KINEMATIC DESIGN
Throughout this manual you will find references to kinematics and the
kinematic design of this product. The principle of kinematics is that three points of
contact provide the most stability. The best example of this is to compare the stability
of a three legged stool and four legged stool. The three legged stool utilises the
kinematic concept and will never rock because it has three points of contact. The four
legged stool however is far more unstable, only a tiny amount of distortion will cause
the stool to become unstable and move. Record Power apply the kinematic design
theory to the CL3-CAM and CL4-CAM lathes, wherever there is a critical piece of the
structure being assembled kinematics are employed giving unsurpassed stability and
rock solid performance. Please take care to follow all instructions when assembling,
making sure that all critical kinematic areas are correctly positioned so that you enjoy
optimum performance.
