Areas and features of the use of gear shaping machines

Modification 5M14

The 5M14 universal mechanical gear shaping machine, like its analogues, is intended for cutting teeth of various types of cylindrical wheels.
The chisel tip of the equipment has a small overtravel, which makes it possible to cut gears in blocks. The work process is carried out by rolling the part with circular modular devices. The unit has a vertical layout, the chiselling tool is made in the form of a gear wheel, the module of which is identical to that of the workpiece being processed. During operation, the cutter receives translational and reciprocal movement and synchronous rotation around its own axis. At the beginning of the operation, the working part moves relative to the axis of the workpiece after each stroke in automatic mode. This process continues until the required tooth height is reached.

Processing and stopping of the equipment is carried out under the control of an automatic controller.

Lubricant supply

The production method under consideration is characterized by increased wear of the cutting tool. To achieve greater processing speed, the speed and stroke of the cutter are increased. This method of increasing productivity is due to:

• Rapid wear of the cutting tool. By increasing the temperature of the cutting edge material, the plasticity index increases and frictional resistance decreases. Therefore, the solution to the problem is to use a cutting tool with a high-strength alloy.
• Changing the performance properties of the workpiece material. Due to the increase in temperature in the cutting zone, it begins to burn, which leads to the appearance of a burr. In addition, the main characteristics of the resulting gears change. In certain cases, this may result in defects that render the product unusable.
• If the processing modes are chosen incorrectly, the equipment itself suffers. It should be taken into account that the manufacturer indicates the maximum load value that can occur at the time of running in the workpiece.

Gear shaping machines of a classic type have a lubricating fluid supply system. The electrical circuit is often represented by a separate motor that creates pressure in the lubricant supply system. It is supplied to the cutting zone, which reduces the friction force and surface temperature.

A variety of oils and emulsion liquids can be used as a lubricant. Due to the abundant lubrication, the product remains coated with lubricant after processing. Of course, in most cases it will also be operated with oil supply, but this point complicates transportation, loading and unloading, as well as the installation process. Therefore, in some cases, this method of cooling the cutting zone will not be suitable.

Chain for cutting the cutter into the workpiece (radial feed).

Radial cutting of a cutter into a workpiece in machines mod. 514, 512, 5A12, 5B12, 5M14 and others are carried out using a cam, which can be one-, two- or three-pass. According to the selected cam, the workpiece is cut in one, two or three passes (depending on the material, module and required accuracy). The cam has two sections: cutting in (a, B) and running in (bc).

In the cutting area, the radius of the cam gradually increases by the amount H - the pitch of the spiral rise. When processing in one pass, after turning the cam by 90° and turning each of them (after cutting in), the table with the workpiece made one revolution. Calculated movement in a radial feed chain

Cutting gears by gear shaping

When cutting block wheels and wheels with shoulders, internal teeth, gear sectors, gear shaping is the only possible processing method. In all other cases, the choice of processing method is confirmed by a technical and economic calculation.

The lower cost of a shaper compared to a milling cutter also characterizes gear shaping positively. With increasing requirements for the degree of accuracy and a decrease in the surface roughness parameter of the teeth of the wheels being processed, the time required for gear hobbing grows faster than the time for gear shaping.

When cutting gears without radial feed, a special cutter is used, the number of teeth of which is twice as large as that of the wheel being cut (Fig. 3, a).

The cutter has a recess for removing the finished part from the machine and installing the workpiece. One half of the cutter is intended for roughing of teeth, the second for finishing. The thickness of the rough teeth is less than the thickness of the finishing teeth by the amount of double the allowance for finishing chiselling. The wheel is cut in two revolutions. During the first revolution, the roughing teeth of the cutter cut the depressions, leaving an allowance on their sides, which is cut off by the finishing teeth of the cutter during the second revolution of the workpiece.

A cutter with two notches and a number of teeth four times greater than the number of teeth of the wheel being cut ensures the processing of the teeth of one workpiece in half a turn of the cutter (Fig. 3, b).

Simultaneous processing of several workpieces with one combined cutter increases the productivity of the process (Fig. 3, c). The workpieces are installed in machine spindles, which rotate around their axis and, together with the table, about the axis.

The characteristics of domestic gear shaping machines are given in Table. 4.

Types of machine drives

The design of gear hobbing devices is characterized by high technological complexity. Manufacturers offer various drive designs with the following features:

1. Worm type table drive. A special feature of the design is the installation of an additional worm with a variable coil thickness, the gap of which is adjustable over a wide range.
2. Separate worm gear installed in a separate unit. Adjustment is carried out using radial movement.
3. A scheme in which two worm gears with opposite directions of turns are installed on the spindles is considered universal. By adjusting one gear, the current gap is changed.
4. Hydraulic type. In this case, the transmission is driven by hydraulic fluid supplied by a pump.
5. Double type. The adjusting gear is made of two halves. When their position relative to each other changes, the gap changes.
6. Conical. When implementing this scheme, gears with a small taper are used. With axial displacement, the engagement changes and the gap is corrected.
7. Multi-toothed. Using a spindle-mounted multi-tooth gear allows the speed of the base wheel to be slowed down. The kinematic chain is adjusted by braking the wheel.

When considering various drives, it is worth mentioning the use of CNC gear hobbing machines.

The use of numerical control narrows the range of responsibilities of the operator due to the absence of a division guitar. Note that the cost of such machines is quite high, which does not allow their use in enterprises with small production volumes.

Kinematic diagram and setup of gear shaping machine 5A12

Kinematic diagram of gear shaping machine 5a12

The kinematic diagram of the machine provides the following basic movements:

Reciprocating movement of the cutter

From an electric motor with a power of N = 1.2 kW at n = 960 rpm, through a pair of bevel wheels 1 and 2, replaceable speed wheels A and B, shaft I rotates. At the front end of shaft I there is a crank gear disk 33, which rotates the connecting rod 35 transmits the rocking motion to the rocker arm 36. The toothed sector 37, mounted on the rocker arm, is in engagement with a circular rack on the slider (spindle) 38 and imparts reciprocating motion to it.

Rotation of the cutter

On shaft I there is a four-threaded worm 3, which meshes with a worm wheel 4. When shaft I rotates through a worm pair 3-4 and replaceable circular feed wheels B and D, the movement is transmitted to shaft II. Next, shaft III rotates through conical wheels 5 and 6 (a reversible mechanism that changes the direction of rotation of the cutter). The conical wheel 7, mounted on shaft III, engages with wheel 8, freely sitting on shaft IV. When clutch M1 is engaged, rotation is transmitted to shaft IV through a worm pair 9 10 to the slider. Guide half-bushings of the same type as on machine 514 are fixed on the slider and in the hole of the worm wheel (Fig. 94).

Table rotation

At the right end of shaft II, a replaceable gear wheel D of the division guitar is fixed, which through replaceable wheels E, G and 3 imparts rotation to shaft V. Further, through bevel wheels 11-12 shaft VI receives rotation and through bevel wheels 13-14 (reversible mechanism) - worm 15 and worm wheel 16, rotating the table with the workpiece.

Radial feed (plunge)

Just like in the 514 machine, the plunging is controlled by a cam, but in this machine the cam rotates continuously and evenly both during the plunging and after the plunging stops. One of the three wheels of the gear block, sitting on a sliding key on shaft V, is engaged with the corresponding wheel mounted on shaft VI. Thus, through wheels 17-18 or 19-20, or 21-22 and then through the worm pair 23-24, the plunge cam K1 is rotated. Wheel 24 (Fig. 114) sits freely on the feed cam shaft and rotates this shaft with the help of a pawl a, which engages with a ratchet wheel b mounted on the shaft. The rotation of cam K1 causes longitudinal movement of the rack 28, which in turn pushes the caliper with the cutter in the direction of the product, thereby imparting a radial feed (plunging). A weight 42, suspended from a chain stretched over a sprocket 43, tends to turn the sprocket, and with it the rack and pinion wheel 30 counterclockwise. Since the rack wheel 30 is in engagement with the rack 31 attached to the caliper, the caliper always tends to move along the machine guides to the left. Due to this, roller H, fixed at the end of the rack 28, is constantly pressed against the curved surface of the plunge cam K1.

Caliper installation movement

The installation movement of the caliper is achieved by manually rotating (handle P5) the worm 25, on the axis of which a dial (circular scale) is mounted. In this case, the worm wheel 26 and the wheel 27 attached to it on the same shaft rotate, engaging with the rack 28. The rack remains motionless, since under the action of the load its roller is pressed against the plunge cam, and the caliper moves along the guides relative to the rack. When the worm 25 is stationary, the caliper relative to the rack cannot move, since the worm wheel 26 is braked by the worm. It is known that worms with a small lift angle are called self-braking and, no matter what the load on the wheel, do not turn on their own. To quickly move the caliper manually, use the square Po on the wheel axis 29. In this case, you need to remove the worm 25, which prevents rotation, from engagement with the wheel 26.

Reciprocating movement of the table, retracting the workpiece when the cutter is idling

This movement is obtained from cam K2, mounted on shaft I. The cam, with the help of a pusher 39 and a crank lever 40, pushes the rod 41, which moves the table with the workpiece along the guides. The stroke is no more than 0.5 mm.

7D430, 7D450 Slotting machine with hydraulic drive. Purpose and scope

The hydroficated slotting machine model 7D430 and 7D450 is designed for the production of keyways, splines and grooves on shaped and flat surfaces, for slotting flat and shaped surfaces, cutouts, grooves in cylindrical and conical holes and slotting with an undercut of up to 10°.

The drive for moving the cutter and the drive for feeding the table for each double stroke of the cutter are hydraulic.

The machine has step-throttle speed control.

The speed of the cutter is controlled by two handles located on the control panel cover. One of them sets four stages, the other smoothly regulates the speed within each stage.

Changing the direction of movement of the cutter occurs by switching the control spool with two stops located on the control panel cover. The same stops regulate the length and relative position of the cutter stroke. The speed of movement of the cutter is constant over the entire stroke length.

The cutter slide is hinged in the cheeks of the upper frame and can be rotated together with the cutter in a vertical plane up to 10° in the longitudinal direction of the frame.

The machine table has three types of feeds:

• longitudinal
• transverse
• circular

Rapid movement of the table in the indicated directions is carried out by a separate electric motor.

The table can also be moved manually in three directions.

The feed box has a dividing mechanism for rotating the table, which allows you to accurately divide the workpiece into the required number of parts.

The machine has a mechanism that allows you to configure the machine for a certain length of processing of a part and automatically turns off the machine at the end of processing; in this case, the cutter stops in the upper position. The design of the machine ensures automatic removal of the cutter from the product during the reverse stroke of the cutter.

The pendant push-button station provides remote control - starting and stopping the main movement electric motor, rapid movement electric motor, electric cooling pump, as well as starting and stopping the cutter and setting it to adjustment mode.

The lubrication of the cutter guides and the return of oil to the bath are carried out by a double plunger pump. The pump drive is eccentric. In addition, there is a manual pump to lubricate the guides. Lubrication of table guides is centralized from manually driven lubricators.

Gear hobbing machines. Design, description and technical characteristics.

Gear hobbing machines are designed for cutting cylindrical wheels with straight and helical teeth of external gear using shaped disk, finger and worm modular cutters. If a gear hobbing machine has, in addition to a vertical lead screw, radial or tangential movement of the tool relative to the workpiece, then it can also cut worm wheels with hob cutters. A machine that has all three of the above screws is classified as a universal gear hobbing machine.

On gear hobbing machines, cylindrical and worm wheels are cut using the rolling method and the copying method with axial, radial-axial and tangential feeds in one or two working strokes. Depending on the location of the axis of the product, the machines are divided into vertical ones (they consist of a bed, a tool stand, a milling support, a rear table stand for installing the product. Vertical machines are made with a stand movable in the radial direction or with a table movable in this direction, as well as with a table movable in the vertical direction.The layout of machines with a movable stand and a fixed table is most convenient for automating the gear cutting process.

Horizontal machines designed for cutting teeth on heavy parts are made with a tool stand movable in the horizontal direction, and machines for cutting small wheels are made with a movable table carrying the product.

Technical data of gear hobbing machines

The tooth profile is formed by copying or rolling, the tooth shape along the length is formed by touching. Gear hobbing machines of the copying method have a simple structure consisting of groups: ФV(В1), ФS(П2), as well as division Д(В3). Touch-rolling machines have two or three shaping groups and do not have a division group: tooth profile: ФV(В1 В2); length shape: straight teeth: ФS(П3), helical: ФS(П3 В4).

The copying method, when the cutting edges of the tool correspond to the shape of the cavity of the gear wheel and after cutting one cavity, the workpiece is rotated by one tooth using a dividing device, the rolling method (the processing tool reproduces the movement of a pair of gear wheels), hot and cold rolling.

The shaping of worm wheel teeth is carried out using radial and tangential cutting methods. The first method uses a radial displacement screw. The formation of the side surfaces of the teeth along the profile and length, as well as the dividing process, is carried out in one complex movement Фu, (В1В2). The process of radial cutting of the cutter teeth into the workpiece is carried out by the movement Вр (П7). The second method uses a tangential screw and a special hob cutter with a intake cone. The formation of the profile and shape of the tooth along the length, as well as the dividing process, is carried out, as in the first method, by the movement Фu (В1В2). The second movement Фs2 (П5В6) carries out tangential incision due to the conical part of the cutter and once again the formation of the side surfaces.

Semi-automatic vertical gear hobbing machines 53A50, 53A50N, 53A80, 53A80N are designed for cutting cylindrical and worm gears in individual and mass production.

Gear hobbing semi-automatic models 53A50, 53A80 are manufactured according to class P GOST 8-71, and their modifications according to class N GOST 8-71. Machines of models 53А50, 53А80 are equipped with supports with continuous movement of the cutter (with a slide), and models 53А50Н, 53А80Н - with supports with periodic (step) movement of the cutter. At the Buyer's request, gear hobbing machines can be equipped with a CNC system.

The universal gear hobbing machine is designed for milling cylindrical spur, helical and worm wheels in single and batch production. The cutting of gears is carried out using the method of running in a hob cutter and the workpiece being processed. The machine operates in a closed semi-automatic cycle and an adjustment cycle.

On the basis of the machine, special machines can be manufactured that allow processing wheels with barrel-shaped or conical teeth. Processing is carried out by copying according to a template.

The great versatility of the machines and the high degree of automation ensure that the machines operate in both single-pass and double-pass automatic cycles. With a two-pass automatic cycle, there is an automatic change of processing modes. The semi-automatic machine has a stepless drive of vertical and radial feed.

3 General information about gear shaping machines

and cutting gears using the rolling method

On gear shaping machines, cylindrical wheels of external and internal gearing with straight and helical teeth, blocks of gear wheels, wheels with collars, gear sectors, spline rollers, gear racks, ratchets, etc. are cut. (Fig. 1). These machines are indispensable for cutting blocks of gears, as well as gears with internal gearing.

Based on the location of the spindle, gear shaping machines are divided into vertical and horizontal. Vertical gear shaping machines are most widely used in industry.

Rice. 1. Products manufactured on gear shaping machines

Gear cutting on most models of gear shaping machines is carried out by the rolling method, on some models - by the copying method.

On machines operating according to the rolling-in method

, in the process of gear shaping, the meshing of two cylindrical gears is reproduced (Fig. 2). One of these wheels has teeth equipped with cutting edges and is a cutting tool - a gear cutter, and the other, which does not have teeth, is a blank for the wheel to be cut. The cutter and the workpiece must be rotated in the same way as two gears would rotate if they were in mesh. To do this, the workpiece and the cutter are connected by a rigid kinematic chain with replaceable wheels for adjustment to obtain a product with the required number of teeth.

When chiseling the teeth of wheels with external gearing, the direction of rotation of the cutter is opposite to the direction of rotation of the workpiece, and when chiselling wheels with internal gearing, the direction of their rotation coincides. Therefore, a reversing device is included in the kinematic chain connecting the movement of the cutter and the workpiece.

To carry out cutting, the cutter is given a reciprocating movement along the axis of the part. The cutting process occurs only during the working stroke of the cutter - the downward stroke. During the reverse idle motion of the cutter, the rotation of both it and the workpiece continues. Therefore, the layers of metal to be cut will roll onto the teeth of the cutter. At low feeds, this can cause jamming of the cutter and the workpiece and the emergence of a large friction force acting on the rear edges of the tool teeth and leading to their intensive wear, and

at high feeds – jamming and breakage of the cutter teeth. To avoid this, when the cutter moves upward, the workpiece moves away from it. By the beginning of cutting, when the cutter moves downwards, the workpiece returns to its working position. To start the gear shaping process and obtain teeth with the required height h, the shaper must gradually

foam into the workpiece.

Settings Features

Gear shaping machines can be adjusted to specific operating modes. Their operating principle determines how the basic parameters are set. In order to process a cylindrical element of various designs, the following work is performed:

1. Division and feed gears are selected. The kinematic scheme provides for the possibility of changing wheels, due to which the cylindrical surface is divided into the required number of teeth.
2. The most suitable radial feed cams are selected. Please note that only a certain amount of metal can be removed in one pass.
3. The required rotation speed and stroke number of the cutter are selected. It should be taken into account that the cutting speed and other parameters depend on the type of cutting tool installed. This makes the wear-resistant material better able to withstand high temperatures and friction.

Many indicators are selected using special formulas. All basic values ​​can be taken from the data sheet of the gear shaping machine. The replacement process itself is represented by dismantling and installation of more suitable elements. Please note that this takes quite a lot of time. Therefore, the considered group of gear shaping machines without CNC is used in large-scale production, when settings are performed for the production of a large batch.

The features of the setup determine that it can be carried out by both a master and a technologist. To do this, replacement gears and cams are quickly accessible: often it is enough to remove the protective panel. The work in question can be carried out with the usual set of tools.

Model 5122

Gear shaping machines 5122 are also designed for cutting cylindrical geared circles by rolling in a slotting tool. The units are used in mass and individual production.

Equipment parameters:

• The maximum dividing size of the workpiece being processed is 200 mm.
• Gear module – 5.
• The maximum width of the processed crown is 50 mm.
• The working surface of the table in diameter is 250 mm.
• The nominal value of the cutter is 100 mm.
• Weight – 4.4 tons.
• Overall dimensions – 2/1.45/1.96 m.
• The power of the power plant is 3 liters. With.
• The number of double strokes of the working part in one minute is 200/280/305/400/430/560/615/850.

Scope of application and operating principle

Using gear shaping machines, you can cut a chevron or worm wheel of a spur or helical type. The functionality of the units is expanded when they are equipped with a special device - a disk or finger type cutter, which allows you to cut any type of wheels with internal gearing. At the same time, the disk cutter is multifunctional; by installing it, you can not only process the teeth, but also cut through the internal plane of the part.

Modern gear shaping machines make it possible to accurately form teeth on wheels of a minimum size (up to 12 mm inclusive), while up to 30 modules can be applied using a hob cutter, up to 40 with a disk cutter, and up to 75 with a finger shaper. If the unit is equipped with a reverse motion system, then teeth can be cut even on wheels with a closed chevron angle.

The main working tool of a gear shaping machine is a cutter - a rigidly fixed gear wheel, one side of which is attached to the supporting frame of the machine, and the second is in contact with the workpiece being processed and, using a cutting edge made of a high-hard alloy, forms teeth on it.

Teeth cutting principle

The teeth on the workpieces are cut using rolling technology, and the profile of the protrusions on the cutter may not correspond to the required profile configuration of the part. This makes it possible to cut workpieces with a different number of teeth using the same cutter.

Before starting work, the gear cutting machine is always run-in. The essence of running-in is to select the correct ratio of the teeth of the working tool in relation to the profile of the workpiece. During the running-in process, the part and the cutter each rotate around their own axes, while when cutting the outer wheels, the rotation is multilateral, while the internal wheels are unilateral.

Machining of inner and outer rings

When cutting, the cutter is given not only a rotational, but also a translational movement, due to which the profiled edge of the cutter cuts (chisels) teeth on the edge of the workpiece in contact with it. At the very beginning of cutting, it is impossible to set the gouge to the required depth due to the high resistance of the metal, so the working tool cuts into the workpiece sequentially due to radial feed, thereby increasing the depth of the teeth.

Upon completion of the full cycle of the working stroke, so that the teeth of the cutter and the edge of the part do not rub against each other while turning the wheel to its original position, the work table fixing the workpiece is moved back. There are also units in which the workpiece remains stationary, and the cutter itself moves. to menu

Design Features

Almost all modern gear shaping machines have a vertical layout. The main structural components of the unit are:

Let's consider the kinematic diagram of equipment of this type using the example of a 5M14 machine. It consists of four main chains - main movement, radial feed, rolling and circular feed. An electric drive is responsible for the main feed, the rotational torque from which is transmitted to the spindle through a V-belt transmission and a gearbox.

The 5M14 gear shaping machine is equipped with a gear gearbox, allowing 4 speeds of the working tool. Speed ​​adjustment is performed by changing the position of the gearbox gears. In addition to the main engine, the machine has 3 auxiliary drives, the first of which is responsible for the rapid rotation of the work table, and the rest drive the hydraulic drive and the cooling system pump. Overload protection of drives is provided by built-in thermal relays of class PTI-PT4. to menu

Main technical characteristics

When choosing a machine, special attention is paid to its description. The main technical characteristics are as follows:

1. The wheel can have different diameters. This indicator is selected when setting up the equipment. The limitation is imposed on both the maximum and minimum diametrical size of the workpiece. The main processing parameters depend on this indicator.
2. Indicator of the maximum width of cut teeth. This parameter depends on the type of cutting tool being installed.
3. Range of cut modules.
4. Considering the main assembly of the cutting tool and the possibility of adjustment, we note that the angle of inclination of the teeth can be very different.
5. Table dimensions. This parameter determines how large a workpiece can be processed. The pattern is quite simple: as the size of the table increases, the size of the machine itself and the workpiece increases.
6. Type of installed electric motor. The electrical circuit of the machine determines that rotation is transmitted from the motor through the drive to the executive bodies. There are models on sale that may have a motor with a power of several kilowatts.
7. Equipment dimensions. Examples include machine weight, length and width. Weight is considered an important parameter due to the fact that the most suitable base is created for this parameter.

In addition, we note a CNC gear shaping machine, which belongs to a separate group. This type of equipment can be used for precision milling or rolling.

Mechanism for implementing the automatic cycle of gear shaping machine 514

Diagram of the automatic cycle mechanism of gear shaping machine 514

Purpose of the automatic cycle mechanism

The purpose of this mechanism is that it controls the mechanism for cutting the cutter teeth into the body of the wheel being cut to a set cutting depth. When the required plunge depth is reached, the radial feed is automatically turned off and the counting device is turned on, controlling the number of full spindle revolutions. In addition, after a set number of table revolutions, the mechanism automatically moves the cutter away from the workpiece and turns off the machine.

In the process of cutting teeth, cam K1 moves roller P to the right (Fig. 107), the screw XVIII and caliper connected to it and installs the cutter sequentially in the positions appropriate for cutting. Cam K1 rotates from two mechanisms: a radial feed mechanism and a counting mechanism.

The operation of the radial feed mechanism was described above. The mechanism is turned on by turning lever P2 to the right and the lever is secured with lock F. While turning lever P2, its fork through rod T will engage clutch M2 (engaging worm wheel 40 with shaft XVI). At the same time, the rod T will shift the stop Y, which will lift the pawl C, disengaging it from the ratchet wheel X.

The left end of the lever P1, under the action of the spring P1, will rest on the protrusion of the cam K1, located on its rear side. During its rotation, cam K1 moves roller P and the screw XVIII connected to it to the right, and thus the cutter cuts into the workpiece. Before cutting begins, the cutter is brought manually by handle 4 (see Fig. 105) into contact with the surface of the workpiece. At the moment of completion of the plunge, the left end of the locking lever P1 (see Fig. 106) slides off the protrusion located on the back side of the cam K1, and the spring P1 lifts its right end with the lock and the lever P1 is released. The latter, under the action of the spring P2, turns to the left and with the rod T turns off the clutch M2, retracts the stop Y, freeing the pawl C, which, under the influence of its own weight, lowers and engages with the ratchet X. Cam K1 is now driven by shaft XI, on which the worm sits , rotating table XII with a workpiece.

On the same shaft (see Fig. 106) there is an eccentrically mounted cam K2, which imparts a rocking motion through the rod XIX to sector e (Fig. 107) with a pawl C attached to it. In this case, for each double stroke, the pawl captures one tooth of the ratchet wheel X. At this time, roller P will roll along the cylindrical part of cam K1 and therefore there will be no radial feed.

From the moment the cutter finishes cutting into the full height of the tooth, the process of processing the wheel blank begins, which continues for one revolution of the table with the workpiece. When the processing cycle ends, roller P enters the cavity of cam K1. Screw XVIII, together with the caliper, will move to the left under the action of the spring, disengaging the cutter from engagement with the cut wheel. At the same time, the stop B presses the limit switch KB and stops the machine.

The fast installation rotation of the table is transmitted from a separate electric motor MP (N = 0.5 kW, n = 1440 rpm) through a belt drive 80-180 to shaft XI and a dividing worm gear 1-240 of the table (see Fig. 106).
