glassworking lathe / manual / 2-axis

Universal- Glassworking lathe in special, handy precision execution for delicate joining operations.

The guide rails, consisting of hardened and ground precision flat guides, are assembled in a compound system on the solid and torsion resistant machine bed. A closed stainless steel cover protects the low-wear bed guide against thermal influence, broken glass and dirt.

Left working head is fixed, while right working head and burner support are smoothly adjustable via pinion gear (toothed rack / toothed wheel) and guide wagons by means of hand wheel. Both, right working head and burner support, can be locked at any position by means of cam lever. Right working spindle can be switched on and off, that means separated from drive, by using an electromagnetic clutch. Rotating direction of working spindles is reversible for advance- and reverse running.

Besides the plane flanges for assembly of scroll chucks, working spindles are additionally furnished with inner cones to accept quick-acting chucks as well. For an easy opening and closing they are equipped with an electromagnetic brake. If brake is activated, spindles are blocked when turning the machine off. When re-starting the rotation, brake will automatically release.
