Description of the Machine

ALPE 180 Parallel Lathe

1. Construction and Components:

   • Structure: The ALPE 180 lathe is built with a sturdy and stable base, designed to reduce vibrations and ensure precision during processing. The machine is equipped with a long and solid bench that supports the workpiece and facilitates turning operations.
   • Main Components: The lathe is composed of a chuck, a transverse and longitudinal slide, a tool trolley and a tailstock. These components work together to perform cutting and turning operations.

2. Measurements and Mechanical Characteristics:

   • Maximum Turning Length (ALPE 180): With a maximum turning length of 1500 mm, the ALPE 180 lathe is capable of processing pieces of considerable size, suitable for processes that require good turning capacity.
   • Tip Height (ALPE 180): The tip height is 180 mm, providing sufficient processing capacity for medium-sized workpieces.
   • Bar passage (ALPE 180): With a bar passage of 30 mm, the lathe allows you to machine pieces with a diameter of up to this size, limiting the maximum dimensions of the material that can be machined.

Usage Procedure

1. Preparation:

   • Make sure the ALPE 180 lathe is in good operating condition and that all components are lubricated and functional. Check fluid levels and check electrical connections.

2. Assembly of the Piece:

   • Place the workpiece on the ALPE 180 lathe chuck and secure it using the appropriate clamping device. Make sure the piece is well aligned and stable.

3. Tool Setup:

   • Load the turning tool into the tool trolley. Adjust the tool position to achieve the desired cutting depth and angle.

4. Machine Configuration:

   • Set machining parameters, including spindle rotation speed and slide feed, based on the material and part specifications. Use the knobs and controls to adjust the settings.

5. Startup and Monitoring:

   • Start the machine and monitor the turning process. Make sure the part is machined to specifications and check the quality of the workmanship.

6. Finishing and Control:

   • After machining, inspect the finished part to ensure it meets required tolerances and specifications. Make any adjustments if necessary.

Matching accessories

• Additional spindle:

  • To machine pieces with different diameters or to improve clamping capacity.

• Support Bezel:

  • To support long workpieces and improve stability during machining.

• Additional tailstock:

  • To increase machining capacity and improve precision on longer workpieces.

Formulas for Optimal Use Parameters

• Cutting Speed ​​(Vc):

  • Formula: Vc = (π × D × N) / 1000
  • Vc = Cutting speed in m/min
  • D = Tool diameter in mm
  • N = Spindle rotation speed in rpm

• Progress per Lap (f):

  • Formula: f = (D × N) / (1000 × n)
  • f = Feed per revolution in mm/rev
  • D = Workpiece diameter in mm
  • N = Rotation speed in rpm
  • n = Number of tool teeth

Workable Materials

• Metals: Steel, aluminium, brass, copper
• Plastic Materials: Polymers, composite materials

Maintenance

• Lubrication:

  • Check and replace lubricants regularly to keep the components of your ALPE 180 lathe in good condition.

• Regular Inspection:

  • Periodically check the wear of mechanical parts, including bearings and guides, and replace any damaged components.

• Cleaning:

  • Keep your lathe clean by removing chips and machining residues. Regular cleaning prevents debris buildup and ensures optimal performance.

• Component Replacement:

  • Replace worn components to maintain the precision and functionality of the ALPE 180 lathe.

Evaluation of used cars

• General Status:

  • Check that the ALPE 180 lathe has no structural damage and that all parts are in good working condition.
