MOTOR
AND
TRANSMISSION
UNIT
Transmission to the motor is driven by a belt which activates the cutting tool. The transmission unit
is protected by two protective covers:
-
cutting tool cover (L1),
-
motor cover (M1).
•
CLAMP CARRIAGE
The clamp carriage (D) comprises two clamps (E) for the cutting of bit and double bit keys. The
carriage moves horizontally by means of lever (A). The carriage handle (B) is used for rounding off
the key cuts. The key-cutting machine has a sloping table to channel chippings into the special tray
(C) situated under the carriage and easily removed for cleaning.
•
CUTTING UNIT
The cutting unit contains the working parts of the TARGA 2000 key-cutting machine, which work in
unison to read and duplicate original keys, and carry out the necessary finishing operations.
The working parts are listed below:
-
Cutting tool:
the cutting tool (L) is the part of the TARGA 2000 machine which cuts male and
female bit and double bit keys. The tool is in HSS super rapid steel and is protected by a spe-
cial cover (L1) to ensure safe operation.
-
Tracer point:
the tracer point (I) reads the profiles of male and female bit and double bit keys
and is housed on the left-hand side of the machine base. Cutting depth and pitch are easily
regulated. Its spring facilitates and speeds up cutting as it guides the operator’s movements
accurately and precisely.
-
Clamps for male and female bit and double bit keys:
the clamps (E) have two jaws which
ensure perfect grip on the stems of male and female bit and double bit keys.
-
Bit and double bit key clamp knobs:
the two jaws are locked in place by two anatomically
shaped knobs (E1) which ensure a perfect grip on the key.
-
Male and female centring devices:
the jaws also hold the male (G) and female (G1) centring
devices for aligning and centring the keys.
-
Centring device knobs:
two anatomically shaped knobs (G2) lock and release the centring
device to avoid vibrations during the key cutting operations.
-
Head stop
: situated on the carriage in the same position as the right-hand jaw, the head stop
(H) helps to secure the keys during the cutting operation. It can be regulated according to the
length of the key by releasing the knob (H1).
