Motorized spinning repairs with SRS 1 Machine

1. Cosmetic Spinning Repairs
This short slide show explains the attachments necessary for cosmetic spinning repairs, using the steel SRS1 NewArc™ machine.

2. The basic SRS1 machine, shown
here with the speed reducer
gearbox under the base plate.

Pressure Vent
To deliver power to the mainshaft, we incorporated an Iron Horse™ 90 degree worm
drive gearbox. The unit has a 5:1 speed reduction ratio, which delivers 350 output rpm
to the mainshaft. The 5:1 output ratio also means 5 times greater torque is delivered
as well. The unit is also vented to release pressure if it should ever overheat. While in
use, the temperature of the gearbox should never exceed 225 degrees at the case.

4. A custom driveshaft is used to deliver the final power to the mainshaft and
our standard flexible nylon drive coupling system precludes the possibility of
shaft misalignment. The driveshaft is keyed and the flange holds it in position
preventing debris from getting between it and the gearbox output shaft.

5. The speed reducer gearbox with variable speed and reversible DC drive motor attached.
The completed motorization module mounted on the underside of the SRS1 machine. The
next slide shows a video of the gearbox drive shaft rotating with the nylon coupler installed.

6. When the nylon coupler is out of
the machine, the Mainshaft can
be spun freely with one finger.
The coupler should only be
installed between the gearbox
driveshaft and the machine
mainshaft when the spinning
feature is needed. The following
two slides illustrate the
motorized spinning process.
