2. Güvenlik Talimatları
To ensure safe operation and prevent injury or damage to the equipment, always adhere to the following safety guidelines:
- Her zaman güvenlik gözlükleri, eldivenler ve işitme koruması da dahil olmak üzere uygun kişisel koruyucu ekipmanı (PPE) kullanın.
- Ensure the indexing head is securely mounted to the machine table before operation.
- Verify that the workpiece is properly clampAynaya veya merkezler arasına yerleştirilmiş.
- Keep hands, loose clothing, and long hair away from moving parts during operation.
- Do not exceed the recommended speed and feed rates for your machine and material.
- Disconnect power to the machine before making any adjustments, changing workpieces, or performing maintenance.
- Read and understand the machine tool's manual before operating the indexing head in conjunction with other machinery.
3. Ürün Bittiview ve Bileşenler
The VEVOR BS-0 Indexing Head is constructed from durable HT200 cast iron, providing high stability and wear resistance for long-term use. Key components include the main body with an adjustable headstock, a 3-jaw chuck for workpiece clamping, an indexing plate mechanism for precise divisions, and a tailstock for supporting longer workpieces.

4. Kurulum
- Mounting the Indexing Head: Securely attach the indexing head to the milling machine table using appropriate T-nuts and bolts. Ensure it is aligned correctly with the machine's axis.
- Mounting the Tailstock: Position the tailstock on the machine table, aligning its center with the indexing head's center. Secure it firmly using T-nuts and bolts.
- Installing the Workpiece:
- For shorter workpieces, clamp them directly into the 3-jaw chuck.
- For longer workpieces, mount them between the chuck and the tailstock center. Ensure the workpiece is concentric and held firmly to prevent movement during machining.
- Adjusting the Headstock Angle: The headstock can be tilted from 10° below horizontal to 90° vertical. Loosen the locking bolts, adjust to the desired angle using the graduated scale, and then tighten the locking bolts securely.

5. Kullanım Talimatları
The indexing head allows for precise angular division of a workpiece. There are two primary methods: direct indexing and indirect indexing.
5.1 Direct Indexing
Direct indexing is used for simple divisions (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 divisions) using the direct indexing plate, which typically has 24 holes.
- Engage the direct indexing lever.
- Rotate the chuck to the desired division, aligning the index pin with the corresponding hole on the direct indexing plate.
- Disengage the index pin to allow rotation, then re-engage to lock the position for machining.
5.2 Indirect Indexing
Indirect indexing provides a wider range of divisions using the interchangeable indexing plates. The reduction ratio of the worm gear is 1:40 (40 turns of the crank equals one full rotation of the chuck).
- Select Indexing Plate: Choose the appropriate indexing plate (A, B, or C) based on the desired number of divisions. Each plate has different hole circles.
- Calculate Turns: Calculate the required number of full turns of the crank handle and the number of holes to move on the selected hole circle. The formula is:
(40 / Desired Divisions) = Turns and HolesÖrneğinample, for 100 divisions: 40/100 = 2/5. If using a 25-hole circle, move 10 holes (2/5 * 25 = 10). - Position Crank Handle: Insert the crank handle into the indexing mechanism.
- Perform Indexing: Rotate the crank handle the calculated number of full turns and then move the index pin the calculated number of holes on the chosen hole circle.
- Kilit Pozisyonu: Lock the index pin into the hole to secure the position for machining.
- Tekrarlamak: Repeat for each division required.

5.3 Workpiece Support
For longer workpieces, the included tailstock provides essential support, ensuring stability and reducing vibration during machining operations.

6. Bakım
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your VEVOR BS-0 Indexing Head.
- Temizlik: After each use, clean the indexing head and tailstock thoroughly to remove chips, dust, and coolant residue. Use a brush and a clean, dry cloth.
- Yağlama: Periodically apply a light machine oil to all moving parts, including the chuck jaws, indexing mechanism, and lead screws, to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
- Denetleme: Regularly inspect the indexing head for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Tighten any loose bolts or screws.
- Depolamak: Store the indexing head in a clean, dry environment when not in use to protect it from rust and damage.
