided:

• model and serial number of the machine (the model number is indicated on the plate placed on the spindle head, the serial number is indicated on the plate as a 4-digit number);
• It is advisable to purchase components (bearings, electrical equipment, etc.) according to the type or number printed directly on them indicating the basic data.
• If this is not possible, the type or number can be determined using the diagrams and tables in the manual.

Exploitation

A slight increase in the gaps between mating parts, leading to a decrease in processing accuracy, is eliminated by adjustment. Significant wear requires repair or replacement of parts. To reduce wear and prevent mechanical breakdowns during operation, it is necessary to follow the rules of equipment care.

Main movement

Since the cutting process occurs due to the rotational energy of the blank, it is usually called the main movement of the turning group equipment. The main movement drive consists of a single-speed three-phase asynchronous electric motor equipped with a manual gearbox.

Feed movement

The translational movement of the tool, ensuring contact of the cutter with the surface of the workpiece at the desired point, is called the feed movement. Its drive switches depending on the task being performed and can be manual or mechanical due to the power of the main drive.

Feeds and main movement are the main movements of the turning group equipment.

Longitudinal and transverse feed of the caliper

To move the support along and across the axis of rotation of the blank, longitudinal and transverse slides are used, respectively. Each of them is equipped with its own guides and screw drive. Transverse feed allows you to change the depth of cut and, in combination with longitudinal feed, form the required surface of the part.

Multi-start thread cutting

The selection of replacement gears is done in the same way as for cutting a single-start thread. With the difference that to determine the thread progress, its pitch must be multiplied by the number of starts. If the drive of the upper slide of the caliper is not too worn, division into approaches can be done by setting the latter parallel to the axis of rotation of the part. After cutting the groove in the first pass, the cutter, removed from the metal, is returned to its beginning. Then the cutter is retracted to a distance equal to the thread pitch from the first start. After which they begin to cut the second one.

Processing of shaped surfaces

The production of products with complex surfaces is possible in several ways:

1. Using conventional cutters using alternating longitudinal and transverse manual feed. The method has low accuracy and productivity. Requires well-developed execution technique.
2. Special shaped cutters. The method is highly productive, but requires non-standard cutters.
3. With ordinary cutters using copiers or circular feed devices. The method is highly productive, but requires manufacturing or equipment.

Installing and removing the machine chuck 16K20:

• When installing and removing the chuck, protect the guides and bed with wooden boards placed under the chuck. Hold the chuck while you loosen the 3 cam locks by rotating ¼ turn counterclockwise. Align the A marks with each other. Carefully remove the cartridge.
• Before starting installation, you should make sure that there are no nicks on the mating surfaces and thoroughly wipe them with a lint-free cloth. Install the chuck onto the front end of the spindle. Clamp the cam lock of the clamping eccentric by rotating clockwise. The clamping eccentric mark A (Fig. 5) must be located between the 2 marks B (Fig. 5). The accuracy of the chuck fit on the spindle is checked by an indicator using a control band located on the outer cylindrical surface of the chuck body. Radial runout should not exceed 0.02 mm. Fig.5 Installing and removing the machine chuck 16K20.
• The fixed steady rest serves primarily to support long workpieces and ensures their reliable processing without vibrations; it is mounted on the frame using a fastening strip. *
• Install the steady rest crackers so that there is no gap between them and the workpiece and they do not pinch it. During processing of the part, it is necessary to lubricate the crackers well.
• The movable steady rest is installed on the longitudinal slide of the support and thus repeats the movement of the turning cutter. It prevents elastic deformation of long and thin workpieces under the pressure of a turning tool. When machining a workpiece, it is necessary to install the crackers in the same way as on a stationary rest.

Purpose of the machine

In the early 70s, Soviet Mash, after several modifications of the DIP models, launched the production of turning screw-cutting 16k20. Which in 1972 received a gold medal at the international fair in Leipzig.

Intended for a variety of turning operations, it made it possible to turn various simple and complex surfaces in the chuck, on the faceplate and in centers. And besides, boring, facing, cutting, and cutting all kinds of threads. Its design was so successful that in the USSR it was long considered the best equipment of its type. Screw-cutting machines differ from other representatives of the turning group in their greater versatility.

Therefore, their use is more rational in small-scale or piece production.

Unpacking and transporting the 16K20 lathe

Fig. 1. Transportation diagram of the 16K20 lathe.

The lathe 16K20 is supplied on a pallet. When unpacking, care must be taken not to damage the machine with the unpacking tool. If upon unpacking you discover any damage that occurred during transportation, please notify the seller immediately. Do not operate the machine in this case.

Packing lists for accessories and tools are located in a separate box placed on the machine pallet.

Before transporting the 16K20 lathe unpacked, you must make sure that the moving components are securely fastened to the bed. The tailstock is fixed in the right extreme position, and the carriage is fixed in the middle part of the bed between the rope slings.

Transportation of the machine is carried out according to the transportation scheme (Fig. 1) using a four-line rope, ends 1 and 2 of which are put on two 60 mm steel rods. 3 (Fig. 1), inserted into specially provided holes in the base of the machine.

In places where the rope touches the machine, you need to install wooden spacers 4 (Fig. 1). When transporting to the installation site and when lowering it onto the foundation, it is necessary to ensure that the machine is not subjected to strong shocks and shocks.

Feed box design of screw-cutting lathe 16K20

The connection between the spindle and the machine support to ensure optimal cutting mode is carried out using a feed mechanism consisting of a reversing device (bite) and a guitar, which change the direction and speed of movement of the support.
The feed box is mounted on the frame below the spindle (front) headstock and has several shafts on which movable gear blocks and switchable gear couplings are installed. In the right position of the clutch, the lead screw rotates, and in its left position (as shown in the figure), the drive shaft rotates through the overrunning clutch.

Longitudinal feeds (22 pcs), mm/rev: 0.05-0.06-0.075-0.09-0.1-0.125-0.15-0.175-0.2-0.25-0.3-0 .35-0.4-0.5-0.6-0.7-0.8-1-1.6-2-2.4-2.8.

Cross feeds (24 pcs), mm/rev: 0.025-0.03-0.0375-0.045-0.05-0.0625-0.075-0.0875-0.1-0.125-0.15-0.175-0 ,2-0.25-0.3-0.35-0.4-0.5-0.6-0.7-0.8-1-1.2-1.4.

Adjusting the feed box of the machine 16K20

When repairing the machine, special attention should be paid to the correct installation of the gear shift mechanism mounted on plate 38, which is attached to the housing 3 of the feed box. In order to avoid disruption of the order of engagement of the gear wheels of the feed box during assembly, it is necessary to combine the marks marked on gears 51 and 52.

Installation of machine 16K20

The longevity of maintaining the accuracy of the machine largely depends on the correct installation. The machine should be installed on the foundation according to the installation drawing (Fig. 2).

Rice. 2 Installation drawing of the foundation of the lathe 16K20

The depth of the foundation is taken depending on the soil, but must be at least 150 mm.

If the 16K20 machine is intended for finishing operations, the foundation depth must be at least 500 mm.

The machine is attached to the foundation with four foundation bolts with M24 threads.

When installing a 6K20 lathe, it is necessary to provide for the presence of free zones for opening the door of the electrical equipment cabinet and turning the sub-motor plate of the main drive electric motor, as well as for the possibility of dismantling the shields of the drive shaft and lead screw for cleaning and lubrication of the latter.

As an option, it may be proposed to install the machine at an angle of 10° to the wall of the workshop or equipment placement line.

Gearbox 16K20

Gearbox assembly for screw-cutting lathe 16K20. You can also purchase a friction clutch for this gearbox.

Gear boxes are the most common mechanisms for regulating speeds in the main movement drives of universal machine tools. The advantages of gearboxes are as follows: the ability to regulate over a wide range, the ability to transmit significant power, reliable operation, and a constant gear ratio. The disadvantages of such boxes include the impossibility of stepless control, low efficiency, and the difficulty of switching gears on the go. The design of the gearbox is closely related to the design of the spindle drive, and their calculation and design are carried out jointly. According to their design, gearboxes can be divided into three groups:

1) boxes that differ in their location in the machine (in layout); 2) boxes that differ in the method of switching speeds; 3) boxes that differ kinematically.

Speed ​​boxes in their layout and location in the machine are determined mainly by the purpose of the machine and its standard size and, in turn, are divided into three groups:

1) built-in gearboxes; 2) gearboxes, made in the form of an independent unit; 3) attached gearboxes.

Built-in gearboxes . In this case, the gearbox is constructed directly in the spindle head housing near the spindle unit, connected to it by a system of gears and is generally called “spindle head”. This arrangement is used in most general-purpose machines of medium and large sizes due to its compactness, fewer body parts, reduction in the number of castings and parts for butt fitting, and ease of transmission of rotation to the spindle. It should, however, be taken into account that the built-in gearbox serves as a source of harmful vibrations and heat for the spindle assembly, which is unacceptable in precision machines. According to the overall layout, these boxes come with a normal ratio of overall and axial dimensions and with reduced axial or radial dimensions.

a) Spindle heads with a normal ratio between axial and radial overall dimensions are used in small and medium-sized horizontal machines. For this purpose, gears and shaft axles are combined.

b) Headstocks with reduced axial dimensions are most often made due to the development of radial overall dimensions. This arrangement is used for machines with cantilever moving masses (the spindle head moves perpendicular to the spindle axis) in order to eliminate vibrations, in particular for radial drilling and longitudinal milling machines. The vertical layout of the machine also requires a reduction in the axial dimensions of the headstock - to reduce the overall height and vibration.

c) Headstocks with reduced radial dimensions

Due to the development of axial ones, they are used in heavy horizontal lathes and some other groups. This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the transverse dimensions of the machine, and therefore the width of the workshop bay.

Gearboxes made as an independent unit. These boxes are located in a separate housing (gearbox) and are used in machines with the so-called split drive. They eliminate the disadvantages inherent in built-in boxes; they provide smoother spindle rotation and are most often used in precision machines. A divided drive of the main movement in the machine (for example, in a machine type 1A616 (see Fig. 72) is typical for modern high-speed machines. In this case, the spindle head and gearbox are connected by a belt drive; a device is provided for unloading the spindle from the belt tension force. The advantage of this separate drive is as follows: spindle rotation at high speeds is transmitted directly through an elastic belt drive without the participation of gears, which ensures smooth, vibration-free operation of the machine; friction losses in the main drive are reduced due to the reduction in the number of high-speed gears and shaft supports in the kinematic chain; mechanisms controls in the machine are convenient, fast; installation and unification of speed boxes are facilitated. The split drive is widely used in small and medium-sized high-speed and precision machine tools, as well as in machines where it is difficult to place the speed box near the working element. In heavy machines, the split drive loses its advantages and therefore is almost never used. Attached gearboxes . When modernizing outdated models of metal-cutting machines with a step control drive, in order to increase their productivity, speed boxes are used - gearboxes, most often executed in the form of unified attached individual drives. They are installed on the foundation near the machine (directly or on a column) or directly on the machine and connected to the spindle using a belt drive. Unified attached gearboxes are available in four sizes to transmit power at 2.8; 4.5; 7 and 10 ket. To reduce the time it takes to stop the machine, electrical braking is provided in the attached boxes, and the rotation of the spindle is changed by reversing the electric motor. The method of switching gearbox stages is mainly determined by the purpose of the machine and depends on the frequency of switching and the duration of working strokes. In our catalog you will find a wide selection of spare parts and accessories for machines.

The average screw-cutting lathe 16K20 is a successful modification of the legendary Soviet machine 1K62.
Appearing in Soviet-made machine parks half a century ago, it continues to work today in many enterprises, although sometimes there is a need to buy a 16K20 spindle head , or some other unit to replace a worn one. The gearbox or headstock (also called the spindle headstock) includes several important components that determine the operating algorithms of the machine:

• the presence of a friction clutch guarantees three options for turning on the spindle - forward and reverse directions of rotation, as well as stopping with braking;
• the gearbox mechanism allows you to select one of 24 spindle rotation speeds, forming the main movement of the machine;
• The spindle unit ensures spindle rotation in precision bearings, ensuring the specified precision of metalworking.

Thus, the repair of the 16K20 gearbox can be associated both with the loss of the former accuracy of processing parts, and directly with the malfunctions that have arisen. As a rule, it involves a large amount of work, including dismantling, troubleshooting and a number of other operations, the implementation of which should be entrusted to professionals. In addition, only original spare parts must be used during repairs. An alternative to such a repair (usually a major one) is to buy a 16K20 headstock assembly and replace the entire assembly. Our company's catalog offers a wide range of spare parts of original quality. From us, a client can easily buy ready-made assembled units, including such complex and important ones as a spindle head. But the main advantage of our 16K20 gearbox is that you can buy the assembled product from us at the minimum manufacturer price.

Preparing the 16K20 machine for launch.

Alignment of the installation of the machine in a horizontal plane is carried out using a level installed in the middle part of the support parallel and perpendicular to the axis of the centers (the foundation bolts must not be tightened). In any position of the carriage, the level deviation should not exceed 0.04 mm per 1000 mm.

Having familiarized yourself with the instructions set out in the sections immediately following this, you can, in accordance with the sequence recommended below, begin preparing the 16K20 lathe for start-up.

Perform all operations related to preparing the 16K20 machine for startup, set out in section 6 “Lubricating the machine,” and fill the base chip collector located under the bed with coolant.

Connect according to the instructions in Section 7 “Electrical Equipment”. the machine to the grounding circuit and, after checking the correspondence of the network voltage and the electrical equipment of the machine, connect it to the electrical network.

After familiarizing yourself with the purpose of the controls (section, check by hand the operation of all machine mechanisms. The spindle rotation switch lever must be set to the neutral position.

You should be aware that due to the presence of locking devices, the 16K20 machine cannot be turned on:

• with the control cabinet door open;
• with the cover of replaceable gears open;
• with the cartridge guard cover folded back.

A description of blocking devices is placed in section 7 “Electrical equipment”.

By pressing the black “Start” button 5 (Fig. 4), turn on the main drive electric motor.

ATTENTION! It is imperative to check the operation of the centralized lubrication system of the spindle head of the 16K20 machine and the feed box using the oil indicator. If the oil indicator does not rotate, operation of the machine is unacceptable .

The operation of the lubrication pump can be monitored through a peephole located on the front of the headstock.

Using a switch, check the operation of the coolant pump motor.

After completing these operations, the machine is ready to start.

Machine lubrication 16K20.

Correct and regular lubrication of the 16K20 lathe is of great importance for its normal operation and durability. Therefore, you must strictly adhere to the recommendations below.

When preparing the machine for startup, it is necessary to wash the filter mesh in kerosene, then, in accordance with the “Lubrication Card” and the lubrication diagram (Fig. 3), fill the reservoirs with lubricant and lubricate the mechanisms indicated in the card.

Lubrication should be carried out with lubricants specified in the lubrication chart, or their substitutes given in the “List of recommended lubricants” (clause 6.3).

Factory markings and designations

In accordance with the ESUOS, the designation of a machine or its index consists of several numbers and letters. The first character is the group number. Turning equipment is assigned No. 1. The second indicates the variety or type of device in the group, for example, 6 corresponds to universal turning and screw-cutting equipment. Next is a number characterizing the most important dimensional parameter. For lathes it is the height of the centers above the base plane.

The letter located between the first and second digits of the index indicates that the model was obtained by improving its predecessor. The placement of the letter at the end of the designation indicates that this model is the result of a modification of the base one. The letter located in the middle is a sign that this is a basic model and serves as the name of the generation. Thus, the index 16k20 has the basic model of a new generation “K” screw-cutting lathe with a center height of 200 mm.

Precision designation

According to operating tolerances, turning equipment is usually divided into the following categories:

1. N – normal accuracy;
2. P – increased;
3. B – high;
4. A – especially high.
5. C – especially accurate (master).

Machine lubrication map 16K20

List of lubricants recommended for lubrication of the 16K20 machine

In the absence of lubricants specified in the list, it is permissible to use only those oils whose main characteristics correspond to those given.

Description of the lubrication system of the 16K20 machine

The 16K20 machine uses an automatic centralized lubrication system for the spindle head and feed box.

The pump, driven from the main drive electric motor through a belt drive, sucks oil from the oil bath and delivers it through a strainer to the spindle bearings and oil distribution trays. About a minute after turning on the electric motor, the oil indicator disk on the spindle head begins to rotate. Its constant rotation indicates normal operation of the lubrication system.

During operation, it is necessary to monitor the rotation of the oil indicator disk on the spindle head of the 6K20 machine. When it stops, you must immediately turn off the machine and check the filter. Remove the filter mesh elements in the plastic frame. Rinse each element in kerosene until completely clean. Do not blow out the filter elements with compressed air, as this may damage the fine mesh. After cleaning, assemble and install the filter.

ATTENTION! Filters must be cleaned before and after each oil change. In a new machine, it is advisable to clean the strainer at least twice a week for the first two weeks, and then once a month.

Every day before starting work, you need to check the oil level in the tank using the indicator and, if necessary, add it through the hole in the filler filter. When changing the oil, the reservoir is drained through a plug. Before filling the tank with oil, it must be cleaned and rinsed with kerosene.

The apron mechanism is automatically lubricated by an individual plunger pump. Oil is poured into the housing through hole 5 (Fig. 3), closed with a plug, and drained through hole 6 (Fig. 3). The oil level is controlled by the oil indicator on the front side of the apron.

The frame guides are lubricated using a centralized lubrication system of the caliper apron (repeatedly, depending on the intensity of use).

The guides of the transverse carriage, the upper carriage, as well as their lead screws must be lubricated using an oil can.

The carriage guides and cross slides are lubricated at the beginning and middle of the shift until an oil film appears on the guides.

Every day at the end of the shift, you need to remove the cutting head from the 16K20 lathe, clean its working surfaces and lubricate the conical axis of the tool holder.

Replacement gears and the axis of the intermediate replacement gear 12 (Fig. 3) are lubricated manually with CIATIM-203 GOST 8773-73 grease.

The support bushings of the replacement gears are lubricated using an oil can.

The remaining points are lubricated manually using the oil can supplied with the machine.

ATTENTION! The first oil change should be made a month after putting the 16K20 machine into operation, the second - after three months, and then strictly following the instructions of the lubrication chart.

Prevention and repair

Daily care activities

Before starting work:

• Inspection of the machine.
• Lubricate the lead screw and shaft.
• Controlling the amount of oil.
• Switching on with checking nodes without load.

During operation:

• Switch feeds and gears only after the moving units have finally stopped.
• When working with cast iron or abrasive materials, cover the guides with thick cloth.

After the end of working hours: turn off the power supply, remove the shavings, wipe with a rag soaked in kerosene, and lubricate the open guides with oil.

Malfunctions and their elimination

A slight increase in caliper clearances can be eliminated by adjusting the wedges in the transverse or upper slide guides, and the adjustment screws in the rear guide of the longitudinal slide. Then, moving the slide to the maximum distance, make sure that it moves smoothly. Leaks in the screw drive of the cross slide are eliminated by adjusting the screws located behind the tool holder platform.

Locking devices for electrical equipment of machine 16K20

The electrical circuit includes a lock that turns off the input circuit breaker when the control cabinet door is opened.

When the input circuit breaker is turned on, opening the cabinet door triggers the limit switch, which disconnects the electrical equipment of the machine from the network.

When the housing of the replacement gears is opened, a microswitch is activated, turning off the main drive motor.

The limit switch is mounted in the control cabinet, the microswitch is on the feed box housing.

For inspection and adjustment of electrical equipment under voltage (with the cabinet door open), the circuit provides a release switch installed in the control cabinet. This switch should only be used by qualified electricians.

Instructions for the initial start-up of the 16K20 machine

During the initial start-up of the 16K20 machine, it is necessary to check the reliability of grounding and the quality of installation of electrical equipment by external inspection. After inspection, disconnect the power wires of all electric motors at the terminal sets in the control cabinet and connect the machine to the workshop network using the input circuit breaker. Check the operation of all locking devices

1. Using manual controls, check the precise operation of magnetic starters and relays.
2. Once smooth operation of all electrical devices located in the control cabinet is achieved, connect the previously disconnected wires to the terminal sets.
3. By alternately turning on the electric motors of the main drive and quickly moving the caliper, check the correct direction of their rotation.
4. After making sure that the electric motors rotate correctly, you can begin testing the machine in operation.

Recommendations for servicing the electrical equipment of the 16K20 machine.

It is necessary to periodically check the condition of the starting and relay equipment of the 16K20 machine. All parts of electrical devices must be cleaned of dust and dirt. If carbon deposits form on the contacts, the latter must be removed using a velvet file or glass paper. To avoid rust, the interface between the core and the starter armature must be periodically lubricated with machine oil, followed by obligatory wiping with a dry cloth (to prevent the armature from sticking to the core). When inspecting relay equipment, special attention should be paid to the reliability of the closing and opening of contact bridges.

• The frequency of technical inspections of electric motors is set depending on production conditions, but not less than once every two months.
• During technical inspections, the condition of the input wires of the stator winding is checked, the motors are cleaned of contamination, and the reliability of grounding and connection of the shaft to the drive mechanism is monitored.
• The frequency of preventative repairs is set depending on production conditions, but at least once a year.
• During preventive maintenance, electric motors must be disassembled, internal and external surfaces must be cleaned, and bearing grease must be replaced.
• Under normal operating conditions, bearing grease should be replaced after 4000 hours of operation, and when operating the electric motor in dusty and humid environments - as necessary.
• Before filling with fresh grease, the bearings must be thoroughly washed with gasoline. Fill the chamber with lubricant to 2/3 of its volume. Recommended lubricants are given in table. 5.
• Preventive inspection of circuit breakers must be carried out at least once every six months, as well as after each shutdown due to a short circuit, including repeated ones.
• During inspection, you need to clean the switch from soot and metal deposits, check the tightness of the screws, the integrity of the springs and the condition of the contacts. The hinges of the switch mechanism should be periodically (after approximately 2,000-3,000 starts) lubricated with instrument oil.

ATTENTION! Do not make any adjustments to the switches under operating conditions. It was made by the manufacturer!
