MACHINE REGULATION AND UTILIZATION
6.1
Checking and setting
The cutting tool on the REKOR D is the part used to cut the ke y blanks and should be period ically
checked and replaced, if necessary.
Every time the cutting tool is changed, and during periodical operational tests, check calibration.
6.2
Calibration
The REKORD 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. 11).
The axis setting for the REKORD is fixed and is established on assembly in our workshops
Fig. 11
Depth calibration:
Depth calibration is regulation of the cutting depth (fig. 11-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. 12-B).
3) Check that the adjusting keys adhere properly to the clamps (fig. 12-B).
4) Turn the gauge rod (G) towards the operator so that the gauges come into contact with the adjusting
keys (fig. 12-B). Lower the gauge rod (G).
5) Release the carriage by raising the release lever (B) (fig. 4).
6) Raise the carriage and take up to the cutting tool.
7) Take the keys into contact with the cutting tool and tracer point.
8) Turn the cutting tool anticlockwise manually and check that it skims the adjusting keys in several
places.
9) If necessary, regulate the depth of the cut with the micrometric tracer point, as follows:
a) loosen the screw holding the tracer point (J).
b) turn the grub screw (K) clockwise to advance the tracer point.
c) turn the grub screw (K) anticlockwise to return.
ATTENTION: each notch on the centesimal ring corresponds to 0,025 mm (fig. 12-A).
10) Repeat these operations until regulation is complete, then tighten the tracer point locking grub scre
(J).
