Mfg. Since 10/09 SAFETY SB1363-64/SB1367-68 Understanding Risks of Machinery Operating all machinery and machining equipment can be dangerous or relatively safe depending on how it is installed and maintained, and the operator's experience, common sense, risk awareness, working conditions, and use of personal protective equipment (safety glasses, respirators, etc.). The owner of this machinery or equipment is ultimately responsible for its safe use.
SB1363-64/SB1367-68 SAFETY Personal Protective Equipment: Operating or servicing this item may expose the user to flying debris, dust, smoke, dangerous chemicals, or loud noises. These hazards can result in eye injury, blindness, longterm respiratory damage, poisoning, cancer, reproductive harm or hearing loss. Reduce your risks from these hazards by wearing approved eye protection, respirator, gloves, or hearing protection.
Mfg. Since 10/09 P R E P A R AT I O N SB1363-64/SB1367-68 Preparation Overview Inventory The purpose of the preparation section is to help you prepare your rotary table for operation. The list below outlines the basic process. Specific steps for each of these points will be covered in detail later in this section. This item was carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport. If you discover any damage, please immediately call Customer Service at (360) 734-1540 for advice.
SB1363-64/SB1367-68 P R E P A R AT I O N Cleaning & Protecting The unpainted surfaces are coated at the factory with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.The benefit of this rust preventative is that it works very well. The downside is that it can be time-consuming to thoroughly remove. Be patient and do a careful job when cleaning and removing the rust preventative.
Mfg. Since 10/09 P R E P A R AT I O N Installation Before installing the rotary table, make sure that the spindle centerline is properly aligned or "trammed" with the mill table. Also, remove any burrs or scratches from the mating surfaces of the rotary and mill table by "stoning" them, then thoroughly wipe them clean and dry (refer to the Surface Care section on Page 16 for detailed instructions).
SB1363-64/SB1367-68 P R E P A R AT I O N Vertical Installation Compare the center to center distance between the mill table T-slots to the vertical mounting holes on the rotary table foot (see Figure 4). If the mounting holes do not intersect the mill table T-slots with sufficient space for T-bolts, use step blocks and clamps in place of one of the T-bolts. Mfg. Since 10/09 3. Place the rotary table on the mill table so that you can use the clamping hardware to secure it in the next step. 4.
Mfg. Since 10/09 P R E P A R AT I O N Horizontal Installation Alignment Two methods are described below for aligning the mill spindle and rotary table centerlines when the rotary table is mounted horizontally. To use a test indicator to align the rotary table: 1. DISCONNECT MILL FROM POWER! 2.
SB1363-64/SB1367-68 7. P R E P A R AT I O N Repeat the above steps for the mill table Y-axis. Note: Use the pattern illustrated in Figure 6 to aid in positioning the edge finder for the above procedure. 2 5 6 3 4 1 Figure 6. Pattern of positioning the edge finder to the rotary table spindle bore. Vertical Installation Alignment Mfg. Since 10/09 4. Repeat Step 3 until the entire rotary table surface is correctly aligned with the mill spindle.
Mfg. Since 10/09 O P E R AT I O N SB1363-64/SB1367-68 C. Vernier Scale: Displays the amount of table rotation with a resolution of 10" (ten arc seconds). D. Rotation Scale: Displays the table position in whole degrees. To reduce the risk of serious injury when using this equipment, read and understand this entire manual before beginning any operations.
SB1363-64/SB1367-68 O P E R AT I O N Aligning Handwheel & Vernier Scales The handwheel scales can be easily aligned with each other and adjusted for easy viewing. Tools Needed Qty Hex Wrench 5mm. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 To align and adjust the handwheel and vernier scales: 1. Loosen the two set screws on the vernier scale (see Figure 9), rotate the vernier scale so that it is in a convenient viewing position, the re-tighten the set screws. Handwheel Scale Set Screw 3.
Mfg. Since 10/09 Operational Examples 2. Slowly continue to turn the handwheel until the 32' mark on the handwheel scale aligns with the 0° mark on the vernier scale (see the illustrated example in Figure 11). Use your rotary table and mill to follow along with the operational examples below to better understand how to use the rotary table. Note: Figure 11 may not agree with the layout of the scales on your model. However, the use of these scales as instructed here is the same.
SB1363-64/SB1367-68 Mfg. Since 10/09 O P E R AT I O N Tip: When using the rotary table to machine several locations or with a complicated pattern, make a drawing with measurement details to help visualize the operation. This will reduce the risk of making errors during the operation. To make five evenly spaced holes: 1. Use the handwheel to rotate the rotary table to the 0° mark on the rotation scale, then tighten both table locks.
Mfg. Since 10/09 O P E R AT I O N SB1363-64/SB1367-68 4. With the end mill continuing to cut, turn the rotary table handwheel clockwise 23 full turns (92°), using care not to pass the handwheel scale 0° mark on the last turn. 6. Make a 0.083" deep hole, then with the end mill continuing to cut, turn the rotary table handwheel clockwise 23 full turns to begin the second 92° slot. 5.
SB1363-64/SB1367-68 M A IN T E N A N C E Mfg. Since 10/09 Maintenance Schedule Cleaning & Protecting For optimum performance from your rotary table, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section. It is essential that the rotary table be cleaned after every use. DO NOT use compressed air to clean your rotary table. Chips or debris may become lodged between the moving parts, reducing the life and accuracy of the tool.
Mfg. Since 10/09 M A IN T E N A N C E Lubrication SB1363-64/SB1367-68 Important: Use an oil can or gun that has a plastic or rubber tip. Metal tips can damage the ball and spring inside the oilers. The recommended schedule on the previous page for the lubrication tasks is based on light-to-medium usage. Keeping in mind that lubrication helps to protect the value and operation of the rotary table, these lubrication tasks may need to be performed more frequently than recommended, depending on usage.
SB1363-64/SB1367-68 M A IN T E N A N C E 2. Use the backlash adjustment ring to disengage the gears from the handwheel so that the table rotates freely by hand. 3. Turn the rotary table upside down on a protective surface. 4. Loosen the cap screw that secures the spindle lock collar, then unthread and remove the collar (see Figure 16). Lock Collar Figure 16. Loosening the spindle lock collar cap screw. 5.
Mfg. Since 10/09 SERVICE Spindle Preload Setting the spindle preload on the rotary table affects the accuracy and ease of use during operation. Keep in mind, that too much preload will make table rotation difficult and will cause pre-mature wear of the gears and mating surfaces of the table. Conversely, not enough preload may result in reduced accuracy. Use your best judgment when setting the spindle preload on the rotary table. Tool Needed Qty Hex Wrench 3mm. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
