MSLG Peralatan untuk Studi Roda Gigi pada Mesin Bubut

The Unit to Study Lathe Gears, "MSLG", has been designed by EDIBON to visually represent the mechanical transmission systems used in conventional lathes commonly employed in machining workshops and industrial facilities. The unit allows the analysis of different types of gears involved in the transmission of movement from the main shaft to the lead screw and the tool carriage, facilitating the practical understanding of kinematic principles applied to machining and thread generation processes.

The unit reproduces the mechanical operation of a lathe through different gear systems that allow the study of the relationship between rotational speeds, motion transmission, rotation reversal, and longitudinal feed variation. Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to understand the generation of different thread pitches and the automatic displacement of the tool carriage during the machining process.

The system incorporates a movable main transmission gear driven by a graduated handwheel, allowing the spindle rotational speed to be modified through different gear combinations. The main shaft includes three gears of different sizes for the study of transmission ratios and the influence of gear size on transmitted speed and movement.

The movement generated in the main shaft is transmitted to the spindle through a gear system that also allows rotation reversal. The unit also includes a Norton gearbox used for the selection of different thread pitches and feed speeds, transmitting movement to the lead screw and allowing the study of the automatic longitudinal displacement of the tool carriage.

The workpiece is represented by an interchangeable drum and the cutting tool by a marker, allowing a clear visualization of the machining simulation, material removal, and generation of different thread pitches. The unit also incorporates a manual operating lever for the tool carriage to study different operating modes.

Thanks to the transparent protective panel covering the gears, the unit allows complete observation of the movement of all mechanical elements while maintaining safe operating conditions.
