SWISS TYPE AUTOMATIC LATHE

SINGLE SPINDLE AUTOMATIC SCREW CUTTING MACHINE
SWISS TYPE AUTOMATIC LATHES:
Other name: SLIDING HEAD AUTOMATIC
LATHE.
Production: Long parts of small diameters (2 to
25mm)
Accuracy: 0.005mm to 0.0125mm.
Application:
Parts to assemble wristwatches.
Tools used in medicines.



PARTS:
Sliding headstock
Toolbracket
Feed base
Cam shaft
SLIDING HEADSTOCK:
Head stock has a collet.
The barstock is held in the collet.
The headstock slides along the guide ways of
the bed.
A bell cam connected to the camshaft controls
this sliding motion.

TOOL BRACKET:
The tool bracket is mounted on the bed way
near the headstock.
The tool bracket supports 4 or 5 tool slides.
It also has a bush for supporting and guiding the
bar stock.
Two slides are positioned horizontally.
The other slides are arranged above these
slides.
All the slides can move back and forth.



FEED BASE:
The feed is mounted at the right side of the head
stock.
This can move along the bed.
Using this attachments operation like drilling,
boring, thread cutting etc.
The movement of the feed base is controlled by
the plate cam fitted to the camshaft.
CAM SHAFT:
The cam shaft is mounted at the front of the
manchine.
It has a bell cam at the end.
This controls the sliding movement of the
headstock.
Plate cams fitted at the centre of the shaft
controls the movement of the tool slides.
Plate cam at the right end of the camshaft
controls the movement of the feed base.

WORKING PRINCIPLE:
ADVANTAGES:
Wide range of speed is available (1000 to
10000rpm)
It is rigid in construction.
Micrometer tool setting is possible.
Simple design of cam is enough.
Numerous working stations are available.

SINGLE SPINDLE SCREW CUTTING MACHINE:
It mainly consits of a
cross slide and a
turrent.
Two cross slides one
front cross slide and
rear cross slide are
for cross feeding.
An vertical slide is
also employed above
the work spindle.

TURRENT SLIDE:
The turrent slide is
placed at the right
end of the bed.
It carries the turrent
having six tool holes.
The various tools
used in the machine
are mounted around
the turret.

HEAD STOCK:
In this machine, head stock is stationary.
It consists of a which rotates in either direction.
The bar stock is held in a chuck.

CAM SHAFT:
A cam shaft is mounted at the front of the
machine.
It carries three plate cams.
The plate cams control the travel of cross slides.
The turret slide travel is controlled by a lead
cam.
The lead cam gives a slow forward and fast
return movement to the turrent slide.
The discs cams are used to control the cross
slide.
OPERATIONS:
Drilling, turning, boring, threading, reaming, spot
facing, knurling.
With some attachment slotting work, milling flats,
cross drilling etc.
JOBS:
stock round, square, hexagonal can be
machined.
APPLICATION:
The general purpose single spindle automatic
lathes are widely used for quantity or mass
production (by machining) of high quality
fasteners; bolts, screws, studs etc., bushings,
pins, shafts, rollers, handles and similar small
metallic parts from long bars or tubes of regular
section and also often from separate small
blanks.
ADVANTAGES:
Preferably and essentially used for larger
volume of production
Used always for producing jobs of rod, tubular or
ring type and of relatively smaller size.
Run fully automatically, including bar feeding
and tool indexing, and continuously over a long
duration
Provided with upto five radial tool slides which
are moved by cams mounted on a cam shaft
Of relatively smaller size and power but have
higher spindle speeds
