• Spindle Motor Power: 100 kW, providing high power for intensive turning operations.
• Machine dimensions: 5,900 mm x 10,100 mm x 7,200 mm, with overall dimensions requiring adequate space.

Usage Procedure

1. Machine Preparation:

   • Make sure the machine is correctly positioned and leveled.
   • Verify that the mechanical and electronic retrofitting system is completed and functioning.

2. Assembly of the Piece:

   • Place the workpiece on the work plateau and secure it using the appropriate clamping tools.

3. Parameter Setting:

   • Adjust processing parameters via the retrofitted control system. Set the rotation speeds and axis travels based on the part specifications and the type of machining.

4. Execution of the Process:

   • Start the machine and follow the turning program. Monitor the process carefully to ensure the part is machined to specifications.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance:

   • After completing the work, clean the plateau and the work area. Make sure the chip conveyor is working properly.

Accessories and Additional Equipment

• Additional Carriage: The Kolomna Mod. 1540 T is supplied with two carriages, which can be used to facilitate the positioning and handling of the pieces.
• Drilling Unit: An additional drilling unit allows you to perform drilling operations without the need to equip another machine.

Formulas for Optimal Use

• Cutting speed (Vc):
  Vc=π×D×N1000Vc = \frac{\pi \times D \times N}{1000}
  $V$ $c$ $=$ 1000 π × D × N ​Where DD $D$ is the diameter of the workpiece and NN $N$ is the rotation speed in RPM.

• Feed per Revolution (f):
  f=VN×1000f = \frac{V}{N} \times 1000
  $f$ $=$ N V ​× $1000$ Where VV $V$ is the feed and NN $N$ is the rotation speed.

Workable Materials

The Kolomna Vertical Lathe Mod. 1540 T is suitable for:

• Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals: Steel, cast iron, aluminum and brass.
• Composite Materials: Depending on tool configuration and machining settings.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly remove chips and dust from the plateau and guides.
• Lubrication: Keep slides and moving components well lubricated to ensure smooth operation.
• Periodic Check: Periodically checks the control system and main engine.

Evaluation of Good Used

To make sure your Kolomna Mod. 1540 T is in good condition:

• Visual Inspection: Check the machine for signs of wear or structural damage.
• Operational Test: Verifies that the engine, control system and other components function correctly.
• Documentation: Request maintenance documentation and certificates of conformity.

Sectors of Use

The Kolomna Vertical Lathe Mod. 1540 T is particularly suitable for:

• Heavy Industry: For the processing of large and heavy components.
• Energy Sector: For parts used in industrial plants and turbines.
