ADJUSTABLE GIB SCREWS After using the slotter far a long time, it will be necessary to eliminate the potential play createci in the tool. Do this by unscrewing the hexagonal nut, tightening the centre screw and then screwing the hexagonal nut back on. Repeat this operation on ali four gibs al the slotter.
FIRST USE Mount the slotter onta the lathe. Slightly loosen the 8 clamping bolts and align the slotter using a comparator. The latter is to be placed on alignment area 7. When the slotter is perlectly aligned, tighten the 8 clamping bolts and operate the slotter at 150 movements per minute lor about 1O minutes. Grease the moving slide with common oil lor guides. This will solten the gaskets and break in the slotter belare use. GREASING To preserve the mechanics, we recommend greasing the slotter every 1O hours al use, meaning actual use (see example al calculation lor greasing). Prelerably use Persian Poligrease EP 1. Suspend greasing when you notice grease coming out al the perimeter area al the moving slide. Example: if 2 minutes are required to produce one piece and 1O seconds are needed to make just the keyway lor a leather key, grease alter about 3600 pieces. SUGGEST : We recommend using a semi-synthetic, stringy, and adherent grease. Use the cap on the cover to check the grease level. When the grease is visible, you can stop greasing. MANUTENZIONE Suggeriamo una manutenzione annuale quando lo strumento è sottoposto ad uso intensivo. La manutenzione richiederà pochi giorni e si eseguirà sostituendo le parti sottoposte ad usura quali cuscinetti, guarnizioni, ecc. SUGGEST : REV ® provide the possibility to make the maintenance himself. REV ® can provide a maintenance kit with all the necessary component to make the maintenance of the unit in a very fast and easy way. INTERNAL/EXTERNAL PROCESSING This motorised slotter can perform internal or external processing. Simply reverse the motorised rotation direction as follows:
SUGGEST : do not tighten the gibs too much, the risk is stopping the movement of the sled. Y-AXIS ADJUSTMENT PIN
This is used to corree! any symmetry errors between the hole and the piece currently being processed. After unscrewing the tool clamping screws 1, turn the Y-axis adjustment pin either clockwise or anticlockwise.This will allow you to move the tool along the Y-axis. The adjustment range is +/- 0.5, which is extensive enough to corree! all al the symmetry errors on lathes without a Y-axis. CUTTING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT SCREW This screw is used to corree! any conicaI errors due to mechanical bending. By turning it clockwise or anticlockwise the cutting angle can be changed by about +/- 3°. This range is sufficient enough to corree! any conical errors. GREASE NIPPLES These two grease nipples are built into the external structure al the motorised slotter and are used to grease after about 1O hours al use, meaning the effective operating time al the tool (see example al calculation far greasing). THREADED HOLE 3/8" FOR INTERNAL GAS SUPPLY AII al the tools leature holes far the supply al coolant. The internal supply is recommended more than the external supply and allows the lubricant to be directed to the cutting area. SUGGEST : the maximum recommended operating pressure for internal lubrication is 10/12 bar. ALIGNMENT AREA Useful area for the set-up for the housing on the turret.
> control M04 = external processing > control M03 = internal processing.
Depending on whether internal or external processing is to be done, the tool musi be fixed with the insert following the cutting direction. DETACHMENT DURING THE RETURN PHASE During the return phase, the tool detaches !rom the processed surface by 0.25 mm. This movement is essential to preserve the integrity ol the insert.
