The main parts of the machine are described below:
Main switch
The key-cutting machine is co nnected to a power supply socket provided with a differential switch.
Pressing the switch (O) pow ers the machine and illuminates the warning light (H1) to indicate that
current is on.
ATTENTION: Switch (O) is electromagnetic, in the event of a power failure it goes out
automatically. When electricity is restored it must be reset manually to power the machine again.
Motor on switch
The motor on switch (N) is placed on the left-hand side of the REKORD key-cutting machine.
ATTENTION: the illuminated switch remains on to indicate that the key-cutting machine has been started
(cutter in motion).
Motor and transmission unit
The motor has belt transmission. The transmission unit is placed on the left of the motor and activates
the brush (P) and cutting tool (L). These components are protected by two covers:
- protective belt cover (W),
- top cover (M).
Clamp carriage
The clamp carriage (R) consisting of two clamps, is fitted to the horizontal movement carriage, controlled
by lever (D) and is provided with a handle (A) under which can be found the carriage release button (B).
The carriage movement by means of gears, allows high precision movements which greatly facilitate all
cutting operations.
The carriage is fully protected by a special pan el designed to prevent the accumula tion of dust an d
chippings from the work process.
The machine is designed with a ramp along which chippings can fall into the special chippings tray (C),
placed under the carriage and easily removable for emptying and cleaning.
Cutting unit
The cutting unit contains the actual working parts of the REKORD key-cutting machine, which operate
together to cut and finish keys "read" from the originals.
The working parts are described below:
•
Brush
The brush (P) is used to eliminate burrs from the cuts and is made of non-abrasive material.
•
Cutting Tool
The cutting tool (L) is the part of the REKOR D used for cutting key blanks. The cutting tool is in H SS
super rapid steel and is protected by a special cover (M) to ensure safe operation.
•
Tracer point
The tracer point (I), used for reading the profile of the key to be copied, is housed on the left-hand side
of the machine base. A centesimal ring (K) ensures regulation of the depth.
•
Clamps
The clamps (E) have four sid es which rotate to allow the key to be perfectly secured on its back or in
profile (fig. 13-B).
•
Clamp knobs
The clamps a re locked by two anatomical knobs (F) which ensure perfect grip on the keys with only
slight locking pressure.
•
Calibration tabs
The clamps have two gauge tabs (H) with which to adjust key alignment.
