Lathe 1a62: technical specifications, diagrams, passport

The 1A62 screw-cutting lathe is one of the successors of the famous DIP-200 family, the first machines of which were manufactured in 1932 at the Moscow Machine Tool Manufacturing Plant. Its predecessor was 1D62, which changed the name DIP-200 to a new alphanumeric designation developed by ENIMS in 1937.

The 1D62 went into production in 1937 and was produced for eleven years. In 1948, it was replaced by the model 1A62 lathe, which had improved performance characteristics, as well as a modernized control system and improved ergonomics. It was produced for eight years - until 1956. It was replaced in the production line by the famous 1K62, which was produced for 18 years.

Purpose and scope

The technical characteristics of the 1A62 screw-cutting lathe will allow you to perform almost the entire traditional range of turning operations: turning and boring surfaces with different generatrices, thread cutting with cutters and threading tools, processing of end surfaces, as well as drilling, countersinking, and reaming.

1A62 is used for semi-finishing and finishing processing of various metals and alloys for single and small-scale production. The main consumers of this machine are tool production and repair departments of energy, metallurgy, automotive, mechanical engineering, mining and agricultural enterprises. In the fifties of the last century, this was one of the most popular lathes of this size, and it is still used in small industries and by individuals.

Main purpose of the machine

Photo of the design of the 1A62 lathe

The 1A62 lathe has become a worthy replacement for the outdated 1D62 equipment and its improved model 1D62m. The main function and advantage of the 1a62g machine was the ability to process workpieces and cut threads for the manufacture of parts.

A screw lathe is capable of performing various functions and operations, or, more precisely, producing conical, shaped and cylindrical parts of different sizes and parameters.

When creating the machine, the following changes were made that became the main characteristics of the equipment:

The number "1" indicates a special group that houses lathes.
The letter “A” shows the generation and model of the machine.
The number “6” confirms that the lathe belongs to the group of screw cutters.
The number “2” helps to determine exactly what the height of the center is above the machine itself, and in the 1a62g model it will be approximately 215–220 mm.

The main parameter of the workpiece or element is the diameter and dimensions. That is, the distance between the bed and the workpiece should not be more than 0.4 cm. An important indicator is the length of the workpiece that is undergoing the processing process. The length is determined using the distance that is between the right headstock and the spindle in front. This length is not the limit, because in the 1a62 machine it can reach approximately 100–150 centimeters.

Model specifics and technical characteristics

Compared to the previous model, which was produced without significant changes for more than ten years, the 1A62 screw-cutting lathe has had the following technical characteristics improved:

the spindle speed increased by 300 rpm (up to 1200), and the number of steps increased to 21 for forward rotation and to 12 for reverse rotation;
a 7 kilowatt electric motor is installed;
instead of a flat main drive belt, a V-belt drive is used;
a more powerful friction clutch is used;
a reverse mechanism is installed to change the feed direction during thread cutting;
the tailstock design has been strengthened;
the quill diameter has been increased to 70 mm;
an electric pump was added to supply coolant from a reservoir located in the rear leg;
The irrigation lubrication system was replaced with a circulation one.

The controls also underwent significant changes, which significantly increased the convenience of the machine operator:

To set the spindle speed, three handles are used: one circular (with a dial with divisions) and two positional;
Below the caliper there is a longitudinal feed dial;
New quick-acting rotary tool holder allows one-handed positioning to any angle;
The gearbox has been modernized for ease of control (the number of handles has been reduced).

Organization of machine control

The control of the 1A62 machine is completely manual, so all processing controls are located directly on its main components and assemblies. On the front part of the headstock at the top there are handles for switching operating modes of the gearbox, and just below there are handles for the feed box. Under the gearbox there are three buttons for turning on and off the lighting of the working area, the general power supply of the machine and the electric pump of the coolant system. To the right of the feed box is a push-button block for turning the main engine on and off.

Below the caliper on the apron there are control handles and a handwheel for manual movement of the caliper. On the support itself there are handles for moving and fixing the tool holder. The tailstock is equipped with a handwheel for moving the quill and a handle for fixing it.

Caliper and cutting slide

The support serves for longitudinal and transverse feeding of the cutting tool; a turning tool is attached to its upper part. The main assembly units in its composition are:

lower slide;
Bottom part;
turning part;
cutter slide with tool holder.

The movement of the lower slide is carried out parallel to the axis of the machine and is done either manually or from the lead screw through the apron drive. The lower part is located on the upper guides of the lower slide. Its lateral movement is carried out either manually or from the apron drive. The rotating part of the caliper can rotate left and right at an angle of 45°. The cutting slide moves manually along the longitudinal guides of the middle part.

To control the mechanical movements of the caliper components, four rotary handles located on the apron are used. These controls enable and disable the following types of movements:

caliper reverse;
mechanical movement;
longitudinal or transverse feed;
lead screw nut.

For manual control of the support mechanisms, use the handwheel for manual movement of the carriage, located on the apron of the machine, as well as three handles on the support itself, which perform the following functions:

transverse positioning of the caliper;
fixing the tool holder;
movement of the cutting slide.

The types of threads and feeds transmitted to the apron mechanism are adjusted by the controls located on the feed box.

Machine spindle assembly

The spindle assembly of the 1A62 machine is located in the headstock and includes, in addition to the spindle itself, a gearbox, which is used to change its speed and direction, as well as a gearbox that supplies the required type of feed and a given rotation speed to the machine support. The gearbox receives rotation from the main electric motor of the machine via a belt drive.

Machine diagram 1A62. Screw-cutting lathe. Kinematic

A kinematic diagram is a graphical diagram of the display of working units and blocks of a structure mechanism. The basic kinematic diagram shows the sequence of transmission of motion from the engine through the intermediate mechanism to the working parts of the product and their relationship. Kinematic diagrams specifically depict only those elements of the assembly structure that take part in the transmission of motion, these include intermediate gears, running rods and clamps, shafts, drive pulleys, couplings, etc. The design of any assembly mechanism that has moving parts is drawn in in the form of graphics on the diagram with solid lines alternating with dotted lines, respectively marking each element with numbers and subsequent decoding. There are spatial kinematic diagrams of mechanisms, which are usually depicted in the form of expanded diagrams. They are obtained by combining all axes in one plane and then projecting them onto the plane. Such diagrams make it possible to understand the sequence of motion transmission. On a kinematic diagram it is possible to display individual elements of other types of circuits that directly affect its operation, for example, electrical ones. The kinematic diagram begins to be read from the engine, which is the source of movement of all parts of the mechanism. By installing each element of the kinematic chain shown in the diagram sequentially according to the symbols, its purpose and the nature of the transmission of motion are revealed.

Operating rules

Compliance with operating rules and routine maintenance guarantee the operability and stability of the performance characteristics of the 1A62 screw-cutting lathe during periods between scheduled repairs. Caring for equipment includes both maintaining cleanliness and order directly on the machine and in the working area of the machine operator, as well as monitoring the condition of its components and assemblies. In addition, it is necessary to carry out the regulated checks and activities provided for in the “Care and Maintenance Manual” of this machine.

After the end of the work shift, the machine operator must disconnect it from the power supply, remove tools, fixtures and equipment from the machine, clean its shavings and conduct an external visual inspection of the mechanisms to determine their serviceability. It is also necessary to check the condition of grounding and protective elements: fences, casings and screens.

Before starting a work shift, visual inspection is carried out in the same order. After which it is necessary to check the oil levels in all mechanisms of the machine and only then check the machine at idle speed.

The lubrication system of moving parts of the machine requires special control. The Manual lists control and technical measures that must be performed at the beginning of each shift to ensure that all moving mechanisms of the machine are lubricated. The lubrication system of the 1A62 screw-cutting lathe uses one type of industrial lubricant - machine oil “L” (according to modern classification - industrial oil I-30A).

Oil check

Checking and filling oil into the main components and units of the machine is carried out in the following order:

Gearbox. The oil level is checked using the indicator on the neck (the norm is the upper level). Before starting work, it is necessary to clean the plate filter by turning the special handle located on the box body. The timing of oil changes is regulated. After starting the machine, it should be changed the first time after ten days, the second time after 20. Then the oil is changed every 35-40 days.
Gearbox. Oil is poured to the upper level of the oil indicator. The frequency of oil changes is the same as for the gearbox.
Apron. To lubricate the worm gear, oil must be poured through the hole in the flange to its bottom edge.

Caliper. There are nine oil nipples on the bottom and top of the caliper that lubricate all moving parts of the caliper. Oil must be added to them every shift. In addition, each shift it is necessary to lubricate the guides of the upper part.
Tailstock. Lubrication of the quill, screw and bearing is carried out by two oil nipples, which must be filled with oil every shift.
Guitar. The body of the guitar has a reservoir for oil, which is poured into it up to the level of the oil indicator. The oil change intervals are the same as for the gearbox.
Lead screw. Before starting a work shift, it must be lubricated with machine oil along its entire length. To lubricate the lead screw supports, as well as the roller supports, three oil nipples are provided, which must be filled with oil every shift. The vertical roller bearing receives lubrication through a separate oiler, to which oil is added once a week.

Machine lubrication and cooling of the processing area

The most important components of the machine, such as spindle supports, headstock elements, etc., are lubricated using a special system - in automatic mode. Lubrication of the remaining rubbing elements occurs at the moment when the elements of the gear joints begin to rotate, which simply spray the lubricant around themselves.

Lathe 1V62G in the production workshop

The design of the machine provides several points through which lubricant is supplied to its rubbing elements. There are such points at:

equipment frame (lubricant is supplied here through rack and pinion gears);
an apron (for this purpose, a special hole is provided in its design);
carriage (separate spool).

In order to use the correct composition to lubricate the unit components, it is necessary to select it according to the table available in the user manual. The same table contains information about the norms for refilling such a composition and the frequency of its replacement.

The coolant necessary to protect the processing zone from overheating is supplied to it through a special pump (X14-22M), which is mounted on one of the machine stands. This pump can pump up to 32 liters of coolant per minute. In addition, the unit’s cooling system has a container that can hold 25 liters of coolant.

Workspace dimensions

The processing space of metal-cutting equipment depends on the type, layout and geometric dimensions of the machine. Its dimensions limit the maximum dimensions of the workpiece that can be placed in the working area of the machine. In addition to the technical parameters of the equipment, these limitations also depend on the shape of the part and the location of the machined surfaces on it. For horizontal lathes, the workspace is usually divided into two types: for shaft-type parts and for disk-type parts.

The 1A62 lathe has a traditional layout and is classified as universal. For it, the maximum dimensions of a “shaft” type part are 220 mm in diameter and 1400 mm in length. A disc type part can have the following dimensions: 400 mm in diameter and 100 mm in height. Overall dimensions are not the only limitations when performing turning operations and are directly related to the weight of the workpiece. Thus, the maximum weight of the product when turning in the chuck of a lathe is 500 kg, and between centers - 1500 kg.

Characteristics of parts

Spindle

Necessary in order to fix the part being used. A moment passes through the built-in gearbox, which rotates from the power plant of the machine itself.

Spindle parameters:

Spindle of lathe 1A62

The diameter and size of the through mold will be 36 mm.
The permissible bar size is no higher than 38 mm, since it passes through this spindle.
There are several stages of rotation (for direct transmission - 21, and for reverse rotation - about 12).

There is an indicator that determines how much the spindle head rotates. For a straight line, it varies from 11.5 to 1200 revolutions per minute. In case of reverse rotation, the value will be 18-1500 rpm.

Caliper

It is located so that the cutter moves under the workpiece. It is he who determines the operation of the machine, because the accuracy and quality of manufacturing parts depends on it.

The caliper parameters are:

Lathe support 1A62

The longitudinal carriage is shifted somewhere by 65.9–140 centimeters.
The underground carriage moves up to 28 centimeters as much as possible.
It has several gear stages, transverse and longitudinal, the diameters of which will be 35 centimeters.
There are several values for gears (longitudinal 0.08–1.59 revolutions per minute, transverse from 0.027 to 0.522 revolutions per minute).
The set thread parameters are 19 for threaded threads and 20 for inch threads. Range and measurements of steps from 1–

Cutting slide

Cutting slide of lathe 1A62

They are necessary so that the cutting head moves evenly and enters the thread. They influence the quality of operations and the production of the parts themselves. In order for the cutting slide to move, it is enough to press the handwheels and levers, which are evenly located on the machine.

Cutting slide parameters:

The greatest displacement will be approximately 113 millimeters.
The division will be exactly 0.05 millimeters.
Allowable rotation angle is up to 90 degrees.
The cross-section of the cutter holder is allowed to be exactly 25*25.

Tailstock

This part is necessary to ensure that the workpiece is stably fixed. Special mechanisms have also been added that help fix the installed cone related to the center of the spindle head. The turning head moves only along the axis of the installed part.

Tailstock parameters:

The diameter and size of the quill is approximately 70 millimeters.
The holes are installed - Morse 4.
The maximum allowed displacement of the quill is 150 millimeters.
The division will be about 0.1.

Manufacturer information

The 1A62 screw-cutting lathe was produced from 1948 to 1956 at the Moscow Machine Tool Plant named after. A.I. Efremova. Before the revolution, this enterprise belonged to the Bromley brothers and was engaged in the production of various metal products. The plant was nationalized in 1918, and four years later, at the request of the labor collective, it was renamed “Red Proletarian”. Along with the new name, the company received a new specialization: the production of machines for metal and woodworking. The plant began reconstruction and construction of new production facilities. And in 1923, the first turning equipment was produced - machines of the TN series of three standard sizes.

The key year for the “Red Proletary” was 1930, when the design of a more powerful standardized machine called DIP (“Let's catch up and overtake”) began. Just two years later the first machine was manufactured and tested, and by the end of 1932 the company produced the first 25 DIP-200. The next year, the company was already producing 300 machines per month, and in 1934 it began producing larger-sized DIPs with indices 300, 400, 500. At the end of the thirties, DIP-200, in accordance with the newly adopted ENIMS classification, received a new designation - 1D62. During the war, “Red Proletary” produced machine tools (including those specialized for the needs of the defense industry) and produced artillery shells.

After the war, “Red Proletary” not only produced new types of lathes, but also designed them for other factories, thus becoming the leading enterprise in the industry for turning equipment. In 1948, the plant began production of the 1A62 machine, which replaced the legendary DIP-200, and the following year mastered their mass production. In 1951 the enterprise was named after A.I. Efremov - Minister of Machine Tool Industry of the USSR in 1941-1949. In 1951, a prototype of the now famous 1K62 was created. Two years later, this model went into production and was produced until 1971. In total, more than two hundred thousand of these machines were produced during this period. In the sixties, the company mastered the production of specialized machines and CNC turning equipment.

Since 1971, “Red Proletary” began producing 16K20 machines, and two years later began mass production of them, and in various configurations: with copiers, indication, CNC, etc. In the seventies, the plant had the largest production volumes in its entire history and supplied machine tools not only to the CMEA countries, but also to foreign countries. Since 1983, the company began mass production of CNC machines. At the same time, the plant stopped production of 16K20 machines and switched to production of the MK6056 screw-cutting lathe.

In the early 90s, the company faced difficult times. First, the demand for CNC machines fell almost to zero, then for universal machines, and by the mid-90s, “Red Proletary” produces only a few hundred machines a year. 1999 - the plant moved to a new production site, but with only part of the previous equipment.

Over the next ten years, the plant made an effort to regain at least part of the domestic market, which during this time was filled with foreign products, but in general its efforts were not crowned with success. In 2011, the company stopped producing machine tools, and its new owners announced the leasing of production and office space as its main activity. In 2016, it was announced that the production of turning equipment (including CNC ones) would be resumed, but the plant has not yet recorded any significant success in this matter.

What are the main differences between the 1a62 model?

Before the manufacture of the 1a62g machine, there were other models, however, in the new model of the machine more functions and operations are available. Model 1a62 differs from the early release of model 1D62M in the following available functions:

The maximum spindle speed has been increased to approximately 1200 rpm.
Forward and reverse speeds are available.
The power and strength of the electric motor is maximally improved to 7 kW.
The transmission is proportionally replaced by a V-belt instead of the standard flat belt.
The speed and number of revolutions can be easily set using three knobs.
The front spindle is located in a special double-row bearing, which is adjustable.
To prevent the gearbox and other mechanisms from becoming dirty, the groove is closed with a special device that helps improve lubrication.
The operation of the tailstock has been improved, and thanks to this, the production quality is at the highest level.
A dial is installed on a special apron, which stabilizes the longitudinal feed and improves the quality of its functionality.
The gearbox consistently allows direct engagement, thanks to which cutting is carried out accurately and with virtually no mistakes.
The fixed stop is strengthened much more powerfully and strongly, that is, the likelihood of damage and breakage is low.
A cooler is installed at the rear of the machine, which cools the equipment and improves the quality of carving and overall production.

There is also a special groove for the fuse on the machine, which does not allow the cartridge to fall off even if the equipment itself stops.

Caliper and cutting slide 1A62

The 1A62 caliper, like similar units of lathes of other models, is responsible for the movement of the cutting tool relative to the workpiece. The characteristics of this element of the machine directly affect the accuracy of technological operations, as well as the functionality of the equipment.

The 1A62 lathe support has the following technical capabilities:

the longitudinal carriage moves at 650, 900 and 1400 mm, the transverse carriage moves at a distance of up to 280 mm;
number of stages of longitudinal and transverse feeds – 35;
feeds can be made within the following limits: longitudinal – 0.082–1.59 mm/rev, transverse – 0.027–0.522 mm/rev;
number of thread parameters to be cut: metric – 19 (pitch from 1 to 12 mm), inch – 20 (pitch – 2–24 threads/inch), modular – 10 (pitch – 0.5–3 modules), pitch – 24 (pitch – 7–95).

The cutting slide of the 1A62 lathe, which serves to more accurately move the cutting head, is controlled by several flywheels and control levers. This allows you to achieve the following operating characteristics of this unit:

maximum movement value – 113 mm;
in accordance with one division of the dial, the slide moves by 0.05 mm;
the maximum angle through which this unit can be rotated is 900, while the rotation scale division value is 10;
maximum cross-section of the cutting tool holder – 25x25 mm;
the number of turning tools that can be simultaneously installed in the tool holder is 4.

It should be noted that the cutting slide of the 1A62 lathe is mechanically driven.

Machine spindle assembly

The spindle assembly of the 1A62 lathe is responsible for fixing the workpiece during its processing, as well as for transmitting rotational motion to it from the main drive of the device.

We list the characteristics of this unit:

through hole diameter – 38 mm;
the maximum diameter of the rod inserted into the spindle assembly is 36 mm;
rotation speed: forward – 11.5–1200 rpm, reverse – 18–1520 rpm;
number of settable rotation speeds: forward – 21, reverse – 12.

The internal Morse seat cone in the spindle assembly of the 1A62 lathe has an M5 category.

Design Features

The design features of 1K62 include the versatility of its functionality and well-organized workspace. The ease of setting up the operating modes of the machine is especially noted.

The increased rigidity of all its working units is ensured by the use of heavy-duty bearings in the design. Due to the significant drive power on the 1K62, it is possible to process workpieces that have undergone long-term hardening.

Please note: The design of the bed provides the ability to change the position of the rear beam, allowing you to grind cone-shaped parts. The beam itself is connected to the lower plane of the caliper with a special lock, which expands the range of drilling operations

The main structural components of this product include:

The beam itself is connected to the lower plane of the support with a special lock, which expands the range of drilling operations. The main structural components of this product include:

A bed with two cabinets located at the edges.
Two headstocks (front and rear placement).
Caliper with tool holder and apron mechanism.
Gearbox (Gearbox).

Let us next consider the organization of the workplace.

Workspace dimensions

The characteristics of the 1K62 workplace are as follows:

the height of the frame with superstructures is one and a half meters;
the total length of the base is from 2.5 to 3.5 meters (with a width of 1.2 meters);
the permissible size of the part placed above the support is up to 22.4 cm, and above the bed - up to 43.5 cm
permissible incisal section - within 2.5 cm;
the maximum size of the blank fixed during processing is within the range from 75 cm to 150 cm;
through size (diameter) of the shaft – 5.5 cm;
free movement of the working carriage – up to 1330 mm.

Under certain operating conditions of machine tool equipment (when fixing a workpiece in a chuck, in particular), the weight of the processed blank can reach 300 kg. When installing workpieces in a centered position, its weight can reach 1300 kg.

Headstock and tailstock

The main purpose of the headstock is to provide the specified parameters for shaft rotation in various operating modes when performing the entire range of work operations. Switching elements for replaceable gearbox gears are also located here. The mechanisms located in it allow:

make threads with a pitch that is a multiple of 4 and 16 units; in this case, the gear ratio increases by 8 and 32 times, respectively;
provide right and left cutting;
prepare threads in multi-start mode (from 2 to 60 starts).

Headstock and tailstock

When the machine is operating, the feed from the main engine is transmitted to the driven pulley, and then, through a complex system of couplings and blocks, to the headstock with the spindle. The movement is then transmitted to the bit shaft and the feed mechanism. The rolling bearings of the assembly shafts can be lubricated either by splashing or by force. The design of the model includes a special oil pump.

The tailstock of the 1K62 unit can move along the frame guide and is equipped with a plate. The retractable quill moves using a screw pair and a flywheel. Its extension is fixed with a handle. The headstock body itself can move relative to the plate in the transverse direction. If necessary, the headstock can also be fixed to the bed. Sometimes a special tool is installed in the quill socket, designed for processing holes.
