Illustration and Description Electronic Inverter Control Unit General Purpose AC Micro Drive from “Delta Electronics”. The VFD-S drive is famous for its low noise carrier frequency feature and easy to use keypad. The digital keypad comes in two parts; the display panel and keypad. The display provides the parameter display and shows operation status of the AC drive. The keypad provides programming interface between the user and the AC drive.

Indexing Operation The indexing facility is useful for fluted columns, clock faces and accurate hole positioning. The indexing pulley has 24 positions (15°) indexing using the supplied index pin (F). Figure 09 1-24 index positions Figure 10 Open the access panel, turn the headstock wheel until the pre-drilled hole in the headstock lines up with one of the 24 pre-drilled hole positions on the index pulley.
Removing Drive/Live Centres To remove the Drive Centre (A), locate the push rod (C), while holding the tool insert the push rod (C) through the centre hole of the headstock wheel and push the drive centre out. (See figs 15-16-17) Repeat the procedure for the Live Centre in the tailstock.
Changing the Belt Speed Tighten the lift and shift handle to hold the motor plate in position. Replace the access panel (A) and tighten the caphead screw (B) and close the motor access door (C). Figure 21 C Reconnect the machine to the mains supply. Give the lathe a little ‘burst’ to check it all runs smoothly. When you are satisfied, remove any tools you may have been using; stow carefully away, the lathe is now ready to be used again.
Maintenance Daily after use Monthly •Clean wood shavings away from the lathe bed and tool rest. •Check the tension of the belt and adjust, (See pages 11 & 12 for Changing the Belt Speed). •Smear a light coat of wax (Protec Tool Wax Polish, Order no. 211835 ) over the lathe bed to allow the Banjo and Tailstock to run more smoothly over the bed and to prevent corrosion. •Check any build up of wood shaving on the motor and spindle pulley’s and clean if necessarily.
