Bed:

Pillar type bed, designed for operating convenience, is of smooth and rigid construction. It is equipped with ground and chrome plated pillars for guiding and supporting the carriage. These ways are of heavy cross-section with large bearing surfaces to assure accurate carriage alignment and to minimize wear. Guards, attached to the carriages, prevent damage to the ground surfaces of the ways.

Lengths:

Single spindle machine are available in various size bed lengths to provide travel lengths as per convenience.

Chip Removal Ease:

The bed contains ample chip space and is provided with chip removal from either side of the machine. A wide drip ledge returns any coolant overflow and a large screened opening over the coolant reservoir permits rapid coolant returns.           

Headstock Precision Construction:

The headstock is of box construction and of heavy cross section. It is positioned on the machine bed to provide maximum rigidity and permanent alignment with the carriage ways. To assure accuracy, quiet operation and maximum wearing qualities, the headstock gears are of hardened and precisioned shaved alloy steel. In addition all shafts are heat treated alloy steel. The spindle drive is accomplished through spiral bevel gears. The machine is equipped with D.C drive for variable speeds as per job requirements.

Reversing Mechanism:

All single spindle, lead screw machines (optional) employ a mechanical reversing mechanism which enables the spindle to operate in both directions. Thus, both right-hand and left-hand threads can be produced simultaneously.

Lubrication:

The headstock is totally enclosed to exclude all foreign matter and to enable use of a flood type lubrication system. An oil sight glass is provided to facilitate maintenance of the proper oil level. 

Wide Speed Range:

The DC drive facilitates variable speeds which enable efficient spindle speeds for the desired threading diameter. Higher or lower speed ranges are available when required for special uses.
