Use and Processing Procedure

1. Machine Preparation:

   • Place the lathe on a stable and well-leveled surface. Make sure all components are correctly assembled and secured.
   • Check the oil level in the hydraulic power unit and the operation of the hydraulic copier.

2. Setting:

   • Adjust the spindle for the desired rotation speed based on the material and type of work.
   • Configure the hydraulic copier to replicate the desired shape or profile on the part.

3. Turning Operation:

   • Start the lathe and monitor the turning process. Use vertical trolleys for accessory work if necessary.
   • The hydraulic copier will perform the turning operations by replicating the defined profile, while the piece is machined on the bench.

4. Control and Finishing:

   • After machining, inspect the finished part for compliance with specifications.
   • Perform any manual finishing operations if required.

Accessories and Options

• Bezel and Additional Supports: Can be used to support longer or heavier workpieces, improving stability during processing.
• Additional Turning Tools: Different types of tools can be mounted to suit various turning applications.
• Cooling System: Not included as standard, but can be added to improve tool life and part quality.

Optimal Use Parameters

• Spindle Rotational Speed ​​(N): Must be selected based on the material and type of turning operation. Formula to calculate cutting speed:

  $$V$$
  • Where VcV_c $V$ is $DD\; D\; is\; the\; diameter\; of\; the\; piece\; and\; NN\; N$ is $the$ rotation speed in rpm.

• Feed (F): Must be adjusted based on material and tool configuration. Advancement formula:

  $$F$$
  • Where SS $S$ is the feed per revolution in mm, NN $N$ is the number of revolutions and nn $n$ is the number of passes.

Workable Materials

The CENTAURO T3 1600 is designed to process materials such as:

• Steel and Alloys: For industrial applications requiring high strength.
