1.5 Major Operating Controls
Electrical Controls
Figure 1
The ACE control panel can be rotated 180° to be used on
the other side of the vehicle. The fixed power supply plug
delivers all power to the ACE.
The STOP button is a general stop for all lathe functions.
The SPEED adjustment knob controls the speed of the
lathe. Quickly turning the adjustment stops the motor, as
a safety feature.
The ACT light indicates when the ACT switch has been
enabled.
The COMP button displays indicator lights showing the
progress of the compensation procedure.
The REVERSE switch reverses the direction of lathe
motor.
Rotor Feed Control
Figure 2
The feed hand wheel moves the cutting inserts along the
rotor surface. Using the feed positioning knob on the
hand wheel, rotate the feed hand wheel clockwise to
move the cutting inserts toward the inner diameter (cen -
ter) of the rotor, or counterclockwise to move them
toward the outer diameter of the rotor. In other words, the
rotor feed control moves the cutting inserts in towards the
hub, or out to the outer edge of the rotor.
Feed Engagement Knob
The feed engagement knob is the wing nut located on the
rotor feed control. This knob is tightened to engage the
automatic feed.
Depth of Cut Adjustment Knob
The depth of cut adjustment knob adjusts the cutting
depth of the cutting inserts. Rotating the depth of cut
adjustment knob clockwise feeds the cutting inserts into
the rotor’s friction surface. Rotating the depth of cut
adjustment knob counterclockwise moves the cutting
inserts away from the rotor’s friction surface. Each mark
on the depth of cut adjustment knob represents 0.004
inch of cut.
Figure 3
Lights on the bar graph (I) turn off once the
lathe motor has been engaged. The lights will
not return unless the compensation process
is repeated.
Adjust depth of cut only after removing slack
from adjustment assembly (by turning depth
of cut adjustment knob clockwise, with inside
and outside cutting tool lock knobs locked).
Turning the depth of cut adjustment knob
counterclockwise and then clockwise without
first removing slack on locking cutting tool
lock knobs will cause improper depth of cut
adjustment.
