About Calibration
Calibration is all about the confidence in the end results of your manufacturing process. Calibra-
tion assures you that your cut parameters are accurate and within the specified limits.
If slight discrepancies in the machining of a door are observed, the built in KVAL calibration can
adjust the tooling to fix the issue.
In troubleshooting, calibration can be an essential step in solving the issue.
About the Calibration Menus and the Calibration Reference Cut
This chapter describes the
Calibration Menus
and to how to perform a
Calibration Reference Cut.
In the
Calibration Menus
, offsets are entered to calibrate assemblies in the machine. See “About
the Calibration Tabs” on page 3-3.
The
Calibration Reference Cut
delivers a calibration cut for the Hinge Heads and for the Lock
Head. Use the
Calibration Menus
to adjust the tool sets from information taken from the calibra-
tion cuts.
1.
Hinge Cut: Performs a cut to verify the Predrill, Hinge Router, and the Counter
Rotate Router.
2.
Lock Cut: Performs a cut to verify the Predrill, Counter Rotate Router, Plunge
Router, Plate Router, and the Deep Mortise Router.
Before you Calibrate
Before you start calibration, check for the following common issues.
1.
Is the loaded setup correct for the current cut?
2.
Check tools for wear.
3.
Is the correct Calibration loaded?
4.
Are the stops set up correctly?
5.
When did the problem first start? during a run, at start up.
6.
When was the last calibration?
7.
Is the Door True?
8.
Use Router Bit Depth Gauge (PN: 432C) to check depth.
9.
Check for sawdust build-up, which may affect depth.
Note: KVAL recommends that a test door is run first and checked for specifications
before a full run is started.
