Axis calibration control:
1) Turn off the machine and unplug.
NOTE: check that the carriage is locked into the fi xed horizontal position (chap. 5.1).
2) Close the 2 clamps with their handles (J1).
3) Use the lever (A) to take the stops (Y) against the right-hand side of the tracer point and cutter.
The ideal condition is achieved when the internal part of the left-hand stop is up against the right-hand side of the
tracer point and the internal part of the right-hand stop is in contact with the right-hand side of the cutter.
If this condition is not achieved, contact Silca After-Sales Service.

Depth calibration
:
Depth calibration is regulation of the cutting depth (Fig. 15).
Proceed as follows:
1) Turn off the machine and unplug.
NOTE: check that the carriage is locked into the fi xed horizontal position (chap. 5.1).
2) Disable the tracer point spring (chap. 4.2).
3) Place the adjusting pins (provided) on the clamps
.
4) Move the carriage and take the pins into contact with the tracer point and cutter (Fig. 17)
.
5) Turn the cutting tool manually in the opposite sense to the rotation and check that it skims the adjusting pin in
several places
.
6) If necessary, regulate the cutting depth by means of the tracer point, as described
:
7) Loosen knob (E1).
-
turn the ring nuts (G) and (G1) clockwise to advance the tracer point (less deep cuts) (Fig. 18).
-
turn the ring nuts (G) and (G1) anticlockwise to return (deeper cuts) (Fig. 19).
NOTE: when the 2 ring nuts are turned together the movement for each notch equals 0.05 mm (with
knob (E1) loosened).
8) Repeat these operations until the cutting tool skims the adjusting pin in several points.
