HANDLING BOOK FOR THE BASKETS TOOLING

4. ASSEMBLING
To start up with the assembling the baskets tooling it is necessary to connect the MT150A/R to the line
tension and in the case of the MT150A it is required to make an initialisation as it explained on the ma-
chine handling book.
Once we have the machine started and with the initialisation made we then proceed to assemble the
tooling on the bench of the machine.
We place the traction square bar (2) on the head of the machine and we fasten it by using the fastening
washer (3), this will enable the user to make a steady and safe job since he doesn’t have to worry
about the traction square bar. In order to fasten the washer, it is necessary to use two screws provided
along with the tooling on the holes made in the head.
NOTE:
Then the baskets tooling must be moved to the head inserting the main drive axis (1) in the traction
square bar (2) if they are not symmetrically aligned then it is required to turn the main axis up to
achieve this. It is then when we make the main axis turn until the front gauge (11) reaches the ma-
chine structure and we fasten the tooling by using the nuts and the clamping parts (10).
4.1. Mechanizing of the fastening holes
Should the twisting machine does not have the holes to fix the fastening washer (3) the user will have
to mechanize them by following the process indicated below:
We’ll place the basket tooling as it is indicated in the previous section, once it is mounted in the trac-
tion square bar (2), we’ll put the fastening washer (3) in the Main drive Axis (1), we move the tooling
to the head and present the main drive axis (1) to the traction square bar (2), it is then when we put the
fastening washer (3) touching the head of the machine and being helped by a marker or some similar
so we can mark the holes centres. Then we dismantle the tooling and we make the holes by using a
drill so they can be screwed to M8 and with 15mm nut depth. Once this has been done we can go on
mounting the baskets tooling.
In case the twisting machine MT150 A/R doesn’t have those holes, the user will have to make them
by following the procedure exposed on section 4.1
