2 MACHINE INSTALLATION AND CHARACTERISTICS
2.1 INSTALLATION
The machine has been assembled, calibrated and checked and is ready to use.
There is no need to perform any assembly operations. However, before using
the machine, it’s a good idea to carry out the following checks:
•
Connect the AVANTCODE machine to a suitable power supply (220 V
50/60 Hz), in accordance with the information specified on the ID label
on the back of the machine.
•
It is very important that the electricity supply is earthed. Ensure that the
machine is connected to the earth.
After unpacking the machine and connecting the power supply, move the switch
to position 1. (Fig.2).
Fig.2
Make sure the emergency button is not pressed down, if it is, release it.
When switched on, the JMA logo will appear alongside an internal test, then a
few moments later, the carriages will move to their start-up position (if not in
position already). The machine is ready to use.
2.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The AVANTCODE machine has been designed to cut flat keys. The tiniest
details have been carefully designed to produce a compact machine that’s easy
to use and very precise. This is a mechatronic machine, with two stepper
motors for moving the carriages and a third motor to open the automatic clamp
(with key feeder).
One of the machine’s principle characteristics is that it allows you to use 2
different configurations without having to implement major changes. These two
options are as follows:
AVANTCODE (STANDARD): Standard clamp with 4 faces
AVANTCODE (KEY FEEDER): Automatic clamp and key feeder for
automatically cutting keys.
