head can be clamped
to the extension arm when adjusted to the
drilling position. Travelling upon the inside
horizontal flange of the guide-way for easy
motion, the head moves on antifriction
bearings eccentrically mounted for
adjustability.

The totally enclosed head casting carries

at its top the motor driving the spindle, and
contains inside the spindle with its drive
and feed mechanisms as well as their
safety devices. Operation is rendered
easy by the centralized controls.

SPINDLE AND
SPINDLE DRIVE

The alloy-steel spindle is guided inside the

spindle sleeve upon 5 high precision
antifriction bearings. Thrust ball bearings
and radial ball bearings take the axial and
radial stresses, respectively, acting upon
the spindle. The spindle is traversed in
longitudinal sense by hand or by power
through a gear engaging with the rack on
the spindle sleeve. Hand traverse can be
coarse or sensitive. Coarse hand feed is
actuated with the double lever located on
the engagement piece after pulling the
double lever forward. Sensitive hand feed
is operated with the handwheel in-
stalled at the bottom of the head after

pushing the double lever inward. Power

feed must first be disengaged for both.

Power feed is engaged by shifting upward

the small handle at the right- hand side of

the head and by shifting the double lever

inward.

The 12-step, sliding-gear spindle drive is

connected to the spindle at the

top splined part of the latter. The

spindle drive incorporates two

plate clutches. The spindle is

started and reversed, with the

spindle motor in constant

operation, by means of the

clutch corresponding to the

sense of rotation. This feature

ensures smooth
starling, important primarily for tapping
operations. A further feature is that the
spindle rotates in reverse at a speed 1,4
times as high as the selected spindle
speed.

In order to reduce idle periods, a brake

mechanism automatically brings the
spindle to standstill 2—3 seconds after
the drive has been disengaged.

The speed rates of the spindle drive are

selected with a three-position group
engagement wheel at the left- hand side
of the head and with a six- position
shifting lever located below the former.
The engaged rate of speed is indicated
by an illuminated numeral on the speed
indicator panel at the front of the head.
Speeds can be changed only with the
machine at standstill. Gear breakages
due to improper operation of the gear-
shifting mechanism are prevented by an
interlock acting in such a manner that
the engagement lever cannot be shifted
with the spindle rotating on the one
hand, and by preventing the starting of
the spindle until all gears are in full
mesh.

The gears of the spindle drive are

hardened and ground.

The design of the spindle drive permits

the transmission of torque up to 2600
kg-cm. This maximum torque will occur
at about 125 RPM in case the motor
power is fully utilized. The motor power
may be utilized only up to the
permissible maximum torque of 2600
kg-cm when employing either of the first
three spindle speeds.
A shear pin installed in one of the

shafts of the spindle drive protects it

against overloads. If sheared off, the

shear pin can be replaced through an

aperture in the top of the head closed

by a cover.

FEED DRIVE

The 9-step feed drive, installed in the

bottom of the head, traverses the

spindle sleeve through a ball clutch

tripped by overloads, and through a

worm drive.

Feed rates are engaged by means of a

9-position lever located at the left-

hand side of the head above the

spindle speed group engagement

wheel. The engaged rate of feed is

indicated by an illuminated numeral on

the feed indicator panel at the front ot

the head.

Automatic depth control is effected with

high accuracy through a mechanism

controlled by the engagement piece at

the front of the head. The mechanism

trips the feed as soon as the adjusted

depth is attained.

The weight of the spindle and of the

connected parts moving in a vertical

sense is counterbalanced by a helical

spring mounted in a housing at the rear

of the top of the head. The

pretensioning of the spring must be

adjusted to correspond with the weight

of the tool held in the spindle. The

spindle and feed drives in the head are

lubricated by a circulation system. The

pushbutton reverses the motor, which
starts rotating the screw in the opposite
sense until it clamps the extension arm.
When clamping is terminated, the motor
is stopped by a switch.

The electrical equipment is for

connection to a 380 V, 50 cycles, 3-
phase a. c. supply. The motors are for
380/220 V, the spindle motor of
machines with star-delta starter being
for 660/380 V. Operating and work light
voltages are 36 V.
The spindle motor is equipped with no-
voltage release, i. e. the switch must
first be set to normal before restarting a
voltage failure. The spindle motor is
protected against overloads by bimetal
circuit breakers. The motors are
controlled by low- voltage contactors
actuated by pushbuttons, thus, there is
no high voltage at the controls.
