17
Infeed and outfeed presser adjustment.
a)
Adjust the vertical presser (2) located at the shaft inlet and position its end at approx. 3 mm from the milling
cutter. (Fig. 14)
b)
The vertical presser (1), located at the shaft outlet, should be adjusted in different directions:
-
horizontally, to bring the presser as close as possible to the milling cutter
-
axially, to centre the presser with respect to the workpiece width
-
vertically, using as reference a gauge or a workpiece, until the presser is perfectly aligned with the cutters.
17. SECOND LOWER PLANER SHAFT ADJUSTMENT
(FIRTH SHAFT IN 5-SHAFT MACHINES / SIXTH SHAFT IN 6-SHAFT MACHINES)
Horizontal adjustment
a)
Insert a spacer ring 10mm in thickness in the horizontal shaft. (Fig. 17)
b)
Position the gauge between the spacer ring and the vertical fence.
c)
Slacken the lock handle, adjust the planer shaft horizontally until the gauge is perfectly aligned between the
spacer ring and the vertical fence.
d)
Set the mechanical digital indicator at 10 mm.
e)
Lock using the handle.
Vertical adjustment
a)
The outfeed table should be vertically adjusted if using this shaft for finishing the lower part of the workpiece.
b)
To carry out this operation, proceed as follows:
c)
Slacken the table lock screw
d)
Insert a shim under the table of a size equal to the thickness to be removed
e)
Tighten the lock screws
f)
Place a gauge between the outfeed table and the milling cutter
g)
Slacken the lock handle, adjust the planer shaft vertically until the working edge of the milling cutter touches
the reference gauge
h)
Lock using the handle
18. UNIVERSAL SHAFT ADJUSTMENT
The spindle/universal shaft unit can be adjusted in three directions: horizontal, vertical and angular.
The combination of horizontal and vertical adjustments allows spindle positioning as for any other shaft preceding
this one, to carry out other profile turning or precise finish sanding.
A combination of the three adjustments allows positioning the spindle at any working angle on a 360° r ange, to carry
out special profiles, even with acute angles.
Horizontal adjustment
This command allows moving the spindle unit horizontally with respect to the table.
Slacken the lock handle.
Adjust using screw ( 2) (Fig. 19) and reading the position on the mechanical digital indicator
Lock using the handle.
Vertical adjustment
This command allows moving the spindle unit vertically with respect to the lower or upper part of the table.
Slacken the lock handle.
Adjust using screw ( 1) (Fig. 19) and reading the position on the mechanical digital indicator
Lock using the handle.
This axis allows positioning the spindle in the lower or upper part of the table.
Angular adjustment
This command allows tilting the spindle unit 0° to 90°.
Slacken the lock screws ( 3 ) (Fig. 19).
Adjust tilt using screw ( 4) (Fig. 19) and reading the angle on the vernier scale.
Lock using screws ( 3 ) (Fig. 19).
