7 MACHINE REGULATION AND UTILIZATION
7.1
Checking and setting
The cutting tools on the DUO are the parts used to cut the key blanks and should be periodically checked
and replaced, if necessary.
Every time the cutting tool is changed, and during periodical operational tests, check calibration.
7.2
Calibration - LEFT-HAND CARRIAGE
The DUO key-cutting machine requires two types of calibration: axis and depth.
Axis calibration:
Axis calibration is regulation of the space between the stop and the cuts (fig. 13).
The axis setting is fixed and is established on assembly in our workshops.
Fig. 13
Depth calibration:
Depth calibration is regulation of the cutting depth (fig. 13-A).
Proceed as follows:
1) Ensure that the key-cutting machine is off by unplugging the power cable.
2) Place the adjusting keys (provided) on the clamps (fig. 13-B).
3) Check that the adjusting keys adhere properly to the clamps.
4) Turn the gauge rod (D2) towards the operator so that the gauges come into contact with the adjusting
keys (fig. 14). Lower the gauge rod.

5) Release the carriage by raising the release lever.
6) Raise the carriage and take up to the cutting tool (fig. 15).
7) Turn the cutting tool anticlockwise manually and check that it skims the adjusting keys in several plac-
es.
8) If necessary, regulate the depth of the cut with the micrometric tracer point, as follows:
a) loosen the screw (G2) holding the tracer point.
b) turn the ring nut (G1) clockwise to advance the tracer point (fig. 15 and fig. 16).
c) turn the ring nut (G1) anticlockwise to return (fig. 17).
