The most popular CNC machine in large shops and workshops is the 16A20F3 lathe

Brief history of the series

Two years later, in 1934, production of such models as DIP-300, DIP-400, DIP-500 was launched.
By 1937, special types of nomenclature and sizes were being developed. A unified system of symbols is adopted. Thus, the first machine produced by the plant was named 1D62, but the abbreviation DIP-20 was retained.

The year 1940 was marked by the creation of the 162K 26A machine, as one of the versions of the DIP-200.

Then various modernized machines were produced, and in 1948, the legendary 1A62 appeared. The models were produced in large quantities.

And finally, in 1971, the first prototype of the 16 to 20 machine was manufactured. The machine even received a gold medal at the fair in ’72.

From 1972 to 1973, reconstruction was carried out at the plant, this is due to the large-scale production of new 16K20 models. The company is developing mass production of this model, and at the end of 1973, the monthly production turnover reaches 1 thousand copies. About 10% of the total is exported.

Then various modifications of the 16 to 20 model appeared, including 16 K 25, 16 K2 0M, 16 K2 0P, 16 K 20V, 16 K 20G, 16 K 20K, 16K20F1, 16K20PF1, 16K20VF1 and others. All were based on the basic standards of the 16 to 20 model.

1988 will mark the end of production of machines of this model. It was replaced by the MK series.

Manufacturer information

Near the workshop in Zamoskvorechye, the Bromley brothers began construction of a mechanical plant in 1857. His first products were axes, sickles and other tools for peasants. In 1864, the brothers purchased a new plot and began to obtain permission to build new workshop buildings.

In 1870 and 1872, planing and drilling machines from Zamoskvorechye received gold medals at the Moscow Industrial Exhibition. The triple expansion steam engine was awarded the Grand Gold Medal at the International Exhibition in Paris.

In 1918, the plant was nationalized and modernized. Since 1922, the plant has completely switched to the production of metal-cutting machines. In 1971, the first machines of the 16K20 series were produced. After the reconstruction of the plant, in 1973 they began to produce 16A20F3 with CNC.

Important!

Since 2016, the Moscow Machine Tool Plant has been located in New Cheryomushki. The production of CNC lathes has resumed.

Machine design

The basis of the device is a durable U-shaped frame with 2 hardened, ground guides on top. It is installed on pedestals in a cast metal support, which is used as a trough for emulsion and collecting chips. The main electric drive is located in the cabinet on the headstock side of the product.

Dimensions of screw-cutting lathe 16K20

Machine dimensions: length 2505, 2795, 3195 or 3795 mm; width 1190 mm; height 1500 mm. The weight of the machine depends on its length and can be 2.835; 3.005; 3.225 or 3.685 per 103 kg.

Spindle

The spindle shaft is steel with a through longitudinal hole through which a rod is passed, used as a workpiece, or a drift when knocking out the front center. To rotate the spindle in this machine, specialized precision rolling bearings are used. They are distinguished by high manufacturing precision and wear resistance, so they do not require periodic adjustments during maintenance during the operational period.

The shaft supports are lubricated by oil supplied to them under pump pressure. The front end of the spindle shaft is made in accordance with GOST 12593 - with a short centering cone 1:4.

Headstock

The headstock or headstock of the workpiece serves to fix one end of the workpiece and transmit torque to it. It houses the spindle, bulkhead box and other components. On the outside there are switching levers for the bulkhead box.

The output shaft of the headstock of the product is connected through gears to the feed reducer. The latter allows the slide to carry out the feed movement using the drive shaft during turning. Or by means of a lead screw for thread cutting. Which can be connected to the feed box without intermediate links.

Apron

This unit is necessary to move the caliper with the tool holder both along and across the axis of rotation of the part. It converts the rotary motion of the screw into linear displacement of the caliper. You can move the latter not only manually, but also by taking away part of the rotational torque from the spindle. The apron of this machine is equipped with a high-precision feed cut-off device on a stop, a design that has not been seen before.

Caliper

Designed to hold the tool holder with the cutter fixed in it near the workpiece. Possessing several degrees of freedom, it can move under the influence of the apron to form the desired surface character of the part with a cutter. To control the amount of movement, the unit is equipped with scale rulers with sighting devices that increase the accuracy and ease of reading readings.

Tailstock

She's a stubborn grandma. It is installed on guides that allow it to move along the machine. It has a tapered hole coaxial with the headstock output shaft. Which allows you to set a center to support the second end of the blank. Or a reamer, tap, drill and other similar ones for performing operations from the open end of the workpiece.

• grounds;
• beds;
• caliper carriages;
• rotary tool holder;
• tailstock;
• guides;
• automatic transmission;
• headstock;
• electromagnetic couplings;
• drives (transverse and longitudinal);
• hydraulic booster.

The metal workpiece is fixed in a spindle, which is driven into rotation by an electric motor that provides operation through a V-belt drive, the speed of which is regulated by an automatic transmission and a spindle head gearbox. The automatic transmission has 6 electromagnetic clutches, which, using their combined activation, select the required 1 of 9 possible shaft rotation speeds.

Kinematic diagram 16K20F3

To change the rotation speed, spindle head gears are used, which have manual switching and are capable of adjusting rotation in 12 modes.

The machine carriage has the ability to make longitudinal displacements using an electromagnetic drive. The transverse transmission of the caliper with the tool holder is carried out using a drive, a gear wheel, and a lead screw.

Turret head 16K20F3

The rotary tool holder can be installed in six positions, changing angles with a horizontal axis of rotation of the plane and mounted on a transverse support. The tool holder positions the tool head, in which up to six cutters used for finishing the workpiece can be mounted according to a given program.

The hydraulic drive, which includes a hydraulic station and two hydraulic boosters, is equipped with:

• control pump;
• drive;
• container with oil;
• control equipment.

Hydraulic drive mechanisms provide all the basic processes associated with the operation of the units.

CNC system

The frame has a chip removal conveyor. The support group consists of an apron and the base of a removable automatic turret. They are driven by a drive and a transverse movement VGK. The longitudinal movement of the tool is carried out through angular gears and a coupling from the VGK screws.

On the left above the frame in the housing there is a gearbox and spindle head. The chuck is installed mechanized and has its own electric drive. The tailstock is located on the bed guides. The quill is driven by an electromechanical drive. Push-button machine control panel. It is located on a bracket and easily changes its position.

Prevention and repair

Daily care activities

Before starting work:

• Inspection of the machine.
• Lubricate the lead screw and shaft.
• Controlling the amount of oil.
• Switching on with checking nodes without load.

During operation:

• Switch feeds and gears only after the moving units have finally stopped.
• When working with cast iron or abrasive materials, cover the guides with thick cloth.

After the end of working hours: turn off the power supply, remove the shavings, wipe with a rag soaked in kerosene, and lubricate the open guides with oil.

Malfunctions and their elimination

A slight increase in caliper clearances can be eliminated by adjusting the wedges in the transverse or upper slide guides, and the adjustment screws in the rear guide of the longitudinal slide. Then, moving the slide to the maximum distance, make sure that it moves smoothly. Leaks in the screw drive of the cross slide are eliminated by adjusting the screws located behind the tool holder platform.
