Box-type tenoning machine. Tenoning machines for wood

For a long time, when assembling drawers, doors, windows and other frame structures, a “thorn” connection has been used. In order to accurately and quickly obtain such complex elements in wooden structures, a tenoning machine for wood is used.

This equipment is used both in entrepreneurial activity and in large-scale production. It is indispensable in the manufacture of furniture, as well as in house building and woodworking enterprises.

Types of tenoning machines

The tenon cutter is a type of woodworking machine. On the market there are samples of both imported and domestic production. The fixing elements on it can be processed for subsequent connection of products at an angle, as well as for their splicing (dovetail folds are used).

Machines for milling spikes according to their purpose are divided into frame machines and box machines.

In this case, frame units are:

  • unilateral . In one pass, spikes are processed on one side of the workpiece;
  • double-sided automated. The device of the tenoning machine provides for the placement of calipers on two columns and, accordingly, the processing of the workpiece on both sides.

Naturally, the productivity of double-sided tenoning machines is much higher than their counterparts. There are several types of aggregates that stand out in length, while they are 2, 2.5, and 3 meters.

The cutting tools for them are miter saws and milling cutters (disc and end) for processing straight spikes, eyelets on frames and frames different designs from wood.

The formation of box and dovetail spikes is done on specialized machines, mainly in large-scale and mass production. At the same time, two types of dovetail fixation are distinguished: with rounded and sharp corners.

The first category is made on multi-spindle tenoners. Such curly protrusions are processed simultaneously on mating surfaces with modular cutters. It is this connection that guarantees the durability and reliability of the fixing assembly.

In the manufacture of the most complex oval pegs (small studs) and with round shape automatic tenoning machines with numerical control are used.

Specifications

The functions of the operator when working on an automatic machine are reduced to loading and turning over workpieces, starting or stopping the cycle. Important indicators of tenoning units are:

  • the largest size of the peg;
  • smallest thickness;
  • groove height;
  • width;
  • maximum workpiece size;
  • spindle speed;
  • engine power.

In addition to the characteristics for the classification of the machine, the parameters of the cutting tool are indicated: the diameter of the saw, the type and size of the cutter.

Often on large production lines, such equipment is installed to the ceiling. The machines are additionally fixed by clamping devices, where the workpieces are processed with scoring saws, followed by the formation of spikes on the milling calipers.

The feed is smoothly regulated by the variator. To create a high-quality surface of the mating elements, the spindle speed should be about 700 rpm.

Principle of operation

In the formation of pegs, as a rule, a sawing and milling procedure is applied. An appropriate cutting tool is used to obtain the surfaces of the stud joint.

Attention! Whatever the shape of the spikes, the initial operation is the trimming of the workpiece.

For the most common models that use milling in processing, the machines are equipped with four spindles - three milling and one saw. One or more workpieces can be loaded onto the carriage table, while they are set with the edge along the ruler, and with the end face along the stop bar.

The spike is formed as a result of face milling. During the exit of the cutting tool, chips may appear on the edges, therefore, to prevent them, a retaining bar is mounted on the ruler, and some machines also provide for the application of glue to the surface to be treated.

After turning on the feed mechanism, the product is automatically fixed by the side and top hydraulic clamps. The carriage with the workpiece starts moving at a certain speed along two guides relative to the cutting tools.

In this case, during the movement of the carriage, a spike of the desired configuration is formed on the structure, then the device, having reached the stop (limit switch), returns to its original position. Here is the replacement finished product on the workpiece, and the cycle repeats again.

If the machine is double-sided, the process of forming spikes occurs on both sides of the workpiece.

Homemade tenoning machine

Today there are all opportunities for entrepreneurial activity, while many are engaged in the manufacture of furniture, wooden doors and windows, where you cannot do without connecting spikes when assembling the product. And since tenoning machines are not cheap, at first, a home-made unit is quite suitable for obtaining fixing elements.

It is easy to make it on your own, which will save a lot of money during the organization of production. And there are different variants for the manufacture of such machines, where a stationary engine, grinder, electric jigsaw and even an electric drill can serve as the basic element.

Consider the manufacture of a do-it-yourself tenoning machine based on a grinder with a disk cutter in a horizontal position.

As in the factory machine, here, in addition to the engine and cutting tool, there are two component parts:

  • bed;
  • countertop.

The bed must be strong and stable, since this is the base part of the unit, on which a device for fixing the workpiece and a grinder with a cutter are installed. This component of the tenoning machine may vary in design and be made without drawings. For example, it can be made from metal corners, and fix a chipboard sheet on them.

The size of the countertop must correspond to the intended workpiece. It also contains clamps and a control ruler.

The guide beds must be strictly perpendicular to the movement of the tabletop when milling the connecting elements. The quality of the connection of spikes and eyes depends on this.

Machine assembly

On the surface of the table, the exit point of the shaft is determined and a hole of a slightly larger diameter is made. The grinder is fixed with clamps, while making sure that the bolt heads are flush with the plane of the table top.

As a cutting tool, disk cutters are used. In this case, one cutter is used to select the eyelet and two cutting discs, if it is necessary to process the spike. Accordingly, the distance between the cutters is equal to the width of the groove.

Important! In the case of using two disc cutters, the landing on the grinder should be through an adapter with keyways.

With this assembly, the process of milling an eye or a spike occurs due to the movement of the workpiece. To do this, it is fastened with clamps to the tabletop and then manually moves along the guides of the bed to the rotating cutter. In this case, the dimensions of the spike and eye are achieved due to the stops and the thickness of the washer between the disks.

The use of such a home-made tenoning unit makes it possible to obtain proportional spikes and eyes, which significantly increases labor productivity.

Quite a lot has already been written about such tenon cutters, so I do not pretend to originality. But the thing in the workshop is definitely useful. Therefore, having assembled a tenon cutter for a straight box tenon, I decided to talk about it in my blog.

Such tenon cutters are usually made on the basis of milling table or circular saw. But, of course, options are also possible - depending on the invention of the master - on band saw, jigsaw machine, but even on a chainsaw!
I did not become original and made a device for cutting a straight box tenon for my router table (more about it here:).
Sometimes they use bearings and different guides to facilitate sliding, but I decided to do without them. The only condition is that the opposite edges of the table must be parallel. To do this, you can walk on them with a router with an emphasis on the other edge.

The first step is to cut out the base of the future tenon cutter from plywood. The dimensions of this base depend on the table itself - it must be wider than the table by the width of the side stops. I took stops of about 4 cm. The length of the stops should be the same or slightly less than the width of the table - then they will not wedge. I glued all the details of the tenon cutter with carpentry glue and fixed it with self-tapping screws - perhaps redundantly, but I wanted to.

All screw heads are recessed.

To select the correct position of the second stop, we put the workpiece with the first stop installed on the table, resting it (the first stop) against the edge of the table, apply glue to the second stop ...

And having laid a sheet of paper between the second stop and the edge, we fix it (the second stop) in this position with clamps. The gap left by the paper will be ideal for the tenon cutter to move freely along the edges of the table without dangling.

For purely aesthetic reasons, we cut the edge so that the stops are flush with the main part.

The carriage for our tenon cutter is ready

Next, a stop will be installed on this carriage, which can be adjusted and which must always be perpendicular to the direction of movement of the carriage. In order not to check this perpendicularity every time, I made a ledge with the right angles on the edge of the carriage.

On the same ledge, using the M8 bolt, I installed the handle from the adjusting mechanism of the office chair.

The handle is located exactly in the middle between the stops - this is another degree of protection against carriage jamming. The handle is quite grippy and secure. It also sets a safe position for right hand. It is convenient to use it.

The stop is fixed with two M10 bolts with recessed heads and wing nuts. The stop can move along the ledge with the handle in both directions.

It is important that the plane of the stop is perpendicular to the plane of the carriage.

The carriage is made of 18 mm FSF plywood. I'm sure many are now choking - where such a thickness, it's some kind of monster! Well, yes, it could be made thinner, but I like things with excess strength where possible. Here is my feature.
Therefore, the cutter had to buy a special one. All characteristics and articles are visible in the photo.

We insert the pin into the resulting groove. I made it from textolite 6 mm thick.

The device is ready. The design is quite simple, it took longer to tell than to do))

The first run showed that in general the device works, but requires configuration

Careful adjustment requires the height of the cutter and the width of the tenon. After a while it started working.

It is more convenient to process parts in packages - at least two. At the same time, the outer parts have a hard time - a straight cutter mercilessly pulls out of them not just individual fibers, but entire layers. Therefore, the details must be processed, wrapping them on both sides with unnecessary bars.

See what happened to the parts that were external in the package. I don’t know how in magazines and videos they manage to process the details one by one. You can use spiral cutters - maybe this will solve the problem, but they are usually several times more expensive than straight ones.

Therefore, we simply wrap the workpieces on both sides and get an excellent result. Here it is also necessary not to lose sight of which side and in what sequence to process the parts so that they then form into a product.

In general, the result is not bad. These were test bars, but since it turned out well, I decided to finish the job and make a box.

Carved on circular saw drawer bottom


And then another nuance came out - for grinding protruding spikes, a device for cutting a straight box spike should be equipped with a tape grinder or poppet grinding machine or something like that. An eccentric sander does not cope, filling up the edges. Otherwise, I'm happy with the purchase - it works as it should.

Box tenoning machines

Machine construction. Tenoning machines for box dowels are of two types: for producing straight or wedge dowels (ShPK-40) and trapezoidal dovetail dovetails (SHLH-3, SHLH-4) at the ends of blanks.

One-sided tenoning machine for the production of straight and wedge tenons ShPK-40 is designed for processing tenons at one end of the workpiece and can be used in carpentry, construction, furniture and other woodworking industries. The machine allows processing workpieces up to 400 mm wide when forming straight box dowels and up to 110 mm wide when making wedge dowels. It is possible to process simultaneously several workpieces (package) with a total thickness of not more than 100 mm. The length of the blanks must be at least 250 mm. The greatest length of the developed straight spikes is 50 mm, wedge - 10 mm.

A horizontal milling shaft, a lifting table and a hydraulic unit are mounted on a box-shaped frame.

The milling shaft is made in the form of a spindle with replaceable sets of cutters mounted on it. The spindle is mounted on two supports. The right support is provided by two angular contact bearings. The left removable bearing is a radial spherical ball bearing with a hub that includes the end of the spindle. The detachable support arm can be tilted 90°, freeing up an area for tool change at the end.

The spindle is driven by an electric motor, which is mounted on a turntable so that the tension of the toothed transmission belt can be adjusted. Table 5 moves along the frame guides in the vertical direction by a hydraulic cylinder.

The workpiece is installed on the table and based on the lateral left or right guide ruler and the front end stop. The side rails are adjustable and allow you to customize the size of the outer eyelet.

The end stop can be adjusted in the range of 0…50 mm to provide the required tenon length. Fix the workpiece on the table with hydraulic clamps. A casing is installed in the upper part of the machine for removing chips, which is connected to the exhauster network. On the left side of the frame there is a hydraulic panel, on which hydraulic distributors, a safety valve and a throttle 3 are mounted to change the speed of the table.

The hydraulic drive of the machine provides reciprocating movement of the table through the cycle: clamping the workpiece, working stroke of the table with clamped workpieces down at a given feed rate, idling of the table with clamped workpieces up at an increased constant speed, unfastening the workpiece.

The hydrokinematic scheme of the machine is shown in fig. 114. With the electric motor of the hydraulic unit turned on, the oil from the vane pump NP through the strainer F and the distributors P1 and P2 enters the hydraulic tank B of the machine.

In the initial (upper) position, the table is held by oil pressure on the piston of the C1 cylinder. The oil outlet from the hydraulic cylinders C1 and C2 is locked in the middle position of the hydraulic distributors P1 and P2. With the simultaneous activation of the electromagnets and the distributors Pi and P2, the table and clamps occupy their original upper position.

The working stroke of the table is carried out by turning on the electromagnet b of the distributor P2. In this case, the electromagnets and distributors P1 and P2 are turned off - the workpieces are pressed. The pressure in the system rises, the pressure switch RD is activated and the solenoid b of the distributor P1 is turned on - the table is working.

At the end of the working stroke, the table presses the pin of the limit switch, which turns off the electromagnet b of the P1 distributor and simultaneously turns on the electromagnet a of the same distributor. The table begins to move up when the electromagnet b of the distributor P2 is turned on.

When the upper position of the table is reached, the limit switch is activated, which turns off the solenoid b of the hydraulic distributor P2 and turns on the electromagnet a of the hydraulic distributor P2. There is a departure of the clamps, and the workpiece is released. The table is fixed in the upper position, since the oil in the C1 cylinder is locked by the middle position of the P1 hydraulic distributor spool.

In the event of an emergency power outage, the table and clamps are fixed (the table stops, the workpiece is pressed), since the hydraulic valves P1 and P2 are automatically set to the middle position. To remove the workpiece from the cutting zone and detach it, it is necessary to raise the table to its original position by turning on the electromagnet a of the P1 hydraulic distributor and the electromagnet b of the P2 hydraulic distributor.

The cycle is switched on by pressing the "Cycle" button located on the control panel. In the "Setup" mode, you can move the table up and down with a stop in these positions.

The pressure in the system is regulated by the KP safety valve and controlled by the MN pressure gauge. The speed of the working stroke of the table is regulated by the throttle of the flow regulator RP.

Selecting the operating mode. The feed rate in the machine is assigned depending on the type of wood, the width of the workpiece and the length of the tenon. In table. 6 shows the cutting conditions when processing straight box spikes 8 mm wide at a wood moisture content of 10%.

When assigning modes, a short-term overload of the milling shaft electric motor is allowed no more than 25%. When processing wedge spikes of hardwood parts, the feed rate should be no more than 4.5 m / min.

Setting up machines. For processing straight box spikes, a set of 25 cutters is used. The set, fixed on the milling shaft, must have cutters of the same diameter, width B, equal to the width of the eye being produced. The deviation of the width of the fr-ez is allowed no more than 0.03 mm.

When processing wedge spikes, a set of two milling cutters with wedge teeth is used. The cutter teeth must have the same height and identical shape. It is not allowed to install cutters with chipped or blunt teeth on the spindle. The cutters on the quills must be securely fastened with nuts.

Before changing the cutting tool, you must set the switch on the control panel to the “Setup” position. This eliminates the possibility of turning on the milling shaft drive motor.

To replace the tool, unscrew the special nut of the support bracket, move it along the spindle and turn it 90°, providing free access to the tool from the end of the spindle. The new tool is installed in the following order. The side hinged bolts connecting the clamp to the table are moved to the upper position and securely fastened to the upper casing. By pressing the “Start table down” button, the table is set to its lowest position, after which the casing with clamps is tilted 90 °, providing free access to the tool. holding the spindle wrench, unscrew the left nut for fastening the set of cutters.

A set of cutters for a straight box tenon consists of two quills connected to each other by a gear coupling. First, the left quill with 12 cutters is removed, and then the right one with 13 cutters.

When changing tools, the safety rules must be observed. A set of cutters is removed and placed in a special box for its subsequent transportation to the grinding department of the workshop.

Both cutters for processing wedge spikes are installed in extreme positions relative to the spindle and side guide rulers through spacer rings and a bushing. After installing the tool, fix the folding bracket with a special nut. The bracket is equipped with a lock that prevents the drive motor from being turned on, so you should pay attention to the correct interaction of the bracket with the blocking microswitch.

The table is returned to its original upper position by pressing the "Start table up" button. Then set the clamp to the working position. The side guides of the ruler are adjusted depending on the width of the outer eye. The left and right rulers are adjusted so that two paired workpieces with straight spikes can be processed simultaneously. The adjustment of each ruler to the required size from the extreme spike is carried out by the corresponding screw.

The end stop to the required tenon length is adjusted by turning the screw, followed by fixing it with a lock nut.

Hydraulic clamps are fixed on the table with two racks and hinged screws.

The value of the table stroke is determined by the position of the microswitches installed on the frame. To check the correctness of their work, the machine is switched to the “Setting” mode by the mode switch and the movement of the table up and down is practiced.

Rotate the throttle knob to set the desired speed of the stroke. Before starting the machine, an exhauster system for removing chips is turned on.

To improve the quality of milling spikes and prevent chipping when the cutters come out of the wood, an additional support is used - a backing bar or a shield on which the workpiece is installed. During the first pass, spikes are formed at the end of the backing board. The end of the backing board, which constantly interacts with the cutters, wears out quickly, so it should be periodically rearranged or replaced with a new one.

Work on machines. Starting the machine in an automatic cycle is carried out by alternately pressing the buttons for turning on the milling shaft electric motor and the hydraulic pump. The machine is operated by one worker. He takes a pack of boards, puts it on the table and aligns it, pressing it against the guide ruler and the front end stop. After pressing the “Cycle” button, the boards are pressed against the table by an automatically operating clamp, and the table makes a working and reverse move. In the original position of the part. are detached and the machinist, turning them 180°, again bases them in the dowel machine at the other end with the same machine setting. After the second pass, the finished parts are stacked.

Having finished processing a batch of parts, the machine operator proceeds to studding the mating boards, having previously moved the side guide ruler to the thickness of the spike or using the second guide ruler for this.

To avoid marriage, the boards entering the machine should not have wingedness, curvature, non-perpendicularity of the ends to the edges and face. During processing, the quality of the resulting studs is controlled with a tool or visually by trial assembly of the stud joint of paired parts.

The thickness of the stud and the width of the lug are measured with a caliper or other measuring instrument at points located at a distance of 1/4 of the stud length from the bottom of the lug and the end face of the stud. Check all the spikes and lugs of this part.

Tenoning machines for straight tenon according to the classification are divided into unilateral and bilateral. On one-sided machines, in one working cycle, the studs are milled at one end of the workpiece, and on the two-sided, the studs are milled simultaneously at both ends of the workpiece.
Milling of straight spikes in both cases is carried out with a set of disk cutters or a set of cutters in the form of hooks. When using these cutters, the feed of the workpiece to the cutting tool can be carried out in the radial (along the radius of the cutter) or tangential (tangential to the cutting circle) direction.
The technological scheme for processing the spike (Fig. 147) shows that with a radial feed, the bottom of the cavity of the lug is concave with a radius of curvature r and an arrow of curvature

In practice, y does not exceed 1 mm and the concavity does not affect the assembly technology. In this case, one-sided machines with manual feed are used, on which only one workpiece can be processed at a time.
With a tangential feed of the workpiece, the bottom of the cavity is rectilinear (see Fig. 147). In this case, it is possible to mill blanks in batches from one and both ends at the same time. With a radial feed of the workpiece, the movement is intermittent, and with a tangential feed, it is continuous. The kinematics of chip formation is also different.
At present, tenoning machines with radial feed are not available. Previously produced ShP-1 machines are now used only in auxiliary production.

Tangential feed machines are widely used. The Moscow plant of woodworking machines and automatic lines mass-produces a single-sided tenoning machine ShPA-40 (Fig. 148, a). The main components of the machine are: a cast-iron bed 1, on which a horizontal milling shaft 2 is mounted, driven by an electric motor 6 through a V-belt and a cast-iron movable table 5 with two hydraulic membrane clamps 7 for fixing workpieces during their milling. The bed has vertical guides for the table.
The lower part of the table is rigidly attached to the rod of the hydraulic cylinder 4, which raises the table vertically relative to the milling shaft. On the upper plane of the table, a movable ruler 8 is fixed, to which the workpieces are pressed. The ruler on the table is installed perpendicular to the axis of the milling shaft, and along the axis it can move when adjusted to the desired width of the shoulder of the first tenon.
Clamps are placed on a horizontal crossbar, which is attached to the table through racks. This design allows them to move in horizontal and vertical planes and be set depending on the width and thickness of the workpiece being processed. Workplace clamp is fixed with special clamping devices. A guard 3 is installed on the milling shaft. It is mounted on three bearings, of which the third is a terminal, removable one. This allows you to install disc cutters on a horizontal shaft.
On fig. 148, 6 shows the hydraulic circuit of the machine. Oil from tank 1 through filter 2 is supplied by pump 3 to the pressure line. The pressure line is connected by oil pipelines to the hydraulic cylinders of the clamps 11, the control valve 5, the reversing valve 5 and the safety valve 4. At the moment the carriage is loaded with workpieces, there is no oil pressure in the pressure line, since the upper cavity of the safety valve is connected to the drain valve through the unloading valve 9 and the control valve 8. highway.
The table is fed by turning the handle of the control valve 8 clockwise. This way, the upper cavity of the spool 5 and the spool 9 is connected to the pressure line, and the lower cavity of the spool 5 is connected to the drain. In the pressure line
the pressure rises to the value set on the valve 4, the pressure value is shown by the pressure gauge 10. At this time, the clamping cylinders 11 are activated, and the clamps are fixed on the workpiece table. At the same time, the spool piston 5 lowers under the action of oil pressure, connecting the lower cavity of the hydraulic cylinder 12 with the pressure line, and the upper cavity with the drain line. The rod of the hydraulic cylinder together with the table and the fixed workpieces rises up into the cutting zone of the cutters. In the extreme upper position of the table, the rod 13 attached to the table turns the control valve 8 to its original position. After the corresponding movement of the spool pistons, the oil from the line enters the upper cavity of the hydraulic cylinder 12, and the table begins to move down. The safety valve at this time maintains pressure, since in the unloading spool 9, under the action of a spring, the piston is in the upper position, and the tube connecting the safety valve to this spool is insulated. When the table takes the lower initial position, the rod 13 acts on the piston of the spool 9, and it moves to the extreme position, at which it connects the safety valve to the drain line. The pressure in the network drops, the pistons of the clamping hydraulic cylinders rise under the action of the springs, releasing the workpiece from clamping, and the cycle repeats. The feed rate is controlled by the throttle 5 and 7, and the idle speed does not change.

The domestic industry also produces double-sided tenoning box machines Sh2PA and Sh2PA-2. The latest model is a variation or modification of the Sh2PA machine. It differs only in an elongated bed, which allows you to process longer workpieces. This machine is the most modern, through-type, equipped with a conveyor feed mechanism and magazine loading, it is highly productive and can be used in the mass production of box parts and built into automatic lines.
The design of this machine provides for the basing of blanks on guide traverses only with a wide face. Spiking is performed with the vertical movement of the milling spindles from top to bottom, the workpiece stopped and the conveyor moving continuously.
On fig. 149 shown technology system machine Sh2PA. The workpiece 1 from the store 2 pushers 6 (conveyor chains 4) moves along the base beams 3. In the process of processing with saw blades 7, the workpieces are continuously pressed against the base planes by a conveyor clamp 5. The conveyor chain is equipped with hinged pushers 6. To turn on and off the pushers serve as guide lines 9, on which the pushers 6 rely on the shank and slide along them when the chains move. After the shank leaves the guide, the pusher overturns, leaving the workpiece 8 at rest. When the workpiece is stationary, the support 10 with a set of cutters 11 moves vertically along the guides 12. In the process of lowering the milling tool, milling of the spikes occurs. The working and idle movement of the caliper 10 is transmitted from the drive shaft 13 by a helical gear 14.
The kinematic diagram of the Sh2PA-2 machine is shown in fig. 150. The conveyor feed mechanism is driven by an electric motor 1 through cylindrical gears and a worm gear 2. The vertical movement of the milling calipers is carried out using lever mechanisms 3 associated with cylindrical cams 4. The cams 4 along the generatrix of the cylinder have a profile groove into which the lever finger enters systems. The profile groove of the cam is made in such a way that, together with the levers, it copies the movement of the caliper up and down.
The profiled cam is driven by the main drive shaft by the chain conveyor 4a.
The milling head returns to its initial (upper) position with the same cam and two extension springs 5, mounted on the head support.

The calipers are equipped with chip collectors, which are connected to the pneumatic conveying system. Pressing devices 13 and 11 (right and left), located above the conveyor chains 17, are used to press the workpieces against the conveyor guides. . The saw spindle 10 is an MD motor, at the end of which a saw is fixed. The calipers of these spindles are equipped with mechanisms for vertical 20 and horizontal 21 movement. The spindle is set according to the graduated scale.
Milling spindle 6 is a horizontal shaft mounted on three ball bearings to the caliper, which moves along the vertical guides of the pedestal.
The drive of the milling caliper is from the electric motor 7 through the V-belt transmission 8. The electric motor is mounted on a swinging under-engine plate. From the store 22, the workpieces are captured by the stops 16 of the conveyor chains 17 and fed to the cutting heads.
Saw supports 19 are installed first along the way, forming the workpiece exactly along the length. Then the workpiece is fed into the zone of action of the milling spindles 6.
In the milling zone, the workpiece stops, as the pushing cam 16 of the chain comes off the guide 23 and rotates around the hinge axis, leaving the zone of engagement with the workpiece. At this moment, the milling spindles are lowered and the spikes are cut, then the spindles are raised to their original position and at this moment another workpiece comes up, pushes out the processed one, and itself stops in the cutting zone. Then the cycle repeats. The place where the workpiece stops in the milling zone is regulated by mechanism 18.
The movable pedestal (right) moves along the frame from an electric motor 14 with a power of 0.5 kW, through a single-thread worm gear 15 and a spur gear connected to a rack 23, mounted on the side wall of the machine frame. Precise installation of the right pedestal and cutting tools along the length of the part is carried out by handle 24, brought out to the front of the machine; the handle shaft is connected to the gear worm through a friction clutch.
